Itadogun 10/1/2012
This Itadogun, Ifa warns us against earthly enemies and their evil plans. Ifa says that our things will be well and that we will overcome them, but we must make sacrifice. The enemies want to see us suffer, maybe even die, but Ifa says that Esu will protect us and even bring the intended harm to our enemies instead of to us.
On this Ifa says:
Atekathe priest of Okra
Casts divination for Okra crying because of children
He was asked to perform sacrifice such that he would bear children
Atekathe priest of Garden egg
Casts divination for Garden egg
The Garden egg was crying because he has no child
He was asked to take care of the ground and perform sacrifice for children
Atekathe priest of Spinners
Casts divination for the Spinners
He was crying because of children
They told him he would have so many children
But should perform the sacrifice for children
The three of then heard about the sacrifice
They performed it
But they were warned to also perform sacrifice for
earthly enemies
Because of the children they would have
‘You all should observe the sacrifice before the arrival of the children’ the Bala;wo said
‘Once I have babies’
‘Every other thing is trivial’ Okra said
There is no problem, the priest said
The Okra started to have children
But
The whole world was filled
But when the children of the Garden egg grows to maturity
They would cut him into two halves also with a knife
Man would boil it with melon seeds
And cook it in soup
They would eat them
But the Spinners alone observed the sacrifice
And till tomorrow
No one dares cook the Spinners for food
He is the only one that sacrificed eight hundred
needles
Esu then fixed some of the needles on his body
If anyone attempts to touch him or his children
It would pinch their hands
The Spinners then started to dance and rejoice
He was praising his Babaláwo
His Babaláwo was praising Ifá
They said it was as their Babaláwo had said
Atekathe priest of Okra casts divination for Okra He was asked to perform sacrifice such that he would bear children
He offered sacrifice and he started bearing children
But he was asked to sacrifice against earthly enemies
He heard about the sacrifice yet did not perform it
Ateka priest of Garden eggs casts divination for
Garden eggs
Garden eggs also crying because of barrenness
He was asked to take care of the ground and perform sacrifice for children
He performed the sacrifice and started having children
He was afterwards asked to sacrifice against enemies
He refused and did not perform the sacrifice of earthly enemies
Ateka the priest of Spinners casts divination for the Spinners
He sacrificed for the child bearing and for earthly enemies
Who is at the back observing all the sacrifices?
The Spinners
Is the one at the back and observing sacrifices
The Spinners
Ifa recommends the sacrifice of many, many needles and opolopo epo pupa (a lot of red palm oil) be made to Esu Odara to ensure that our things will be good and that our enemies’ evil plans are not able to come to fruition.
