After this, Olofin is placed on the food athena and the following prayer is made to him, to cover
him, with the suyeres:

PRAYER : KOJA BODU ITA ABU OLERI EPETA PATE EBU AGBE SHANGO SHANGO
LOJA
BEFA BA BEDI ITA IWONWO ADIDE, ADIFAFUN ORUNMILA, OFO ÑOLE
OFOJU BODU LOBE IBEFUN

When the market day ends, the woman who owns the market takes some important seniors when
Ofa has difficulties, the lowest qualified awo is the one who looks to Orunmila, when Ofe goes to
look at Odun on the hill of Obofun.

SUYERE:

1. AFOJU BI ODUN
2. ARIREO
3. AFOJU BI ODUN
4. ARIREO
5. AWO MAMA BODU FOJU BI ODU
6. AOBU MO
7. AFOJU BI ODU
8. ARIREO
TRANSLATION

He is the King of the entire world, he directs and governs all the Orishas, destiny, animals and
men rule throughout the world, he is like the sun, no one sees him, he lives in the air and eats
with all the Orishas .

Olofin was born before destiny, it is a mystery. He knows all the things in the world that we do
not see.

Olofín told Shango that he was the owner of the world, that is, of the sky and the earth, + Shango
responded to Olofín that he needed Oggun to be the owner of the earth.

These two Saints are the ones who take care of Olofín, they give messages to Orunmila about
what Olofín wants to be done, the same as in a consecration Shango must eat.

Olofin is the governor of the dead and was also the first King of the earth.

ODUN: It is a female entity, it was born after Olokun, it has 16 eyes that represent the 16 meji of
Ifa. Odun lives at the top of the Ikines forest, where he observes the kingdoms of nature, at night
he closes his eyes and Elegba has to open them in the morning.

Elegba asks her which eyes she wants him to open because she has her eyes distributed to the 4
cardinal points of her body, for that Odun puts Ikines of Ifa in Elegba's hand, he puts one in his
hand, in which he wants Let him open two of his eyes. If he puts two, he has to open one. This is
how the language of Ifa was born to be able to see all the kingdoms and regions.

Elegba is the inspector of the world by order of Olodumare. Odun is the intermediary between the
three kingdoms of nature and the three great regions of the world.

Igba Odun: she is a very powerful orisha, she is a woman, not a man, she is Ifa's wife, who did
not want to marry him and Olodumar put her in the chest.

She is stronger than Orunmila, this is the reason why she processes the Ifa rites.

Women cannot touch her symbol or inherit it, because she is very jealous.

Igba Odun does not ask for songs, dances or drums.

Olofin: You greet him by prostrating yourself in front of him and placing your forehead on the
ground and you greet him just like Obatala, asking him in this position for what he wants.
Nothing bad can be asked of him, not even against his worst enemy.

For an Awo to teach another Awo who is his godson the preparation of Olofin, he has to take Oti
with Eyebale of the eyele that Olofin eats, sitting on his mat.
16 Igba are placed on each one with meji drawing, this is called Odun.

Olofin: Igba Odun theoretically means the one who possesses all the Oba.

If someone could accumulate in their spirit all the science and knowledge of Ifa, precisely the
highest degree, they would not be able to gather all the sciences and power that Igba Odun
encompasses.
Olofín Odun is not lenient with the awo who owns him. If he offends him, he will die. That's why
he can't touch it until 16 days after having sexual contact.

Olofin is dangerous, he can make the awo nervous and create difficulties for him when his rites
are not carried out with complete neatness.

Olofin gives benefits, he confers indomitable power and influence to such a point that whoever
has it, when someone harms him, the damage turns against the enemy.

You can't ask Olofín for anything bad.

Elegba is the one who realizes and enforces Olofín's anger.

Iga Odun Symbolizes heaven and earth, concatenates them with the great laws of Ifa and plays
with the 4 elements and the 4 points.

Olofín + Arara: In Dahomey, Olofín is known by the name of Obaadu whose etymology is Igba
Odun, that is, the guira of Odun.

His divinity is symbolized by one or several guides that contain mysterious and powerful objects.

