Obara-Irete
"When Obara falls
and then Irete falls, we think
immediately of Orunmila"
were the ones who cast for Orunmila
and told him to sacrifice, in order
not to encounter an enormous problem,
and also to be important, always,
wherever he would be or go.
What was to be sacrificed?
To be sacrificed was a snail,
a white cloth, 3200 cowries, and ewe.
Orunmila listened and made the sacrifice.
And then they told him that he would never
be confronted with anything above his powers.
Orunmila initiated himself into Ifa,
and always, forever, he would
initiate others into Ifa too, he would
initiate all students of Ifa.
Ifa says this Odu says that his person might be
on the path of Ifa.
The ebo is 1 snail,
a white cloth, 780 cowries
and ewe.
