Oturupon-Irosun
Yellow Potato, the awo of goodness,
cast for Oturupon, on the day
that he was going to marry Irosun.
They said that he would have many children
and grandchildren from this marriage,
and that it would be a good marriage.
Plenty of kolanuts, a hen and 3200 cowries
were the sacrifice. He listened and sacrificed.
Ebo: kolanuts, 1 chicken and 780 cowries.
"Oturupon'rosu enjoys great fame"
cast for Delumo, on the day
that she was warned that her husband
would give her much unrest.
However, if Delumo would sacrifice,
her husband would giver her
inner peace instead!
The sacrifice was two snails,
and 4400 cowries. she listened,
and made the sacrifice.
Then it was established
that two snails never fight.
Ebo: 2 snails, 4400 cowries.
Warning!
In my experience (and in that of others!) in each and every combination with Oturupon the client should be alerted to, and asked about, the possibility of anything infectious or contagious, and anything that might cause a fever. That can be any kind of inflammation, infectious disease, contamination, poisoning... that kind of stuff. Really: in each and every combination with Oturupon this needs thorough examination! It can be something as simple as the risk of a light food poisoning on the one hand, or a severe warning against the HIV virus on the other. I have never ever in my practice (which I started back in 1982) encountered any Oturupon combination falling for a client where the infection issue wasn't relevant in one way or another.
Oturupon-Irosun
Some of the general metaphysical concepts behind Oturupon-Irosun with Ibi are quite interesting. This Odu when it comes with Ibi speaks of bad advice, or more pointedly of the client being unthinkingly attracted to goals, and the pursuit of these, that have been set by others instead of by the client himself. With this Odu "running" there is a real risk of successes that the client reaches, being only FAKE successes, that are obtained through dishonest methods to boot. There is too much of a tendency to look for guidance and answers outside the Self, and Ifa speaks her of some gullability. When under the influence of Oturupon-Irosun the energy flow of the client is blocked (and the Ibi indicates that this, to a certain extend, indeed is the case), there is a loss of purpose and direction, even to the extend that it becomes difficult for the client to make optimum use of the cycles in nature. I would refine the latter statement something like: the client might try to go ice skating in summer, and skinny dipping in winter. Confusion, and the eventual failure of plans, are the results of the loss of purpose and direction. The clients tends to be subject to repeating, cyclic patterns, from which he seems to be unable to escape. Incorrect timing or incorrect acting leads to negative results. Having the wrong job, even having chosen a totally wrong profession, may lead to failure and poverty. The client isn't familiar enough with the ways of nature, and the urge to compensate for this lack, leads to conflicts between the client and other people. Some of the keywords here are repetition, loss of direction, bad timing, gullability, poverty, fake successes, conflict, bad advice, wrong goals.