Olofín or Odun was introduced to Dahomey by a Yoruba from Oya named Obole who brought it
at the request of a Bobono initiated in Nigeria called Bedo. It was brought by the Agoni Awegbo
region in Eagnanade. It was King Fegbesu himself who called Obole to Dahomey, his secrets in
Dahomey are more mysterious than today in Nigeria.

OLOFÍN I: In Ifa Olofín is a secret called Igba Odun, who lives in a covered Igba that contains 4
vessels made of halves of Obi shells that have powers unknown to human beings.

One of the vessels contains Ille Aban, the second Ozain charcoal, the third Efun and the fourth
Osun.

This Igba is placed in a special well-prepared metal box called Apore Olofín.

This box is kept very secretly and is like an emblem of the Divinity that is worshiped. This is
never opened in case of any special occasion, such as when the Awo who owns it dies, to award it
to the one who inherits it.

To walk with him you have to wash your hands and offer him food and neither women, children
nor aleyos can see him.
Where he lives he paints with charcoal and Efun.

OLOFÍN II: In this Olofin is a covered Igba painted white that contains a clay figure full of
secrets. This Igba is kept on a platform in a niche or room
special place called Igba Odun that only the Awos can visit. This opens once a year at the New
Year meal.

OLOFÍN III: The Iyeza have a different Olofín, they call Origi, which is a promontory that they
make by firmly embedding their secrets in cement. Taking them back a notch, they also cover the
origin with ivory plaques on which they draw or engrave appropriate Ifa signs, they say that this
is the father of Orunmila.

OLOFÍN IV: the Iyobu have it in a chest with a series of compartments that contain different
substances and esoteric attributes typical of divinity.

The diagram is as follows:

1. Añari Obun
2. Ile Aban
3. Imi esu – Sulfur
4. Efun
5. Ashe Ina-Ozain
6. Osun
7. Leri Egun

Above number 3 stands the special silver or metal one simulating the 16 solar kings where the 16
silver pieces and the 16 ivory tablets are hung.

DUWO OLOFÍN I: To prepare the Duwo in the Ifa worship room, that is, the Igbodun that they
call Fagbasa, a hole is opened in which the following objects are introduced:

1. Aobibo-Dado made from Ile-Aban


2. Abebo-Dado made from Ile Ibusun Obu
1. I do, Guirito de paÍon with eru, obi, bola, osun, arida, obi motiwao
1. Faovi is a mobebere water fetal leri.

All of this is covered with the earth from the door of the awo plus a cedar tablet, the odun of
Bobono, which constitutes a mark of ownership, 2 Ibines of Ifa are placed on it, it is covered with
7 ewa of Ifa, which are: tete, removes curse , cuaba, vegetable brain, copey and pigeon heart.
All this is covered with a bolt with a single hole, on top of which a metal board is placed that has
6 rods from which the 16 pieces of the Duwa are hung. This is covered by an inverted wide-
mouth jar that has a hole where the glass tube that joins the bullón and the jar ends, then this is
covered with an inverted Igba that has the 16 meyis, Ogunda Biode and Oshe Tura painted on it,
This has a hole and is cemented to the jar.

This is all covered with mariwo, it is only revealed to give it the eyele. Next to it he has a jar
with his Awofaba.

The diagram is as follows:

1. Bullón with the secrets


2. Jar
3. cemented jicara

Aoviba: Symbolizes evil in general


Abibo: Symbolizes passions
Nego: Symbolizes witchcraft
Taovi: Symbolizes spiritual influence
DUWO OLOFÍN II

The hole is covered with a clay plate where the 16 meyis and the Odun of the Awo are placed,

inverted gourd is placed where the metal tube with the 16 rods that hang the 16 pieces is inserted.

Then the inverted jar is placed on top of it, which has a hole that inserts the tube with the pieces
directly into this hole and communicates with the secrets for the sacrifice. This has an Awofabe
and the hole is covered with a small silver or white metal atepnfá.

OLOFIN Among the secrets of Olofín there are two variants in Cuba:
1. in which a human fetus is placed in the cargo
