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.

Lerin was a woman who was always fighting with her husband and with the whole family. Out of her pride and her bad manners came three blowups in the house, because she threw a pair of scissors that ended up stuck in the door. From the fright alone a relative who was sick died, and the money she had saved went on expenses of another kind; that is how her home fell apart.

When she saw herself in that state and noticed that nobody dealt with her because of her bad temper, she looked for Orunmila. He made her osode, this Odù came out, Oggunda Iwori, and he told her to drop the pride and the arrogance, and to make ebbó with two roosters, cascarilla and other ingredients. He also mounted an inshé-Osain for her for the door of the house, whose base was cotton and cascarilla — the rest was decided by Orunmila.

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.

A man had a farm and started to lose animals without knowing who was stealing them. He stood guard at night and managed to see the thieves: one time he found the tracks of a tiger and those of a lion. To finish off the beasts he got two arrows.

The next night he climbed a tree on the farm, and when the beasts came in he let an arrow go, which hit the lion in the chest; the lion dropped dead right there. The tiger, on the other hand, jumped on the man just as he was coming down from the tree: it landed on him hard and the two of them locked in a fight. Neither of the two came out of that fight alive, because the man defended himself with the other arrow — he did not get to shoot it at the tiger and he stabbed it into him —, but he ended up torn apart and bled out, and the two bodies stayed there. Maferefún Oshosi.

3Ogún's weariness

The problems of his house —made of palm thatch— and everything that was happening to him had Ogún fed up. One day he went out and, when he came back, out of patience already, he wiped out everything there was: the woman, the children and the rest of the family. It is the biggest warning of the sign: where there is fighting every day, one day Ogún walks in.

Ogún was fed up with the problems of his house and everything that was happening to him. That house was made of palm thatch.

One day he went out; when he came back, worn out already by all of it, he wiped out everything there was: the woman, the children and the rest of the family. That is where the warning of this Ifá comes from: if in your house there is someone who lives fighting, tell them to stop, because any day Ogún walks in there.
