Whisper-whisper
Ifá will send a large number to the heavens.
I am looking for a place to rest.
Ifá will send wealth to the holy land
Someone who is troubling me about an issue.

Welcome to the world

Ifá will send you to the heavens.
The king has arrived!
Today is Awo!

Translation:

I am being hit repeatedly on the head

They are hitting my stomach with all their strength and without
piety
They are beating me without mercy, without compassion
 As if they were hitting a beast
This was the cast of Ifa for Obara Ose
The protector and supporter of all Awo
It was advised to him that he offer a sacrifice
He obeyed.
Ifa declared that all those who hit me repeatedly in the
head
May Ifá send you to heaven
And those who hit my belly with all their might without
piety
As if they were beating a beast
May Ifá send you to premature death
Here comes Obara Ose
O protetor e apoiador de todos os Awo.

You need to offer a sacrifice with a goat, 2 roosters, 2 hens, 2

pigeons, 50 kola nuts, 50 bitter kola nuts, liqueurs, palm oil, and money.
You will also use part to feed Ifa.

21. Ifa says that when you went for the Ifa initiation, there were many
aspects of your life for which you were struggling, but did not have
success. Ifa says that even if you can claim that you entered into Ifa
for interest, many of your efforts before being started were
due to persuasions and encouragements from loved ones. Ifa says that
you will achieve great success in almost every aspect of your
life. This is because you were created in this world by Olodumare to come and
achieve. In other words, you are one of the few achievers of this
world.
Ifa says you need to offer a sacrifice with a goat and money.
After that, you will feed Ifa with a goat, eight rats, 8 fish, 2
chickens and money. After doing all this, you will serve the head
give the heads of rats, chickens, and fish to Ifa. You
will burn to ash and then grind it. You will place this Odu in it and
will pray over it. After that, you will put it in a bottle or
container. You will place it in your Ifa for 16 days. After the 16th day, you
you will start using it, a spoonful in any porridge of your choice
every day (oats, cream, etc.) without sugar. If this can be done,
you will be able to reach all the desires of your heart, very much
beyond your wildest imagination. On this, Ifa says:

I present to you
Fun Day Éwí
 You will not bear a child of your lineage.

Lókìtì-Èfòn
They said you should come and do it.
Oh flood, oh devastation
I don't understand
What is the meaning of Ifá
The poetic word has come to greet you now.
I want to eat fish
What is the meaning of Ifá?
The poetry is very beautiful now.
A fish eye
Where does the Ifá deity reside?

The poem is now ready.

A man who is not
What can be revealed about Ifá
The poem's words have come to embrace you.

Translation:

My foot is too heavy

He was the Awo who cast Ifa for Ewi, the King of Ado Eki
That was not as successful as his peers from the city of
Ekiti-Efon
He was advised to offer a sacrifice
He obeyed
we cannot kill a rat
To not have a head
The problems will be solved and will be carried out
We cannot kill a fish
To not have a head
The issue of Ewi will certainly have a head (realization)
We cannot kill a bird
To not have a head
Ewi's topic will certainly take a turn.
We cannot kill a beast
To not have a head
The subject of Ewi will certainly take a turn.
22. Ifá says that, no matter how great your chances of success are, you
must ensure that all things that have been highlighted as yours
taboos must be strictly respected. If you do not observe and avoid
these taboos can give you countless problems and put you
in problems of monumental proportions. This area is the most aspect
important of your Odu. About this Ifa says.
The one who wakes up, wakes up to Ifá's guidance.
The snail will roam, it will make its home a burden.
The ancestors of Ikamudu will always emerge with you

Day for Olódùmarè Agòtún

Oh, the world is finished
Oh, the king's throne has been gained.
If you are serious
It died
If there is no rain
The dead has come
It is important that I know the truth
Your beauty is what makes me speak.
Let them all come together.
The color that defines a person.
They said that death is what kills.

Tradução:

It is the turtle that wakes up and puts the Ifá tray in its
head
The snail is the one that travels and uses its home as cargo
The masquerade of the black ant is the one that goes out in its costumes.

These were the declarations of Ifá for Olodumare
After creating the world
He made the taboo his king
If we go through the initiation of Ifa
We will die later
If we do not do it under initiation
We will die later
Please let us acknowledge the taboo
The taboo is the most difficult
The most delicate of all
It is taboo to kill people in the world
They were just falsely accusing the death.
Ifá says that your success in life, your ability to achieve success,
happiness and health depend entirely on how much taboo you are able to tolerate
to recognize and avoid.

23. Ifá says that you need to have an annual celebration in your home.
This will ensure that you do not fall into any traps in your life.

match the period in which it was started. This will certainly increase
your chances of success in life.
Ifá says that when this is done, you need to celebrate the people with
food and wine. However, you will ensure that the pumpkin is included.

They said what they should do.
Where is the gbébó, where is the rubo
What do you think, it
Come and worship the deity
I am here
We are gathered to celebrate the New Year.
Come here, let's pray.

Translation:
The okra is the one that has its stripes on the inside.
The Opeere bird with its thick tuft on its head
These were the Ifa casts for them in Iware-Akisan
Where they were watching their festival without pumpkin
They were advised to make sacrifices.
They obeyed
Now, passengers, please come here
Come eat pumpkin
It is the pumpkin that we use in the celebration of our annual festival in
Iware
 Passersby, please come here and eat pumpkin

Ifa says that you have a brother who is very close to you, but
unfortunately despite the fact that you seem to get along very well
one another. There is a tendency that you will probably
hurt each other a lot. On the other hand, you might have a spouse
whose activities seem to complement each other. You need to take
be careful not to suffer serious damage from your
spouse.
Another possibility is that your first child and your second child may

They were advised to offer sacrifices
They simply ignored the advice
So, the match led to Tinder's death.

very close to the sea or river or a great stream. Consequently, Ifa
it is recommended that you place your house very close to the river, sea, stream
etc. If this is not possible, you need to dig a well or a hole
in your home where water can be obtained at any time. If
if this proves impractical, then you need to obtain a basin very
large that you must fill with water all the time. This will attract
All the good things in life for you.

diving, etc. are very good for you. You may also be
drilling wells and holes as your profession. You simply do not
