INTRODUCTION
The information you are about to receive from this reading of your
Odu, which was revealed during Itenifa ( Ifa initiation) is the workings
of the dynamic forces within you, which were formed by your
emanation and at the point of your existence on this terrestrial plane.
Also, it bothers on the cosmic forces that are spiritual and beyond
your control.
The dynamic forces are your potentials, natural qualities and strength
of your character to be controlled in order to strengthen your public
image and boost your popularity. Whereas, the cosmic forces or
components are from Ayanmo, Akunleyan and Akunlegba, these
three components are loosely described as Destiny or Heavenly
gift/virtues.
The Ayanmo is interplay to forces, which are usually divine, and in
consonant with the inventive precepts of Olodumare (The Almighty
God of creation). Ayanmo of your life cannot be changed. Once you
are created with it, it remains so till the expiration of your life on this
planet earth. Ayanmo includes sex of an individual, race, family,
parent, growth, and other natural rules of which an individual must
tow and obey.
Akunleyan are the virtues and values chosen in heaven consequent
upon your actions/activities in your previous evolution or existence.
They are actually things chosen by you and most of the time form
your likes and dislikes or taboo.
Akunlegba are the gifts or virtues added by various Irunmole at the
presence of Onibode (celestial sentinel) in heaven or just before you
emanate into the world. They are like spices, additives, preservatives,
Ifa says that you should always heed the advice of Ifa
and follow its tenets conscientiously. Ifa says you must
always be open to those under you; such as your
subordinates, students, followers, etc. and must not
hide anything from them in terms of study, strategies,
plans etc. This becomes necessary in order to avoid any
This was the awo who cast Ifa for Onyagbe, the
farmer
The one with a vast expanse of farmland
When he was working without any reward to show
for it
He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
Before long, not too far
The ire of prosperity came trooping in
One day, Ode, the hunter went for Ifa consultation about his
coming hunting expendition, whether he would become
successful or not. He was told that he would be successful
but he needed to offer ebo so that his proceeds are not lost
out to another person. Ode refused, He boasted that with
his might, nobody on earth could take away his hunting
proceeds. Since Ifa, had informed him that he would be
successful, he would only offer ebo for success and there
was no need to offer the other one since he possessed
deadly charms that could kill any animal and even human
beings as well. Nobody, according to him, could overcome
him and take his proceeds away.
On the other hand, Onyagbe, the farmer also went for Ifa
consultation on how to make headway in his farming job. He
was advised to be patient and that he would surely succeed
that year. He was advised to offer ebo with one pigeon, one
hen, one guinea fowl one rooster and money. He was also
advised to be observing Ifa worship days. He complied.
Ode went on hunting expedition, he killed a lot of animals,
sold them and realized a lot of money. On his way back, Esu
made him to miss his way and he was roaming about for
Ode na o ba la
Onyagbe ni yoo gbola ode
Translation
Onyagbe is the one that would take over Odes
wealth 2ce
If ode had offered the ebo as prescribed
He would have become wealthy
Onyagbe has taken over odes wealth
Ode was then full of regrets, that if he had known, he would
have offered all the prescribed ebo. From then henceforth, it
was decreed that whosoever has chosen hunting as a
profession where this Odu is revealed would never prosper
from it, unless he complements it with other jobs.

in order to avoid childbearing problem and
unconsummated fortune. You need to offer ebo with
four rats, four fish, four hens and money. You should
always add camwood to your body cream and be using
it to rub your body at all times. On this Ifa says:

Ifa says that you will prosper in the field of Ifa practice.
The profession that you are practicing presently is not
as fulfilling as Ifa practice. Ifa will give you peace of
mind and contentment. In addition, you need to offer
ebo with two roosters, two hens, four rats, four
fish and money. You also need to propitiate Ifa as
appropriate. On this, Ifa says:
Erin su bi elu

Ifas message for Orunmila
11. Ifa
says that there is the need for you to feed your Ori in
order for you to be able to achieve all the great things
that you have come into this world to achieve. Ifa says
that anytime that you put your head on the ground to
pray, the spirit of your Ori will just sleep off. And for that
reason, all what you are asking Ifa and Olodumare
were not given to you. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with
either one rooster or one he-goat and money. The hegoat or rooster will be slaughtered and the blood
drained on your head on top of Esu. The awo will mix
Ojiji leave and Ojiji fish (electric fish) together with soap
and will be given for you to wash your Ori with it. After
this, there is the need to ask Ifa what your Ori will take
and whatever Ori takes will be used to propitiate your
Ori accordingly. The moment this is done, all what you
are looking for in your life will be given unto you and
your prayers will be answered. On this, Ifa says:
Atesun lele
Dia fun Orunmila
Nijo ti Baba nfori kanle
Ti Eledaa re nsun lo o
Ebo ni won ni ko waa se
O gbebo, o rubo
Ojiji de moni pere e mi o
