Iwori-Ika
"Stealing on your own creates problems;
stealing in a group causes problems;
on the day that the thief is caught
he tells the names of his accomplices"
was the one who cast Ifa
for Kusika and his band of robbers,
who were thieves when the night
spread its darkness over the world.
They were warned that they were about to be arrested.
If they didn't want to be arrested, they had to sacrifice
all the stolen stuff in their homes,
and also a goat and 8000 cowries.
If they made the sacrifice they would receive the advice
to put all the stolen stuff on a crossroads at midnight.
They should never perform evil deeds anymore.
Ifa says that this person must cease to be bad.
Kusika whose name means "death" changed it into
Kusimo which means "death is mistaken".
Iwori-Ika
Iwori-Ika, like every combination with Ika, admonishes the client to be very careful of everything that is, might be or might become an infection. Take this in the broadest sense of the word. If you cut your finger, however small, put some iodine on it. If you take anything out of the fridge, look at the expiration date and when in doubt, don't eat it. Be careful what you eat, cook certain foodstuffs well and thoroughly to kill all possible bacteria. Stay away from places of possible infection or contamination. In this day and age the Ika warning alaso pertains to sex, unfortunately. If you have sex with anybody (with the possible exception of your regular partner), take care of good quality protection! Now don't get paranoid for Ifa does not say that you will get a nasty infection of inflammation or such, Ifa simply says that all combinations with Ika warn against the possibility, so you can take precautions.
