Dafá (Ifá Oracle Divination) reveals the sacred Odù Ìdí Òtúrá (also known as Odí Òtúrá), accompanied by Iré, a blessing of good fortune. The influence of Òrìṣà Ọṣun is especially prominent at this time; she is guiding us toward success by gently pushing us beyond our comfort zones. It is a favorable period to take action and complete essential tasks, but progress will only come through deliberate effort. Do not wait passively for blessings to arrive; they are available, but they must be harvested through initiative and resolve.

​

Ìdí Òtúrá also carries a caution: be mindful of overindulgence, especially when it comes to alcohol, sugary drinks, or comfort foods. What we might call "emotional eating" is spiritually and physically disruptive under this sign. Left unchecked, it may result in long-term consequences affecting your digestive and cardiovascular health. Now is the time to be proactive about your well-being, too. Follow dietary advice, stay hydrated, exercise, and practice moderation in all things.

​

Additionally, the appearance of Ìdí Ìrẹtẹ̀ (also known as Odí Ìrẹtẹ̀) reinforces the message of Iré. This Odù affirms that consistent hard work will be rewarded. It encourages perseverance, assuring you that your current efforts will bear fruit in the near future. Do not be discouraged if you don't see it right away; you must keep working at it.

​

Lastly, the senior Odù, Òfún Méjì (also known as Òràngún Méjì), emerges in this reading for success and spiritual fulfillment, particularly through compromise and patience. Success under this Odù is not won through force or rigidity, but through a willingness to give and take, to adapt like the river flows around obstacles. This time is especially promising for women seeking to conceive; the energies at play are fertile and supportive of new beginnings.

​

In summary, this week invites us to be diligent, disciplined, and open-hearted. The blessings are near, but we must align our habits and attitudes with the path of balance and growth. Ọṣun's grace will open doors, but it is up to us to walk through them.

​​

The reading for this week refers you to the following ẹsẹ Ifá (Ifá Divination verse) as the "take-away" wisdom for this week's reading.​​​​

​

"A father wishes a child well. A mother wishes a child well. Longevity and old age depend on Ẹ̀dú (Ọ̀rúnmìlà). Ifá divination was performed for Olúyẹmi, who was advised to sacrifice to prevent suffering from a disease of the buttocks. The sacrifice: a pigeon, a hen, a cock, and ejá aro (mudfish), eighteen thousand cowries, and Ifá medicine. Refer to Ẹsẹntayẹ́ or Itẹfá readings regarding Èèwò (taboo): this person must not eat kola nuts or meat, but could use fish or snails for cooking his soup. A young person starting a new relationship should first seek the blessing of their parents."

​​​

Please make the following Ebó (sacrifice/offering) to your for Ọṣun as revealed by Ìrẹtẹ̀ Ọ̀kànràn.

​

• An orange, as revealed by Òtúrá’dí (also known as Òtúrá Ìdí).

• Honey, as revealed by Ìdí Ọ̀wọ́nrín.

• Cut the orange into pieces and pour some honey over them.

• Always taste the honey in front of Ọṣun, or she won't accept it.

• Note: to ensure that offerings and prayers reach their destination and return with blessings, we always give a taste to Èṣù. In this case, give Èṣù some hot (spicy) honey as he prefers offerings with heat.

​​​​​​​​​​​

Until next time, blessings to you all!​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​

General Reminder: When making any Ebó (offerings), always offer a taste to Èṣù first, who is the divine messenger and takes your prayers and offerings to their destination. Or you could make some other offering to Èṣù that he would like better.
