Otunrunpon Ogbe This is one of the basic minor in the category of Odu and one of the most important vibration in the cosmos because , it forms part of ADABOS. The vibration actually stalk and stop the power of Ajogun -Orun ( the punitive knight of heavenly doom) at IRONA ( IRONA is the boundary between the physical states of existence and the heavenly realm ), so that rituals , sacrifice and propitiation can scale through to the heaven above since it is the force that aid spiritual step to reach the place of acceptance and bring back all the necessary spiritual benefits to the doer of the sacrifice and reinforces the power of babalawo( IFA priest) that performed the said sacrifices to equally gain fortune , hence it is absolutely important and one of the greatest minor odu in the categories of energies in the cosmos. Otunrunpon ogbe also delivers the message of sacrifice to the right spiritual door of OLODUMARE and his numerous divinities and to the place of acceptance in the heaven . During the cause of head propitiation , the priest in question will take one or two articles among the various articles of the sacrifice with the money and touch the head or the forehead of the client or the ''OMO -AWO'' who want or intend to do the rituals and continue chanting one of the verse of otunrunpon Ogbe , according to IFA verse one under otunrunpon ogbe ese ifa kini , labe otunrunpon ogbe ifa jebo naa o fin ela jebo naa o rode orun gbure gbure otunrunpon pongba otunrunpon pogbe awodi o lapa o fese jale a difa fun igbimo awo oluawo lojo ti won joko po bori fun Awotolu ti nse omo bibi agbonniregun ko sai fin lebo ooo ohun ti ajopo awo ba fowo ba ko sai fin lebo awo ni gbe awo nigbowo ti awo ko ba gbe awo nigbowo

this divine ifa oracle for the group of IFA priests the day they all sat down to offer sacrifice of propitiation for Awotolu the precious child of orunmila bara Agbonniregun it would definitely be accepted as sacrifice whatever a group of IFA priests touched and blessed it shall be manifested and accomplished in the physical states of existence a group is stronger than a unit - this means there is power in the crowd and there is security amongst the group of people or beings when a group is scattered a secret is revealed , a secret is exposed and a secret is made opened to the foolish Orunmila , the great misfortune changer , never let the protector of the secret scattered . never allow your group to be led astray and never allow your people to be wayward the foolish never want to know the way of the wise to manifest and to be accepted is the foundation of Alakose the power of manifestation was given to the day while the energy of doing was given to the sun whenever a earth worm gives obeisance to the land the mother -earth opens up for the worm to hide whenever a child gives obeisance to his father , he works effectively and determined to succeed these are the group of priest that give you your obeisance let this ritual be accepted let the sacrifice goes to the heaven above let the propitiation dwell in the heaven and reach the place of acceptance without hindrance let otunrunpon -ogbe take the sacrifice to the place of acceptance and bring back success , progress ,wealth and other super-natural blessing from heaven above ase

However otunrunpon ogbe can be taken to mean the act of carrying fortune , success , blessing and progress with one’s destiny when leaving the abode of spirit or heavenly realm and sacrifice , rituals and propitiation will ensure its earthly manifestation . IFA speaks of the act of living , loving , learning , and leaving a good life with the support of divinities and with the help of OLO- ODU- MARE . IFA says such sacrifice , should be carried out by a group of babalawo to ensure heavenly pour of spiritual energy on the person offering such sacrifice. However oturunpon -ogbe speaks of calming down to release the positive vibration of success , fortune , and wealth . IFA says , after necessary spiritual steps , one should not allow earthly conspiracy and gossip of the people around keep you away from your earthily destiny, never allow gossip to force you away from the path of success, and fortune . A distraction of higher proportion is associated with people of otunrunpon ogbe . but they should know that those who are marked for victory , fortune and success with the right spiritual orientation and background will witness favor from Almighty OLODUMARE . The children of otunrunpon ogbe has been favored from heaven since the vibration of ADABOS play a significant role in their lives, they should always propitiate their head to attract the heavenly blessing , according to the IFA verse two under otunrunpon -ogbe ese -ifa ori keji labe otunrunpon-ogbe ifa jebo naa o fin ela jebo naa o rode orun gbure gbure otunrunpon pongba otunrunpon pongbe awodi o lapa a fese jale a difa fun Oluomo ti se omo bibi Ajilaje a te fun okin ti se oba eye loko lojo ti awon mejeeji nti nsalu orun bo wa si isalu aye won ni ki won run ebo fun ori ki ori le ta ire owo , ire omo , ire aiku bale oro

the odu detests and speaks of immoral sexual acts that lead to unwanted pregnancy , it also speaks of immoral behavior between a married woman and a bachelor . IFA says any act of immoralities must be contested and rebuffed so that we will not give away our lives to be attacked and controlled by Ajogun Orun ( punitive knight of heavenly doom) , eleyes ( the witches), elenini( the destroyer) , and omo araiye ( the evil men of the world) according to IFA oracle verse three under otunrunpon ogbe ese IFA oriketa labe odu Otunrunpon ogbo ifa jebo naa o fin ela jebo naa o de ode orun gbure gbure otunrunpon mu ogbe ogbe wa mu iwa a difa fun ako aja abeti gbengbe ti rin irin are kiri aye lojude oba alade won ni ako aja ile aye ti o nlo yi nko nje o le gbayi ki o gbare bo naa won ni ki ako aja o rubo ki o se ifa

