Èjì Ogbè (baba Ifa) by Babalawos(m): 6:29am On Sep 23, 2016 |
Aboru Aboye, today I will be teaching you Èjì Ogbè (Baba Ifa). I am dedicating this post to PASTOR AIO and other Ifa devotees who asked me for Èjì Ogbè (Baba Ifa) lessons which is a very wide topic. Make yourself comfortable as I unravel the mysteries of Èjì Ogbè (Baba Ifa) Èjì Ogbè (Baba Ifa) PART ONE Èjì Ogbè (Baba Ifa) symbolizes all that is known and unknown in the universe. It is an image of all the forces that create the day. Eji Ogbe is the sign of life. A vigorous awakening Eji Ogbe rules the head - facing east Physical Element = Water... Water takes precedence of all other Elements. It is recognized as the "Father of the Elements." Physical body element = Brains and nerves Children would be disposed to be travelers, pioneers, sailors or heads of organizations This odu denotes plenty of good and plenty of "evil." Eji Ogbe speaks of the positive and negative forces that permeate the earth. This odu explains that both good and bad aspects of life are interconnected in fulfilling our destiny. "eji n mo gbe n go gbe enikan" (I support the positive and negative dimensions of every issue in life). Every positive thing must be counterbalanced by an equal negative. This is why although we all aspire to be within the energy of EjiOgbe, we must do ebo (sacrifice) to protect us from the negative. Eji Ogbe expresses a need to acquire wisdom and humility. Represent high ethical standards which will be rewarede with enlightement and abundance. Time heals the pain of any matter. We have cut off our own head to make us grow, like the banana tree. The hands belong to the body, the feet belong to the body. Victory over enemies, spiritual awakenings, long life, and peace of mind. Eji Ogbe alerts us to the importance of medicines (akose) and incantations (ofo). TWO TYPE OF INCANTATIONS (OFO) POSITIVE INCANTATIONS (OFO) Ofo rere or ogede NEGATIVE INCANTATIONS (OFO) Asaan Herbal concoctions that may also include other elements - animal or mineral..... etc are used in conjunction with the power of the word (ofo ase) to cure illnesses, control natural phenomena...... etc. INCANTATIONS EXPLAINED BY BABALAWO Incantations are powerful and the awo must protect herself. There are several classes of protection. The following is an incantation from protection from negative kickback: Ofu la a pasan Arabamu la ape ogede A dia fun Orunmila Nijo t'iku ohun arun nkan 'le baba ni lilo Orunmila ni bo ba se pe bi ise ti omo tohun ba ni Odundun ni ki ibi o ma lee dun nile e mi Ko ma lee dun lara a mi Tete lo ni ki ibi o ma lee te ile e mi Ko ma lee te ona mi Ibi tutu la a ba rinrin Ero pese ni tigbin Igbin o nile olojo o wo EjiOgbe, gbe ibi kuro lori i mi! Gbede ni ide igba olorii! ase Ofu is the name of asaan (negative incantation) arabamu is the name we call ogede (positive incantation) They were the ones who performed Ifa divination for Orunmila When death and disease besieged his house All evil forces lurked around his house Orunmila said if it was for him and his children Odundun says the evil should not be in my house And should not come near my body Tete has said that no evil should befall my house And that no evil should befall my body Rinrin is seen only in a cool place Snail is always cool Snail has no house where evil forces can enter Eji Ogbe remove evil from me Shea butter container is always at ease ase CAUTION ~ It is dangerous to use invocations if you are not pretty good at the pronunciation, so one must be careful in this area.

