Overview

Ìwà was not the most beautiful woman in the world. But she was pretty, and she was not arrogant, and

she was not disobedient - so everyone wanted to marry her, human beings and Òrìṣà alike.

Ọ̀rúnmìlà won her. Ifá told him there were two sacrifices: one to marry her, and one to keep her.

He made the first.

He became famous. People came from far and near. And there were things Ìwà wanted that he simply

stopped seeing - until the porridge burned, the clients' goats went into the household pot, and the

carved Ìròkẹ́ he calls Ifá with went into the cooking fire.

Then she left. And everything left with her - the people, the work, the money.

So Ọ̀rúnmìlà took the road, and at the gate of every king he sang the same song: Did you find Ìwà for

me? If a person has money but no character, that money belongs to someone else.

Alárá. Ajerò. Ọwárangún Àga. Aṣẹ̀yìn.

An ìtàn of Ogbè Àlárá, as taught by an Olúwo - about the one thing that makes everything else yours.

A painted graphic novel from Ogbè Àlárá, as taught by an Olúwo and given in print by Chief Ifáyẹmí Ẹlẹ́buìbọn, Àwíṣẹ of Òṣogbo.