the male dog becomes a being that serve female and all human alike in the physical state of existence the male dog bring all his wives and children to serve human being in the physical state of existence all the family of male dogs serve human and they all loss in the race of evolution and success and eternal crown of glory from divine realm male dog will rather die at the house of his master just for a pound of food because of his immoralities in the beginning of creation immoralities brought dog to the state of hopelessness and total dependence IFA says the male dog is purely a vagabond never allow the curse of male dog to become your lot in life , oh ! IFA ORUNMILA let us acquire necessary knowledge to be discipline to carry out all my responsibilities and be discipline let me able to do the work assigned to me by my creator let my destiny attract blessing of fortune and success, fame and greatness like that of ORISA-NLA the ancient of days ase

Otunrunpon –Ogbe speaks of an intelligent way to discover evil act and a spiritual way to detect the act of immoralities. IFA says , most societies are built on the immoral values. Most men and women act as if moral justification are no longer part of the spiritual step and discipline . Whoever engage in any immoral act has mortgaged both the earthly blessing and heavenly fortune . A sound moral state is the foundation of sound spiritual step to create better opportunities in the present and greater benefit for the future of un-born children and their respective destiny . IFA says all men must learn a greater lesson from Obatala, and lives a life of Obatala , love like Obatala , and leaving a legacy of Obatala to make a world a better place to cohabituate . IFA says , Obatala is the greatest moral educator and teacher of higher moral pedigree . Obatala in his majestic and glorious manner married , uphold the attitude of moralities to the extent that his earthly journey produce a sound example of what a decent and a spiritual fulfilled man must do to fulfill his own earthly and heavenly destiny. Obatala married to one woman and his earthly used of white cloth signifies purity , faithfulness , uprightness, and highest morality . When a man symbolically put on a white cloth , it means , there is no hiding place for

him to perform and perfect any evil act , because he is exposed by whiteness and purity that go beyond the darkness of life , hence whoever puts on the white cloth as a symbolic and enigmatic nature of OBATALA should not walk on the path of uncleanliness and darkness so as not to be stained and be confused as a man of absolute immoral . Immoralities are stain in the life of every discipline and sane man who want to become a vivid disciple of OLODUMARE and devotee of IFA . Immoralities are stain in the physical sense of living , and a dent in the spiritual state , it is an evil mark on the life of divine and spiritual scholars , priests , teacher and student of knowledge . flee from all form of immoralities and immoralities shall flee from you , never think of immoralities so that your live will witness abundant flow of positive power and spiritual vibration will pour on your destiny like bees attract the honey According to IFA verse four under otunrunpon ogbe Ese ifa labe odu otunrunpon ogbe

Translation of verse four under otunrunpon ogbe Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted Ela let my ritual goes to the heaven above Otunrun backed the blessing (ogbe) , otunrun gives support to ogbe Ogbe reciprocate on the same level This divine ifa oracle for Obatala the ancient of days The sole representative of OLODUMARE on a matter related to purity , uprightness and moral justice He was asked that the world you were about to go

You should not hesitate to offer sacrifice for good character and sound moral values A ritual of moralities to prevail over temptation and sexual immoral Obatala , the ancient of days quickly performed the sacrifice before leaving the heaven above Obatala did not reject the advice of IFA , he performed the sacrifice before leaving the heaven above and did all the ritual as directed by IFA On getting to the earth plain Many women wanted to marry Obatala Obatala remembered the counsel of OLODUMARE That whoever want to be his representative and his true devotion , must be morally balanced , mentally sound and physically strong with strong emotional stability Obatala took another step and went to the house of Orunmila to know the right woman for his mission on earth to be fulfilled . Ifa says whoever marries a right and good woman keep his soul , Whoever choose a good wife choose a better future and a solid life after death Obatala did not reject the counsel of ifa He chose Yemowo as partner and wife in his earthly journey The life of Obatala become an enviable life The life of obatala become a life to be emulated Ifa says , can we have a dozen of wives or four hundred wives and keep or live up to moral values It is impossible! Obatala had the chance and the opportunity to marry dozen of wives but hooked to Yemowo Ifa, let me be attracted to a good wife and good partner in my life till the old age Who does not know that good woman produce good children Just as good tree produces good fruits Ifa, let me be attracted to good wife in my life time Ifa let me be blessed with good children that will be of great benefit to the world at large after I passed on to the land of ancestors

I have been morally vindicated so that , I will not be put into disgrace Tete never attract shame among vegetables , IFA never allow your chosen one to be put into shame and disgrace in my life time Parei Aqui

