Obara-Odi

"A small cup on the water cooler",
the awo of women,
cast for a prostitute who slept
with every man she encountered.
She was warned that what she did was dangerous,
for a prostitute easily looses her honor,
and it is impossible to prosper through prostitution.
She was advised to admit her ignorance
and to sacrifice two pigeons, two snails,
cocoa butter, 8000 cowries, and ewe.
Grind eso-leaves with iyere; boil the mixture
with a snail into a soup for her to eat;
one may also take the ground eso-leaves
and mix them with the cocoa butter to rub
on her vagina; the eso-leaves can be ground
with soap, to bath.
Ebo: 2 pigeons, 2 snails, cocoa butter,
8000 cowries, and eso-leaves. Grind the leaves
and boil into a soup with the snail. Or mash
and mix with black soap to wash.
