This
work will make available detail information on how to consecrate Esu Yangi in Yoruba Ifa tradition by any practicing Babalawo. Esu in in Yoruba
tradition is different from from Biblical
Satan or Lucifer of Christian or Jewish tradition, Esu in Yoruba
tradition is also different from Satan of Islamic tradition’s. Esu in Yoruba Ifa
tradition is one of the Irumonle and he is one of the messenger of Olodumare (
God). Esu in Yoruba Ifa
spirituality is known as Esu Onile Orita ( Orisa of The Cross Road). Esu is the
message carrier between the heaven and Earth. This is the main reason why all
the human being and all Orisa and
Irumonle present their ebo( sacrifice to
Esu).And this also account for the reason why they also pay homage to Esu
before sending Esu on a mission. The Esu been refer to here
in Yoruba Spirituality is known as Esu Elegbara( messanger of Olodumare that
link both heaven and earth), there is Esu Ebita which normally do evil, that
may be the devil that can be compare to the Christian devil. In Yoruba spirituality
and culture. Esu Elegbera is represent by Yangi ( latrite). It must be stress
here that many item like sigidi (moulded clay). That many practicing Babalawo
or spiritualist with shallow knowledge and technical know-how of Ifa cosmology
do use to symbol and represent Esu Elegbara is not acceptable as Esu Elegbera.
Sigidi (molded clay )can never be used to represent Esu Elegbera. Sigidi is a molded clay with which is usually mold in human image , it
will get head, eyes, nose, ear, hand ,
navel and sometime even leg, this is known as sigidi not Esu Elegbera. This
mistake must be corrected as we still see many practicing Babalawo who still use
mistaken sigidi and Esu as the same thing . This must be corrected for
future and posterity.Yang(Latrite )is the correct symbol Of Esu Yangi.it in
this vain that Babalawo Obanifa will in this work explain and document in detail
how to consecrate Esu yangi.
Consecration Of Esu Yangi In Yoruba Spirituality By Babalawo Obanifa
To
consecrate Esu Yangi, you will need the following:
Yangi ( Laterite)
Akukodiye( A cock)
Imi Ojo( Sulphur)
Ewe Esinsin( leaves of Trageia Tenuifolia or Tenufolia
Tragia Spathulata)
Ewe Abamoda ( Resurection plant with scientific name
Bryophylum Pinnatum).
Take the leave of Trageia Tenufolia And resurrection plant together, use water
to squeeze it to obtain it juice. Use the water to wash the Yangi. Dig a hole
were you want to put the Esu Yangi. Grind the Imi ojo to fine Powder. Pour it
inside it and use it to imprint Odu ifa Ogunda Ogbe also known as Ogundabede
thus:
I I
I I
I I
I II
Then recite the following Ifa incantation on
it from Holy Odu Ogunda Ogbe :
Esin ja, esin njeko
Bi Eniyan ba n rin
A wo sun
Akiri yi aye ka loruko Ojo
Esu Odara kiri ka origun merin aye yii
Gbogbo ibi ti mo ba ran o lo ni ki o de
Ojumo o nii mo ki Orun ma la
Aba ti Abamoda bat i da ni
Orisa Oke n gba
Bi akuko ba ko
A fi ona Ilu han eni to sina
Translation
The horse broke loose and was eating grasses
When a human being walks
He will observe his environment
He who moves round the earth is the name of Ojo( the sun)
Esu Odara move round the four corners of this Earth
Wherever I send you, you must go
There is no morning that the sun will not rise
It is the proposal of Abamoda(( Resurection plant with
scientific name Bryophylum Pinnatum). that the Orisa Oke do accept
Whenever the cock crows
It will show direction to the town, to those who had missed
their ways.
Then place the squeeze leaves
on the sulphur. Then kill the cock add it blood on the Yangi as well as in the
material in the pit. Then strategically place the Yangi on top of the material
in the pit. Bury it well .Your Esu Yangi is ready to be sent on spiritual
mission.
