Solutions to problems that can be caused [or may be caused] by egbe orun [spiritual mates or groups in heaven].
I have explained various types and categories of egbe orun in my previous article on egbe orun. At this time I will be explaining the connection of egbe orun with orisa like egungun, oshun, yemoja, olokun, awon iyami etc.

The concept of egbe means group. A single person cannot be referred to as group. Egbe means that one belongs to a group. Before you can be associated with a group called egbe, you must have a source and a knowledge of the source where the egbe reside, and that source [place of origin] is orun.

Orun to most people means heaven which is generally accepted, but the location of orun is the problem here. Some believe orun is the sky like according to the biblical and islamic belief which is very wrong. Orun has no single geographical location.

There are different forms of orun even though there are some Ifá myths that talk about the orisa descending from heaven to the earth.
Orun here isn’t walking or trekking from the sky to the earth in the real sense of interpretation. This is just a stage of pregnancy to the delivery stage. The mother’s womb here is considered to be orun if we connect it to scientific proof or research. I am including science because history has now become a science and it must be proved or backed up with facts.

Since we believe that there are families in heaven we therefore believe we have all existed in heaven before coming to the earth.

Odu Ifá Ogbe Ogunda [ogbe eguntan, ogbeyonu, ogbesuru] talks about three friends living in heaven who went to ajala amo ti ori or ajala mori mori in orun to choose their destiny. These people have formed egbe right from heaven before coming to the earth.
They got to the place where they would choose their destiny. Only one of three friends, who went by the name Afunwape the child of Agboniregun, was able to choose the best destiny. The other two friends of Afunwape went by the names of Orisanku omo ogun and Elemere omo oja.

Ogbe ogunda [ogbeyonu/ogbe eguntan/ogbesuru]

Opa nla loja MO agogo la ra
Ibeti epake lo yedi gerege
Awon lodifafun orisanku omo ogun
Elemere Omo oja
Ori afunwape ti se Omo bibi inu agbonmiregun
Oo se mi o bi olori gbe yan ori
Un ba re Yan temi
Ibi kan na lagbe yan ori
Kadara o pa po ni
Ese Lohun sare
Ori o re ibi kan

These three friends descended from heaven to the earth. After getting to the earth things were not going okay for the two friends Orisanku and Elemere. They couldn’t feed [nourish and properly take care of themselves l] or do anything without seeing Afunwape. The two friends Orisanku and Elemere that choose the bad destiny [the wrong path] right from heaven formed an egbe amongst themselves and getting to the earth they must also form egbe.

If they fail to locate themselves [to spiritually find and understand themselves and their situation] or if by they failed to locate Afunwape on earth they would suffer and they will find things difficult. Life won’t be easy for them at all because they had been joined together to share one destiny right from heaven before getting to the earth. If they finally managed to meet Afunwape they would be blessed because Afunwape will be more successful than the others therefore the others would have to depend on him to achieve their goals. This was the destiny they choose that without Afunwape they would be incomplete and suffer and that with Afunwape they would be compete and prosper. If they got separated from Afunwape it could have possibly been because they were jealous of Afunwape because he chose a better path or they might resentfully and unjustly reason that Afunwape was using them to fulfill his own destiny!

With this kind of backward thinking who do you think would suffer the most among the three friends? With this analysis and background information we can see and understand that these three friends had formed themselves into an egbe so that working together they would achieve a perfect live on earth. This is the agreement that they had made right from heaven and therefore they formed an egbe on earth too.

Unless Orisanku and Elemere want to suffer or choose to experience suffering that will be the only reason why they would leave, reject or neglect Afunwape. This kind of situation is still happening today where people break up and ruin the prospects of a good destiny due to jealousy, defamation, slander or wrongful accusations. They reject the helper and promoter of their good potential and possible good destiny because of ignorantly and foolishly thinking that there helper is using or usurping what they believed was their individual good destiny to make himself shine.

Odu-Ifá Osa Meji talks about how seven orisa descended from heaven to the earth while having a woman known as Odu to accompany and complement them. While in Odu Ifá Ose Otura talks about Osun following the male orisa to the earth and then formed a family and society. The words mentioned here as family and society means egbe].

