Stories and patakíes
From lies, truth is born
Eleguá tells, the mediator between the Orishas and men, that magic helps stop evil.
It renders it impotent.
Olopi consulted the knee so it would tell him how he could escape evil.
– Offer money, feathers, a black he-goat and a vessel, was the answer.
The knee kept everything as payment, but returned the vessel to him, telling him to place it upside down in the room.
The vessel would cover any harm that touched the door.
Death did not reach olopi's children, nor did illness either.
Everything he did he completed in one day.
Says the cowrie shell that Obatalá confined evil to the sky.
The poverty of orunla
Oshun says, owner of abundance, that we should not be in a hurry to become rich.
When the time comes, we will have everything.
The head divined for the king and demanded his crown in reward.
When it was the neck's turn, it asked for its beaded necklace, and the sovereign granted it.
The waist requested the royal mantle for its consultation, the mantle that shines brightly.
When orunla-Ifá divined, he only chose half a yam and a calabash.
Ifá had taught the art of divination to the head, the neck and the waist, but he was humble and patient.
Everyone mocked the poverty of orunla.
Some time later, Ifá returned to the king's house, and he offered him 6 calabashes and 6 yams, which he filled with beads.
One day, Ifá began to to sell the beads the king had offered, and he became very rich.
The cowrie shells say that the head that dies rich is the head of the wisest one.
