Ogbe-Ika

Oroyare cast for Orunmila Abota,
and they told him so sacrifice a dog
and a mat, because his Orisha
stood humming in the backyard,
because his Orisha was trying in vain
to draw his attention.
He refused to sacrifice,
and the Orisha remained unattended.

Ogbe-Ika

Ogbe-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.
