How will initiation “ Itefa” transform my life?Initiation serves as a catalyst for a well-rounded transformation, guiding us towards harmonious alignment with our destined path.
Sango, the dreaded lord of thunder and lightning, is regarded as one of the 'hot’ deities whose manifest violence is one of the motivating factors responsible for his large following.
Offspring of the leopard who bathes on blood.
I will worship Shango.
At the apex of Sango’s cult of worship is the Màgbà, who is followed and assisted by a retinue of Elégùn, graded in descending order of priesthood seniority.
His personal poetry (oríki) lauds him as follows:
A twitch of Sango’s nose
and the hypocrite takes to his heels.
Sango smashes the hypocrites house.
There, the hypocrite perishes.
The skeleton of the hypocrite rattles in the attic.
In fits of anger, he hurls "edun ara" at the unwary and destroys their properties in the ensuing fire.
Thieves, liars, and slanderers live in mortal fear of the devastating effects of Sango's punishment as he is believed to abhor such behaviors.
IFÁ MESSAGE FOR A PERSON WHO CASTED OGBÈ-ATẸ̀ (OGBÈ ÌRETÈ)
Ifa advises a child of Ogbe-ate or a person who casted Ogbè-atẹ to perform sacrifices of victory. There are enemies both from home and at work who are working against the greatness of this person. Ifá says that these enemies are trying to get rid of this person from the earth surface. If this person can perform the sacrifices and become vigilant by paying more attention to his environment, he would triumph.
Listen to how Ifa speaks the wisdom:
Ọ̀sán ìbá dòru lójú afojú fẹ́ni
Òjò ìbá dẹ̀ẹ̀rùn lójú òokaran
Òjò ìbá mọ́ tirọ̀ lójú akéérú

THE STORY
It was Orunmila who went to consult Ifá. He was being annihilated from every angle. He sensed that some group of enemies were having evil plans against him. Orunmila was having dreams of impeding dooms. These enemies wanted to kill him. They wanted to wipe away the existence of Orúnmìlà from the Earth surface.
Orunmila called his Babalawo one day to consult Ifá for him. He could live long on the Earth and overcome the trouble of his enemies was why he consulted Ifa. The Ifá Priests advised Orúnmìlà to perform sacrifices that he would defeat all his enemies and would live long on Earth.
Orúnmìlà performed the sacrifices recommended for him. After the sacrifice, the Ifá Priests prepared AKOSE Ifá medicine for Orúnmìlà to be using. He started using it to bath.
Not quite long, all the enemies of Orúnmìlà back down. They couldn't harm Orunmila again. They became powerless. Orúnmìlà lived long on the Earth and continue to live. This was how Orunmila defeated his enemies who were planning to destroy his existence.
Ìwúre: Ifá will make you live long on Earth and help you to accomplish your missions.
