Basic Dilogun Odi 4i276t

Basic Dilogun Odi: Odi does not have a sacred gesture officially – but some do a gesture where they are rocking a baby or touching one’s tongue and going from side to side. Many people will often avoid talking a lot about Odi for the reason of the gossip. Odi is rife with malicious gossip – the risk here is that this client will go to others and share their reading with others saying “well my diviner said etc.… “ so it is important for you to never name names. The second threat is the other people that are present at the reading and the third is the other people in the house that may be eavesdropping on the reading. Gossip and slander are such a huge issue in Odi you must be vigilant. When Odi falls on the matt one must close all the doors to the room so that everything that is said in this reading needs to stay in the room. Speak quietly and tell everyone that what is said in the room stays in the room. In general it is bad form to speak to anyone about another’s reading. Orishas that speak:            

Yemeya Egun Ogun Ellegua Otin (Yemeya’s servant) Ochossi Babalouaye Obatala Inle Orishaoko Olokun Korikoto (Orishaoko’s brother – compared to scarecrow – active at night – when you have him in your house if anyone sends witchcraft or any osogbo stops at your front door – you have to have Orishaoko first though. There is a whole tribe of Orishaoko Orishas that can be recieved)

In addition to isogui ebo misi made with the leaves of fruit trees can be very helpful – you make the baths to the orishas with the leaves – and spiritual baths to egun using the fruits themselves. There is a spiritual trinity between Odi – Ogunda and Osa – Oche was an afterthought. Odi was meant to be the final odu because it was meant to be the seal on creation, but Oche comes after. The seal was broken by Ogunda – the impenetrable hymen of Odi was torn open was tore open by the brute strength of Ogunda. A seal is something that separates the divine from the banal – like the “To Eban Eshu” it means enough – it is finished – we seal the prayer and ebo. It would take an act of the divine to rip it back open and not just negative thoughts or deeds etc… (Like how osun is sealed on your head with your orisha. ) The actions of Ogunda and Osa are so important to Odi – if the world was sealed and didn’t change – we have Ogunda that tears open the seal and Osa slips in and arranges everything in a different order. Odi was a woman when she manifested on earth. The seal of womanhood and virginity is the hymen. She was a very sexual Odu had an impenetrable hymen – she taught the world to have and enjoy sex but couldn’t do it her self so she created sodomy. It wasn’t until Ogunda came and with his brute force ripped open her hymen that she could enjoy sex the normal way but she already was enjoying anal sex and wasn’t going to give it up. When her hymen ripped her open Osa slipped into the world through her womb. (Interesting comparison between Osa and the Iyami getting to earth). ** 9-9 note sex – the female wanted oral sex so bad and the men wouldn’t give it to them so the vulva began emitting a scent that is irresistible to men for oral sex. Osa meji woman have a powerful ache with the juice in their vulva – they can sell it and it works for everyone. Put it on a cotton and drop it in a perfume bottle and just soray it ion for it to work. **7-4 their favorite thing to do is to go down on their partner orally. **Anal/oral fits in with the odi concept **8-1 was where masturbation was born - those people are crazy for masturbation – they can’t stop (if it’s in an important place in ita). **7-5 you are absolved for lack of proof – so you better keep your act together – these people are very sneaky. If you get 7-5 as a first reading – try to not take them on as a godchild. They will be a pain because they are sneaky.

