Odu Irosun

Irosun was born to the king of Idere in the Ibarufa area, after said king whose wife had failed to conceive, had drugged her before having intercourse with her. The unorthodox remedy worked. Irosun has a taboo against eating snake meat. He may not kill any snake with the handle of a hoe, nor can he climb any tree, especially not a palm tree. Irosun must not wear red cloth or use blood or anything that looks like it, like red camwood.
