Origins of the IFÁ Tradition before Òrúnmìlà and Baba Odúdùwá, the lost Yoruba history
Origins of the IFÁ Tradition before Òrúnmìlà and Baba Odúdùwá, the lost Yoruba history NEW: Updated and corrected with revelations that Baba Oduduwa gave in the summer of 2020, through his medium / ẸLẸ̀GÚN.
A Teaching by the Fon Spirit, “TATA G”, A Spiritual Emissary of de Baba Odúdùwá. This information comes from a conversation with an Égún (Spirit of Light) who is a Spiritual Emissary of Baba Odúdùwá, we wanted him to clarify some points about the history of Ifá, Òrúnmìlà and Baba Odúdùwá and Yorùbá Tradition. July 3, 2010.
Awo IFALENU from Ẹgbẹ́ Ódùn Olọ́fin - The Spiritual Family of the Secret of OLỌ́FIN.
Baba Odúdùwá was born from a woman of a lost tribe called the “ARON”, that was in the central part of the African continent, around 25,000 years ago. Baba Odúdùwá has confirmed this when he has come through his Elègún (Medium), around that time period, the Egyptian ancient civilization was also beginning. Odúdùwá's mother and siblings were captured by the Egyptian army of those times, she was pregnant with Oduduwa in his womb. They all were taken as slaves, Oduduwa was born in Egyptian territory, later his mother died, he became a slave warrior in the Egyptian army. He was in the Egyptian army where he meets Ògún and became friends. Baba Odúdùwá and Ogun became famous warriors in Egypt, and then later they were liberated from slavery. After Odúdùwá was liberated they started his travels with Ogun, and went to a place, where he found the Sacred and Holy Rock of OLỌ́FIN, that event changed his life forever. The OLỌ́FIN sacred rock, that rock was a meteorite that fell on the African continent in ancient times, that keeps a Special Divine Energy, when Oduduwa became in contact with this sacred Stone, then Oduduwa receives a Spiritual Enlightened. Odúdùwá traveled east with Ògún, and along the way, other disciples gathered. He traveled west looking for a promised land, until they found the land of ỌYỌ, in the actual area of Nigeria. When Baba Odúdùwá reaches that area he was with Ògún and the other 15 Elders who were Ọmọ ỌBÀTÁLÁ, which was Odúdùwá with the 16 Elders. Odúdùwá and Ògún build the Yoruba kingdom, the 16 Elders became the 16 Kings, who ruled 16 lands in the Yoruba kingdom. Odúdùwá had the divine knowledge and self-consecrated himself into the Mysteries of ÒÒŞÀ/ÒRÌŞÀ Tradition because no one consecrated him to ÒÒŞÀ. Later he started to consecrate people to the ÒÒŞÀ tradition, one of the first ones was Ògún. At that time there was a Divine Decree from OLỌ́FIN (Conscious manifestation of God), where 400 humans would reach a divine state on a kind of deity, called ÒRÌŞÀ. 200 severe ones, and 200 peaceful ones, plus ÒŞUN who came as an extra one to be included among the 400, making them a total of 401 ÒRÌŞÀ. The ones who could reach that state of ÒRÌŞÀ, were the ones who had the ÒÒŞÀ/ ÒRÌŞÀ Initiation on consecration, they had their Ori (head – Consciousness) open and scratched with a sacred Symbol. The ones who were consecrated and reach the merit level, when they departed from the earthly plane of manifestation became an ÒRÌŞÀ. The first one to reach that level of ÒRÌŞÀ at those times was ÒGÚN, the last one was ỌYA (the number 400), ÒŞUN came and she was added as the 401 ÒRÌŞÀ, the smallest but the most closed to OLỌ́FIN’S Heart. Those 401 ÒRÌŞÀ’s corresponded the 401 IRÚNMOLÈ Energies that make possible the manifestation of and ÒRÌŞÀ in different parts of the universe. ÒRÌŞÀ means an ORÍ (consciousness) open to the