Odoleserin, an awó who lived in Oya Inle, inherited the powers of another diviner, a sorcerer of great fame named Tokun Lade Awo.
Odoleserin's work was to serve the figures of the king's court. Since those lands lived in wars and their people were very warlike, he removed with spiritual works the curses they carried.
However, he neglected his own dead, the Egun. One day he fell so ill that he could no longer leave his bed. Lying like that, he consulted Ifá, this Odu came out and he understood what his Egun was demanding of him. With great effort he sat up, made ebbó and improved a good deal.
A few days later he relapsed. Then he did a rogación of the head using two hens; when he finished, he fell asleep. He dreamed of the man who had been king of that land: he carried a shashará rooster in one hand and a shashará hen in the other. He spoke to him like this: “If you want to keep attending to others without falling ill, consecrate a secret for me and offer it pipe smoke. In that way, when you do a paraldo you will be able to call me before and also after, and I, not you, will be the one who does the work and keeps your body from harm.” He introduced himself as Tokun Lade Awo.
Odoleserin took the pair of shashará birds and offered them to the greater secret of the Egun of Odi Omoni, accompanying the offering with a song. From that day the Egun no longer harassed people.
On waking, the awó set up his secret. With the support of Tokun Lade he kept cleansing everyone without taking on the evils of others; the only thing he suffered was some changes in his face.
Whoever cares for others and neglects his own dead ends up paying for it with his health. When they are given a place and food, the Egun take on the heaviest part of the spiritual work and protect the awó's body.
An ebbó, after consulting Ifá and seeing this Odu; and, when he relapsed, a rogación of the head using two hens.
A secret consecrated to Tokun Lade, to which pipe smoke is offered, to call him at the start and at the end of every paraldo so that he is the one who does the work; its contents are in the complete treatise. The two shashará birds go to the greater secret of the Egun of Odi Omoni.
