ESU Òsijé Ebó – about ESU and ÒSETÙÁ.

They said, “You will see an old woman on her way,” they said, “make it good.” So when Òsetùá finished preparing the offering six pigeons, chickens six six cents and when he was on his way, he found an old woman. He carried the offering on the path that would lead to Esu, when he found this old lady on your route. This old woman was the time when the existence originated. He said: “Akin Oso! ? the house who are you today ? “He said:” I heard rumors about you all the Olofin house, the sixteen older Odu took an offering to the powerful Orun without success. ”
Said,” so be it “.
He said: “it’s your turn today?”
he said, “it’s my turn.”
he said, “took food today?”
And he said. “I made food”
she said “when you get to your site, tell them you will not today “.
she said:” These six cents you gave me, “I said,” three days ago had no money to buy food , ”
said:”. “tell them that you do not anger today
said,” when you get tomorrow, you do not should eat, you should not drink before you get there. ”
He said,” you should take the offering. ” He said: “All those who were there, ate the food of the land, that is the reason why OLORUN not opened the door for them!”
When Òsetùá returned to Oba Àjàlàiyè house, all Odu Ifa were gathered there. Said: “you should be ready now, it’s your turn now to take the offering to Orun, maybe the door is open for you , ” he said he would be ready the next day, because he had not been told the day before. When he arrived the next day, Òsetùá, was finding Esu and asked him what he should do. Esu said, “How! I never thought you would tell me before leaving. ” He said, “it will end today, they will open the door!” He asked, “took some food” Òsetùá answered that an old woman had told him the day before that he should not eat anything at all. EntãoÒsetùá and Esu put up on the way.

They left toward Orun gates. When they arrived, the doors were already open, they found the doors open. When they took the offering to Olodumare and He examined. Olòdumarèdisse: “Haaa! Did you see what was the last day it rained on earth ?! I wonder if the world was not completely destroyed. Which can be found there? “Òsetùá could not open his mouth to say anything. Olodumare gave him some “bundles” of rain. Met, as before, the Orun the value of things, all the things necessary for survival in the world, and gave them to him.

He said he, Òsetùá should return. When they left the abode of Olodumare, behold Òsetùáperdeu one of the “bundles” of rain. Then the rain began to fall on the earth. It rained, rained, rained, rained … When Òsetùávoltou the world in the first place was to see Okra. Okra had produced twenty seeds. Okra that had no two leaves, another had not even no leaves on their branches. He turned toward the house of Okra scarlet, Ila Iroko had produced thirty seeds. When it came Yáyáá house, that had produced fifty seeds. Then it went to the home of lush palm leaves, which was on the bank of the river Awónrin mogun. The palm had given birth to sixteen shoots. After the palm tree gave birth to sixteen shoots he returned to the house of Oba Àjàlàiyé.

Àse expanded and extended on the earth. Semen was converted in children, men in their suffering bed rose up, and the world became pleasant, became powerful. The new crops were brought from plantations. The yams sprouted, corn matured, the rain continued to fall, all the rivers overflowed, everyone was happy. QuandoÒsetùá arrived, carried him to ride a horse (royalty sign: only the most powerful can be allowed to create or ride horses in Yoruba country). They were even to the point of raising the floor of the horse to show to what extent people were rich and happy.
They were such a happy way with him, that covered gifts, those who were in his right those on his left. They started saudarÒsetùá: “You are the only one who could take the offering to Orun, the offering that took you to the other world was powerful! They said, “without hesitation, quick, take my money and help me carry my offering to Orun! Òsetùá! Accept fast! Òsetùá accept my offering “All queÒsetùá gifts received, gave them all the ESU Odara. When given the Esu, Esu said, “Like” so long he gave sacrifices, and there was no one to repay her kindness. “You Òsetùá! All the sacrifices they make on earth, if not surrender first to you, so you can bring to me, I will make the offerings are no longer acceptable. ”
This is why whenever Babalawo make sacrifices, whatever is the Odu Ifa to appear and whatever the question, should invoke Òsetùá to send the offerings at ESU. Because it is only your hand ESU accept the offerings to take them to Orun.
Because when ESU even received the sacrifices of the people of the land and gave the place where the offerings are accepted, they did not show any recognition for what he did for all until the day that Òsetùá had to carry the sacrifice and ESU was to open the appropriate way to Orun, to reach the abode of Olodumare. When the doors opened for him. The quality of kindness that Esu received Òsetùá was really valuable to him (ESU). So he decided to make Òsetùá an agreement whereby all the offerings that should be made should be sent to you through Òsetùá.

It was so Òsetùá became the delivery of offerings to ESU. Esu Odara, that’s how he became the bearer of offerings to Olodumare, ESU Òsijé-Ebó in powerful Orun. This is how this Itan (back) Ifa explains about ESU and ÒSETÙÁ.
Oxetua or Oxetura (pronounced) is Odu names that results from the meeting of Ose (Oxe) with Otura.
Nigerians often spell OSETÙÚÁ, OSÈTÙWÁ OR OSETURA, the meaning is the mesmom the wrong is to consider this Odu, the seventeenth Odu Ifa and first Omo Odu of a series of 240, or as a “quality” of Esu, although the way through ESU receive and drive offerings and ebós.
