Ifa said that you have a great war but that Ogun and Obatala will win it for you if you put some effort on your behalf doing what the awo said. It said that you have to comply with Egun. That you have to offer him what he wants.

Ifa said do not bear arms of any type that you should not have arguments in the house or drink alcoholic beverages because this makes you a bit crazy. It said that what has happened with you and the young girl in your house since it speaks of seduction or possible rape. It said to keep your word since Ifa said that the word should be kept.

Ifa said do not do favors since they are not appreciated . To be careful because of a favor you could go to prison. It said that your tears should turn into smiles. Something you have lost you will recuperate. It said to respect your elders and do not distrust older people.

Ifa said that you had a sickness that almost caused your death. It said not to go out for seven days since you may have an accident or fight in the street where you might be hit with a bullet or receive a bad beating. It said that you are fighting with a person for the love of a other.

Ifa said that you have to receive Orunmila so that you may have the help of this miraculous Orisha. It said that if you are a man to offer something to the women. That you would like to be don juan. It said that in your house there has been arguments for the last few days for something lost that will reappear.

Ifa said that you have to be careful not to go to jail. That you have something hidden that will be discovered. That you work and work and no one has appreciates it. That you have a lot of obstacles in your path, but they will end when you come closer to the Santo. That if you do not have the warriors to take them as soon as possible.

Ifa said that somebody in your family suffers from infections in the skin or problems with the legs. If this is the case Babaluaye is calling for that person and they have to ask. It said that you will have an argument, but there is a person who will help you win that argument. It said that you will have a high position, possibly a political position. That they will send for you and it will be for your benefit.

One day Olofi, the king, sent for Orunmila. Orunmila was just about to prepare a sacrifice with a chicken, and he could not leave it unfinished. After the sacrifice he shared the chicken with his sons. He gave a wing to iboru, a wing to iboye, and a leg to ibosise. He took his iron walking stick (opa orere) and stuck it in the ground at Olofi’s palace. When he had divined for the king, he returned home. Five days later Olofi sent for him again.
meanwhile, Olofi’s three hunters ( Arisitasi, Arisitasi, and Atamatasi) went to the forest to hunt elephant. They shot an elephant together, but it did not die. It came to the square in front of Olofi’s palace and put its trunk on the palace wall. When they saw this wonder, they called Ogunnipete, the diviner of the house of alara, and ogbontere, the diviner of the ajero, and diviner jewejimo, and diviner apaja oji. They cut open the elephant and in its bowels they found a bundle wrapped in white cloth. Inside it was a covered calabash, and in the calabash they found a new-born babe with a beard and white hair on his head; in each fist were eight palm nuts ( ikin ). Olofi exclaimed that he had never seen such a thing in his life, and then he sent for Orunmila. When Orunmila arrived, Olofi reported what had happened, and Orunmila began to sing:

“what do we call the new-born babe?
“he is the one called ela.
“how can we know the new-born babe?
“he is the one we call ela, son of origi.”
