Ika-Iwori "Okakaraka the head of Death" was cast for Ika, who took care of a sick person in his home. This person would certainly die. They told Ika to sacrifice, so that others in the house would not be infected by the sick person: a goat, a hen, some alcohol, and ewe. Grind onion leaves and mix with palm oil; use the resulting paste to rub the body with. An Ifa divination text from Jaap Verduijn's Odu Ifa Corpus. Ifa as a divination method is found in many countries in West Africa. However, the Yoruba peoples have perfected it. The presented texts are translations, rewritings and interpretations of original Yoruba divination verses, in which the traditional "poetry-like" cadence and rhythm has been preserved and/or recreated as far as the English language allows. The texts are part of my "working corpus" as an Ifa diviner. More about Ifa on http://www.qondio.com/mama.pl?a=intelshow&i=17751
