Yemayá showed Olokun her young ducks, which fell over when they mated; Olokun, displeased, said he only ate strong blood, and Yemayá cried in shame. After Orunmila's ebbó — rooster and duck in the basin taken to the sea — Olokun fed the roosters and, in secret, the ducks: the strength of both was born, and from then on Yemayá eats akukó and Olokun eats big, strong ducks.
When this sign comes out, the Awó blows air upward and to the sides.
Ebbó: a duck, a rooster, aroldó cloth, sea water, indigo, 9 candles, a basin, a broken piece of jewelry, ekú, eyá, epó, agbadó, opolopo owó.
Yemayá told Olokun she had a brood of animals he would very much like to eat. Olokun in turn told Yemayá that he also had a brood of an animal she was going to like very much: that animal was the rooster. Until then, the only thing Yemayá ate was hen, and Olokun, for his part, ate nothing but abó and eledé.
One day, Yemayá went to Olokun's house to invite him to see her brood. Olokun went with Yemayá to her house to see the brood, which was ducks, and he saw that they were all falling over, since when they walked and the males mounted the females, they fell. Olokun was displeased and told Yemayá that all those animals were sick and that he only ate strong blood.
When Yemayá heard this, she began to cry, ashamed by what Olokun had said. He invited her to walk, and they came upon Elegbá who, seeing Yemayá crying, began to sing: Ofún Mawá Lodeo Ayauró Loná Olokun / Mawá Lodeo Ayauró Loná.
Olokun and Yemayá took a road, got turned around, and came back to Yemayá's brood of ducks. When they saw where Yemayá kept the ducks, they noticed in amazement how well they all swam, and Olokun said: «How fine they look, how lovely they are». Yemayá took some ducks and gave unyén to Olokun.
Elegbá said: «That is a tasty meal», and Olokun told them: «Come with me». And they went to Olokun's pens, where he had a brood of rams, pigs and roosters, and he gave them those animals to eat and asked them which they liked best. Yemayá and Elegbá said the rooster, and Olokun told them: «I am going to give you something else to eat, and we will see if you like it». He went to the pen and brought back two geese. Yemayá and Elegbá took fright and ran off, throwing up the ram and the pig they had eaten, and they got to Orunmila's house.
He did osode and saw Ofún Batrúpon for them, telling them: «You have eaten three things and two of them have made you ill. So you have to make ebbó with a rooster, a duck, a basin, sea water, blue and white cloth and 9 candles».
Yemayá went out quickly and brought the duck. Elegbá brought the rooster, stolen from Olokun's pen, and between the two of them they did it. Orunmila made the ebbó for them and said it had to be taken late. He killed the rooster and the duck inside the basin, and they took it to the sea along with the ebbó. Olokun, in the morning, saw that lovely thing swimming on the sea and was very pleased.
The next day, he began to feed the roosters well and, in secret from Yemayá, he also fed the ducks, so they would have strength. He sent for Yemayá and Elegbá and told them: «Every day you, Elegbá, have to come and eat rooster and take some to Yemayá too, and let her send me ducks».
Here the strength of the duck and the rooster was born; his nature is weak. Ewefá: purple basil, purple canutillo, coolness plant, bitter broom. From then on, Yemayá eats akukó and Olokun eats big, strong ducks.