Otunrunpon ogbe speaks of sanctity of life , preservation of life and prayer against natural abortion or spontaneous abortion . IFA says whoever touches life or destroy life , knowingly or unknowingly touches divinities and whoever kills life , touches the foundation of the universe . To keep a life , is to keep the sanctity of the glory of GOD. To also keep the sanctity of life is to keep the rules of divinities and the obligation of OLODUMARE as an infinite whole that transform himself into different parts of life to connect the whole at the end , The parts are individual life and the whole is the infinite energy called OLODUMARE . Life according to this odu is so precious and every soul is a deity in formation and reality . No man should act openly or secretly to destroy life because the author of life is OLODUMARE , he will do whatever He deems fit to each life when passing through earth plain or when a soul is at ethereal level or spiritual level of unseen Ifa speaks against spontaneous or natural abortion , and also speaks against induced abortion as a sign of attack from the punitive knight of heavenly doom and also a sign of mental weakness result from mental imbalance and emotional disequilibrium and moral dignity . IFA speaks of negative attack of iyaami osoronga apani ma wa gun olokiki orun , to deal with whomever induced an abortion . The basic fact here is that every falling down of a leave from a tree is known to OLODUMARE and every life either developed or un-developed or under developing state is subjected to the author of life to determine their fate and destiny , not for any man to put arbitrary and sudden end to the life , he cannot create or mold. Hence if such life is taking away suddenly or arbitrarily , then contrary spiritual power is at place . IFA says , a ritual to egbe- Orun to preserve sanity ,so that people would not take their lives in the case of suicide attempt or suicide experience we have today. IFA says taking of another man’s life in case of homicide is spiritual crime , that will be impossible to rectify through rituals and sacrifices. Ifa says , suicide and homicide are the work of negative vibration working to disturb the harmony of mind , spirit and the body . If sound spiritual steps are taken, it can lead to generation curse and suicidal steps as a result of undeveloped soul come again into the world to perform evil act of agony and unconditional damage to soul and the spirit in creation . It is an evil mark to soil a good soul and a good family . while abortion , if it is natural , is an attack of egbe orun to take their due and promises from the individual involved in the heaven. When an individual involved has not paid his due before leaving the heaven , on getting to the world , his or her heavenly partner will ask for their dues, which can be paid through his or her life or the lives of either the born or unborn children . Appeal to your spiritual partners , or heavenly group , known as egbe –

orun in form of sacrifices and rituals , and pray incessantly to prevent a situation of losing life or the lives of your children abruptly According to IFA verse five Ese ifa ori kaarun labe Otunrunpon- ogbe Ifa jebo naa o fin Ela jebo naa o rode orun gbure gbure Mode mode ni ti ewe ade Mobo , mobo , ni ti ewe agbon abo A ran ki san ki o wo igi ope Iji ki ja ja ko da omi inu agbon nu A difa fun Omojifon Ti o ni opolopo ifon ati aisan lara Ti iya re wa ngbero ati lo ju sonu Ti baba re gbero lati lo lupa Iya omo jifon ba fi eeji ku eeta O ba to ile alawo lo Ni baba re naa fi eeji o fi ku eeta , lo oun naa Ba gba ile onifa lo Gere ti won de ile alawo Ni babalawo wa wipe Kowe ti o fe ke yi Kowe yi o daa Oturunpon pogbe Oturunpon fe fo igba Ni o yo loju opon Ni ifa ba so fun wipe

Otunrunpon ogbe speaks of problem at home caused by a wicked child and evil spirit within the said child . IFA says attraction of a wicked child with negative influence on the family is caused by a spirit called EMERE or ELERE and also when the parent of the said child fails to take a necessary spiritual precautions and steps to appease to their heavenly partner or what is called EGBE- ORUN . However , people fails to realize that , no one can have an earthly partner without a corresponding partner in the heaven . It is the right time people should know the importance of their heavenly protective partner so as to prevent evil thought , evil manifestation and evil situation within the house. Only the fool and the ignorant does not know that every things and all things are from the ether, that is all things are from the unknown manifesting in the physical state and go back to the unknown. A spirit comes from the un-manifested or spiritual or unknown state of existence and every spirit manifest in the physical state in form of human and other physical entity and when the time comes, they wither away to the unknown , that is the circle of life . they may come back again depending on the degree of evolution as IFA says , or join the spirit of ancestor and deities if he has completed his mission on the physical state of existence . Every soul must go back to where it belongs . ‘’A KI LEGBE LAYE , KA MAA MAA NI EGBE ORUN’’ , meaning ‘’ no one has a partner in the physical state of existence without a corresponding partner in the spiritual realm or heaven above’’. IFA says who does not know that manifestation of physical distortion and lack or any kind of deformities are equivalent to inner disorder or inner turmoil . The inner decides the outer , when the inner state experience a full glamour of peace , harmony and serene condition , then the outer layer follows without any problem. Hence the inner state is the world unseen whereas the

