What Ifá says in this sign

Otrupon Tura, also known as Otrupon Tauro and Otrupón Otura, is the sign where the pains of childbirth were born, along with the candles lit on both sides in the Igbodu and the awó's power to consult and work at night. Here luck, illness and death went out walking together, and its ruling is one of quick turns: you can become rich in a single day, and through disobedience become poor again in another. Good and bad circle around you and fight without either one winning; ebbó is what tips the balance toward the good.

This sign teaches that words call what they name. Here four people complained about their lives, and each one was approached by what they had invoked: illness, losses, misfortunes and even Ikú. So do not curse, do not renounce your luck and do not fight with anyone, because a curse turns against the one who casts it. If you ever think it would be better to die, do not stay with that thought or stay alone: talk about it with someone you trust, seek help from a doctor or a professional, and go to Orunmila to attend to the Orishas. That is how the bad turned into good here.

«The three lucks walk together with illness and death. The ebbó of Otrupon Tauro decides who touches first.»The pulse of Otrupon Tura

In money, a sum comes to you that arrives hot. Do not hide it and first fulfill what Ifá marks for you, because the man who believed himself too lucky to make his offering carried a sack of coins and died under its weight without enjoying it. Do not be stingy with what the saints ask of you or with the religion: whoever denies the little loses the much that was set aside for them. Feed whoever comes to your house and also at the door; whoever gives shelter to someone lost receives a high post. Do not move, keep a light burning and sleep with it, because Baba wants to visit you in dreams to tell you something.

In health, the sign points to ailments of the heart, the nerves and the head, and hernias. You may be very sick and believe you will not pull through, but you will heal, and thanks to that illness you will come to know the world; without it you would already have gone to prison for something the law uncovered. If you plan to travel to the countryside, know that death is following you. Do not tell anyone an important secret, however close the friendship, because it harms you.

In love, the woman of this sign suffers the pains of childbirth, and whoever mistreats and deceives his wife receives Oshún's punishment. If you let go of pride and truly come to know the person you were fighting with, the love and the children that were missing can arrive. No joy is complete and no sorrow is eternal in your life: obey Ifá, do not curse and share what you have, so that the luck that arrives in one day stays with you.

The sign in one line

Do not curse, do not hide your money, and give a roof and food to whoever arrives, because the lucks of Otrupon Tauro go where they hear their name pronounced cleanly.

Patakíes of Otrupon Tura · The roads of the Odù

1The goat that saved Orunmila's son

Ikú meant to take Orunmila's son. The Ifá that came out said to make ebbó with a goat. When death was asked what it wanted, it answered that its need was to be fed. Orunmila carried out the ebbó and death let the boy go.

What it teaches

When death comes looking for someone, giving it what it needs through the ebbó that Ifá marks is enough for it to withdraw. What is solved by an offering made in time is not solved by arguing.

Ebbó of Orunmila's son

A goat, to feed death.

2The king's sons lost in the wilds

A king had three sons who got lost together in the wilds. They walked a long time and at last found an old man who owned a hut. They begged him to take them in, and he served them all he had at hand.

Once out of danger, the young men explained to him how they had gotten lost and told him their father was a king. That old man was Orunmila. They thanked him on behalf of their father and set out again.

As they parted, the old man showed them the road to the city. When they arrived, the three went straight to their father and told him what had happened. Full of gratitude, the king sent many horsemen to look for the old man and named him Awó of the city.

What it teaches

Giving shelter and food to someone who is lost, without knowing who he is, may bring an unexpected reward. Sometimes kindness to a stranger changes the life of the one who shows it.

3The lit lamp

Orunmila wanted to leave that place, but his angel assured him that his luck was right there and asked him to keep a light always burning. Ifá, for his part, asked him for a hen.

Orunmila had only two, and he sustained himself on their eggs. Despite that, he obeyed and gave one.

That night two young men, sons of the king, lost their way in the woods, and the light led them to Orunmila's house. He treated them well: he gave them food and let them sleep until morning. At dawn he accompanied them out of the woods to their home. The young men told the king everything, and he wanted to repay Orunmila and granted him an important position.

What it teaches

Obeying Ifá, even when what is asked is part of the little one has, opens the way to luck. A lit lamp and an open house can save others, and from that comes the reward.

What Ifá asked of Orunmila

To keep a light always burning and to give a hen.
