Ogbè-Ọ̀kànràn

Overview

Truth is spoken into a heated situation. Light exposes what is wrong, and that can cause conflict before it brings peace.

Governing Influences

* Èjì Ogbè — light, new beginnings, divine potential (Ọ̀rúnmìlà / Olódùmarè) * Ọ̀kànràn Méjì — conflict, truth-telling, sharp consequences (Ọya / Ògún)

Guidance

Say what must be said with care, and avoid answering anger with anger.

Ogbè-Ọ̀kànràn is one of the 240 Omo Odù formed by combining two of the 16 principal Odù Méjì. Naming conventions for Omo Odù can vary between Ifá lineages; this entry uses a systematic right–left naming for clarity.