outer part is the physical state of existence , hence inner state is the most important part which concede both the good and the bad , while the outer state is the physical that manifest the glory and the weakness of the inner depending on the wisdom and knowledge accumulated and acquired. Let everyone realizes that every physical problem is a result of neglected spiritual state . Take good care of spiritual state , the physical state will manifest its wellness and goodness without much problem . IFA says those who take good care of their spiritual life with equal step of body , mental and emotional discipline in their physical state of existence experienced perfect harmony , peace , serene within themselves and within their family and if their generation continues at the same frequencies of spiritual comportment and discipline , life would continue to favor them and continue to play the same positive effect on them till eternity , while the society at large will be the benefactor and the whole world will experience a spiritual bliss never witness in human history IFA says , evil spirit of the children called EMERE or ELERE is a result of the evil neglect of higher spiritual standard in the life of the parent to be . Let the parent take a decisive positive spiritual step accompanied by positive mental state with the same level of physical discipline and consciousness , then the evil spirit will neither come to the child nor come around the house of the wise and spiritual man. Even , if the spirit has put up the tent with the child or dwell within the child ,with abundant prayer and spiritual discipline of the parent , the evil spirit will desert the child and the child will begin to see the light and every evil tree within her shall be uprooted like a farm removing weed to give way to the grow of good seed and good plant . here the turning around depend on the parent spiritual prowess . Every imperfection are from within , and when the body is afflicted with a boil , a wise man treated the boil right away from within , when the inner is perfected , the outside will respond to the inner perfection , that is, wellness within mean wellness outside . The odu speaks of wisdom within and perfect wellness within , means wisdom outside the body. Let every intelligent and wise soul enjoy perfect spiritual state within before body can expose the same degree of perfection outside the body . The body enjoys happiness and wellness when the soul is at the peak of maximum happiness ,joy and total bliss. Always pray for inner peace , joy and happiness to have a corresponding level of outside peace According to IFA verse six under otunrunpon ogbe Ese ifa kefa labe odu otunrunpon ogbe Ifa jebo naa o fin Ela jebo naa o rode orun gbure gbure Bibi labi mi Emi naa a bi temi

Translation of verse six under otunrunpon ogbe Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted Ela let my ritual goes to the heaven above Child-bearing is a continuous spiritual process that is eternal Let me have my own share of child bearing No one helps goat to deliver her own child Neither a sheep to deliver her own child ‘’Iyeye’’ is the tree of life and has its branches in twos to teach the lesson of universal duality of life , that all human are evolved first from spiritual realm before their manifestation in the physical state of existence The domestic pigeons by laying their eggs in twos teaches the same lesson of the mystery of life That build on the foundation of two forms , the spiritual form which is more important and the physical which is just the symbolic representation of spiritual realm Build a solid spiritual base and you will see the physical manifestation of it This divine ifa oracle for EMERE , the child of heavenly host And also open ifa divining chain for AJAMERI The child of Orunmila Bara Agbonniregun

THE STORY Orunmila and his wife decided to have children . They decided to consult IFA oracle at the house or temple of one of the re-known IFA priest . IFA priest advised them according to IFA divination that they should try to be patient before going into the business of child-bearing . Every- thing in the universe has its season , and every season has its purpose, only we human , want things to happen at our pace without taken into consideration the spiritual law operating in the universe. IFA says patient is antidote of spiritual blessing and the mother of wisdom .Orunmila agreed but the wife of Orunmila disagreed because of impatient , IFA says , impatience is the foundation of

unchangeable error and the risk of total failure . The wife believed that the time of child bearing for a woman is temporary hence they should have whatever children they intended to have right away or now , so that old age would not set in and become extremely difficult for them to have a child. Indeed , at old age they will not have to take care of any children but enjoy life to the fullest . Orunmila pleaded with his wife to wait for the divine time as instructed by IFA divination so that GOD will bless them with good children through the divinity ajala – the great destiny designer The wife of orunmila did not listen to orunmila but saying they should have children now or never . orunmila agreed with his wife and they started to have children . The first child turn out to be ELERE known to be called EMERE , these children are the soul with wandering characteristics or tendencies in the physical state of existence but unseen to the physical eyes, they attacked and got inside a pregnant woman in the deadly night or during the middays. They are the souls of the children that dies premature and they cannot ascend to heaven because of their time in life has not ripen or due to pass on to their glory or to join the ancestors, The emere are the soul that dropped dead because of certain spiritual circumstance or mystery embedded in life , then those children’s soul cannot reach maturity .They are soul when entered into the pregnant woman and born, give a lot problem to the parent , they are wanderers in the physical state of existence , prostitutes, robbers , drug smoker , they have all immoral behavior and uncommon attitude that separate them from people , and they change not despite all effort to build up their lives in aligned with divine realm. They created and inflicted injuries on the parent and create an atmosphere of sorrow and agony within the family The second child turn out to be worse than the first . The second was called Ajameri , the evil child that come to the world to inflict heavy injuries and pain to both the father and the mother Orunmila summoned courage and sought the house of diviner . IFA priest divined and said , the tree of orange will only produce orange , and the tree of IYEYE which is the tree of life will surely produce abundant life , hence your children are products of heavenly spiritual deficient past of your wife , negative attitude to spiritual advice are causing the major problem of your life. And that your wife did not feed well her heavenly partner that was the major reason her heavenly partner bestowed on her with the two evil soul in form of children to torment her and to call her to action of remembering her promise that include feeding her spiritual partner on getting to the physical state of existence In the first place , marriage is the beginning of challenges and problems , a man must confront . To lead a better life , if well managed by spiritual wisdom , will attract a consequent positive manifestation . In reality , the word IYAWO – which mean wife , is the problem men seek and always look for in the world to find a solution to child bearing . It is the challenge in every life of men to reproduce himself and find solution to bareness .it is challenge to become responsible in life and to increase there- in ,the number of the inhabitant of the world. IFA says , her heavenly partner subjected her to this suffering without knowing . Indeed , IFA

