Stories and patakíes

Iyalashe the mayombera

Orunmila had had a son with a woman named iyalashe who was mayombera and practiced very strong witchcraft, but she was very careless in her personal hygiene.

When she was pregnant, she got angry with Orunmila and went to live in the forest, where she worked her prenda with eyo (the maja).

There she gave birth to her son and began to nurse him, but at night eyo came out of the prenda and sucked the milk from her breasts, in the morning she fed her son without washing her breasts and the child became ill with serious stomach problems because he swallowed the poison that in his mother's breasts eyo left behind.

Calculating that Orunmila's son must have already been born, he sent elegbara to the forest to look for him, since he knew that at his mother's side his health would be in danger.

Elegbara arrived in the forest and found a child sleeping outside a hut at the foot of a cactus plant next to an eyo that was watching over him.

The eyo lunged at elegbara and he hooked it with a hooked stick and made it his slave.

He took the child and brought him to Orunmila, but the mother did not bother to find out the destiny of her son or that of her eyo.

When Orunmila saw the child, he recognized that he was his son because through his virtue he saw that he had ogbegan in his leri.

Orunmila consults him and it said that the child had poison inside.

He made Ebbo with

River water filtered, coral, and pulverized black jet, a piece of ewe cardon, poison from eyo, an Akuko and two dun dun Adie.

Then Orunmila prepared an ikoko with the river water, ewe cardon and the powder of the coral and the black jet and prayed iyefa and gave it to him to drink, and the child vomited all the poison he had in his stomach.

And the child grew up in the care of Orunmila, healthy and normal.

Note

The woman at night performs the sexual act and the man sucks her breasts and in the morning, without washing them, nurses the child and thus makes him ill because of lack of personal hygiene.

The beggar and the king

Once there was a king of a village who fell gravely ill, so all the doctors of the kingdom gathered to deal with the case.

The king could find no way to stop the blood he was throwing up through his mouth.

Seeing this the doctors gave up the chance to save him, based on the advanced stage of the illness, but what a surprise it would be for the doctors, who when they determined that the king had no salvation.

A man dressed in rags undertook to save the king.

The doctors scoffed at that healer, but the king, who heard the conversation, said to let him try, and so it was.

The beggar prepared a decoction with herbs and three days later he was on his feet and quite recovered, at which point in gratitude he told the beggar, (Orunmila) that he wanted from his kingdom, he only had to ask.

But the man told him he did not want anything.

For that reason the king decided to give him a banquet in his honor and set a date.

The days passed and the appointed day arrived; in the morning a sign of betrayal was seen, so he did Ebbo and did not show up at the palace and went around.

The doctors called ogun and paid him so that when Orunmila arrived he would kill him, but Orunmila, who knew it, did not show up.

The king, seeing that the guest did not appear, called ogun and told him to bring him that man, ogun went out and found him at the door telling him, I wanted to see you and Orunmila said: I know it, the king is looking for you, I know that too, and they went to where the king was.

By refusing, Orunmila to sit down to eat with the other guests and not accept any benefit for the good he had provided the king, he decided that both in the kingdom and in the palace everything that was done had to be discussed with Orunmila.
