Letter of the Year – United States - Kola Ifa Miami
Letter of the Year 2012
“Oddun Owó...Oddun Omá...Oddun Arikú Babawa...”
To all the Priests of Ifá, Oriatés, Babaloshas, Iyaloshas and Iworos, the religious public in general.
This past December 31 of 2011, a group of prominent Ifá Priests representing the majority of the religious families in the United States met, with the additional support of (PENDING) believers of the Yoruba Faith, of which (PENDING) are Babalawos.
The ceremonies were performed in the house located at 12605 SW 43 St., Miami, Florida, and (PENDING) Awós of Orúnmila were present, and (PENDING) Babaloshas and Iyaloshas of acknowledged national as well as international prestige, with ample capacity and knowledge and from their analysis we summarize the following:
Ruling Sign: OGUNDA KETE
Prophecy: IRE AIKU LESE OLOFIN ONISHESI BIBIKANTUTO OTAN
Meaning of the prophecy: There will be a blessing of health from the hand of Olofin. Give him an offering of something cool.
Ruling Divinity: YEMAYA
Yemayá is the mother of all children on the earth and represents the womb in any species as the source of life, fertility and motherhood. Yemaya is an Osha and is among the group of head Oshas. In nature she is symbolized by the waves of the sea, therefore her dance simulates their movement.
Yemaya is the Orisha of the Oggùn river which flows by Òyó and Abeokutá, in the territory of Nupe, afterwards she moved to Tapa territory, in Abeokutá, Ibadán and Shaki. She represents the intellect, wisdom and characters that are changeable like the sea.
When Yemayá punishes she is inflexible, she is an excellent diviner, she stole Orula’s okpele and he later gave her the shells (diloggún). She is the owner of water and of the sea, the source of life. Queen of Abeokutá. Her name stems from the Yorùbá Yemòjá (Yeyé: Mother – Omo: Child - Eyá: Fish), literally mother of the fishes. It is said that all of us are her children, because for 9 months we swim like fishes in the placenta of our mother. She always eats with Shango, except Yemaya Okute who eats with Oggun.
In religious syncretism she is associated with Our Lady of Regla (September 7). Her number is 7 and its multiples. Her color is blue and all its shades. Her greeting is ¡Omío Yemaya Omoloddé! ¡Yemaya Ataramawa!
Accompanying Divinity: OGGUN
Oggun is the Orisha that represents fortitude, work, and the harsh and initial force. It is the force that is held in the box of the human body, the thorax, where all the vital organs are. In nature he is symbolized by iron, all the metals, and gargantuan manliness in the human being. He is the owner of tools and chains. Oggun is an Osha of the Orisha Oddé group, commonly called The Warriors. This group is composed of Eleguá, Oggun, Oshosi and Osun. He is one of the first Orishas and Oshas to be received by any individual. Ogún is the decisive Osha in the confirmation ceremony of the Oloshas (Pinaldo) and in the confirmation ceremony of the Awó ni Orunmila (Kuanaldo). Ogun is the one who has the preferential right to sacrifice, because he owns the knife which is the object generally used to sacrifice.
He is initiated (based on) Yoko Osha. He is the owner of the forest together with Oshosi and of the roads together with Elegua. Ogun is the owner of all metals, he is the ruler of smiths, of wars, the watchman of human beings. His name stems from the Yoruba Òggún (war). He originated in Ileshá and was king of Iré. His colors are purple or green and black. His elekes (necklaces) are made with alternating green and black beads.
Ogún’s number is 3 and its multiples. His day of the week is Tuesday and the 4 of each month. In religious syncretism Oggun is associated with St. Peter (June 29).
His greeting is ¡Oke Oggun! ¡Oggun Kobú Kobú, Aguanilé!
Flag: Half Blue and Half Green
Ebbo: 1 rooster, 2 pigeons, various earths, smoked fish and jutia, toasted corn.
In this sign is born:
That women who are daughters of Elegba have one hip higher than the other.
Religious separation.
