For disrespecting the mandates of Shango, the Osogbos were born on earth

In the year that Shango reigned for the first time on earth, Olofin gave him the task of maintaining peace between his fellow men and nature.

Objective that was given to the task of fully fulfilling. Being punished in an iron way whoever broke his mandate and tried to create chaos in the world.

The heir of Shango

Kawó Silé had an heir, who was very rebellious and was happy to impose his will under any circumstance regardless of who he harmed with his attitude.

One day his mother, consenting to another of his whims, took him to Orunmila so that he could consecrate him in the sacred rule of Ifá.

When Shango discovered what was happening through rumors, he was furious and began to follow them in order to reveal what they were up to.

Consecration without the permission of Kawó Silé

orula When he realized that it was Shango's heir who knocked on his door, he was very happy because he held the king in great esteem and gathered all the religious to begin to celebrate the consecration.

Once the rites had begun, Kawó Silé suddenly arrived at the dwelling where the ceremony was taking place and, very disappointed, expressed that this consecration had been carried out without his approval or blessings, a fact that made him feel bad and betrayed.

The birth of the osogbos of betrayal, lies and deception

Orula, surprised, asked the father not to retaliate against his descendant and since every act has consequences, this betrayal was punished by Olodumare, bringing down to earth for the first time the osogbos of betrayal, lies and deceit, facts that had arisen from the depths of the young prince and that would affect the peace of the land later on.

Condemning himself in this way, to live related to demeaning acts towards the person, since his punishment included the personification of these evils in a conscious and unconscious way.

The first step: Always ask for the blessing of the elderly

For this reason, in the Yoruba Religion, the tradition of asking for the blessing of the guardian angel, the father and the mother before any ceremony was established since this is the only way to validate the religious initiation with the blessing of Shango and Olodumare and avoid the osogbos that endanger the secret of the Osha arise.

Among the religious, this is considered the first step, so as not to lose the go that with so much sacrifice goes to look for the door of the saint's room.