Let’s discuss about activities in orun before descending to the earth. It is believed that one chooses his/her destiny in orun before coming to the earth which is mostly regarded as ori eleda. After that one moves on to esu oni bode (esu the gate keeper ) who will ask what we are going to the earth to do. When coming back to heaven after our activities on earth, the esu oni bode will still ask if our mission on earth was accomplished. Everything we want to do on the earth will be revealed at the entrance (the gate in between heaven and the earth.

Now let’s link this aspect to egbe orun. Each family or group existed in heaven. Having learned and known that orun [heaven] isn’t a single geographical location, those who are from the river, ocean, sea, lake, stream, under the earth, trees, bush, forest, space etc have this location as the source of their orun and has been a member of this group over there. A single person can’t be find in this location unless he is a member of the group. That is why it is called egbe or family or group, which is where this member of egbe orun originated from. There are many families over there. Wherever we originated from as a member of that location that is our basic connection to egbe orun for example those that exists in the tree, air, banana plantation, under the earth and there are even some who originated from dumping ground or sugarcane plantation.

These are all locations people can belong to as egbe except for those who reincarnated back into a family lineage whom have become egbe orun by egungun which is considered to be ancestors.

Each location of orun has a realm where people live together and form a family, and when things get to a certain point they will make a decision of going to the earth with some certain promises. Such as husband leaving his wife to the earth, mother leaving children and husband, father leaving his wife and children, brothers coming with theirs sisters (i.e twins) brother coming with brother (i.e twins), sister coming with sister (i.e twins), friends coming to the earth for a certain period of time being the children of the same parents. While same goes with wife leading the husband and children to come to the earth.

Getting to the earth and automatically for a wife who left her husband in orun for the earth will encounter this husband spirit as heavenly husband, while husband leaving his wife in orun while traveling to earth will face the same situation of having heavenly husband based on the promises made to each other before they descended to the earth. Once there is a failure of agreement, then there will be a problem of heavenly husband/wife disturbing the husband/wife on earth making their relationship to be unsuccessful or unproductive, while some heavenly husband/wife won’t let their partner to marry someone else on earth.

Not in all cases people that have spiritual husband or wife have relationship in orun. There are situations whereby certain dynamics of egbe orun they will create a spiritual husband or wife for them simply to put them to suffer on earth.

There are people that belong to egbe orun who don’t have a spiritual husband or wife yet they still face attacks by their egbe orun simply because their egbe orun want them to be aware that they belong to egbe orun. That is why their egbe keep creating problems and misfortune for them on their way and as a result of this attack and misfortune they will seek help from a spiritualist or a spiritual helper and be made aware that they have egbe orun. Once these people feed and appease their egbe orun their problems will be solved.

Let’s discuss about a member of egbe orun who becomes a witch or invited to be a witch. This normally happens when a member of egbe orun becomes a leader, this position as a leader will attract Awon Iyami to invite such person to join their group or family (egbe) because Awon Iyami are egbe (group) too. Failure to do so by the person may result in affecting such persons life negatively.

Finally let us further our discussion on how orun [heaven] which gives each member the link to become egbe can affect such person. To begin with you must know your link or connection with egbe or as a member of egbe. Have it in mind that link is your source and must not ever be forgotten. Never ignore or reject your source of membership because that will help you to appease your egbe. Always remember to appease the orisa that made you become a member of egbe. You should initiate into egbe orun if possible. Initiation into egbe orun may necessary, voluntary or compulsory. One should initiate whenever one has the resources and the same goes for initiating into the orisa that made you to belong to egbe.

I have seen situations where people think that they were being affected by their egbe orun. Erroneously thinking, that there problems were egbe related they keep appeasing their egbe orun, yet they experience no positive or beneficial results or relief, simply because they are not appeasing the right orisa to solve their problem. Instead of appeasing the orisa that needed to be appeased, they were appeasing egbe in this particular instance, when egbe did not need to be appeased. We must know and understand when we must appease egbe to solve a particular problems and when to appease the orisa to solve a particular problem.

This means that someone can be doing the wrong thing, making a strong and determined effort but in the wrong direction. Their problem or problems will persist until they appease and feed the right orisa. I have also seen a situation where someone was appeasing the orisa that got him connected to egbe and I don’t know, maybe the person was aware of belonging to egbe, but with all the sacrifices, rituals and efforts that were made to the orisa nothing changed, and it was only after they appeased egbe orun that they got the positive and desired result.

