marry anyone or dictate to you whom your lover should be. If you allow anyone

your mind and decide the person you wish to marry by yourself. If you do this,
then there will be joy and progress in your love-life.

guinea-fowls and money. On this, Ifa says:

whatsoever. Ifa also advises you to ensure that you feed your Ifa with food and
drinks regularly.

particular pregnancy that you will get which you will not be quickly aware that you

miss your monthly period because you may be pregnant without knowing of this
fact.

and money. One of the she-goats will be used to propitiate Ifa. If this child is
born, the name is Adeyi or Fayeyi.

to abuse him. In the same manner, your husband must never use your deformity
or inadequacy to abuse or make jest of you. It will not augur well if you do this to
one another.

You also need to feed Ifa with a matured she-goat and feed Olufon with a pig.
The pig must never be cooked for the Orisa because it is also a taboo for the
Orisa but it must be used to propitiate the Orisa. On this Ifa says:

procure. At the same time, you must be very cautions of the types of

subordinates, domestic help, servants etc that you will spend your money to get
for yourself. This is in order to avoid a situation where you will spend your own
money to get something or someone that will end up causing you serious bodily
harm or even death.

another matured he-goat. You must find out very well from Ifa before you
