Ese Kinni

Ifa Message

Verse

As the day passes gently
The sun shines brilliantly
This was the Ifa declaration for the father of ajero manje le
At the time when tears flowed in abundance for all blessings
He was advised to offer a sacrifice
He complied and offered the sacrifice
Now, what defines the life of a snail?
The life of a snail is one of effortless ease.
The snail exemplifies a life of tranquility and prosperity.

Sacrificial Items (Ebo / Etutu)

Ifa says the person should offer:

  • 8 Snails