Ifa Idi is different from Odi and Idi means buttocks. For us Odi meji was a female. In Ifa Idi meji was a male. 7-5 is an odu of parasitic things – this is not always bad though because some of those relationships are mutualistic. A successful parasite / host relationship both parties get something out of it. Elegede was Ochun’s hand servant that she killed and buried (in the corpus of Oche? Or Obara?) When she buried her next to the river the pumpkin sprang from there – that is why there are made 5 cuts along the top of the pumpkin. The pumpkin is where Ochun hides her wealth. In 7-7 Odi is married to the diviner Mofa – Mofa was older than her and could not satisfy her – so she had a lover on the side – the lover was so in love he wanted to take her away – but she would say I can’t leave I amn married and have a child . He told her I have a potion that will slow your heart so slow that everyone wilkl think you are dead. This was when we didn’t buryu the dead , we would wrap them in a white sheet and place themn at the foot oif the Iroko tree and nature would take them away. She took the potion and everyone mourned her as dead. 3 days later the liver came to the tree where she woke up and he took her away with him to the next town. Mofa was a diviner and would get called to other cities to do divination and on one such trip he went to divine for a King and sent the son to the marketplace to entertain himself while he waited. Odi was working in the market place ( selling fruits and vegetables) and had cut her hair short so he didn’t recognize her but when he heard her voice and saw her red nails that were a trademark of hers he knew it was his mother. He was so traumatized that he went back to the kings palace and told them he saw his mother. The king , Mofa and the kings guards all went to the marketplace to see what was going on – they left the son behind. When Mofa saw his wife his heart was broken. In that kingdom at the time that the punishment for adultery was death. When the people found out they stoned not only her but her lover to death and they buried her and buried the lover far away. They told the son when they went back that it was a mistake. 7 days later from the wife of Mofa grew the Malanga plant. Malanga is very important in ebo ate and when we kill the duck. In odi it can be an essential part of your ebos – instead of serving them in a jicara you can serve them on a malanga leaf with the three tips removed to represent the osogbos – eyo – araye and Iku – eyo was the tragedy of her adultery – araye was the gossip of the townspeople when they found out and Iku was when she was put to death. The tips have to be cut off to activate the malanga against these. In 7-7 the name of the husband was Ogun – the wife Oya and the son Ellegua and the lover was Chango – they say in 7-7 the malanga leaf grew from Oya’s body rather than from Odi’s.

Family problems – speak of the mother and the father – it can be the clients’ mother or father or it can be them as mother father – but It addresses the mother first – it also references the child – the client may be the child. If the client is a parent he has to watch over their children carefully – this is an odu of being kidnapped. This client is envied by his own family, Because of this he has to live his life cautiously. Someone in the family is coming to take this person’s position away and someone in this family the client is afraid of. If we reference the client as the parent – then we apply this to their children. Either he has 2 brothers or parents are very envious of him. Could be different family structures but start with the immediate family first and focus on the mother first. There is a schism and this needs to be repaired and if they are alive you need to fix this relationship while they are alive. Spiritually – this person needs to focus on Yemeya and Babalouaye – they are prominent – they should have the elekes of both and should wear them everyday. If you are responsible for a child you have to be careful – you cannot strike them – even a jest-full slap can backfire – if you can get away from taking care of children do it. If you have this odu and you are a man you shouldn’t be alone with anyone else’s children. Be careful of children that are not yours. A kid can fall trip or anything and then you will get in trouble and be investigated. This odu forbids the bouncing of babies. If your mother is alive and Odi falls – her health isn’t as good as you think it is. If she can do a rogacion with 2 fresh coconuts – if she wont do it then you will have to if you want to help her – one rogacion in front of Yemeya and then that is taken off right away and then another in front of Obatala to take away anything you may have picked up from the first one. You have the first one in her name. This is the odu where if your mother is dead you feed her a hen under the sink as a replacement for the river with running water. Feed the ota de muerto and you feed the Ota under the sink. Or take the Ota to the river and feed it there. River runs to the sea and it runs back into the ground. Once you raised your hand to your mother and when she died , she died with that feeling. Odi is the odu of gossip – someone is saying something horrible behind your back which is going to effect your reputation. You are not sleeping well. You are waking up because of dreams. The solution to your problems with gossip lies in these dreams and until now he has not paid attention to these dreams but now he must – these dreams can save his life. If someone comes top the matt and they are poor you can be sure that there are people that make fun of them – but Odi promises that one day they will rise to riches and the people that made fun of them will beg them. Odi can be a slap in the face for the people that make fun of you.

