Stories and patakíes

The owunko of Orunmila

The saints agreed to hold a council for the welfare of humanity and invited Orunmila, but said council was held in ife, a place very far from where Orunmila was.

Orunmila walked so much that his feet swelled up and he had to sit down, but the he-goat that saw him offered itself to take him.

Orunmila got on top of the he-goat and thus they arrived in ife.

But it happens that upon entering the council it was obligatory to give blood to the door and since Orunmila was not carrying any animal at that moment he thought of the he-goat that had brought him there and that was convenient for him, he took it to kill it and the he-goat pleaded with him saying: after having done you a favor you repay me by taking my life.

Orunmila answered him: I am very sorry owunko but there is no other remedy because my presence at the council is of great necessity to fix humanity, but I will always be grateful and immediately afterward he killed the he-goat.

Note: do not do favors.

Where Orunmila goes to prison because of Oya

Orunmila lived with Oya and disobeyed Ifa, on one occasion they headed to a land but along the way they ran out of food and when Oya got hungry she threw herself on the ground and refused to keep walking, Orunmila said to her: come on Oya, let us continue the path, we will soon find something to eat.

They continued on their way and after walking a little while Oya spotted a row of ishu and showed it to Orunmila, so that he would steal some yams, Orunmila entered the farm but the owners saw him and accused him of being a thief, taking him to prison.

While Orunmila was in prison, he lamented this because it had been because of Oya and that he would no longer live with her, Orunmila did an osode and marked Ebbo but Orunmila had nothing with which to do it.

At mealtime they brought him a bowl of soup and inside it there was a piece of bone, Orunmila took it like wall lime, then scraped it and with the lime in the bowl and the bone he took it as irofa, he did Ebbo and threw it into the trash can of the prison.

Eshu, who was the sweeper, when he saw this said this is Orunmila's doing, for sure he is in prison, he kept walking and met Elegba and told him: Orunmila is in prison, where Elegba went to see him, Orunmila told him: that he could not stay there any longer and Elegba told him that at night he should get into the trash can and cover himself with the trash.

The next day they took the trash can out to the street, elegbara, waiting, took him out of the can and both went away from that land and its surroundings, after a little while in the jail they began to look for Orunmila and they realized what had happened and from that moment on they prepared a spike to poke inside the trash can before taking it out to the street so that no one else could escape, and when Orunmila was out of prison he never again got together with Oya.
