Alaafia Everyone. Here is the Itadogun from February 5th.
Odu Okanran Iwori - IN IRE!!
Ebo to Esu
New perspective, directions, network, opportunities
Be mindful who you share information with
Despite good nature, may still be mocked
Be mindful of travel - Need to consult Ifa before going
Ask for help when you need it, don't wait
If it rains in the mornings, especially at dawn, collect it
Itans (stories)
Sacred Oracle - Advise to share problems with others
Speaks of possible visitor
Fears and inability to share them are blocking your path.
A story of someone on a trip and they didn't return home on time. Their parents went to Ifa to see what was going on and were told to offer ebo so that their child would return home.
Holy Odu - New direction leads to a sense of fulfilment. Must communicate well. Be willing to ask for help when needed. Must clearly identify the source of a problem. Ebo to Esu for this. Ebo to stop a position from being usurped form you at work. Might need to receive Esu Odara. Story of a basket coming o the river and was told to give ebo to come back with blessings. Did not make the ebo and left empty handed.
Baba's Story - The tortoise picker
He had seen a lot of misfortune, hadn't bee successful and was ready to give up. He consulted Ifa one last time to find if he would be successful going to the forest to get tortoises. He was informed, it was his time. It was his destined time to make it! He simply needed to make ebo.
He gets upset with Ifa and Esu. Calls them liars and thieves. Left without making the ebo. he felt the priests were trying to extort him. He goes into the forest and finds a huge toirtoise with beautiful adornments. The priests had also told him to not be greedy. He went looking for more tortoises. he leaves the one he found tied to a tree. He goes looking and finds absolutely none. While his gone, his large adorned tortoise has now gotten free.
All he could do in the moment was praise Ifa. He knew if he had made the ebo and listed to the advice he would not have left empty handed.
Ase!
