Alaafia! This is the Itadogun from our Sister Temple 🛕 Some similar themes. Sharing because this resonated for me, especially with it being my Shango and Yemoja coming through. The timing is... perfect. Ire!
Eku ojo Ose Ifa, Irentegbe Temple and aborisha family. Love and abundance to you all! Today, we were greeted with the appearance of the holy Odù Osa-Iwori.
Verse 1:
Yemoja was barren. She went to consult Ifa as a result. The awo advised Yemoja to sacrifice for children. They warned Yemoja that the children she would have would bring her joy, but they would also trouble her. They told Yemoja to remain patient and never to curse her children out of anger. Yemoja complied. She had many children. To care for them, Yemoja was selling beans and corn. That was how she earned a living. Yemoja was fond of porcelain dishes, which she acquired over time. This collection of dishes was a source of great pleasure for Yemoja.
One day, while Yemoja was selling wares in the market, her children were at home playing. They broke all of Yemoja's dishes in the process. Everything she had acquired - even before the birth of her children - was suddenly destroyed. When Yemoja returned home to see the destruction she could not believe her eyes. She became furious. But then, Esu went to work. As soon as she looked at the situation, Esu made Yemoja full and satisfied, as if she had just eaten her favorite meal. And so, from then on, we praise her, Awoyo. It means, "She looks and is fulfilled." Likewise, when we look upon her, in all her bounty, and we are instantly fulfilled.
Yemoja wa woyo
Yemoja wa woyo olomo agbe sere
O, wa woyo ooo
O, wa woyo
Yemoja wa woyo
Yemoja wa woyo olomo agbe sere
Verse 2:
Sango was in the depths of tribulations. Many people had been conspiring against him. They were undermining Sango's position at every turn. They took to bullying and harassing Sango. Exasperated, Sango went to consult Ifa. How do I break free of this conspiracy and mistreatment? They cast Ifa for Sango and it was OsaIwori. They told Sango to appease his Oke Iponri with 200 stones, a ram, gbegiri, amala, oti and orogbo. Sango complied. Whenever the adversaries started to speak ill of Sango, his voice would rumble in the skies. Thunder would clap and he would throw 200 stones. Lightning would strike his enemies. They would kneel and salute him, Kabiyesi!

As usual, let's talk about it. Let me know what you hear Ifá saying to us through these stories. How do you interpret this?
