Dafá (Ifá Oracle Divination) revealed Ìwòrì Wotúrá (Ìwòrì Òtúrá) this week, arriving with Irẹ̀ (on-path, good fortune) specifically for destiny.

​

Think of destiny as a blueprint inscribed on the crown of your head, where Orí—your conscious self—resides. It outlines the experiences your soul seeks to cultivate Ìwà-Pẹ̀lẹ̀ (kind and gentle character). Whenever destiny appears in a reading, you should cool and honor your Orí: sprinkle cool water, or you can also anoint with coconut or shea butter.

​

Ìwòrì is a passionate energy; it brings intense, transformative experiences—excellent for growth, but also prone to overstimulation and overthinking. However, Òtúrá shows that your response is calm and measured, creating a harmonious interaction with others that draws in blessings. Much of the overstimulating energy may arise around children and young people; remember that they don't have the same level of experience and wisdom that you have, so be a good role model.

​

Symbolically, Ìwòrì is associated with the eyes—the power to see things as they are. With Irẹ̀ present, this points to inner insights (wisdom) that grant you sound judgment. This is a result of remaining calm and allowing yourself time to look within for answers. Note that the Ìkín (palm nuts) used in divination bear "four eyes": one pair looking outward, the other inward. Creatures of the night—like the àdán (bat)—are born on this sign.

​

The Irẹ̀ is further affirmed by Ìdígbè (Ìdí Ogbè), signaling your ability to avoid trouble by staying spiritually aligned with your destiny path. Ogbè’Túrá (Ogbè Òtúrá / Ogbè Alárá) underscores the necessity of Èbọ (sacrifice/offering) for remaining in harmony. As the Odù says, "there is no peace without sacrifice." The Òrìṣà also recognizes your sincere effort to develop Ìwà-Pẹ̀lẹ̀ (kind and gentle character), and takes special notice of your kindness to others—whether giving something tangible or offering your time and care.

​

Finally, Yemọja steps forward as the guide this week, as indicated by the senior Odù, Òfún Méjì (Òràngún Méjì). She is a nurturing and protective Òrìṣà, and since the reading mentioned young people, it implies that you'll need to be more like Yemọja when it comes to dealing with 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 crooked wood disperses the fire. A madman scatters his own home. This was the Ifá divined for the father snake and his children. He was told his children would never agree to unite to ward off an attack. If the father snake wanted them to unite, he must offer a sacrifice: sixteen snails, pigeons, poison, and sixteen cowries. They refused to sacrifice."​

​​

One interpretation of the above ẹsẹ Ifá is that children and young people need direction. Take a good look at the young people in your life who could benefit from your knowledge and wisdom.

​

Blessings!

​​​​​​​​

Please make the following Ebó (sacrifice/offering) to Yemọja. 

​​​

• Watermelon as revealed by Ìdí’wòrì (also known as Ìdí Ìwòrì).​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

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.
