Ifa revealed for us the Holy Odu - Ofun Odi. Owonrin Oturopon vs Irete Okanran. Owonrin Oturopon indicating that we are in Ire.
Please note that the casting for Ire or not wasn’t clear until the very last mark. We are happy to be in Ire, however we definitely are towing the line when it comes to being in alignment with our good fortune. Let’s make sure we are falling all advisories and taboos (this is part of your ebo) for this Itadogun cycle, as well as for our community.
Goal is to have ebo materials gathered by Thursday, December 26th. However, there are a few folks who want to give their ebo Christmas Eve or Day, I am open to bless offerings then as well. Send me a chat with your email so you can be added on the invite if you are not one my godchildren
Owonrin Oturopo-Ire Odu
Protection from illness is assured by successfully handling the stress of unexpected change
For some there is a blockaDo ge that will have them being off path

Protection from miscarriage
Reinforces the need for “prayers’ in the morning and evening to God
Speaks of the need for humility
Irete Okanran - Ibi Odu
I’m sharing this one because it was so close. There may be some message here for us as a community or you individually
Perseverance and determination lead to new opportunities
Need for harmony in our personal relationships
One must follow Isese and all that encompasses the tradition, especially ancestors, for blessings
avoiding gossip and small talk
caution regarding a conspiracy among one’s contemporaries
Do not harm people (this isn’t just physically)
Be careful so not trapped by enemies
Follow Ifa’s directives
Warns against revenge
Do not lose hope around having children
Sister Temple Odu Ika Ogbe
Oluwo Baba Suruu Ifaneye (Formerly Baba Teju) cast the Itadogun for the Egbe (Community) for which we are a part of. The Odu I cast will be the more prevalent energy, however this one will also be present for us as well.
Ifa revealed to us the Holy Odu Ika Ogbe. This came in Ire through Oyeku Ogbe.
Based simply on the metaphysical properties of these two Odu, it would seem that the journey and elevation from Babalawo to Oluwo bring with a resounding wave of Ase that is helping all of us open roads for us.
Oyeku Ogbe is calling to task a clearing a way of things, habits, and people that are no longer in alignment so that room can be made for the things that will “bring about our good condition”.
Contemplation leads to the open road
patience is the foundation of good fortune
Standing up for our rights and demanding basic respect
Warning of watching or words
Ika - power of the word, negative words are just as powerful
Proper ebo brings good fortune
Frenemies all around
Itans
Verse 1: I'afojudi, Mi afagbadi. "He said rudeness, I said insolence, he said stubbornness, I said impatience. He said you cannot use a snake for a belt. Nobody is rude enough to hit the Chief's son over his head. Let me be respected and honored today" These the Awos who cast Ifá for Ariwo enu Who was called loudmouth on the day he got himself into trouble for being rude. They told him to see the error of his ways. He was told to offer sacrifice but he did not listen and refused.
Ifá says we will soon be tested for good character. Somebody whom we trusted has abandoned us and we would like to shout that from the rooftops giving in to our indignity. Don't do that, Ifá says Good character, at times, consists of silence and keeping one's mouth shut when speaking would just become hate speech.
Verse 2: If Ika profits me, I would ascend the throne of the king of Ifa. Wickedness does not profit me andI would ascend the throne of the king of Ifa. The deity of wickedness would reward the wicked. These were the Awos who cast divination for the Hyea, the one that was going to get pregnant with twins. She asked, "Would I have children on Earth?" She was advised to offer ebo and she complied.
Meanwhile, the hyena was then heavy with pregnancy. They would not be any problem, they assured her. Soon after, she delivered her babies safely and life. So pleased her. She then started to dance and rejoice. She was praising her Babalawos and her Babalawos we're praising ifa.
If Ika profits me I would ascend the throne of the king. Wickedness does not profit me and I would ascend the throne of the king. The deity of wickedness would reward the wicked, cast divination for the hyena that was going to get pregnant with twins.

Ofun Odi - Ire

Blessing of wealth
Good fortune is dependent on good character and following Ifa’s principles
Might need to receive Egbe
Speaks on Ebo being more efficient than charms or medicines
Being close to Obatala and Ifa brings blessings and protection from enemies
This echoes the Odu we received for 2025
Itan 1 - Ofun restricted goodness. Waragba, act quickly so that Ofun might not end us. Ifa was divined for Olori-Oga. They said: Anyone who restricts goodness to the house will never receive goodness from outside. They advised him to sacrifice to allow goodness to flow into the house.
Waragba - According to Google this means “Old Woman”
Olori-Oga - Means The Chief

Itan 2 - A woman goes to the market with her baby on her back. She is looking at goods when she farts. She pops her baby on the butt saying that it was her baby that farted. By the time she got home the baby was ill. She tried all she could with no success. She consulted Ifa and Ifa told her that she had lied on her baby. The baby’s Ori abhorred it. She was to give ebo and than admit that she had lied. She gives her ebo and then returns to the market place. Then she shouts out that it was her that farted yesterday and not her baby.

Itan - Several clients consult Ifa around the same time. The Cobra, the Phyton, the Long Tailed Snake, The Hunter, and Adetelewa, Ounko’s daughter. Adetelewa is the daughter of a hunter. The Cobra, Phyton, and Long Tailed Snake all courted Adetelewa. Each one wooed her and she agreed to each one. They all began pressuring her to pack up and come live with them, but she did not know which one to choose.
She was consulted Ifa to know how she would have a good home. Ifa told her that she caused a problem for herself by not making a definite choice. She was to give ebo to find a good husband because he was not in the previous three. She was to give the ebo to Ogun so that she could get a good husband.
She made the ebo but the three suitors kept coming by and she could not tell them she was no longer interested, so she ran away. As this is happening the Hunter is consulting Ifa to have a good wife. He is told to give ebo to Ogun and to practice his profession with ardour. He complies.
One day he is hunting and hiding in a tree to ambush an animal when he sees a woman running into the forest. The Hunter comes down and asks her name. It’s Adetelewa. He asked her to marry him, she said yes but she did not know what o do about the previous 3 suitors. The hunter told her she need not fear. She returns home with the hunter and the previous 3 did nothing to her.
