What Ifá says in this sign

Otrupon She — also called Otrupón Oshe — is the sign where saving and the money box were born: Orunmila, for being a spendthrift, came to be badly off, and Olofin handed him the urn with a sentence: do not waste it doing so many favors. The money box at the foot of Orunmila is the work of this odu: putting money away is also a form of prayer.

Your legal front is open: this is an Ifá of complaints, lawsuits, debt collection and matters of law — and of documents with a trap in them: check and reread everything you receive or sign. And one prohibition at the root: the revenge you want to repeat — the thing you already did some time ago — will go badly for you now: do not do it. The knife or machete you have put away is asking for a rogation, not for use.

«Olofin handed Orunmila the money box with one order: do not waste it doing so many favors — Otrupon She saves or ruins himself.»The pulse of Otrupon She

The belly speaks loudly here: pains, a fever from inside that can be typhoid, the feeling of being pregnant — and when you are ill in your belly, never say so: in this odu a complaint spoken aloud gets worse. No tripe for you or your husband, never throw curses, and do not force your child, so he is not lost to you.

Behind you there is a shadow and your road is dark — but the shadow has a name: it was your mother, who came to save you in a dream and wants her mass. An egun sent you to be read: attend as well to the secret your mother left in the care of an older person, and repair the wrongs you have done to your elders.

You are fortunate — be careful your luck is not stolen from you: money is circling you, but there are bad things to be taken off you first. The remedy is already served: receive Orunmila, give food to Elegba, to Oshún and to Orunmila, and food for the street outside your house, because that is where you fall behind: Olofin's urn keeps whoever learned that not every favor is done and not every coin is spent.

The sign in one line

Set your money box at the foot of Orunmila, reread what you sign and have the mass said for your mother — the shadow behind Otrupon She came to save him, not to lose him.

Patakíes of Otrupon She · The roads of the Odù

1Ifá ni kaferefun Ololodí

Shangó had been unsettled for a long time, and he went to Oyá, who lived confused among the spirits. When he arrived, Shangó sang, and the egun fled; at that moment Oyá felt herself cleansed. Shangó turned his back and with a guinea hen made her an oparaldo, giving it to Ogún, who ran off. Oyá, seeing how Shangó behaved, fell in love with him, and from their union she became pregnant; Shangó told her the child was a boy and would be called Omí Lala. Oyá kept asking whether, when he was born, Shangó would bless him by teaching him his secrets. When he was born, Shangó bathed him with cedar, amansa-guapo and para-mí leaves; Olofin, who was listening, told him: «All is well, but keep an eye on his mother.» As Omí Lala grew, Shangó taught and blessed him, making a false exit at noon; Oyá fed the boy on malvate, and Shangó, from his hiding place, saw everything Oyá asked him. One day Olofin sent for him for a lunch with Ogún to speak of secrets; Oyá, taking advantage of his absence, seized Shangó's secrets. On his return he found the boy ill, and that brought about the separation between Shangó and Oyá. With the ebbó odara, the boy was cured.

Shangó had been unsettled for a long time, and he went to where Oyá was, who lived confused among the spirits. When Shangó arrived, he began to sing: «Otrupon She ofun oun lele egun oloni.» The egun fled; at that moment Oyá felt herself cleansed. Shangó turned his back, and with a small guinea hen he was carrying he made her an oparaldo, and gave it to Ogún, who was there, and Ogún ran off.

Oyá, seeing how Shangó behaved, fell in love with him, and from their union she became pregnant; and Shangó told her that this child was a boy, and that he would be called Omí Lala.

Oyá was always asking Shangó whether, when her son was born, he would bless him by teaching him all his secrets. When her son was born, Shangó gave him a bath with cedar, amansa-guapo and para-mí leaves, and sang to him: «Lerí Shangó ewe ibashe Olofin.» Olofin, who was listening, said: «All is well, but you should keep an eye on his mother.» And Shangó said: «Very well, father, I know what I have to do.»

It happened that, as Omí Lala grew, Shangó taught and blessed him, and every day, after speaking with his son, he made a false exit at noon. Oyá fed her son on a dish made from malvate; and Shangó, from his hiding place, saw everything Oyá asked her son.

One day Shangó had to be away from his house for a while, since Olofin sent for him so that, together with Ogún, he could enjoy a lunch and they could take the chance to speak of certain secrets. And Oyá, taking advantage of his absence, seized Shangó's secrets; and when he came back, he found his son ill, and this brought about the separation between Shangó and Oyá.

«Otrupon She obana dide Awó oko obatinfa obatinfa oshodo adifafun Orunmila ebbó odara.» And his son was cured.

Note: Ifá says you have to see what the mother's egun wants; and if she is alive, you have to make obori so her angel favors you and saves you. A fever is coming on you from inside and it can be typhoid; you have a rash, and be careful your house is not broken up and you have nothing to set it up again. Take malvate.

2The lands of Lesa and Mogue

In the lands of Lesa and Mogue there were bitter quarrels: the land of Lesa grew vegetables, which produced a germ that, when the wind blew, spread to the land of Mogue, tainted the water and caused illness of the stomach and the legs. The bickering was such that war was about to break out. One man from Lesa decided to go and see Orunmila, who told him it was not possible to live in that struggle, because neither side was in the right; he sent for a representative from Mogue and told them they were mistaken, since there were no powders and no witchcraft and nothing sent against them — the illness was caused by a germ in the vegetables. He ordered the vegetables cleared, and all the trouble ended, and the towns of Lesa and Mogue had peace and quiet.

The bickering it caused was such that war was already about to break out. One man from the land of Lesa decided to go and see Orunmila, and he told him it was not possible to live in that inner struggle, because neither of the two sides was in the right; and he sent for a representative from the land of Mogue, and then told them that they were mistaken, since there were no powders and no witchcraft and nothing sent against them, and that the illness was caused by a germ that the vegetables carried. And he ordered the vegetables cleared, and said that all these troubles would end, and that the towns of Lesa and Mogue would have peace and quiet.

3Here the money box was born

Orunmila, being a spendthrift and doing favors, came to be very badly off for money. Olofin, to help him, sent for him, and for all the other santos and orishas, to hold a rite in honor of Oloddumare. There were many people in the hall, and it began to pour with rain; since there was no food, the santos grew hungry and cold, and wanting to go home, they begged Olofin to stop the rain. Olofin told them: «For this downpour to end, all of you have to put alms into that urn and pray to Oloddumare.» When the urn was full of money, the rain stopped, and each santo went home. When Olofin was left alone with Orunmila, he took the urn full of money and handed it to him, so he would have something to live on, and told him: «Do not waste it doing so many favors.»

Olofin told them: «For this downpour to end, all of you have to put alms into that urn and pray to Oloddumare.»

When the urn was full of money, the rain stopped, and each santo and orisha went back to their own home.

When Olofin was left alone with Orunmila, he took the urn full of money and handed it to him, so he would have something to live on, and told him: «Do not waste it doing so many favors.»
