Oturupon

Oturupon (Watercolor)

A serious dust storm confounded all who were gathered in the garden. Nothing was accomplished; they even forgot to pray. The day was know from then on as the day of confusion. They were reminded that they could still pray for what they wanted the next day.

On the day of Confusion (Wednesday) we invoke the Spirit of Tranquility with a prayer from the odu Oturupon Meji.

Oturupon, the awo Ogambe of Oturupon Town cast ifá for Igbi who was carrying out a spiritual mission of Iwadero -Tranquility.

Once igpin sails in, serenity sails in, too. Bless me with Harmony in my home. Bless me with Harmony on my journey. Bless me with peace and Harmony in every way. Olodumare do not allow me to be overwhelmed by confusion and I promise to promote tranquility in my own life and in the lives of those around me.
