 Apetebii is a stabilizing force in the house of Ifa. The deities, the children and the clients all converge upon the babalawo's shrine regularly. Because they are all exceedingly sensitive, when they converge upon the babalawo, his environment must be neat, peaceful and grounded. Apetebii is the main architect for said environment. Here, the teachings of Ifa are illustrative:
Irete ohun tutu mole Ifa said: good things have arrived Calmness is mine Osun water does not grow hot Icy cold, icy cold Fire does not burn into water Icy cold, icy cold Who is bringing the goodness of money to me? Calmness, calmness is mine Who is bringing the goodness of wives to me? Calmness, calmness is mine Unless we make a path for a river it cannot flow Who is bringing the goodness of children to me? Calmness, calmness is mine We do not make a path for a river without it flowing Who is bringing the goodness of wealth to me? Calmness, calmness is mine Brass is what Osun uses to rock her children - Holy Odu IreteOturupon Calmness is what distinguishes the home of Orunmila. Let us all enjoy a day a serenity, in the name of Ore Yeye Osun, the paragon of apetebii genious. Ase! Obafemi Origunwa, MA | www.ObafemiO.com Comments are closed.
