Topics

March Odu: Eji Ogbe (Ogbe Meji)

The Odu for March is Eji Ogbe (also called Ogbe Meji), the senior Odu in the Ifa system.
It is owned by Obatala, the "father of the Orishas," who also owns the final Odu, Ofun, symbolizing "Alpha and Omega."
Warning: Avoid "overzealous behavior" or arrogance. Celebrating success is positive; using it to prove a point or from a place of ego is not.
Economic Guidance: Avoid gambling or speculative activities driven by fear. This is a month for patience and building a solid foundation, not for seeking instant results.
Health Guidance: Manage stress to prevent headaches and spinal issues. The Odu emphasizes emotional well-being as key to physical health.
Relationship Guidance: Prioritize harmony, clear communication, and fidelity. The Odu warns against indiscretion and backbiting.

The Ebo: Milk & Honey

The Ebo (offering) for the month is milk and honey to Obatala.
This "cold" Ebo (no blood sacrifice) symbolizes a slow, deliberate process for receiving and retaining blessings.
Milk: Represents nourishment, balance, and the restorative power of a mother's first food.
Honey: Represents attraction, sweetness, and longevity. Its creation by a community of bees also symbolizes the power of collective effort.
Analogy: The slow pour of honey signifies that blessings will arrive in divine timing, not necessarily human timing. This allows time to build the foundation to manage and maintain the new abundance.

Spiritual Protocol & Practice

Omi Tutu (Cool Water Prayer): A libation prayer using cool water to set a calm, clear intention and honor ancestors and Orishas.
Ori Prayer: A prayer to one's Ori (higher self, inner self, destiny, crown chakra, first & personal Orisa) to align with one's path and receive clear guidance.
Orumila Prayer: A prayer to Orumila, the Orisha of divination and divine messenger.

Initiation vs. Devotion:

Devotion: Anyone can connect with Orishas for personal growth.
Initiation: An energetic alignment, spiritual rites of passage and training required for performing spiritual works for others. This distinction is crucial for safety and respect of the culture & practices.

Practical Application: Maintaining a "Cool Head" The Odu's emphasis on character prompted a discussion on managing intense emotions.

Some Strategies Shared:

Physical Separation: Removing oneself from a heated situation.
Nature Connection: Grounding energy by connecting with the river (Oshun) or ocean (Yemoja/Olokun).

Chanting: Using prayers / chants like "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" to calm the mind.