makes it a ‘’must do ‘’ action to have IFA initiation , so that all men will marry ifa , before he will in-turn marries a woman of his destiny that will ensure successful marital life. Initiation into IFA will take and ensure heavenly spiritual fulfillment . IFA advises all men to take their spiritual life very serious before marriage , just like every woman should take care of their spiritual partner or heavenly body very serious to yield good fruits in creation . All earthly man also have spiritual partner and heavenly contact , the two are bounded together with spiritual consciousness and awareness. All marriage rites or marital ceremony must be centered around heavenly partner . This was how Orunmila started to take good care of his heavenly partner and advised the woman to act accordingly , both offer adequate sacrifice to the heavenly partner and both children started to turn a new leave and become a better children . that was how Orunmila started to sing the song of praise to IFA and to the priest and imitate his IFA priest that Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted Ela let my ritual goes to the heaven above Child bearing is an eternal process Let me have my own portion and let me be blessed with good children Goat bear their own children without physical aid and help from other beings or entities likewise , the sheep bear their children without any aid IYEYE is the tree of life that has its branches in twos to teach . the lesson of universal order of duality that no physical life exists without is corresponding spiritual existence in heaven The home-pigeon lay their eggs in twos to denote duality of life in the cosmos . Life begin at spiritual level and later extend to the physical state of existence This divine ifa oracle for Orunmila with his wife When they were crying of not having a child They were advised to offer sacrifice What kind of sacrifice , they should have, sacrifice to their heavenly partner called EGBE ORUN Orunmila performed the sacrifice as directed by IFA but the wife did not They started the trade of child bearing The first child turn out to be ELERE , otherwise known as EMERE , the tormented soul in the spiritual realm . The second child was Ajameri , the disturbing child of heaven that always inflict pain and agony of

the parent when they reach the Earth Orunmila went back to his diviner IFA directed them( both ORUNMILA and his wife ) to offer sacrifice to their heavenly partner So that the world be a pleased place of existence for them And the love of the duo will witness enormous blessing Both Orunmila and his wife offered necessary sacrifice to the egbe And things turn around from evil to good for them The evil child – ELERE(re mi-mi)- turn out to be a good child of luck and fortune- ELERE( re mi-do) The misfortune wandering child-EMERE- turn out to become a blessed and prosperous child of honor , happiness and fortune Ifa attracts to me a good wife with inner – peace With inner peace will I live a peaceful life Inner peace lead to a good child-bearing Let good children take care of our lives at old age After going to the land of our ancestor, let’s us be blessed with good children that will be in charge of those properties and fortune we will be leaving behind Ifa, never allow evil soul and evil children attract to us GOD , let ,me married and attracted to good lady to become my life partner Let me have children that will take care of our old age And children that will take care of our inheritance after we go up to meet our ancestors Ase

The meaning of the above odu is that we should not abandon our child or children during crisis and we should not neglect them to their fate when they are doing or taking a wrong step , we should help them with spiritual power when we notice they are trending on evil path and develop any evil habits . All error can be corrected with spiritual disposition and divine intelligent . Pray and take other decisive spiritual step when you feel or know or believe that the children are not doing the right things. IFA detests abandoning our loved ones, when they are under evil manipulation of ajogun orun , or develop evil character , we can do much to help them through spiritual advice .