Divine. Òrúnmìlà was originally called “Ódú” (different from his wife, Odù, the same three letters but different vowel intonation). Ódú was born in a near land closed to the Yoruba land. When he was born, he started to talk right away, he was a super special child, born from Yemaya (Yemoyale Asesu, the original “road” or manifestation of the paths of Yemaya) when she had a relationship with OŞUMARE. The IFÁ Tradition began around 1,000 years ago before the birth of Òrúnmìlà. The IFÁ Tradition was a tradition of Wisdom, from a nomad group of people, who later established themselves in the area of IFE. Ifá means Wisdom of Nature. The wisdom and knowledge they transmitted were proverbs, Wisdom stories, magic, “ỌFỌ̀ ÀŞẸ” (power words incantations). Òrúnmìlà received the transmission of the Ifá tradition, later he develops a method of Divination based on the Ifá knowledge and the knowledge of the 16 Principles, the ÒÒŞÀ Oracle (that was earlier and more ancient than the Ifá oracle with the Ikin) Òrúnmìlà self consecrated himself as an AWO (Diviner) of IFÁ, he then started to consecrated people to the Ifá traditions. Òrúnmìlà became the first Awo Ifá. Òrúnmìlà made the Ifá Tradition famous. Òrúnmìlà meets Baba Odúdùwá, they both share the knowledge they had and secrets, Odúdùwá shared the secrets of death and ÒÒŞÀ tradition, and Òrúnmìlà shared the Ifá tradition with Odúdùwá. Òrúnmìlà consecrated Baba Odúdùwá to Ifá. Òrúnmìlà was the first AWONI (The Awo-Diviner of the Ọ̀Ọ̀NI-King). Before Baba Odúdùwá, they worship the Irúnmolè ÈŞÙ, who was worshiped and appeased by people. Baba Odúdùwá said some time ago, that the first traces of the ÒÒŞÀ (ÒRÌŞÀ) Tradition were around 50,000 years ago. Around that time, Olókun was walking over the planet as a Living GOD. I was intrigued by this, and I asked Tata G:. about that, how was that possible, how it happened, and he said: OLÓKUN is an “IRÚNMOLÈ NLÁ” (A great Universal Irúnmolè or Universal Divine Conscious Energy), he is like second in the hierarchy to OLỌ́FIN ÒRUN (GOD), and Olókun it’s another GOD, that’s why he is not an ÉGÚN (Spirit) neither he is an ÒRÌŞÀ (Deity who before was human). OLÓKUN had the divine Power to do many things, he uses his power to manifest a human material body and walk among the humans, he was manifested as a Blue Man (the skin tone was Blue). Olókun after some time decides to spread his essence in the ocean, and he went to live at the bottom of the Ocean. That’s why some people think that Olókun was an Égún, because he was able to manifest a material body, but he didn’t die, the just went underwater. When Baba Odúdùwá came, he had to make a pact with Olókun to save the surface of the planet Earth of Olókun and Olókun Agana Eri wrath. Agana Eri was a daughter of Olókun, very severe. This manifestation of Olókun is OLÓKUN AYÉ, the Olókun manifestation of the planet Earth. There is the Universal OLÓKUN who rules the deepness and darkness of space and the Black Matter, Black Energy and Black Holes of the Universe, OLÓKUN ÒRÙN. (The other manifestations of Olókun are Olókun Ayé, Ìrawo Olókun (Planet of Olókun, Neptune), Ìràwò Olókun (star of Olókun) ). OLÓKUN first manifested in creation, when OLỌ́FIN ÒRUN first manifested out of the Universal Neutral Energy we called OLÓDÙMARE, there was a kind of a vapor trail left behind, from that OLÓKUN also manifested himself as a conscious divine being. There are other points that we want to find more information, to have the whole story. Awo IFALENU from ẸGBẸ́ ÓDÙN OLỌ́FIN – The Family of OLỌ́FIN’S Secret.
