Says Ifa Okana Meyi:

He should also be asked if there is a woman in the family who has no children, if the man has a wife without children, he should be told that the woman will surely leave him because the marriage was not authorized by her Guardian Angel.

When Okana Meyi goes out in divination, the fortune teller must be told that he has a tall and strong enemy who goes in search of his downfall. To overcome the problems created by it, he must be told that he must sacrifice Eshu with a goat, a rooster, an ax, and a machete.

When this Oddun of Ifa comes out in divination, if it is Iré, normally she will be told that her mother has just made sacrifice for him or her. And if this Odu has been manifested by Osobo, the person should be advised; tell the mother to make sacrifice for him or her against imminent danger of death.

Ifa says in divination for a person who was planning for a new position, he should be told that success is awaiting him, but that death stands between him and the achievement of success. Therefore he must make a sacrifice to The Witches and Eshu in order to remove the danger of death from his path. So that you are never short of material things and especially food, you must sacrifice two pigeons, two rats and two fish to Eshu.

If the person is going to travel, they must sacrifice a goat to Eshu and two dogs, a pig to Ifá, a club, sixteen packages of cold corn bread and beans, to avoid losing their lives when they enter a forest.

When the Odu Okana Meyi appears in Igbodun, the initiate must be advised that to obtain a long life he must sacrifice a goat to Eshu, pray for his head with a rooster and kola nuts; Give Ogún a rooster, a turtle, a gourd of wine and a roasted sweet potato; To Shango a rooster, bitter kolá nuts and wine, as they can be the victim of a storm, thunder or lightning.

Okana Meyi in the Oracle of Ifa predicts that the person must become fond of farming, as he will be successful in agriculture, he will be a landowner or a farmer, for which he must offer in sacrifice a white robe with many pockets filled with kolá nuts, cleaning himself with a chicken and using a staff, collecting materials from the top of two hills close to each other, as well as from two eaves on the roof of his house, all these materials will be used to summon Eshu.

For the person to receive an important title or position, he must sacrifice a goat to Eshu, a goat to Ifá, a rabbit to the Witches and a rooster to honor his head.

Ebbo of the Odu Okana Meyi Ifa:

Okana Meyi's Ebbo to ward off disease:

Awó becomes Ebó to ward off the disease and must do it once a year. Take a gourd with cooked cornmeal, a branch of mariwó, two small chickens (jio jio) and eleven snails, 9 pieces of coconut, jutía and smoked fish, corojo butter, toasted corn, a large gourd.

After the Ebó the mariwó branch is cut into two parts and placed in the large gourd in front of Eshu. The two little chickens (jio jio) are given to Eshu, pouring blood from both of them on each piece of the cut stalk. Above all this, the cooked flour is placed in four portions and they are added with jutía and smoked fish, corojo butter, toasted corn, the eleven snails and the nine pieces of coconut. It is taken to a place away from home.

Work for Sorcery:

Take a taro leaf on which Okana Meji is painted and put it in a tank with water.

Afterwards, the person will wash their face and hands and will not dry it, it is allowed to evaporate. Then that leaf is put on the Ibejis and it becomes dust to blow on the door of the house.

Tips from the oddun of Ifa Okana Meji (1-1):

  • Okana Meyi prohibits eating rooster, beef cooked back and forth, black and red beans.
  • Nothing is tied.
  • Note: For the beef it was made rich, and with the beans it was made ekru, olele, ekru-aro, so that Eshu would eat in the form of a dog, because the boa was going to eat it. For this Ifá you should not cook with charcoal, because here humans learned to cook with mineral fuel.
  • This Odu assures the Awó of invulnerability against witchcraft. This is achieved with a taro leaf, on which the Okana Meyi Odu is painted and poured into a tank with water, to wash the face and hands and do not dry, it is allowed to evaporate. Then that leaf is put on the Ibejis and it becomes dust, it will be blown on the door of the house.
  • Here the faults are forgiven. Eshu conscious to the Awoses. This Odu works at night.
  • The Orishas that speak in this Odu are: ESHU, DIGNATARIES OF THE NIGHT, EGUN, OLODUMARE, SHANGÓ, OYA, ODUDUWA, OBATALA YEKU YEKU, OSHUN, OSUN, ORUN, AZAJUANO, YEWA, OSANYIN, OBA, THE IBEJIS.
  • It is where Ifá indicates: Who are its Priests. You have to work Ifá. When this sign appears in Awafakan (Hand of Orula), the person must do Ifá as soon as possible, if there is no greater cause that prevents it, because it is the only thing that saves him from death. Must do Santo before.
  • Okana Meyi is a transitional Oddun. This Ifá prescribes that everything that the person possesses must be very clear, because it is very easy to become Osobo. Here what is known is not asked.
  • You must analyze the behavior of the Gorilla, the Boa Constrictor, the coyotes, wolves, gallbladder, the cat, the rope, chain, the lightning bolt and the tongue.
  • This is where the dead cheat the living. The woman can have an abortion, she wants to have children. What Eshu asks is given to Shango and vice versa. People say they are liars. Justice enters through a love triangle.
  • Here a chain the size of the Awó is placed inside Olokun. You have to pay tribute to their ancestors.

Ogún paid double his Ifá.

One day Eshu went to Orúnmila's house to do him a favor of doing Ifa, and Orúnmila asked him if he had the money to do it, Eshu answered him no.

Eshu registered him and said: "In your house there are many chickens and these at night they perch." Ogun replied: You are a liar, because you knew that. Eshu said to him: Well, all right, wait; This morning your mom scolded you because you touched her from behind and her husband saw her. Then Ogun said to him: That is true, because you weren't there. Ogun left.
When Ogun got home, he told his mother what Eshu had told him, and he said, "I want to be Babalawo." The mother replied: Ask Eshu how much it costs to do Ifá.

When Ogún asked Eshu how much it cost to become Ifá, he replied that it was a cart of money. When Ogún left, Eshu went to Orúnmila's house and told him that Ogún would come to do Ifa for him, that he had asked him how much it cost him and he had told him that a cart of money, and that is how Ogún paid double his Ifá.
