Oturupon-Okanran
"Child is just as important as wealth;
I am happy whatever happens;
I will have somebody to represent me"
cast for Efunbunmi, meaning:
"Chalk can give me this"
on the day that she wanted children.
They told her that she would have many children,
but that she must sacrifice in order for the child
that she already carried on her back, not to become
a criminal when he grew up. The sacrifice
was a pigeon, 44,000 cowries, and ewe.
She refused to sacrifice. Had she sacrificed,
she would have been told to have the child take a bath
using olusesaju-leaves and eso-leaves, squeezed
into water and mixed with black soap, for use
of the child even when it is older.
Ebo: one pigeon, money, and ewe.
Oturupon Konran, Oturupon Konran
was cast for Orunmila, on the day
that two of his enemies reported him to Eshu,
and begged this worthy to help them kill Orunmila.
The diviners instructed Orunmila to sacrifice
two calabashes, two hens, and 480 cowries.
Orunmila listened, and made the sacrifice.
He tied the two calabashes to his shoulder
and went on his way to sacrifice at Eshu's shrine.
While he was on his way, the calabashes clunked
against each other, like saying: "I will kill Okanran,
I will kill Oturupon", and so it went on and on.
It went even on so long, that when Orunmila
approached Eshu's shrine, his two enemies
heard what the calabashes said, and they began
to worry what would happen if Orunmila saw them;
because even though he had not seen them yet,
he was already soundly threatening them!
They decided to run away before Orunmila
reached Eshu's shrine. This is what Orunmila did
to have victory over his enemies. Easy, eh?
Ebo: 2 calabashes, 2 old hens, and 480 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.
