He ordered an Ebó with: rooster, 2 doves, 2 white sheets, and other ingredients.

The bat performed the Ebó and the next day it sprouted its wings. Thinking that with that it had solved its
problem, he never returned to Orúnmila's house, and he was left without an address, not knowing how to distinguish the

History.

Yube was a young boy who lived with his parents and led a very stagnant life, contrary to
his aspirations, as he wanted to prosper and have wealth.

Thus, that young man gathered his clothes and set out to seek his fortune. He arrived at a place in the countryside where
there was uncultivated land. Yube began to inquire whose lands those were, in his investigations
he met a man who told him not to bother with those lands as he would waste his time,
well, those lands were unproductive. However, the boy went to see the owner of those lands, who
he lived in a very luxurious and large house. When he arrived, Eshu welcomed him at the door and the boy said
he wanted to speak with the owner, to which Eshu replied by asking who he was and where he was from.
I was coming.

Yube responded immediately: -I am of the path and through it I seek my steadfastness and my future,
something that gives me the prosperity that I desire and need.
Eshu replied: -Well, I will take you to where the owner is. It turned out to be Orúnmila.

He went to Orúnmila and asked him to provide the lands he had seen, so that in this way

Yube replied to him. Orúnmila then said: -If what you say is true, I will give you the lands and I...
I will provide everything you need to work on it.

In a short time, Yube began to work tirelessly, and after a few months, all that
the land had changed, everything was blooming and thriving more each day, however when least expected
I was hoping, bad weather came and destroyed everything.

Yube, not losing faith and enthusiasm, returns to where Orúnmila was to inform him of what happened.
When Yube had finished that story of what happened, Orúnmila said to him: -"you regret it." And
Yube replies: -No sir, and if you allow me, I will start over. To which Orúnmila responds.

Yube performed the ritual and began to sow the lands again, which in a short time were
abundant in crops, and the riches of Yube began to be fostered and to grow.

As time went by, Yube began to feel proud of the work done. One day he found himself
again with Eshu and he despised him. Eshu continued on his way and met Shangó, to whom he gave the
complaints about Yube's behavior. From that moment on, all the crops began to dry up.

Having seen that with wonder, he went to where Orúnmila was and told him what was happening.
Orúnmila answered him: - you have to pay attention to Eshu before anyone else and ask him what he wanted,
to undo the harm he had done to him and to ask for forgiveness.

Thus Yube did, and Eshu asked him for a goat and a sack of corn. Yube fulfilled Eshu's request and all his...

The dog, upon hearing all those things, doubted Orúnmila and replied: -I live alone and peacefully and I do not
I don't get involved with anyone, it's hard for that to happen to me. The dog left and didn't do the ebo.

After some time, the dog was presented with another dog in a state of gestation, where she asked her to give her
shelter for a few days until she gave birth. At first, the dog refused, but the dog that was in

Days went by and the dog had already given birth to her puppies, and one day when the dog owner got up
The house said: - Well, you can leave now, for I see your dogs playing freely. The mother dog.
The puppies looked at her and said with great fury: - "Dare to take us out of here if you are brave." The
dogs stopped their snouts waiting for the owner's reaction.

In this situation, the dog ran to Orúnmila's house, and upon seeing her again, he had the same

you said that you lived alone and quietly and without getting involved with anyone and that nothing would happen to you, so that not

EBO: rooster, 2 quails, liquor, hutia and smoked fish, corn, ekó
cocoa butter and corojo, male doll, river sand,
a lot of money.

History.

Ogún was a strong man, son of Oduduwa, born to kill, in the land of Iyessá. One day Ogún was
from his land to Ilé-Ife with the title of Alapa (The great hunter), to achieve the liberation of his land
from the tyranny that Obatalá Obalufón exercised over her. Oraniyan along with Ogun fought against
Obatalá Obalufón withdrew, leaving Oraniyan as the king of that city.

Ogún spent several months there, but he decided to move to a hill nearby called ILU.
INA INLE, the people from there worshipped INA (candle) as an Ancestral God. One day Ogún had
desires to drink aguardiente and asked the people who lived in that town, and none responded.
He grew enraged as the days went by and no one solved his aguardiente.

One day a person told Ogún that there was a man named Olúo Osanyin called Aparo and that he was the
responsible for no one giving him the aguardiente, this Olúo Osanyin was the husband of the Goddess of
river called IGAN IDAN (Ibú Aparo).