I will make use of my own case as an example. I got connected with egbe orun through egungun because before I was born there was a prophecy of my coming as my great grandfather, which means I have lived before and have come to the earth for the second time. I initiated into orisa egungun and Ifá right from my young age. My initiation into egungun was when I was 8 years old and I initiated into Ifá when I was 12 years old.

I noticed that I always get all my requests granted whenever I appease orisa egungun. Whenever I appease egbe orun, I may not see any result or get the desired result as quick as I would like or want. I get the response and solutions in slow and gradual stages or phases. There have been many times or occasions that there was a delay of some sort before my request was fulfilled by egbe. Then I consulted Ifá with this observation in mind, then I discovered my that my ori eleda [my destiny] is more attach to my orisa egungun through whom I got connected to egbe and became a member of egbe orun than egbe orun themselves.

It is the truth or a fact that I have egbe orun or let me say that I belong to egbe. I am not attacked or adversely affected by my egbe because they have little or no influence or impact on my life because my main spiritual strength comes from orisa egunun, whereas anytime that I ignore or neglect orisa egungun I deprive myself of his blessings, benefits and protection. Therefore I always see and experience the negative impact or losses when I ignore or neglect orisa egungun. When I listen to orisa egungun and closely follow his directions I always experience and receive great blessings, benefits, happiness and the joy of having my requests quickly answered and my problems quickly solved.

Here are the likely solution to solving ones problems that may be caused by [or originate in] egbe orun. I have noticed some spiritual healers, spiritual helpers or babalawos who always make the mistake of seeing or considering this egbe orun issue as singular and unconnected spirituality reality, not knowing it entails a lot inside [a lot of things] than merely feeding or appeasing egbe orun only. They leave out or are not aware of others factors like: What of people that have the problem of having a spiritual husband or wife? And what of people who have already been negatively affected due to their neglect of their orisa by his/her orisa, that made them to become members of a certain class of egbe orun? You cannot present or add two different problems to egbe because they have no right to intervene in other orisa’s matters. Every orisa works independently. Problems of spiritual husband or wife was as a result of ones promises, vow or pledge in heaven before coming to the earth.

The problem of being disciplined by a displeased orisa is often a result of an unfulfilled promise, vow or pledge that we made to our ori eleda when choosing an orisa to guide us and help us to accomplish our mission on earth.

let me say that egbe orun is the major link for you to know your existence before coming to the earth, and failure to recognize or be aware of this is a problem which will result in your other mates in heaven (egbe orun) to bother you or to agitate you to get your attention, because egbe orun can clearly see that you have forgotten and neglected them. The solution is these, problems is to be resolved one by one. Let us not mix the different possible problems together.

In regard to the issues related to spiritual husbands or wives ones should appease and feed his/her egbe orun and by making a declaration that one will not longer neglect them and by seeking the approval of his/her egbe orun so that he/she can divorce his/her spiritual wife/husband today. His/Her egbe orun should accept the request then after a consultation should be made [or a divination should be performed] to know the next step should be such as if they are going to the stream to do the separation, if it will be done at the river bank, banana plantation, sugarcane plantation, a big dumping ground site etc.

Those who don’t have a spiritual husband or wife can appease their egbe orun and make a confessional declaration that they have identified, recognized and acknowledged them their egbe orun and that they admit that they belong to egbe orun from the present moment onward. They will make the honest vow, pledge or promise that they will always feed their egbe orun in return their egbe orun will always bless them, fight for them, protect them and never lunch an attack on them anymore since they have recognized and united with them from the actual present moment onward.

Those who do not have a spiritual husband or wife but yet are experiencing negative effects or have been intentionally or unintentionally negatively effect by egbe orun should first do a divination to find out the reasons for this problems or to see if it is the orisa that for unknown reasons is affecting them negatively. The orisa may want immediately initiate into that particular and specific orisa who is trying to get their attention through different means. They must also known the taboos [restrictions and prohibitions of the orisa as well as the practice or implement the positive instructions that the orisa wants them to undertake] for example those who were attached to the river/water deities should stop eating fish and avoid wearing of dark clothes such as red, black etc and they should always make white, cream, gold or butter color their favorite. Feeding the orisa is compulsory [obligatory] and mandatory.

