It will be recalled that Orunmila was the divinity who inherited the divine necklace of authority (Ude) when God was going to evaporate into thin air.

One day, Orunmila felt so disillusioned that he decided to pound yam by himself.

When the other divinities saw him, they asked what the matter was and he replied that he was so disgusted with the dishonesty of human beings that he did not know who to trust to pound his yam rightly.

When they reminded him that it was forbidden to wear the necklace of authority and do manual labour, he replied that they should not
worry because the condition of the world would improve for better in spite of the evil inclinations of man.

When this Odu comes out at divination for a person who has fallen from grace to grass, he should be told to have his own Ifa and not to worry unduly about his present situation, his condition would improve later for the better

Does that mean the person will be asked to pound yam as Etutu?
Can one get hold of the Odu in written form?

What is Etutu

Etutu means taboo.

Every powerful charm has etutu (taboo).

Don't be deceived by some witch doctors who advertise charms without side effects (etutu) just to lure in customers to patronize them

AnonyNymous:
What is Etutu

NO, you will not be asked to pound yam. You don't fully understand this itan, do you?

It is forbidden for a Babalawo to pound yam or have you seen a Babalawo that pound yam?

But can a babalawo can eat pounded yam?

What's the meaning of he should be told to have his own Ifa?

I don't understand your question. Ask your question properly so that I can understand you

Yes babalawos can eat pounded yam and "having your own Ifa" means having Ifa in your house or shrine

It seemed like Orunmila was in the mood for some cardio
