Reigning Orisha: Ogún
The Ilé Iyamí Oshún Muyiwá informs that in keeping with our tradition, the annual reading of our house disclosed the figure of Ogbé/Ejionilé (Ejiogbé).
Among the orisha that speak through this Odú, Ogún was identified as the “owner” of year. Therefore, we will have two procedures, one for Ogbé/Ejionilé, and another one because Ogún is Asiwajú Odú.
The year under the guidance of Ogbé/Ejionilé is a year of unification and lending aid. The individual who keeps to him or herself [or is selfish] will not be successful. Society will have to be evaluated and agreements and decisions will have to be collective.
Proverbs of Ogbé/Ejionilé’s for the year 2003
- Iroko and Afomo live together. When Afomo joins Iroko, it they will have no other choice but to grow old together. Significance: People should not be loose-handed with their belongings nor should they separate from loved ones.
- Whoever opposes Ogbé/Ejionilé will be punished with serious consequences.
Ewó: Do not wear red, black or dark colored clothing. Do not drink palm wine. Do not eat rooster, akasá/ekó that has been wrapped up in banana leaves. Do not kill mice or rats.
Ebó: 8 cobs of corn, efún, orí, cotton, white cloth, honey, smoked fish, and smoked ekuté
Procedure: Slightly roast the corncobs over live coal. Afterward, sprinkle them with water containing orí and honey. Place them in a white basin or bowl, and sprinkle efún, the fish and the ekuté on top. Cover it all with cotton and place it at the foot of Oshanlá (Obatalá) for eight days. Light two candles. After eight days, wrap it with the white cloth and take it to a cool area in a forest and place it at the foot of a large tree.
Ogún:
Every first day of the month make sacrifices for Ogún, at the very least a rooster with the appropriate food offerings. The obí that is cast will have to be shared amongst all those who attend the sacrifice.
Observation: Do not to forget to sacrifice to Eshú.
