Ibori is a very simple but powerful ritual that can be done to connect with your

Ori while ritually cleansing and feeding it.


The ritual presented below has been presented in basic form. When Ibori is
performed by a Babalawo or Orisa priest, it often becomes a much more involved
endeavor.
However, for the sake of simplicity, the basic ritual has been presented here. It
is also important to note that the ability to divine is an important part of
performing Ibori, as you can determine:
� Whether an Ibori needs to be performed?
� What specific offerings your Ori needs?
� Whether your Ori has accepted the offerings after they have been made?
IFA Divination: One can determine this by learning the 16 major Odu IFA positions
using Op�le or Ikin as they provide very deep and super clear from IFA.
The Ikin or Opele must be fully consecrated before being engaged for IFA
divination.
NOTE: Consult a renowned Babalawo to consecrate your Ikin or Opele.
messanger of Olodumare that link both heaven and earth), there is Esu Ebita which
normally do evil, that may be the devil that can be compare to the Christian devil.
In Yoruba spirituality and culture. Esu Elegbera is represent by Yangi ( latrite).
It must be stress here that many item like sigidi (moulded clay). That many
practicing Babalawo or spiritualist with shallow knowledge and technical know-how
of Ifa cosmology do use to symbol and represent Esu Elegbara is not acceptable as
Esu Elegbera. Sigidi (molded clay )can never be used to represent Esu Elegbera.
Sigidi is a molded clay with which is usually mold in human image , it will get
head, eyes, nose, ear, hand , navel and sometime even leg, this is known as sigidi
not Esu Elegbera. This mistake must be corrected as we still see many practicing
Babalawo who still use mistaken sigidi and Esu as the same thing . This must be
corrected for future and posterity.Yang(Latrite )is the correct symbol Of Esu
Yangi.it in this vain that Babalawo Obanifa will in this work explain and document
in detail how to consecrate Esu yangi.

Ewe Esinsin( leaves of Trageia Tenuifolia or Tenufolia Tragia Spathulata)
Ewe Abamoda ( Resurection plant with scientific name Bryophylum Pinnatum).

Take the leave of Trageia Tenufolia And resurrection plant together, use water to
squeeze it to obtain it juice. Use the water to wash the Yangi. Dig a hole were you
want to put the Esu Yangi. Grind the Imi ojo to fine Powder. Pour it inside it and
use it to imprint Odu ifa Ogunda Ogbe also known as Ogundabede thus:
