Stories and patakíes

Shango and asowano

Shango, when he came to earth, virtuous in war, and when passing by a dump on the outskirts of a town, found the sight of an old ragged man who, sick as he was, could not speak.

He sent his assistant aire to give him water and food and to wait for him in that place, because he was going to lead him to a town where he would be king.

After Shango took his immense troop to the town and left it properly settled, he went to that place to pick up the old man, who was azowuano, and he led him to the entrance of the pass and told him to take water and food and that when he came out of the pass he was going to find a tiger-skin cape, that he should put it on, that he was going to find a child who would give him water, and that that child would show him some herbs to cure his wounds and other illnesses.

The child was Elegba, the ewe cundiamor, aguedita, zarzafran, red mangrove, blood grass, etc.

While azowuano suffered much hardship and trials in order to reach the point that Shango indicated to him, he, by another road, arrived in the land of the arara and dedicated himself to bringing together all the arara who were dispersed by the war and by the loss of their king so dear to them.

When Shango came to the tribe of the anai, he told them that by the road and the pass (path of Nana Buruku) their new king was coming, that he was coming to cure all their ills and lead them in a new government, since the arara land with its capital dahomey was a land of sick people and that the king would come with a tiger cape, sign of his powers.

When they heard this from the mouth of Shango, who was respected and loved, they went to wait for the arrival of their new king at the entrance of the town.

Azowuano, who had reached that point, as his strength failed him, laid down in a grove and saw each nation assembled, bowing to Shango, who had stayed behind, who with his great virtue and power threw a lightning bolt to the top of a tree, causing said cape to fall off (the rods of azowuano's ja, the corojo) without anything happening to azowuano, who before this had made the comment of poor Shango my brother look at everything he is doing for me, even going so far as to lie when he made that comment, for he himself did not even know the developed power of his healing spiritual entity, beginning to heal with the ewe that Elegba had given him, speaking and giving proofs of his healing power, whereupon the arara people took him to the throne, where they crowned him king of the territory of dahomey.

Shango took his leave of asowano, who was eating abo since at that moment it was his preferred meat.

Asowano says to Shango: in gratitude, as long as the world is the world, respect the abo since I give it to you, you will eat before I eat in homage and gratitude for what you have done for me.

Shango at that moment was eating goat and answered him very gratefully: as long as the world is the world I will respect the goat and I give it to you, taking leave of asowano.