Materials used in feeding egbe orun are :

Basket, calabash, basket bag, white bowl or plate
White Clothes
Fruits
Goat
Chicken
Snacks
Dry Gin
Specifically Requested Foods
Sweets
Chewing Gum
Plantain chips
Honey
Coconut
Kolanut

Besides these items there are also many others things that can be offered to egbe orun. By consulting Ifá or by speaking directly to Egbe through Obi Abata Oracle we can find out what they want from us and what we should do.

Feeding of Egbe in Ifá Yoruba Kabbalah practices is unique and interesting. In fact you will love the proceedings. It does not require you to wear any special form of clothes, not to talk of carrying the ebo to any location such as T-junction, river bank, banana plantation, dumping ground etc.

Based on the materials used then you will understand it is good to give the orisas what you can eat and stop giving the orisas what you can’t eat. The orisas are spirit, they wont appeared live to eat the materials but they get feed through what we ate.

As you all know Ifá Yoruba Kabbalah practices does support blood shed or animal killings. This is the one of reasons why performing offerings, sacrifices or rituals in ifa Yoruba Kabbalah practices is more effective and acceptable by the Orisa than any other method or practice.

The materials used are:

Dried cat fish
Kolanut
Groundnut
Alligator pepper
Corn powder (lebute) or powdered milk
Fried yam or bread
Honey
Banana
Plantain chips or biscuit
Sugarcane or sugar
Dry gin

Let’s share some of the steps:

The Orisa Egbe will be placed in front of the person that wants to feed egbe. The Orisa represents egbe orun while we present represent egbe Aiye.

The person feeding Egbe must sit on Apere, while the Iya Olorisa must also sit on Apere. Both will sit on Apere.

There must be a trusted person or a loved ones which we commonly refers to as guarantor simply because the person must known the person’s feeding Egbe Orun prayer points or requests. The person is mandated to prayer for the person’s feeling egbe orun with a pure heart and clean mind. Another reason could be seen as joint in communication with the spirit at that moment like a president and vice -president because both must eat same things without any difference. The babalawo must also be present because he will be the one to throw the kolanut and other interested person can be present also.

The iya olorisa will put all the materials on egbe before we start to eat. All the materials will be eaten in the presence of Orisa Egbe Orun, while the person feeding Egbe Orun and the guarantor eat first before any other person.

"If you belong to Egbe Orun (Spiritual Mates/Groups in heaven), and your Egbe Orun are not benevolent but malevolent, pls don't trust HOPE" by Olu Awo Ifanla 2007

Egbe orun are of two types:
Benevolent are those who belong to egbe orun and they are not affected by their Egbe orun, instead there Egbe orun bring luck on their way, most time these people doesn't notice they have Egbe orun, it is people around them that will tell them based on the undeserved fortune they are receiving from there Egbe orun.
And in some Cases they may be aware they belong to egbe orun based on the situation and their experience, because they will realised they have spiritual back up when they started noticing they are getting unnecessary favours, too much of luck etc.
It doesn't matters if they are close to their egbe orun or not, it has no effect on them, but getting close to their egbe orun like appeasing and feeling their egbe orun will help them more.
It seem these kind of people have paid their egbe orun's dues before coming to the earth, they are not disturbed by their egbe orun for once not to talk of their egbe orun putting them into hardship or suffering.

The malevolent type is the opposite in meaning to the benevolent type.

They make life difficult and unbearable for those who fall into these categories, that such person may even regret coming to the earth.
They bring suffering, hardship and sorrow, it even become worse if you are not close to them.

There is no way or excuse of not been aware of the malevolent egbe orun, no way you will notice you have egbe orun or you belong to egbe orun with the kind of suffering, hardship and sorrow they bring on your way.
Malevolent egbe orun put you to suffer simply to notice you have egbe orun, and for those who don't notice they have egbe orun by the signs given such as dream, getting angry easily, change of mood without knowing the cause, disappointment in relationships, out of luck, get promises from people and they later failed you etc are in trouble because they may end up committing su***de and that's what the malevolent egbe orun requested from them, malevolent egbe orun are waiting for your death, because the plan is to make you return back to heaven as quickly as possible.
Malevolent egbe orun shouldn't trust hope, no matter what you do, you can't be lucky like the benevolent ones, getting close to them is to reduce the suffering and the hardship, it has no solution, feeding and appeasing them is a regular things that must be done and that doesn't solve it all, no permanent solution. That's why I said don't trust hope, it seem those who belong to malevolent egbe orun don't pay their dues before coming to the earth.

