INTRODUCTION

The information you are about to receive from this reading of

your Odu, which was revealed during Itenifa ( Ifa initiation) is
the workings of the dynamic forces within you, which were
formed by your emanation and at the point of your existence on
this terrestrial plane. Also, it bothers on the cosmic forces that
are spiritual and beyond your control.

The dynamic forces are your potentials, natural qualities and

strength of your character to be controlled in order to
strengthen your public image and boost your popularity.
Whereas, the cosmic forces or components are from Ayanmo,
Akunleyan and Akunlegba, these three components are loosely
described as Destiny or Heavenly gift/virtues.

The Ayanmo is interplay to forces, which are usually divine, and

in consonant with the inventive precepts of Olodumare (The
Almighty God of creation). Ayanmo of your life cannot be
changed. Once you are created with it, it remains so till the
expiration of your life on this planet earth. Ayanmo includes sex
of an individual, race, family, parent, growth, and other natural
rules of which an individual must tow and obey.

Akunleyan are the virtues and values chosen in heaven

consequent upon your actions/activities in your previous
evolution or existence. They are actually things chosen by you
and most of the time form your likes and dislikes or taboo.
Akunlegba are the gifts or virtues added by various Irunmole at
the presence of Onibode (celestial sentinel) in heaven or just
before you emanate into the world. They are like spices,
additives, preservatives, and vehicles of propagation of
Ayanmo and Akunleyan or things that complement the
Akunleyan in order to fulfil your destiny on earth.

The reading of your Odu helps to determine or reveal your

talent limitations, assets, shortcomings, possibilities and
probabilities. You should use the appropriate ebo (sacrifice)
which has same polarity and magnetism to your Odu in order to
discover love, fortune health, hope, happiness, fulfilment in life
and longevity.

You should also avoid such things, which may hinder your
talents, or discoveries by observing your taboos as explained to
you during your Itenifa (Ifa initiation)
Pre-initiation Divination (Àdáwọgbódù)

Pre-initiation divination (Adawogbodu) is usually done before a

would-be initiate enters the Ifa grove. The essence of this
divination is to reveal the present situation of things about the
person. It states further and justifies the need or necessity for
the initiation. Sometimes, a clue or hint is revealed about any
unforeseen problems that may arise in the course/process of
initiation. Sometimes too it gives a guide or direction to be
followed or observed during the initiation.

The appropriate ebo (sacrifice) is done immediately, so that a

hitch free initiation is achieved, and to correct or amend any
sad or ugly occurrences that might have beset the would-be
initiate.
Post Initiation Divination (Ìta)

Ita, in simple translation means the post initiation divination

usually done on the third day of Itenifa (Ifa Initiation). The
significance of Ita is to reveal the situation of things surrounding
the initiate which may likely happen in the near future. It acts as
a support to the Odu revealed at initiation. Through this
divination, a babalawo is told by Ifa if all the rituals and rites of
initiation had been divinely endorsed by the Irunmole and
ultimately by God.

Ita, also re-emphasises and re-validates certain messages that

are sacrosanct in the main Odu reveal at initiation.

Sacrifices (ebo) are made immediately in order to engender

good tidings and possibly prevent any unhealthy occurrence
that may arise in the near future.