Otunrunpon –ogbe speaks of a woman keep watching on her child or children during evil period , It means a woman is struggling to save her child during evil days or period. IFA says , the only human in the world who can speak vividly about a child , who can tell the physical origin of a child is the mother . the mother actually carry the baby on her own womb , for nine months with a little more or little less depending on nature and status of the pregnancy . IFA says through the womb connection , a mother has the most profound influence on the child with a solid link to the child , that is the main reason IFA says , ‘’ORISA BI IYA KO SI , -meaning deity like the mother cannot be found any- where in the physical state of existence , ‘’ OJO TI IYA ENI BA TI KU NI WURA ENI TI WOMI’’ TRANSLATED ‘’ THE DAY THE MOTHER DIES , WE INDEED LOSE BOTH THE MIRROR AND THE REAL GOLD OF LIFE ‘’ , IFA went further that ‘’ IYA LALABARO OMO, IYA O SE PARO, BEE NAA LOMO O SE PARO ‘’ MEANING ‘’ THE MOTHER IS THE GREATEST SUPPORTER AND ADVISER AND COUNSELLOR TO THE CHILD, MOTHER CANNOT BE CHANGED WHILE A CHILD ALSO CANNOT BE CHANGED’’. What OTUNRUNPON OGBE is telling us here is that the mother is the precious physical entity in the life of a child and it has a great influence in ones choosing the right path and the right way to progress . it is on this premise that whenever a sacrifice is to be performed , only the name of the mother is usually the name necessary and important to be mentioned or chanted with the name of the individual in question for the successful performance of the sacrifice . It is the only name needed during divination and other spiritual transmission of unseen and invisible energy by the Priest to the individual in question . Whenever a prayer want to be offered to a man at distance, since the same name or one name can be given to ten or more people , but in the spiritual arena , we differentiate them through the name of the mother , so that the prayer or invisible spiritual energy to be transmitted will go direct to the person in question , like a client or OMO AWO is at a distance , I want to send a great vibration of prayer , or do sacrifice to him , I will says, OGUNSINA OMO OLADUNNI , THAT IS OGUNSINA THE CHILD OF OLADUNNI , meaning , I am praying for OGUNSINA , or offering this sacrifice to OGUNSINA the son of OLADUNNI , which is the name of my mother . Just as good prayer through mother’s name can be done to effect positive change in our lives, likewise evil vibration can be sent to any one , through the using of one’s mother name. Mother position in the life of a child is one of the greatest spiritual attachment in the cosmos , and the linkage is spiritual bound to the womb and the tomb alike . Mother can pray for us using her two breast and the liquid of life we got through her , just like as life flow from the presence of water to effect positive changes in our lives, likewise the liquid or breast milk we drank from the mother strengthen us against all diseases in the world . It is the liquid of life and life formation during adolescent life to adulthood. Mother can use her breast that produce liquid of life to pray for us and to curse us if we do not know how to behave to our mothers . IFA advises us here under otunrunpon –ogbe , to be of good behavior to our mother to reach and achieve our goal , of perfect health , success , progress , and victory . IFA speaks of the prayer –iwure – of the mother , over her own children as the greatest catalyst that penetrate the spiritual domain of the deities and the divine arena of the most highest infinite energy called OLODUMARE . How can one quantify the spiritual frequencies and spiritual influences of the mother in the life of a child . this can be quantified at the rate at which the mother pray for her child , if the mother can pray

daily , or every-time for the child with profound inner state, and focus inner power the child will strongly be well , succeed and prevail in all circumstances of life . It is the foundation of every life in the physical state of existence , every child must learn to speak of his or her mother daily , if the mother is far away , pray for your mother and your prayer will get back to you in a double or triple portion , if the mother is not alive , still remember to pray and your prayer will attract a bigger and large portion of spiritual frequencies and come back to you , according to IFA , ‘’OKO TI A BA SOO FOPE , LOPE SOO MA NI ‘’MEANING , WHATEVER STONE THROWN TO THE PALM TREE , WILL RETURN TO US IN THE SAME PROPORTION’’ . Palm tree is used here as a symbol of strong entity that cannot be bent by the power of wind , thunderstorm , or other powerful hurricane of the world. Your mother represent a palm tree that has a strong spiritual backing in your life , This odu speaks of the power of the palm tree that represent the energy of IFA and the power of OGUN , the warrior to give us the wisdom and the ENERGY to withstand the challenges of lives and the problems associated with spiritual . Do not weary when you are under intense spiritual woos , challenges , problems and difficulties , you have a strong weapon to defeat every contrary spiritual energy , Just as the strongest element in the physical is the weakest in the spiritual ,likewise the weakest in the physical is the strongest is the spiritual , hence woman, most of the time the weakest in the physical state of existence command the strongest spiritual vibration in the cosmos, all men or children should recognize the power of the woman as the foundation of physical life and the receiver of life after its temporary end , that is, what we called from the womb to tomb , that is the physical life starts from the womb and end at the tomb , all entail the feministic process , that call only for female energy in the cosmos. Give obeisance to the mother and to the mother earth and to other female energies in the cosmos , it is a sign of fertilities , productivities, prosperity and life elongation in the physical state of existence . The physical mother is comparable to the mother-earth that serves as support for both seen and unseen creatures in the cosmos , every living and non- living depends on the mother earth to have their share of existence in the universe . Nothing exist in the physical state without the mother –earth. Animal , plants, humans and other unseen and unrecognized phenomenon in the cosmos move freely on the mother – earth , just like a child and his guarding deities live , exist and co-exist with his mother to survive well and to be nourished by the mother for survival and peaceful existence . IFA sees mother as the greatest foundation to build a strong and virile life of success progress , health , wealth and happiness . IF one is wise enough to know this inexplicable mystery of existence every child will be at peace and harmony with his mother . Immediately you read this vibration , try to form a great alliance with your mother for victory and survival, here and here-after. IF the mother is dead , revere her very well at death , speaks of her as if she is living to link the two souls that are connected together both in life and in death. If the mother is alive , never relent to have a good cordial relationship with her so as to ease the wheel of success , spiritual growth and divine progress According to IFA verse seven under otunrunpon ogbe Ese ifa ori keje labe odu otunrunpon ogbe Ifa jebo naa o fin