Woman who come in this sign have reproductive harm. They have either aborted or lost a child. She has a sorrow because of this. If a woman is having trouble conceiving ask her about this. If she is having problems conceiving she will have to petition Yemeya and the Ibeji to fix her womb. She is also damaged on the inside from STD’s she didn’t know she had – she might need surgery even. You work somewhere where there is a lot of metal and iron – you have to be careful to not get hurt by accident. You have lost your luck so many times and it is Babalouaye who has the ache to bring your luck back. You dream of living by the sea- you dream of spirits of the sea – you long for the ocean – you should indulge this – Yemeya wants to see you. This person is often uncomfortable in their home because from time to time he sees ghosts sometimes in the corners of his eyes. He needs to get a handle on their egun. You have 3 people in your life that love you but you may not know it. 1 is dangerous and sick – the other 2 are well balanced – but unfortunately the one you choose might be the sociopath. If you have 3 children (notice the number 3) out of those 3 you have one that believes in the orishas – you should do everything to get ocha for you and them. Once that child has ocha done their ache will bring love- luck and blessings to your house. If she is having problems conceiving she will have to petition Yemeya and the Ibeji to fix her womb.

Not every inheritance is a good thing – not just money and property – but diseases – debt – bad name – looks etc .. There is someone in your life that wants you so bad they will work witchcraft to have you. You might be back because of it needing a cleansing. If you have a miscarriage that child will keep coming back to try again – make ebo so your child can re your tribe on earth. An aborted fetus – you feel Obatala Yeku Yeku and Oddua. In Odi Espiritismo and Catholisicm: In Odi you have to work with egun – there is no way around it.    

7-1 Catholic 7-2 Espirit 7-3 catholic 7-4 esppirit



7-5 You can ask for religious direction from Ellegua – if it comes in Osogbo there is a spirit that needs a misa this is the only odu in odi that rejects spirit and Catholicism – the reason is these things take them out of spiritual balance. Lukumi interactions only. They can keep a boveda , but they cannot go to misas Or the catholic church. The only misas are your god families or someone close then its ok. You are like a spiritual sponge (parasite energies are trying top attach)

7-13 Espirit 7-14 Catholic and Espirit 7-15 Catholic 7-16 Catholic and Espirit

The Catholic only Odu are ( in this order):  7-8  7-3  7-15  7-1  7-12  7-11  7-9 The composite odus have an order of seniority – the eldest being 7-8 etc.. as the elder of the odu that recommend – 7-8 is associated with Anya ( spirit of the drum) and abiku ( more than children - like sociopaths and psychopaths) – The birth of malevolent entities – (bad)spiritual phenomena – and Olofi. All born in 7-8 and because there is a current shared by these numbers they all share in this. All these composites follow the theme of Curses- malevolent entities – family spirits – related by blood that are dangerous and life threatening. They speak of family and generational curses. You have to find where the curse began – if everyone dies of a heart attack find the first one and that's where it started. Mental illness – find the first one – that's where the curse began. The assumption that catholic services are necessary comes from the idea that this person is catholic and the spirit that is causing him trouble is also catholic so lukumi services and help wont do a lot for him so it has to catholic. This comes from a period in Colonial Cuba when everyone was catholic. If the person we are trying to help was Lukumi you would use that. But since the people that came to Cuba were catholic – the people that had the original curse was most likely Catholic and it is indicated by this letter. If the people this person came from came from the Congo – you might have to look at palo mayombero to help the spirit. Every religion has a way to honor and deal with it’s dead – you must use that for them. You know you have a family curse so you need to find out what ancestor is causing the problem esp if you have a problem or osogbo elese egun. You can change the course of the family’s history. Even if they come in ire – you know this is an issue. You still speak to them about generational curse. Ellegua will help you to identify them. As priests one of our jobs is to take care of not only our own dead but the dead in general.