67
Then furious Ogún took his machete and went to find Aparo to kill him, but since he was Olúo
Osanyin began to sing:

YOU HOME IS YOUR PERSONALITY

EDUNSI APARO KOBEO

Then he transformed into a quail and flew to the crown of a palm tree. Ogun that
I wanted to catch the quail (Aparo), but I couldn't, it went to the house of Orúnmila who saw this Ifá.
he said: - The owner of this land ILU INA, is an Orisha named Akinoro and also called Akintaro,
What is a fierce Osainista, who has the ability to transform into a quail, and you have to perform Ebó.
to be able to capture it.

Ogún made the ebó marked by Orúnmila, and then placed the ebó in the palm. Aparo could not fly and
Then Ogun took advantage and sent his sons to cut down the palm until they could capture Aparo.
When they caught him, they tortured him, but Aparo said nothing, enduring the torture, and when he was...
dying, he called to Obatalá, and he passed a shell over his head; That is why the quail has a
white list in his head and when he was agonizing, he told Obatala to take him to the river; when they took him
to the river, there IGAN IDAN picked him up, revived him, and stayed living with her.

Ogun, seeing that the people of ILU INA did not give him the aguardiente, killed almost all of them and did not return.
Several days in that land, for fear of getting sick, but when he returned, he went to acknowledge the land ILU INA.
and saw that the palm that he had ordered his sons to top in order to capture Aparo was flowing
wine, from the bud. He took a cup and collected a little, he drank it and saw that it was what he wanted,
then he thought that the secret was in the blood of his enemy Aparo; then he got scared and returned to
house of Orúnmila, who said to him: - This is the secret of the blood of EGUN OLOFUN, which lives inside
from the Palm. They held ceremonies for the palm so that the palm wine would always be the
spirit of the blood of Obatalá, which is what causes the children of the ORISHAS to lose their minds,
to remind you of the offense they had with Obatalá. That's why since then Aparo (the quail) lives with
Oshún and the drink disturb the minds of those who consume it.

6- The flaw of the owl.

History.

The owl was made queen to reign and govern. In this time, the owl kept everything
her faculties, but the defect she had was that she would fall asleep during the day. Because of that, it arose
many enemies, but one of them, the Kestrel, which was a cursed and mischievous bird, began to
to tell the other birds that he was the brother of the Owl and that she had given him the power
so that he would reign.

The Kestrel took advantage of the situation to rule by day, while the owl was oblivious to all of this.
She slept during the day. At night when she woke up, the Kestrel that ruled during the day was already
sleeping. That’s how the complaints of the birds began.

These complaints reached the ears of Olofin, and he sent for the Owl and asked her: -What is it that
What's happening that all the birds are complaining about you? The owl replied that she
governed very well. Where Olofin, seeing that this was not true due to the large number of complaints,
He cursed and said to him: - From now on, you will only sleep during the day and you will only go out at night.

On the island of Boni Boshe lived a woman named Eni Boshe who was the daughter of Olokun and Oyá. In that
There was always a very strong wind in the land, but the residents there had blind faith in Eni Boshe.
Everyone loved her and respected her as if she were their own mother, because there was never a lack of luck there.

At seven in the evening, which was the hour of the prayer, they made supplications with different kinds of
basilicas and lit a candle in the center of the town, praying and calling thus:

Everyone pleaded for secrecy but Eni Boshe wanted to have a child and BABA KUELE YEKUN presented himself to her,
this one took her to the secret and they made an oath and Omo Boshe was born. Since he was born they had
many difficulties, because Iya Eni Boshe became very fond of her son, she gave him all her luck in the
world, because he knew that his father would not fulfill his duty to his son. Baba Kuele Yekun left that land and
he left it abandoned. Knowing what could happen, he went out on the road and sang:

The child of a wise person is a treasure.

I entered the land of Belelekun Loye where there lived an Awó named Awo Ayeyele, when they entered.
He said: - let's consecrate your son. He took him to where Obatalá was with 8 doves and a large calabash.

Tomorrow and afterwards, he must go to Ifá to have good luck.

When Ifá was made in the secret, they were given quail and guinea fowl with this song:

THE DAY THAT THE BIRD SINGS IS A MELON

They killed the banana and he was tasting the blood.

When they killed the quail, they sang:

A DAY OF CELEBRATING DIVERSITY IN CULTURE

They did Ifá for him and drew Ika-Folguero and thus the Olúo Awó Ayeyele in Ifá took him where Obatalá was.
