Stories and patakíes

The barrel of gunpowder

In this path ayaba was the queen of a yoruba village, Obatala who dresses in white, reigned over the earth.

The emir of the nomad warriors of the desert declared war on her; Obatala's sons were warriors of ikuanka (sect of ogun) and they threw themselves in front of their armies, but they perished one by one, before the terrible hosts of the emir, where Obatala girted her warrior helmet that was made of tin, brandishing her spear and barrel of gunpowder that Oshosi king of ode and her vassal had gifted her, for he had brought it back from his roamings through shangai.

The battle was very cruel and Obatala and her generals had to fall back, a moment she took advantage of and went to see elegua who divined this sign for her and told her: a thing they have gifted you will save you, and that you carry with you, for destruction is upon you and if you do not hurry, you will even lose your life.

She answered him: the only thing I carry with me is this little barrel of gunpowder that was given to me by Oshosi.

That was just what elegua told him and right away he made Ebbo with the little barrel, his clothes and his güiro.

After finishing the rogation elegua told him: in the next battle put this little barrel on top of this güiro with a woman’s face painted on it and a warrior’s helmet, then dress it with your clothes and mount it on top of your camel and try to throw it in the middle of the emir’s troops.

Few days later, the emir’s troops came to besiege idoma, Obatala came forward to fight him with his warriors and he did to the letter everything that elegua had indicated.

When the camel got frightened, it went into the middle of the emir’s warriors, who, when they saw it, believed it was Obatala, who had fallen into the encirclement; they charged with great force against the camel and even the emir himself fired his musket at what he believed was the queen, the little barrel of atukun exploding, killing the emir and a large part of his soldiers.

This caused panic to spread among the emir’s troops and thus they easily wiped out the emir’s hosts.

That was how Obatala’s kingdom was saved with the sacrifice on the part of Obatala of the gift that Oshosi had given him and since then, in memory of these fun fun Orishas, they never used gunpowder again.

Note

In this Ifa Obatala left the gunpowder, this one saves and loses.

The father’s respect for the son

Olofin was bothering Shango, in the sense of abusing him for his primogeniture; Shango, weary, withdrew, and when Olofin sent for him he did not come to his presence.

Olofin went to consult with elegua and he saw this sign and told him: you have some difference with a person; you want that person to come before you and that person is Shango, daddy, if you want that person to come before you, you have to make Ebbo with: black Akuko, black beans and hot pepper, and then put it all to that person at his door.

When Shango went out in the morning, upon seeing what was placed at his door he understood that the only one who could have done that was Olofin, and blowing fire from his mouth, he presented himself before him, where he almost disrespected the father.

Then Olofin, understanding that he had overstepped in his treatment of his son, told him in a skillful way so as not to let his fault be understood: I treated you like that to test you and I am fully convinced that you are a prudent and respectful person.

Note: the problem of the younger one with the elder one arises from the bad manners and nagging of the elder one.