Since anya and Olofi are born here the best thing to do is to go to a tambour and dance there – it is a cleansing and ebo – with these numbers it is a good thing to do. Participation in Espiritismo only: 7-2 (the senior of the odu) 7-4 7-13 7-10 What a misa is – is a celebration to enlighten and become stronger spiritually – the spiritual mass is meant to uplift our spirits. These Odu - This is a call to mystical attainment through mystical means through the use and development of psychic powers – you can even include meditation in this. These odu enforce our commitment to our spiritual guides. 7-5 Is by its self – in osogbo – says there is a spirit that needs a misa – you have to limit your attendance with catholic services and misas. Investigate which spirit is needing the misa. Sometimes when we do egun ritual we may even be strengthening ourselves through the egun we name. Positive Position: You need to address reproductive issues esp with women and esp if it is the stronger of the 2 odu ( only 7-5 or possibly 7-7) There are serious issues with her reproductive organs. Her family is not being built the way she wants. If she has had abortions she has damaged herself a little each time. If miscarriages – there may be other more serious health issues. If there are issues she needs to make ebo and medical intervention. In 7-7 the ebo would be to Yemeya and for 7-5 it would be Yemeya and Ochun – rogate the abdomen – she may have a no symptomatic STD that's causing the problem. Rogate the abdomen – lay her down in front of Yemeya and do a rogacion like you would do a normal one – after throw obi to Yemeya or Ochun whoever you are rogating to. Your final throw would go to Ipin Ejun – this is an orisha / chakra that is in the body – it lies in the solar plexus and in the stomach – it is responsible for giving the body energy and it is where the reproductive organs reside. Every time you eat you are feeding Ipin Ejun. Born in 9-9 Rogacion obi – first orisha the egun – olorisha orisha then to leri .

This person as they through the world they will collect many children – godchildren – things to on the world – many sons daughters grandchildren etc.. they have the potential to create gifts for the future generations. This is a very maternal Odu – the woman will be come a matriarch – the church mother – or the church father. These people have sociable tendencies and if they live ion the good side of the odu they build up clans – their houses become social hubs. They may not do a whole lot but they still become famous for who they are. They excel in artistic and political fields because of their talents – because of their labors people come to them for advise. One of the qualities that people like about them is their practical nature – but that they can flip it and become very dreamy and inspirational. Odi in second position: It speaks of gossip and war between women – and if a man he is going to be stuck in the middle. Get your self out of the middle – don't listen to the gossip and don't try to find out what it is because you will only be hurt. This person creates a surrealistic world around themselves and they believe themselves to be something that they are not . They are sleep walking and they really need to wake up. This person has a lot of things they like to do which are turning into life threatening vices – addiction issues. The maternal nature of the odu is so exaggerated that they don’t see the faults of their own kids. Everyone says what the kids are doing and they argue for them because they don’t see it. These are people who would die for their children but they don’t get any love care or respect in return. If you don’t get a handle on your children and see them for who they are – they could end up in jail and on the streets – even for life. Love triangles – infidelities – thanklessness . Reaching for your dreams can turn into nightmares – be careful what you ask for because you get it and then you don’t want it and then you have nothing else to fall back on. In extreme osogbos speaks of sexual fantasies people have towards your client and its becoming an obsession. Thoughts are things and this focus can cause you problems like a love spell – can cause insomnia – could be real spells.

