What Ifá says in this sign

Oggunda Kuaneye is Ogún's machete destroying the lord of witchcraft: here the strength of the blood was born, and surgery — Ogún's belly was cut open with a machete — and trade with its profit. Its hope belongs in a garden: the pruned tree grows back — what they cut from you today grows back stronger tomorrow.

The street has its golden rule: if there is a fight on the corner, do not stop — keep walking: the onlooker in this odu ends up dead or in jail. No brawls, no crowds; and with the law over you, two fresh fish for your head and ebbó — so you neither kill nor are killed.

«The pruned tree grows back — what they cut from Oggunda Kuaneye today grows back double tomorrow.»The pulse of Oggunda Kuaneye

Your image is protected by decree: do not give photos of yourself to anyone — with a photo and your shadow they work on you: in this odu the prohibition is ritual. And the house asks for peace: there is one who is always fighting (tell them to stop, or Ogún will come in), an old man with good advice who is ignored — listen to him — and rubbish thrown at the door: clean it.

In love, the uncomfortable mirror: the husband speaks well of his wife but cannot stand her — or takes her for a witch; and the woman is looked down on and wanted by force. None of that prospers: either you love with respect or you let go in peace. Watch for tumors and cysts — the operations in this odu repeat themselves if you do not do the work — and the woman, her breasts checked.

Trade is your blessing: it was Ogún who brought prosperity to business — success and profit for whoever sacrifices. Settle your accounts with Yemayá and Ogún, do the feather cleaning you owe, do not live off anyone (let them live off you), and be wary of the false prophet handing out free parties: Elegba in disguise collects on the third day — what is free in this odu always sends a bill

The sign in one line

Do not stop at someone else's fight, do not give away your photos and pay Ogún and Yemayá — the trade of Kuaneye prospers, and what is pruned grows back.

Patakíes of Oggunda Kuaneye · The roads of the Odù

1Lerin, the woman with the scissors

Lerin was always fighting with her husband and her whole family: through her arrogance her house fell apart three times over — she threw a pair of scissors that stuck in the door, and a sick relative died of the fright; the money she had saved went on expenses, and the home fell apart. Seeing what a bad way she was in, and that nobody would deal with her because of how she behaved, she went to Orunmila: Oggunda Iwori — she was not to be proud or arrogant, ebbó with two roosters and cascarilla, and the inshé-Osain for her front door, with cotton and cascarilla as the main part.

There was a woman called Lerin who was always fighting with her husband and with her whole family; through her arrogance and bad behavior her house fell apart three times over, because she threw a pair of scissors that stuck in the front door of the house. Then, from the fright itself, a relative who was ill died, and the money the woman had put away she had to spend on other things, and that was how the home fell apart.

Seeing what a bad way she was in, and that nobody would deal with her because of how she behaved, the woman went to Orunmila's house; he made osode for her and saw this Odù, Oggunda Iwori, and told her not to be proud or arrogant, and that she had to make ebbó with two roosters, cascarilla and other ingredients. He also made her an inshé-Osain for her front door: the main part was cotton and cascarilla — the rest Orunmila decided.

2The farmer with the two arrows

A man kept losing animals from his farm: he kept watch and found a tiger's and a lion's tracks. He armed himself with two arrows and waited at night up a tree: he shot the first and killed the lion in the chest — but the tiger charged as he was climbing down, fell on him, and man and beast fought: both died, because he could not shoot the second arrow — he fought with it and drove it in, but he was left torn apart and bled out. Maferefún Oshosi: do not go out to hunt two beasts with only two arrows.

On this road there was a man who had a farm, and animals began to go missing, and he did not know who the thief was. So the man kept watch and was able to work out who the thieves were: at one point he saw a tiger's tracks and a lion's. The man armed himself with two arrows to kill the beasts.

The next night he climbed a tree on the farm, and when the beasts came in, he shot one of the arrows and hit the lion in the chest: the lion died at once. But the tiger charged at the man, who at that moment was climbing down from the tree; it threw itself on him and fell on top of him, and man and beast began to fight. In the fight they both died: because with the other arrow the man fought — he could not shoot it at the tiger and drove it in instead — but he was left torn apart and bled out, and the two bodies were left lifeless. Maferefún Oshosi.

3Ogún's weariness

Ogún was worn out with the trouble at his house — which was made of palm thatch — and with the things that kept happening to him. One day he went out, and when he came back, worn out with all of it, he made an end of everything: his wife, his children and the rest of the family. It is the greatest warning of this sign: in the house where there is always fighting, one day Ogún comes in.

On this road, Ogún was worn out with the trouble at his house and with the things that kept happening to him. That house was made of palm thatch.

It happened that one day he went out, and when he came back, worn out with all of it, he made an end of everything: his wife, his children and the rest of the family. That is why this Ifá says: there is one in your house who is always fighting — tell them not to go on, because one day Ogún will come in there.
