Irosun-Osa

Ekuro orita meta

Cast divination for Orúnmìlà

On the day he was going to choose Ori in the ancient city of Ido

And he would choose his character at the Ejigbomekun market

They told him to perform sacrifice

When Orúnmìlà got to the city of Ido

He chose his Ori

But on the day one chooses ones’ Ori in Ido city

One must not go to the market

If one chooses ones Ori this year

It is the next year that one should proceed to the market of Ejigbomekun to choose ones’ character

Orunmila obeyed and chose his character the next year

But man would not listen to this advice when choosing their Ori and Character

Orunmila chose his Ori and also chose for man

Orunmila told them,” Be patient and on the day you choose your Ori do not go to the market”

Since it is only once that one chooses ones Ori in life

During the next season

You can come back to the market

and choose your character.

Orúnmìlà then said,” Everything that’s good in life like having wealth, spouse, children, good health, and long life are what we refer to as character.”

If one decides or tries to choose the two together (Ori and Character) at once

One will end up losing the two

One has to choose Ori first

And later return to choose his character

Life pleased Orúnmìlà

And life will please humans

Orunmila was dancing and rejoicing

He was praising his Babalawo

His Babalawo was praising Ifa

He said it was as his Babalawo had said

Ekuro orita meta

Cast divination for Orúnmìlà

On the day he was going to choose an Ori in heaven

And he would choose his character in the world

It is Ela that has good character

Those that choose only Ori have no good character
