A pataki of Ejiogbe-Idi

THE AWAKENING OF ORUMILA

Early in the morning Ogbe di arrived at Orunmila's house around six in the morning. Yeyematero
received him and he said: Oshun sends me with the task of awakening Orunmila. Yeyematero, watching
him carefully, said: 'Well, wake him up.'

Ogbe di knelt in front of Orunmila and without touching him he said the prayer that Oshun had given
and taught him.

Orunmila woke up peacefully and at that moment Oshun and Ogun knocked on the door and Orunmila
said: Iboru, Iboya, Iboshishe.

Who is that young man who knows so much? Yeyematero replied: He is Ogbe di Awo of the Iyefasa land
and from today he will replace Ogbe SA in the task of awakening you and will be the owner of
knowledge, and since then Ogbe di is wise and great and the one in charge of awakening Orunmila with
his prayer for the mornings.
