1The earth that does not die
Okonron eka sa kasa kasa, the earth's Babalawo, read for it when Death was laying it waste: a hoe, a machete, a bow, bronze, iron and an old ewe. It made the sacrifice — which explains why the earth never falls ill and never dies. Make sacrifice for a long life and to live into old age.

It made the sacrifice — which explains why the earth never falls ill or dies. In an ordinary reading: make sacrifice for a long life and to be able to live into old age.
2The mushrooms on the farm
Okonron awuka, the mushrooms' Babalawo, read for all the mushrooms on the farm: a white pigeon and white bean pudding for a brilliant life, and a goat for a happy ending. They made the first and not the second. They sprouted beautiful — and Eshu alerted humans to how nutritious they were: they cut them and they died at once; the ones that escaped lived only a couple of days once they were out in the sun. That is why mushrooms do not live more than 48 hours. Make both sacrifices, without delay: you can lose your prosperity overnight.
He made the reading for all the mushrooms on the farm. They were told they had to make sacrifice for a brilliant life and a happy ending: a white pigeon and white bean pudding (moin moin) for the brilliant life, and a goat with the other ingredients for the happy ending. They made the first sacrifice, but not the second.
When the mushrooms began to sprout on the farm, they were very attractive and looked very fine. Eshu immediately alerted human beings to how nutritious they were, and they cut them, and they died at once. The ones that escaped instant death only lived a couple of days, as soon as they were out in the sun's rays. That is why mushrooms do not live more than 48 hours. In an ordinary reading: make sacrifice for a prosperous life and a happy ending — without much delay, because you can lose your prosperity overnight. You should make both of the sacrifices marked for the mushrooms.
3The sun's broom
Okonron ribiti, the sun's Awó, read for it: a white rooster, a white pigeon, white cloth and a broom. It sacrificed, and was given the broom to keep: if anyone dared stare it in the face, it was to spread the broom of rays and dazzle their eyes. That is why it is impossible to look the sun in the face. Sacrifice to earn the respect of the people around you.
He made the reading for the sun, and warned it to make sacrifice with a white rooster, a white pigeon, white cloth and a broom. It made the sacrifice. Afterwards, it was given the broom to keep, and warned that if anyone dared to stare it in the face, it was to spread the broom (the rays) and dazzle that person's eyes. That is why it is impossible to look the sun in the face.
In an ordinary reading: make sacrifice to earn the respect of the people around you. If the person is a woman, she should be gentler with her husband. You have a hole in the roof where you see the daylight come through: cover it, because the Elders of the Night watch everything you do while you sleep.
