Ifá says — what Okana Fun tells you

• For the man: a woman, whether attractive or not, will cross his path, and that meeting foretells fortune. Let him marry her: she is the key that opens the treasures of his prosperity.
• For a woman: she will travel to a certain place, where she will meet the man who will give her happiness and whom she will marry.
• Make a sacrifice to be able to have children: the hen of the rabbits, the hares, and the pigs.
• Make a sacrifice to become honorable and respected, like Orisa Nla.
• Hold a feast and invite your neighbors, so that neither you nor your family suffer unexpected events; it is the pact of the monkey with the trees.
• Your destiny is to become rich through another person's wealth, but ask Ifá before touching what you find.
• Serve the deity of the town where you live and receive Orò with a dog.
• About the three garments of the day: white in the morning, to ask God; red in the afternoon, to ask Ogún; black at night, so that the Guardian Angel prevents enemies from killing you in the dark.
• About the wife who conspired with her lover to steal his jewels and kill him: the woman of this sign can be your death, so the ebbó is done without delay.
• About the one who found the jewels and did not touch them until he asked Ifá: that is how he became rich and paid his debt to heaven.
• About the corpse that ate and drank until drunk at Death's party: for the one who has prohibitions, a party can make him break them.
• About borrowing for the ebbó and paying back when you prosper: the Guardian Angel allows it in this sign.

What is born in Okana Fun · Ìbí

• That fortune settles where she finds her food.

  Onigede scattered the feathers of the doves, mixed with ground yam, around his palace, and the daughter of Aje settled there with all the wealth she had brought from heaven.

• That monkeys live in the high branches.

  From the pact that his ancestral mother made with the trees at the beginning of time: no branch that the monkey grabs can break. Only the iyere tree did not attend the feast, and that is why the monkey never goes near it.

• That a corpse decays.

  He refused the sacrifice of the dry materials and the goat for Eshu; drunk at Death's party, they poured on him the water that was forbidden to him, and after three days he began to rot and stink.

• The muttering of the rabbits and the hares.

  They offered the hen in order to have children, and to this day they whisper the plea of Okonron Fun Fun Fun.

• Calling on Orò from heaven.

  He left his followers the knife of the curfew for calling on him, when he went back to heaven.

What is forbidden · Eewó

The full eewó of this Odù, open to everyone — with the road each ban came out of.

• Do not touch what you find without asking Ifá.

  The jewels could have been stolen: the goat for Eshu protected him, and his wife, who ran for them, died in the dispute.

• Do not mention your findings or your secrets to your partner without having Ifá look at it first.

  He mentioned it to his wife in passing, and she plotted to kill him.

• Do not break your prohibitions at parties.

  They poured on the drunken corpse the water that was forbidden to him, and he rotted.

• Do not throw the missile that Ifá ordered you to hold back.

  Orò threw it and got lost in the forest forever.