PART TWO EJIOGBE Ejiogbe I originally translated to mean spirit of giving but on further consideration ogbe is more likely an elision of o egbe meaning spirit of the group or spirit of all consciousness that ever existed so because consciousness comes from the Creator I believe ogbe is another word for Olodumare. EJI The word eji means first so ejiogbe from the elision eji o egbe meaning the first spirit of collective consciousness which is another referecence to Olodumare. The inference is when ejiogbe appears in divination it means the person is in alignment with Olodumare meaning in alignment with destiny. IFA ORATORY Ifa says: ayanmo ni iwa pele iwa pele ni ayanmo IFA ORATORY MEANING Meaning destiny is good character and good character is destiny. That is however a generic translation the elision is ayan mo ni iwa ope ile iwa ope ile ni ayan mo meaning the sacred tree of the ancestors is the way I greet the earth, the way I greet the earth is through the sacred tree of the ancestors. This is a poetic reference to our connection to all consciousness that has ever existed and that connection is called ogbe in Yoruba. ORÍKÌ EJIOGBE (Invocation For A Pleasant Life) Oniyanriyanri, Awo Osan, kutukutu, Awo Owuro, nwon yinta werewere n’igbo ologbin. The Priest of the Afternoon, the Priest of the Morning both gourged themselves with alligator-pepper grains. Commentary: priests of the day represent the cycles of life. To gourge yourself with alligator pepper grains is to eat the offering that creates ofo ase meaning the power of the word or the ability to pray effectively. So ejiogbe places a person in alignment with destiny and that alignment give us the ability to pray effectively. INCANTATION Nwon m’apo elefundere, nown fi d’eru igede kale. From the lump at the forest of Ologbin they loaded a bag of powerful incantations. Commentary: this is a reference to a power spot in Obatala’s sacred grove which also gives a person the ability to pray effectively. Nwon ni ki gbogbo ewe igbo wa gbe e. They asked the forest leaves to come and carry. Commentary: the first step in any Ifa Orisa ritual is to clean the sacred objects with leaves. Nwon f´ope entori nwon o le gbe e. The forest leaves fled helter-skelter because they could not carry the bag. Commentary: this is a reference to the idea that not all leaves are effective for ritual purposes. Odundun ni oun yio gbe e. But Odundun leaf said he would carry it. Commentary: odundun from the elision Odun Odun the word Odun means year, in Yoruba when you repeat a word it means the eternal source of that thing so Odun Odun is a reference to the beginning of time or the transcendent element in any ritual. The transcendent element is the moment when human consciousness experiences connection with the Immortals. Nwon ni; “Iwo odundun t’o farajin late gbe eru egede yi iwoni yio dara ju gbogbo ewko lo. ¨ Then they said; “Odundun leaf, you who agree to carry this load of incantations shall be the best of all the forest leaves.” Commentary: this question is actually an invocation asking the Immortals to come to the ritual. Nigbati o kan gbogbo eku oko. When it was the turn of the forest rats. Commentary: this is a coded reference to the idea that forest rats are not offered to Ifa is the ebo for ejiogbe. Nwon sa ago nikan l’o gba lati gbe e lojo naa. They fled and it was Ago and rat that agreed to carry the load. Commentary: this is a coded reference to the idea that Ago rats are used as offerings for ejiogbe. Ojo naa ni edumare dahun pe; “Iwo, eku ago ni yio dara ju gbogbo eku inu igbo lo.” It was on the day that the Creator said to the rat; “Ago you shall be the best of all the forest rats.” Commentary: this is further confirmation of the ebo. Bee naa ni gbogbo lodulodu, nwon sa, nwon ko je gbe e. In the same way all the Odu fled and refused to carry the load. Commentary: every Odu involves the choice between ire and ibi. Ejiogbe l’o gbe el’ojo naa. It was the Supporter who carried it on that day. Commentary: this is the saying that alignment with Olodumare and the development of iwa pele is the way to transform ibi into ire. Carrying the load is a poetic reference to the challenge of transformation. Lati ojo naa lo l’o ti di wipe Ejiogbe ni Oba lori gbogbo Odu. From that day the Supporter became Chief of all the Odu. Commentary: ejiogbe is the Chief of all Odu because it represents perfect alignment with destiny and alignment with destiny is the point of all divination. Lagbaja d’odundun l’oni. K’o tu fun un, k’o ba fun un. And so it is like the odundun leaf today. Let his life be comfortable. Commentary: alignment with destiny brings a blessing of abundance, good health and children or family. K’aiye re dara. K’ogede aasan at’epe me se lagbaja nibi o. Ase. Let his life be pleasant. We praise the Supporter. May it be so. Commentary: alignment with destiny is the purpose of life so when we are in alignment with destiny we receive a blessing of peace. ese (verses) In Eji Ogbe, barren women are blessed with children after sacrifice! Two words have spoken Two tasks have given themselves to me The road is open Good medicine stays EBO (SACRIFICE) TO CURE BARRENESS Told a certain person way back when tears of compassion refused the curse of barreness that she should take a long-neced jar, and when sacrifice was done go to the place where water seeps slowly, slowly until the womb is full. She sipped the dreaming water and they called her child Osun, generous river. Ifa says sacrifice is beneficial, nothing waits for nothing good. Come and see my bouncing newborn baby at the foot of the lord Orisa! Thank you for reading and if you are ready for Èjì Ogbè (Baba Ifa) part three, comment now let me know I have Ifa students reading my post. Èjì Ogbè (Baba Ifa) part three will be the story of how Ori was the only divinity that broke kola nuts that Orunmila kept at his shrine 4 Likes |
