Itadogun Notes
Saturday 8/31
Alaafia @Everyone Here are the notes from today's Itadogun. This guidance is in effect until Monday 9/16 and all ebos(except Iyaami) should be completed by then. Iya will consecrate ebo items Tuesday 9/10.
Major Odu: Owonrin Ose
2nd: Ofun Iwori- in Ire
Unexpected changes are close at hand- Owonrin is associated with esu and strong feminine energy. Pay attention to your birth chart, specifically where Capricorn falls. This unexpected change is positive and leads to abundance(Ose). Be in flow and pay attention to your thoughts- get out of your head and put your ideas to work. Define and articulate what success is for you so that you can pray more effectively. Pay attention to your legs, feet and stomach. Listen to your body and eat food that feel good to your digestive system. This odu speaks about ebo turning bad luck around, getting justice in a situation and victory over adversities.
In one of today's itans, a prince consulted ifa after experiencing money troubles and was told to stop sleeping with his father's wife (step mother) to spend his money wisely and make ebo so that he could sustain his wealth. The prince didn't agree with the advisory he argued with the priest; his father had over 1,000+wives and the prince did not see any issue with his actions. The priest told the prince that any woman married to his father was considered his mother in the eyes of ifa therefore he was breaking a taboo. The prince chose not to follow the guidance and when his father passed away four years later, the prince lost everything he inherited.
Passing along good character values and spiritual practices to your children is important so that your legacy and wealth isn't lost. Children learn through example so ensuring that they have good values and spiritual practices is emphasized in both of today's odus. At times you may not always agree with an advisory or ebo needed but not following the instructions will keep you out of alignment.
Ask for help. When you pray you always give gratitude and then ask for something new. When you succeed those around you succeed this applies to the physical and spiritual areas of your life. If you don't have Hand of Ifa use what you have at your disposal to get clarity on your situations. I.E tarot cards, shells etc. Divination helps support you in making the positive changes that are discussed in the odus.
