When he was going to save cobra from terrible sickness
Òrúnmìlà was advised to offer Ebo so as not to get into trouble for doing good
He complied
Òrúnmìlà declared:
Cobra if you kill the Awo you have done bad
Cobra if you kill the Awo you have done bad
Cobra if you swallow Awo, you shall die!
If you swallow Awo you have done bad.

Question, is this Odu prescription universal or to say I was to divine this energy wouldn’t it speak to my issues and energies, instead of being locked?