After many attempts of solving the problem of the malevolent egbe orun and failed, some loses hope and get it wrong by living an uncared life style but don't loose hope because one day you may get it right but at the same time don't trust hope.
Having known the types of Egberun then let's examining the categories.
There are different categories of Egberun. Before examining the different types, in these categories, it’s vital to point out what most people do not know about Egberun. It’s also important to state that anything seen and unseen exist physically and spiritually, and connected to either human existence or not. In most cases they always take human forms or images. The examples are, Egbe Awon Agba/Awon Iyami known as witches, Osun, Olokun, and Yemoja, There is equally what those not properly schooled in traditional spirituality regard as “spirit”. Some spirits poccess human body/image in different ways, some others are immortal, The familiar spirits include Oro inu Igi, Iwin inu Igbo, Alujannu inu afefe etc. All are still Egberun and people belong through these means.

Categories of Egbe Orun
1) Names of this spiritual aspect differ due to language barrier and geographical locations. That does not mean we will not mention some of the names we are familiar with, such as Abiku and Emere where necessary. There are some members of Egberun that brings good luck and fortune immediately they are born into a family. When this kind of children are born into a family, the family witnesses a rapid financial change, the child improves the family status such as the family reputation, welfare, economy and wealth. This kind of children come into a family as a result of reincarnation of one’s departed family member(s) such as one’s late child, brother, sister, relative, parent, grandparent and in some cases, through death of neighbours.

Such children come back to earth to help those they are destined to help. Some of them come back based on the assumption that the person they were suppose to help wasn’t born during their life time, and as a result, come back as the person's child to help such people or families.
A child of this nature reincarnates into one’s family as a result of good heart and bond of charity towards other people, more especially when helping those in need. It’s possible that their family lineage can divert these fortune children to another family.

I cannot say for sure whether the children of this nature are good or not because they do not live long. They die at young age, because they are destined to help their family status. However, with sacrifices, rituals and prayers, some of them survive, but the implication is always negative. For those whose parents are wise, they appease their children's Egberun to stay forever and to also keep their fortune. It should be noted that helping a family status doesn't mean money, riches or wealth alone. It could be in any form. Some parents believe that separating those children from their Egberun is the only solution. But, separation is not the solution because some of such children trick religious clerics and local healers by not leaving on a predetermined date, which make their parents think their spirit-child has come to stay, I have seen some of them leaving the earth at the age of 30.
2) Some Egberun naturally chose good fortunes for themselves when coming to earth. This type of children always get whatever they seek or what they need by mere thinking. They easily find other people's lost valuable property. Their wishes and thoughts always come to pass without any stress. Their thinking/thought is like a prayer, They are favoured, luck always walk on their path, they are loved by people, they get rich based on the destiny they have chosen, they are blessed with long life which is also part of their destiny. These children are born to be rich no matter their family problem or generation curse. They are always popular and well-known in whatever they do. It is their Egberun that is bring them good fortunes because nothing is impossible for them.

In most cases, they are females. Their good fortunes affect their husbands’ lives positively. But, some of them face the problem of not able to bear kids, They always go barren. Despite their love to help, they still face a lot of criticism. Those who are close to them, accused them of using other people's destiny. Some ignorant husbands accuse their wives of manipulating their destinies, and those who don't envy their wives, refuse to accept any gift from them. It should be noted that some of them are males also. The females tend to be more. Generally, they belong to Orisa Olokun that blesses them with wealth.

3) The third category are the Egberun who get rich immediately after their teenage age. They also have luck on their side, acquire wealth, properties, and big business players. They are known because of their financial attractions and they are mostly from poor families. Family members see them as God sent helpers and widely considered as pillars of their families. They help other people who are not members of their family. They are easily identified in the society because they always engage in businesses and seldom go into partnership. Their other aspect is that they don’t work under any body, governmental or non-governmental organizations. They are masters and always find themselves in anything involving competition because they will triumph. Sadly, they don’t live long. They die before their golden age, and for those who are lucky among them don’t live up to 60 years.

