Stories and patakíes

Marriage was born

There was a time when men lived separated from women, each one in his own land, but when men needed to make use of women, they went to look for them and after they used them, they returned each one to their respective places.

In that, the men thought about making war on the women.

Before beginning, they went to consult and were told that they had to do Ebbo if they wanted to win the war against the women.

But they said to him

Have to do Ebbo for so little!

If to beat the women we do not have to do anything but give them a slap, with just that we defeat them.

And they did not do the head rogation.

In that the women learned about the war the men wanted to make on them and they prepared themselves and consulted and were told that they should do the head rogation.

They all did head rogation and when the men arrived at the wall of the women's town it was night and it started to rain so hard that all the war gear the men were carrying got wet and they could not use it.

In that the men began to feel such intense cold that they had to call out to the women for help, and these, when they heard them, went out to help them and in each woman's house, one man stayed.

The next day Olofin said that each man who had stayed at some woman's house, that woman would be his wife and thus marriage was born.

Here the person's conscience speaks

Obatala had three omo and the eldest killed the youngest out of envy since he was the favorite of Obatala and he was also rich and powerful and he could not tolerate that his brother was richer and more powerful than he.

When the eldest of the omo of Obatala killed his younger brother, he was seen by a gallinule, since this happened near a swamp and from that day, when he left his house, olegsha (the gallinule) flew over him and then perched far away out of his reach.

One day Obatala left with his two remaining children, and he noticed that every time he left with his children, ologsha flew only over his eldest son's head and this caught his attention.

Obatala asked his children about his younger son.

The eldest told him that he knew nothing about him and the second, despite knowing that his brother had been killed by his elder brother, kept quiet or gave evasive answers and told him that he knew nothing about his brother and Obatala suffered.

One day, Obatala saw his son eldest leave and observed how ologsha flew over his head and then perched out of his reach and when his son set off, he left the house and followed him and saw when he arrived at a swampy place, he kneeled and in a low voice he asked his brother for forgiveness, for having killed him out of envy.

Obatala, who heard it and saw everything, cried bitterly and said: as long as the world is the world, the shadow of conscience will pursue the murderers.