Otunrunpon ogbe speaks of the power of ESU to revert evil situation from the lives of the devoted ones and from the path of the disciple of IFA . what is the function of ESU! . Esu enforces spiritual laws and lead every sacrifice to the place of acceptance through the power conferred on him from the primordial . Esu performs and caries these functions very well with other ADABOS to ensure that all sacrifices and rituals conform to spiritual obligation , fulfillment and manifestation . For every sacrifices and ritual to go up to the place of acceptance must have the support of ESU

and ADABOS and bring back to the doer of the sacrifices all benefits and gains associated with it. ESU partakes in all sacrifices , ritual and other spiritual activities of men and other unseen forces in the cosmos and bring back to them according to their wishes of their mind , commitment and dedication to the said sacrifices, ritual and spiritual step . ESU should not be seen as a magician or a great confusion deity , but a power , messenger and energy that act according to spiritual rules and order and carry out the order through extreme precision . ESU do not favor you or against you, but give you what is sent through him from spiritual realm to you , he is the messenger of spiritual correspondence . IF you know how to appease him through your sacrifice and good character , you will see the positive side and remain in the positive domain of ESU , but when you fail to carry out spirit function in align with spiritual order , rules and regulations then there is no way ESU can do such individual a favor . ESU favors who walks on the path of spiritual light and perform his sacrifice with spiritual wisdom and sound character , and discharge punishment when necessary . He cannot act alone , but act in accordance with spiritual orders According to IFA verse eight under otunrunpon ogbe Ese odu ifa labe otunrunpon ogbe Ifa jebo naa o fin Ela jebo naa o rode orun gbure gbure Lee sibe Lee sohun Esu odara Orisa mini wo tini subu Orisa gbami nitori mo ti se rere A difa fun eleniyan To besu lowe ko lo sebi Esu o ni ibi ise Ise owo eni ni ko re ati ni ko ibi ba ni ESU ma se mi , enibi ni ko le se ESU gbami , Orisa ti gba ni lojo isoro ESU , gberu gbebo Kii ebo awo ko gba , ki ebo awo ko run

IFA speaks of the wisdom of man by using his will power and spiritual energies to find a solution to the most confused problem and challenges . Man can stop unworthy negative vibration and sickness and other negative manifestation of evil from being passed from generation to generation through his wisdom . The knowledge of knowing and tracing our past to determine the present and also to know the outcome of the future through divination , wisdom of IFA , intuition , superstition and complete spiritual growth are some of the elements of Otunrunpon ogbe . IFA speaks of the past knowledge , the wisdom of ancestral energy , spiritual heavenly group – EGBE , the understanding of ORI and the power of other divinities are various means by which future can be predicted , and all universal mysteries are brought into a day light . Do you know that the past is dark and unknown , while the future also shroud in secrecy , hence the only way to know what is shrouded in secrecy is through spiritual knowledge . What is un-known is spiritual and whatever that goes beyond human explanation is divine , hence you must take spiritual step to reveal all the secret phenomenon in the universe IFA teaches us to focus on inner power through ORI , and never focus on the energy of others so as to avoid a situation of sapping our energy . IFA explain wisdom as a means to live by spiritual principle , mental discipline , physical smartness , emotional equilibrium rather than seeking a quick and fast way to find a solution to challenges or fix things in a quick way without sound root for change The odu speaks of the story of esu in the universe. IFA says ESU represent the moment of choice between good fortune and ill fortune in the physical plain , most evil happens to every man

because of his own choice ,while the mind of man make choice that are less beneficial to his own development . The heart is constantly at war against oneself and the spiritual build-up is at lower level because of emotional confusion , physical weakness and lack of pure divine love . at the cross road of life , according to this ODU , ESU became a neutral divinity between the two extreme choice of GOOD and BAD . according to the odu verse twenty under OTUNRUNPON OGBE Ese ifa ori ogun labe odu otunrunpon ogbe Ifa jebo naa o fin Ela jebo naa o rode gbure gbure Igbori nile egungun Iranje nile orisa-nla Ita gbangba nile elegbara A difa fun ESU ODARA Lojo to won ti ikole orun nbo wa si ikole aye Won ni ile aye ti o lo yi , gbogbo eda ti o ba ti gbo gbigbo ebo ti o rubo Jeki ona won ma la , ki won bori ajogun , jeki won rehin odi Jeki asubi , ki o di asure bayi fun won Gbogbo awo patapata lode aye ni ko rubo , ti won Ki won si run atekesu Gbogbo eni rubo ni ESU gbe ESU lana owo , lana omo , lana , aya rere , ise rere , oko rere , emi gigun ati ile ti se bale oro Nitori mo ti gbo gbigbo ebo , mo ti rubo Mo gbo atekesu , mo um ebo wa fesu Tani ko mo pe riru ebo ni gbe ni Airun re ko gbeniyan Kope , kee jina Ewa ba wa laiku kangiri Aiku kangiri laa bani lese orisa

