How was the brandy born in the Rule of Osha? Pataki by Iroso Ogunda

This pataki arises in the sign Iroso Ogunda (4‐1) or Iroso Tolda, odun in which the harvest is born, that is, the collection of grapes to make wine.

In this Yoruba story the orisha obbatalaOwner of our thoughts and guide of our decisions at Osha, he had children and wanted to make them happy, so he decided to plant grapes.

Pataki of the birth of alcoholic beverages and its effect on Men

One day the devil approaches the white father Obatalá and asks him:

What are you doing Obbatalá?
And Obbatalá replies: I plant grapes to cheer the hearts of my children.
The devil then tells him: I can help you, he hopes that now I return and disappear through a hole in the ground.

after a while it comes back Abita (devil) with a ram (Abó) and a pig (Elede/Eléddé), a lion and a monkey, and he sacrifices them and pours their blood on the ground next to the trees so that the blood would be absorbed by the roots of the grape plantations.

After he has done this he retires.

Obbatalá scared, observes everything the devil had done and worried, says aloud:

What will happen when men taste the drink of the fruit of these trees?

The actions of Abita they curse the drink on earth

Time passed, the trees gave their fruit and Obbatalá then realized the effect that that drink produced.

The characteristics of the animals sacrificed by the devil would be acquired by the man who drank that drink.

In other words, the man who drank wine in small quantities became a docile man like a ram.

The man who drank too much would become fierce as a lion, but if they drank too much until they gave no more, they would fall into the mud like pigs and laugh at them like monkeys.
