Ogbè-Ìrosùn

Overview

Divine favour is tied to sacrifice. Blessings are available, but they follow a willingness to give something up and to keep promises made to the Òrìṣà.

Governing Influences

* Èjì Ogbè — light, new beginnings, divine potential (Ọ̀rúnmìlà / Olódùmarè) * Ìrosùn Méjì — blood, sacrifice, warning, consequence (Ṣàngó / Ọya)

Guidance

Make the offering or commitment you have been postponing, and keep your word.
