All stuff here is free.... including some special parts of Odu texts, special experiences and special personal insights, not to mention the odd bit of Odu info that is usually considered "secret".

"There is a day, a day of joy;
there is another day, a day of sorrow"
was cast for Palm Bird in the cotton tree,
on the day that he wanted to know
what kind of day it was.
He asked: "What day is this?"
They told him that this is the day
of joy, of fun and games, of abundance.
They told him to sacrifice a pigeon,
a calabash of mashed yams, a pot of soup,
palm wine and 3200 cowries.
He listened and made the sacrifice.
