Owonrin-Iwori

"A crazy person exposes his crazyness
while the people are laughing"
was cast for Ojuogbebikan, on the day
that he should sacrifice in order to prevent
his wife from going crazy or, if she was
already crazy, for her to become
sort of normal again.
The sacrifice was four snails, 8000 cowries, and ewe.
Ebo: 4 snails, 8000 cowries, and osipata-leaves.
Boil the leaves with the snails as a soup
for the patient. If this person is already ill,
use the bark of the sapo-tree. Strip the bark
from the tree at sun-up and sun-down, and wrap
with cloves in a little bag of raffia.
Put this little bag into a pot of boiling water.
Frequently wash the person with this water,
after it has cooled down, of course!
Strip the sapo-bark, grind it, and make
a soup with the snails for the patient
to eat or drink regularly. Once the water
in the bath has evaporated, burn
the sludge at the foot of a sapo-tree.
Ebo: 8 snails and 16,000 cowries,
if the patient is already ill.