The loss of innocence – the slaughter of it. If you have kids watch them carefully. The people you trust them with be careful with them. Have honest open communication with your children so they will tell you anything that is going on. You area very intuitive person and you know who your enemies are – so when they hurt you - you have to blame your self a little bit – you know who they are – you feel it – you dream it. It their nature to take friends of convenience – you need to nurture a social circle that is more ive spiritually, emotional and physically. Don't just take friends because they have something you want. Always be on the look out for lumps on your testicles. Check them from time to time – its also and odu of torsions. (** in Odi it talks all about the hole – so you should never dig a hole and if you really have to you have to throw something in it so its not you. In Irosun there is a hollow – in the earth there are hollows – in the soul there are hollows – the problem with the hollow – you start to dig a little bit and you don't know the hollow is there and you end up getting swallowed up. – sort of like a sink hole. In Irosun you can have a break up and something bothers you and makes you dig at your self and dig and then before you know it it becomes a huge hole but that was because of the hollow beneath. In Odi you open a hole and fall in.) The first hole that was opened in odi was the grave for Odi ( Oya) in the pataki. In odi digging a hole might be your own hole. ( in 4-4 there are people who wont let everyone leave until they fed the earth) Inle was single and beautiful and spent all his time fishing – on his way into the town he would always bring tons of fish and he would come walking by with lots of money from the fish and she thought he was rich. Oba Loved Inle and even though she was promised to Chango. One day they had been drinking and Inle told her he loved her and she swooned and she saw his one room place – she said I thought you were rich – he said one day we will buy a big house but when she saw the big window overlooking the sea she wanted to sty. She had only known the walls of Obatala’s palace. She gave birth to a child named Osea – she and Inle continued to have sex not realizing that Osea could see them. Oba became frigid at the thought that Osea knew what they were doing. Oba could see that Osea had changed that she didn’t like ( this is 7-4) The one thing Inle liked was to have sex all the time so he went to Orunmilla and Orunmilla could not explain to him that the problem was that they were having sex in front of the child. Orunmilla got tired of explaining and told Inle to just get another wife then. Inle took that top mean get rid of them that night and when he got home sent them away. The only place Oba

could go wan to Obatala who was heartbroken but when he saw the child that started to change until Obatala saw that something was wrong with the child – she had araye on her trail – araye follows lunacy. Obatala couldn’t have this damaged child in his house – Olofi told him this is Chango’s legitimate wife – send her hack to Chango. Chango was a womanizer and didn’t want to be married so he gave her a place to stay on the compound and for Osea – but eventually Chango began to have relations with Oba – no one kew who Oba was. One night a big storm was coming and Oba was riding Chango like a bull. Osea’s lunacy began to rise. She trusted Chango but when she went to the room where they were Osea broke. She fell inside her own hollow and that's when araye possessed her and she went mad. When Osea went mad Obatala sent for Abata Inle’s sister – they had had a falling out – she didn't know about Inle’s wife or her niece. Olofi sent Abata to get Osea – Abata had been studying witchcraft. Oba said Chango someone is trying to steal my child – Chango knew who she was and Abata said Oba you did this – Chango you did this to this child. Abata said I will take the child and she did. Abata with her magic healed her. Osea grew up to be very beautiful and married a rich businessman – she would only have sex one-way. The husband wanted her to ride him like an animal and go down on him and when she did she fell back into her hollow – Abata had to take her away again and heal her. Osea is given to people to cure mental illness esp. from childhood trauma. In 7-4 these are the people who have gone to the edge and come back. People in7-4 that try to kill themselves – don’t die and mess their life up even worse. They are able to fall in that hollow like Osea. Inle was a womanizer – he seduced Ochun and left her – he seduced Yemeya as well and if you don’t have a tongue you can not seduce with your smooth words. Ogue was losing his mind and needed to teach medicine to someone and Inle was a perfect student ( partly because he couldn’t talk) After he taught his medicine to Inle Ogue forgot that knowledge forever and ended up wandering the world until Chango took him in. Chango is the one who protects the underprivileged. If you offend the underprivileged it is Chango you answer to. Boyuto ( the stream and mirage above the water) – the battle of Ochun Ibu Olododi and Oroina ( the lava inside the earth) – Ochun was losing and Boyuto created a mirage and made it look like there were Ochuns everywhere. It was then that Ochun Ibu Olododi tripped over the watercress and it almost cost her the battle.
