Let's learn about theOdù Ifá

Ogbè Ọ̀yẹ̀kú

Ogbè yẹ̀kú is the father of the àmúnlù,

Blessings of long and healthy life is the father of alákẹdun,

The wealth of the tortoise is never taken by the Snail,

The one pertaining the snail should not me snatch by the Tortoise,

Ifa was cast for the Lion who would use urine to seize the bush,

The Lion would use his urine to reconquest the bush, the house of his father.

They advised him to offer sacrifice.

You should have seen the Lion in the bush then, owner of all valuable things.

But after his father lived long time on Earth he finally departed to where his ancestors are.

At this time, all the animals of the bush started to plot and snatched his father's legacy from his hands.

The Lion then added 2 to 3,

And went to his babalawo.

How could he recover his legacy from the hands of the uncountable animals

Is what he consulted Ifa about.

They told him to offer sacrifice,

Lion listened and complied,

They prepared Ifa secret preparation for him,

That he would use to bath with.

Not long after,

All his properties were restituted to him.

He then started to rejoice and praised his Babaláwo(s)

His Babaláwo(s) praised Ifa...

Ogbè yẹ̀kú is the father of the àmúnlù,

Blessings of long and healthy life is the father of alákẹdun,

The wealth of the tortoise is never taken by the Snail,

The one pertaining the snail should not me snatch by the Tortoise,

Ifa was cast for the Lion who would use urine to seize the bush,

The Lion would use his urine to reconquest the bush, the house of his father.

He's the owner of the wilderness

The Lion is now the owner of the wilderness,

Let him parade freely !
