Ifá says — what Otura Fun tells you

• Illness and death surround the person; there is also justice involved.
• It announces that a brother, a godchild or a close friend will end up in prison.
• Here the flower of the dead speaks; flowers should not be kept inside the house.
• The cat was cursed by Olofin (by Obatalá): through a relative, with cunning and low situations, one can lose one's house and peace.
• The daughters of Oshún must be treated with respect, and spiritism must be avoided.
• Ogún should be strengthened and Kakuanardo received as soon as possible; if it is not yet had, Oyá, Osain and Azojuano should be received, and Agorona built.
• No one can flee from destiny.
• The person is violent and may even kill: he must not carry weapons on his person.
• A favor kills a man: favors enslave to the point of killing.
• The enemy is imperfect (deformed).
• Because of the virtue that the head of a mouse had, illness spread through the world; that is your enemy.
• Dreams are very important and deserve attention. To wake a sleeping person, touch the feet gently, so as not to cause a violent start.
• If she is a married woman: her husband may be taken from her, because she is surrounded by female enemies; three men will court her and she should choose the last one she meets. If she is a young unmarried woman: she fears marriage because of a painful experience in a past courtship, and she needs to be treated with delicacy. If she is pregnant: she must make an ebbó, because there are enemies who do not want that child to be born.
• If he is a man: he has quarreled with his wife and wants to find another who is better.
• The woman will receive an inheritance or a pension from the man she is with.
• When the Awó marks this Odù, he must smear corojo butter and water on the roof of his mouth, as must the person consulted, because illness surrounds them. In an ordinary reading with the ekuele, the money is placed on the ekuele and smeared with corojo butter, so that he can continue casting it.
• When it comes out in the Igbodu (Untefá), the first thing is to wash both hands of Ifá with omiero. After the atefar is finished, the godfather, the Oyugbona, the Obá and the Alawó make a rogación with a jutía that is then roasted and hung inside the house: as it falls apart, the illness that this Odù brings upon those responsible for the consecration goes away.
• Whatever form it takes, an ebbó must be made so that good fortune arrives. Two guinea peppers, two ekrú, two pigeons and two bottles of aguardiente are needed; everything is ground and with that mixture the head is prayed over. The good is assured.
• To receive Olofin, the Awó goes through a ceremony with 101 jio jio; and his godfather needs a great deal of knowledge to be in a position to hand him Igba Odù (Olofin). If it comes out in Untefá, another Folofin is quickly made in which Olofin is not placed, and there the Alawó is passed, who cannot sleep under the light of Olofin.
• A person who has already received Santo or Ifá cannot be consecrated in the Abakuá. Even if he swore in earlier, taking a plaza is dangerous, because the ceremony must be performed on the head.
• That this Odù is the carpenter of Olofin, who passed his secrets to him.
• The iyefá must not lack toasted corn, orozuz herb and the espuela de caballero stick.
• That Otura Adakoy must feed the river and take from it the stone with which he will build his Osain.
• Herbs of the Odù: orozuz, cuabico, guarrajo, espuela de caballero and flamboyant.
• Illnesses of the Odù: alcoholism, intestinal problems, problems of the brain and of the genital organs, contagious diseases, nasal secretions, the respiratory system, allergies and extrapyramidal syndromes.
• Of Iyá Yeyekun, the mother of Otura Adakoy, who wanted her son to be brought before the greatest secret of Orún.

Iré and Osogbo

What is born in Otura Fun · Ìbí

• Nasal discharge.

  From the road of Nanú and Oluó Popó, and from Obatalá's weeping when his brain became disordered.

• That every being must fall ill before dying.

  When that death is caused by the wife of death.

• The spread of disease through the world by means of the blood of Ikú.

  Ogún, drunk, cut off Ikú's hand, and everyone who stepped on his blood fell ill.

• The secret of poverty and how it joins with illness.

• The Abakuá and its plazas have their origin here.

  From the legend of Sikameka and the fish Tanse, which bellowed; with its skin the first drum was made.

• The ability to move figures by means of the mirror.

  Otura Adakoy, owner of the quicksilver, made the mirror with the Devil's blood; the enchantment of the glint of the glass was also born.

• That Ogún and Ayaguna use the same machete: the cutlass.

• Paralytic tremors.

  Through the quicksilver: the Devil's blood caused tremors in his hands.

What is forbidden · Eewó

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

• You cannot drink alcohol.

  It is certain that you will suffer a tragedy and legal problems, like Ogún in his drunkenness, who wounded Ikú and spread disease through the world.

• Do not step on blood.

  Everyone who stepped on the blood of Iku got sick.

• Do not do favors beyond measure, and do not take anyone into your house, family or friends, and even less someone wanted by the law.

  Those people drag bad things behind them and you will lose your luck, like the cat that took in the boa.

• It is forbidden to have flowers inside the house.

  It comes from the path of the land Ododo Inlé, where there were only flowers and graves.

• Do not practice spiritism and do not give strength to spiritual matters.

  Otura Adakoy must not abandon Ifa; Oshun destroys Otura Adakoy.

• It is forbidden to go to the market.

• Do not carry weapons on you.

  You are violent and you can even kill.

• Do not commit adultery.

  Whoever avoids adultery sees wealth come into his hands.

• If you are pregnant, do not take anything to stop the birth.

  It will be the cause of your illness.

• Do not scorn young people.
