Odu Irosun-Oturupon

Irosun was cast for Abimoku,
Oturupon was cast for Abimoku,
who was the mother of abiku.
They instructed Abimoku to sacrifice.
In future Abimoku would give life
to children that would live.
The sacrifice was a turtle and 16,000 cowries.
Abimoku listened and made the sacrifice.
They instructed her to change her name
into Mola, which means "a child survives".
It is forbidden, for a young turtle does not die.
Ebo: one turtle, and 16,000 cowries.

"We think we are already there, but
we've always got one more step to go"
was the one who cast for Stinging Tongue, on the day
that people didn't want to hear his name anymore
because he was always criticising them, unreasonably.
There was Stinging Tongue... what should he do
so that people would be pleased to listen to him again,
so that his life would become better again?
The instructed Stinging Tongue to sacrifice
to his Ori, they instructed Stinging Tongue to stop
shouting his satisfaction with himself from the rooftops.
They instructed Stinging Tongue to sacrifice to his Egun,
to offer beer and cowries to his Egun, so that all prayers
and requests that never had been answered would be
answered after all. Stinging Tongue listened and made
the sacrifice, and people began to listen to him again,
and they stopped calling him "Stinging".
"We think we are already there, but
we've always got one more step to go"
was the one who cast for Stinging Tongue, on the day
that people didn't want to hear his name anymore
because he was always criticising them, unreasonably.
Tongue made the sacrifice and his life was saved.
Ifa says that there is a person who knows much and
who can do much, but he must stop alienating others
with his small-minded criticisms and smugness.
For, although we are already a good distance on our way,
we always have one more step to go...
