Owonrin-Ogbe

"Owonrin, the father of Ifa,
Ogbe, the father of Opele,
Aramota is Shango's father;
it begins to sparkle; fire
sparkles softly and burns
the farm, the intensity
of the sun burns the road"
cast for Orunmila, on the day
that he went to the river
to clean heads for monetary gain.
Don't you know that the head
that is cleansed by Orunmila,
is the best cleansed of all?

"Owonrin Sogbe, ooro teere,
the awo of the deep forest"
cast for a person, on the day
that this person was surrounded
by negativity. I made ebo
for the pigeons of the house
that are the witches inside,
I made ebo for the pigeons of the farm
that are the witches outside.
Evil person, leave me alone!