Otunrunpon Ogbe speaks of ORI as elemental forces and vibrations that associate human to his destiny . IFA under Otunrunpon OGBE says , good ori find its source and resources from the infinite intelligent and infinite source of life – OLODUMARE . hence ORI is a linkage between the physical man and his creator. When a man lack good ori or when a man fails to use his proper ORI , he engages in the activities that does not befit his existence ad his destiny , he indulges in activities that is rooted in shame and indolence , that is he steals whatever does not belong to him , whatever he does in secret or hiding torment him to the grave . he is under a great shame because of his foolishness . He is subjected to suffering because of his indolence whereas , if he had combined efficiency , determination , hard-work with sound spiritual state and divine inclination , if he has taken up the task of rigorous activities by laboring for whatever he intends to have and whatever he wants to get from the mother –earth , he would have been counted blessed among men and his soul should have been elevated to deity . IFA under this odu says there is wisdom in labor . according to Otunrunpon OGBE, the indolents know how to point accusing finger to ajogun Orun , witches , wizard and family member or generational curse as the causes of their failure in life . He fails to realize that whatever you plant in the belly of the mother –earth , shall it be the fruit you will reap from the mother nature . IFA rejects both the physical indolence ,and the spiritual indolence. Physical indolence means lack of physical activities , labor and or materials needed to succeed in life , while spiritual indolence means lack of spiritual activities that lead to spiritual weakness. IFA says , no one plant good seed and repeat contrary . IF you are lazy and foolish , the outcome will be the same . Evil actions attract evil repercussion . when we sacrifice our time , money , effort and dedicate to something meaningful , then the result will be the same , let every man sacrifices whatever he has , he shall reap the reward of sacrifice from the infinite father of light Sacrifice well so that your life shall attract abundant blessing and your children and your generation yet unborn will benefit from your see , wisdom , and discipline .

Otunrunpon ogbe speaks of using spiritual power and divine control to overcome all symptom of poverty , lack and penury. IFA says ,we should work hard and be positive in our way, our thought and pray always to determine and change our destiny for good. IFA says , affluence wealth and good health are determined by sound spiritual paradigm and knowledge of the infinite source of all that are created in creation with his numerous divinities responsible for the infinite supplying in creation, the surplus and numerous fortunes to all that belief and have absolute faith in Him . This fortune can be used by us and be transferred to our generation yet unborn , if we continue to tread the path of wisdom , discipline , honesty and hard-work . IFA says , intelligent application of spiritual understanding lead to abundant fortune and great wealth, longevity , sound health and happiness. IF man fails to understand spiritual laws , order and principle and also fail to apply whatever he knows, to personal life , if at all he knows few basic spiritual principles , then , what shall become of him will be poverty , penury , backwardness and poverty , with lacks. Spiritual laws under otunrunpon ogbe means , we should not seek for stupid request , since stupid request deserves a foolish response and answer , just like laziness and spiritual indolence deserves penury , lacks and regret. This declared IFA oracle for a poor man , who wake s, very early but tie cloth or wrapper round his waist waiting for OLODUMARE to support his earthly mission , in his foolish state , he will fail as long as there is an appearance of the sun . IFA says , when a child show the sign of greeting , people will respond to him as follows—BI OMODE BA SIPA , BABA RE A GBE . The Omni-potent has created the land to plant , and send rain constantly to give more life to the plant if you can endeavor to plant , but the foolish man does not plant when the rain falsl , he rarely walk and work on the ground for physical strength , and food , he fail to clear the bush and plant the seed in the belly of the mother –earth . He failed to prepare for the raining day . the rain comes to give abundant life ,calmness and love to all creatures in creation and to prepare the nature for good fruit. The rain goes without a foolish man plant a single seed . The foolish in the night wakes up when every soul goes to sleep , to steal from the plantation of the wise . the curse of stealing torment him to the grave , that is the belly of the mother nature . He is put to shame because of his foolishness . IF you do not plant in the belly of the mother nature , how can you the reap from the earth. The lazy ones , are both at the mercy of their evil action and evil deeds. They are subjected to shame and suffering because of inaction and indolence . IFA says we should be active , strong and wise to reap the best from the mother nature and get the support need to grow our seed and our live through OLODUMARE acting through his numerous divinities. IFA says , the preparation and the cultivation of the soul for meaningful seed to grow during life time , should involve long term goals, mission , which should not be an immediate fixing . The wise and the discipline soul will reap abundantly well because of the perseverance , diligent and hard-work. The indolence as well has a reward , the reward of regret , poverty and lack, suffering and pains. The
