Okanran-Irete

Okanran-Ate cast for the Egungun-tree,
who was instructed to sacrifice.
Egungun-tree refused to sacrifice, saying
that he was too big to need support
from other trees. Ebo: 16 pigeons
and some money, so that it will not fall,
and will have other trees to support it.
After having recited the above text, the Awo could continue reciting as follows:
Ifa says that this person never can figure out why,
in everything he does, always just a little something
goes awry... why something always ruins things.
It never is spectacular, always just a minor thing
that goes wrong, making the good things of life
pass this client by. This person has Ifa in his destiny,
and although Itefa does not solve problems by itself,
it sure gives one the tools to tackle them with good results.
And Ifa says that initiation into Ifa will improve
the chances, skills and opportunites this person has
in his job or professional life. Ifa does not proselytize
but here, especially if the client experiences set-back
after set-back, Itefa should be considered very seriously
in order to improve health, professional life, and family wellness.
The ebo is two pigeons, one rabbit, one fish and 20 cowries.

"Okanran touches twenty, Irete touches thirty,
fifty are touched by Okanran-Irete" was the one
who performded Dafa for Obatala of the Forest,
on the day that he went to look for some good
farm land in Ireje. They instructed him to offer
22,000 cowries, white cloth, eleven snails
and a hen, which Obatala of the Forest duly did.
Oh dear, the whole world came to serve him
after the sacrifice, and he never had to farm
his own soil again! Not even the patch in Ireje!
"Okanran touches twenty, Irete touches thirty,

and made the sacrifice.
After having recited the above text, the Awo might want to continue reciting as follows:
Ifa says here is a person with
good prospects, a fine destiny, who will
have many children - whether physical children
or simply the lovely fruits of his labor. But Ifa
also says that it's difficult to start, however,
once we have twenty we will soon have thirty,
and the two combined make fifty! Ifa says
here is a person with whom is almost nothing
wrong: he should simply pull his finger out
and get cracking. Got it? Fine! Move!

Okanran-Irete

Okanran-Irete (Okanran-Ate) speaks of the necessity for a client to initiate into Ifa. This may apply to a woman, which in the diaspora is frowned upon... yet that's what Ifa says. The clients absolutely needs to grow and develop spiritually. there's some backlog of growth to be taken care of here!
