Ofun-Okanran
"Ofun'Konran we are looking for the house
of the very well-bathed person Oloseawefin,
so that Ofun's beauty does not disappear"
was cast for Corn, on the day
that Corn was suffering.
Ebo: 1 white pigeon, money, and ewe.
The sacrifice was made.
"The leopard is looking for a fight
at the middle of the day" cast for Orunmila,
on the day that they send Death to him,
to take him to Heaven, to Eshinrinmogbo.
"I do not meet Olorun when I go walking;
like a copper gong sounding 'ro-goro-goro'
does not look at Orisha;
I do not answer this Oloruns call;
a bell without clapper does not answer
the call of Orisha".
Ifa says there is a person that many people
make spells and hexes against, trying
to bind him in his place with magic, making
him do evil against his will. Ifa says
they are doing this in vain, they will not
be able to retain him. From Heaven Olodumare
has sent this person, and he will live long enough
to see all those die, who now make
hexes and spells against him.
"Whiteness is the mother of the hot wind Harmattan,
the chin prevents the sun from shining underneath the jaw"
was the one who cast for Leopard when he was severly ill,
and tried in vain to rise from his bed. Leopard
was instructed to make sacrifice an adire cloth,
two oil lamps, a straight razor and 20,000 cowries.
Leopard listened and made the sacrifice. From then on
Leopard was able to rise anytimne he wanted, of all animals
no one could beat him anymore. Leopard danced and sang
and praised the Awo's who in turn praised Ifa, because
his diviners had told the truth. Oh yes, whiteness
s the mother of the hot wind Harmattan,
the chin prevents the sun from shining underneath the jaw"
was the one who cast for Leopard when he was severly ill,
and tried in vain to rise from his bed.
Ifa says that in case of illness
ebo must be made to Oya, consisting of an adire cloth, two
oil burning lamps, a straight razor and 20,000 cowries.
After having recited the above text lines, the following addition can be recited to the client by the Awo:
Ifa says here is a person with a good destiny who,
however, has not yet discovered the means to realize it.
This creates a general feeling of ill-being, which can be ended if
this client emphasizes his strong point and underplays the weak ones.
It's partly a matter of outward looks: one with beautiful eyes
should not hide them behind dark glasses, a good skin is fit
to be shown off, and a muscled man should not walk crouched.
Ifa says there is a person with lack of self-confidence, whose attitude
seems to holler: "Beat me! Kick me!" when we change our attitude
novody will kick or beat us anymore. There is a person who should stop
being someone else - we should only be ourselves. Only then
are we healthy and whole. Ifa says that in case of illness
ebo must be made to Oya, consisting of an adire cloth, two
oil burning lamps, a straight razor and 20,000 cowries.
