Ifa said bit by bit we can eat the head of the rat. Ifa said that it is time to reorganize yourself. To set priorities and goals. To move one by one until you achieve your destiny. You have been very fortunate, but lately peoples envious eyes are upon you. You have to be patient because sometimes you say you want to go far away. You could go on a trip where you might meet a person who will truly help you. It also said that there is a person in your life which ruins all of your plans. Sometimes you feel a pain in your head. It also said not to lend an ear to gossip since the person who is bringing it to you then leaves your house saying something different, therefore involving you in the gossip.that you came to this world to govern and not to be governed, yet you run from your own destiny. It said that you are lacking everything at this moment. You may even have to move. It also said that you have an Elegua and if not so then you must receive it. It said that you have (3) three siblings, you also see shadows in your house often. Your good fortune is near you, but for it to come you must do several things first to achieve it. One of the things being feeding your front door for the good fortune to come, also ask if you must offer an akuko to the garbage.

Ifa said that you threw or will throw your spouse out, but it is advised that you don't because you will go through a lot of difficulties. If it is a young woman being read, it said that you will have two admirers in your life, but the one you love is the darkest of the two. You have to do (3) three baths using (3) three different bowls, so that you may achieve what you desire. It said that the person being read does not have a set godmother in mind for Ocha. It said that your parents and grandparents are deceased and wish to take you with them. You must do ebo with a rattlesnake.
that the person being read has hidden business. It marks a court case. A promised marriage that wasn't achieved. You have (3) three things that are all mixed up. You also adore the Orishas. That you are a person that will live for a long time and will be prominent within your social circle. And you will have good fortune if you follow the saints and Orunmila.

Ifa said that if it is a woman who is being read she has a sharp tongue and does not allow the spouse any freedom, he is soon to leave her. It said that he is constantly forsaking her since she is a woman who is arrogant and vain. And if you do not do ebo you will not be able to keep him in the house.
that if it is a man you have to be careful with illness in the blood or a venereal diseases. If it is a woman being read you must check your female organs since they may not be well. It also said that the person desires to be married but does not understand why her admirers leave her. You must do ebo if you wish to get married. It also said that you have to take care of an Egun that accompanies you. Since you don't take care of this Egun he is turning things against you, you must offer masses and a glass of water, efun, sugar, coco butter and cover with a piece of cotton and put it up high.
that the person being read is possibly looking to bear children and can not concieve or that they die. That you should not go to wakes, funerals or to hospitals.

Ifa Verses
Orunmila said it should be done bit by bit, I say it should be done bit by bit, that we should eat the head of the rat and the fish, bit by bit. The hand reaches much higher than the head. Orunmila said that we should not allow the person for whom this figure was cast to be forgotten. This person wants to do something, and with the help of Ifa he will complete his row, and it will be accomplished.
banana wanted to have children and could not, she went to Ifa and he said she should offer a sacrifice in order to have children. She offered four fish, four rats and four pots. And became the mother of many children. Ifa said this person came in search of many children.
Ifa said this person will live to be very old. He said that as we never see young vultures, even so this person will become very old.

Vulture asked what he needed to do to live to an old age, he went to Ifa and offered a sacrifice and sprinkled irosun powder on his head, it became white like a person whose hair is turning gray. From that time on vultures head is white, and he looks like his hair is gray. We can not tell the difference between young and old vultures, because the heads of both look gray.
Ifa said there is a women who is insolent to her husband. She should be very considerate of her husband, because he is planning to punish her. Therefore she should make six loaves of pounded yams; she should wash her husbands clothes; she should wash the walls and floor of her house; and she should take a pot of maize beer to the place where he keeps his Ifa,

Ore was the only wife of Agbonniregun but she did not love him at all. When he went out in public ore would insult him, she refused to prepare food for him. Finally when Agbonniregun saw his wife’s true character, he got ready and gave her away to death, disease, loss, poverty and punishment by making bad medicine to cause this. On that very day Ore went to sleep and had a dream; when dawn came she went to Ifa to be examined. He said that to avoid the bad medicine she must take his clothes and wash them, clean the house and walls twice and prepare six loaves of pounded yams and take them to his Ifa.
when Ore had done all these things, Agbonniregun came home and saw all that she had done. And removed the bad medicine against her, it was in this way the ore escaped from the things set against her.

Ebo: 2 adie dudu, eyele, porrones melli, an arrow, 1 elese apuani, icode juju, and the person should not be outside at night.
Ebo: 1 eyele, 1 adie, acordie, ekute, akuko, 1 machete and one guataca.
Ebo: 16 kolas, 3 adie, 1 black dish, 1 big calabash, (this is for the sick person.)
Ebo: So that Eshu releases the ties to a person: 1 akuko to the garbage, 1 akuko to the corner, 1 akuko to the Elegua of the house.

 

Proverbs

Ifa says:
You state your case in the morning and you are not vindicated, and at nightfall you plead with the king to delay a bit and listen to what you have to say; isn't what you have to say in the evening the same thing you said in the morning?
