Below are the Odu Ifa in the seniority sequence used in Ode Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria. In other parts of Africa and in the Diaspora, several minor differences in seniority may appear.

All stuff here is free.... including some special parts of Odu texts, special experiences and special personal insights, not to mention the odd bit of Odu info that is usually considered "secret". I share it willingly with y'all, but in order to enable me to "keep it coming" (there are nearly a thousand paper pages that I still have to put online), a monthly subscription of US$5 would be mightily appreciated. So you're cordially invited to hit the button below!
Idiyekuyekete cast for Olori-oga,
the leader of the people.
They instructed him to offer
a sheet of white cloth
that was in his house, a sheep,
and 33,000 cowries.
What was the sacrifice for?
It was for preventing Olori-oga
from becoming a corpse that very year,
a corpse that would be wrapped in
that same white sheet of cloth.
They sang and clapped hands
and beat the drums, singing:
"Ede Oyeye, the leader of the people
covers himself with a white cloth".
Ebo: white cloth, and a sheep.
