Irosun Obara (Iroso Bara / Iroso Gan · Irosun Obara)

OBARA BALE RA OGUN, ALE OUN EBA IRA — these were the two Awoses who foretold for Iroso Obara when he was coming from Heaven. They told him: Wash your head on Earth with two eggs and two slugs. Serve Eshu with a goat. Serve your guardian angel with a guinea hen. He made all the sacrifices to avoid the risk of suffering from paranoia on Earth.

However, when he arrived on Earth he became very extravagant. One night his Angel of the Guard advised him to repeat the sacrifices he had made in Heaven. He made them without delay. He washed his head on the ground with two eggs and two slugs mixed with ewe irorowo and other gentle leaves of Ifá. After that, his mind cleared and he began to behave more humanely. And later he became a famous and prosperous Ifá Priest in the city of Ega.

When the Oloja of Ega heard about Sufama, he sent for him. His ability earned him the position of Chief of the Diviners of Olojade Ega. The Oloja had an illness no one had been able to cure. Iroso Obara divined and told the Oloja that he had a dress inherited from his father — and that this dress had been ruined by the Elders of the Night, the Witches of the Family. The Babalawos and traditional doctors had not been able to cure it because they had not seen the inheritance.

When Irosun Obara arrived at the palace, he told the king: if you hand the dress over to Eshu with a goat, you will heal. The Oloja made the sacrifice and was healed. This is how Irosun Ega became the Royal Chief of the Diviners of the Oloja of Ega.

Note. This is the patakín of the obra repeated. The Awo of this sign must remember that what he did in Heaven must be done again on Earth — otherwise the mind clouds, the extravagance overruns, and the inheritance illness is not detected. The reward of the repetition is the Royal Chair.

Ebbó: akukó for Eshu, eyele for the guardian angel, ewe irorowo and other gentle Ifá leaves, two eggs, two slugs, the dress of the inheritance handed to Eshu, the standard ebbó.

Alaakpa had several problems caused by the Witches who slept and woke up with him. He called Orunmila to predict, and Orunmila advised him to make a sacrifice with: a frog, a wooden image (omolangidi in Yoruba), bitter leaves, and Zazafran wood (obo in Yoruba and Oziya in Benin). He made the sacrifices, and was told to repeat the next enchantment over the prepared ayajo for him.

The instruction over the ayajo is exact:

No one ever dares to swallow the emissions of the electricity tree. No Witch can survive an attack from Obo. No Witch eats bitter leaves. No Witch can kill a wooden image. Dogs are prohibited from killing frogs.

After that, all the Witches fled from his side one after another and he could finally have peace and tranquility.

When this Odu appears in divination, the person will be told that he is surrounded by Witches. He should look for an Ifá Priest to prepare a similar protective device (Ayajo) for him, and he will be free from them.

Ebbó: the four-element ayajo (frog, wooden image, bitter leaves, Zazafran wood), the standard ebbó, the prepared ayajo to be carried.
