Welcome to another enlightening episode of the Light of Ifá Podcast. Today, we delve into the profound wisdom embedded in our sacred traditions, focusing on the power of a pure heart as illustrated through the casting of Obi.

In the realm of Ifá, the casting of Obi is a sacred act that reflects the heart's purity and intentions. It is said:

"Slanders break and cast Obi,

It comes up negative.

Traitors break and cast Obi,

It comes out negative.

It was only one with pure hearts that cast Obi and it comes out positive.

Cast Ifá for Ojodu,

Initiate of Arira in Ife.

Here comes Ojodu,

Initiate of Ife.

We give thanks for the positivity of the Obi."

This powerful verse teaches us that slanderers and traitors, those whose hearts are tainted by negativity, will see their efforts reflected negatively when they cast Obi. However, those with pure hearts, like Ojodu, will see positivity and blessings in their endeavors.