4) There are different types of Abiku: Dead inside a mother’s womb. Die at the point of delivery. Die few minutes/hour(s) after delivery. These categories are considered or regarded as born and die the same day. Die before 8th day of the naming ceremony. Some live minutes before they are named. And some others die after their naming ceremony. They came to punish their parents. In some instances, a mother suffers for giving birth to an Abiku as a result of a sanction Egberun placed on her husband. Some Abiku target their fathers regardless the number of wives they marry, there is always a challenge with getting a child. An Abiku is regarded as a misfortune child and the motive is to punish their parents. Their parents tend to give them names that is a plea for them to stay. Such names are, Durotimi, Remilekun, Aiyelagbe, Ropo, kokumo, Ikumapayi, Malomo, among others.

5) Emere/Elere Omo, is another aspect of Egberun. The impact of this type is always negative. Very few are positive among them. Children of this nature are born into the family to suffer or bring misfortune into their families. Usually, they are born into rich families and automatically make their families poor. Even those born into poor families still affect their families’ well-being and welfare negatively, pulling them from poverty to wreck.
Emere derives pleasure in seeing their family members suffer. They hate whosoever wants to separate them from their Egberun. And immediately they are born, bad things start to happen in their families. They like being the only child, and can be recognised by their looks. They always appear slim, some not pretty, with an insignificant few cute and very pretty. Most of them are light in complexion and they love keeping their hairs without fixing or attaching anything.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not inferring that there are no good Emere, and no fat body Emere or no dark skinned ones. I am only considering the major aspects.

6) The last aspect most people belong to is very wide in dimension. This is where most people realize that they have Egberun or belong to one because of the protracted suffering in their lives.
This aspect involves positive and negative results. Egberun always inflict those that belong to the group with problems/hardship and in return, requires them to feed it regularly. While some are so lucky in feeding theirs because it quickly accepts their offering, some are lucky to feed theirs once in a life time, and get liberated from the vicious cycle of suffering.

While some others are expected to feed their Egberun once in a year, others have to do it regularly depending on the sequence required. Egberun knows when their suffering will end because it is their Egberun that own their fortunes. The question then is, why are things different in this category, with some feeing their Egberun once and for others it is regular affair?.

That's why I said this category is wide, very wide. Feeding and appeasing Egberun is the solution to some, while some others have to go the extra mile like performing rituals and sacrifices to Awon Iyami, feeding the Egberun,Egungun, Osun, Yemoja, Olokun etc and also engage in using Eyonu, Asina, Ebe awon Agba and Atude etc to solve their problems. Some ladies have to marry a babalawo or spiritualist to help in solving their problems since it require a lot of efforts by babalawo, Alfa, Woli to help solve such people's problem.

For instance, a young woman recently came to my office to consult on how to get her challenges resolved. She disclosed that wherever she went to solve her Egberun's problem, those she approached, tried to marry her. She wanted to know if marrying her will also be our pre-condition. We answered her in the negative, insisting that her money will go all the length for her. Another woman shared her experience with us, claiming how a babalawo asked her to leave her husband to marry a babalawo like her friend did, because she wasn't able to conceive.

There many not too pleasant instances all over the place. We have seen a situation where a lady was tricked to marry a babalawo, She had Egberun which made her to be suffering from one problem to another. Though her problem didn’t require marrying a babalawo, she was tricked into the marriage because of her beauty. There is this matter of one of our friends who needed a spiritual healing. He was given the requirements. Unable to provide them, he ran to one of the white garment churches around. He later died. His tragic end came from the wife he married. He got married to a rich beautiful lady he never knew belonged to Egberun. The said woman had the problem of giving birth. He did not get the woman to marry by fair means.

Unlike our late friend, some others like him are quite lucky. They resort to appeasing the Egberun and get positive results with immediate effect. The truth is, things seem to be right when these people are young. In some cases, some are born to suffer right from their young age till adulthood. Egberun creates problems just to get recognized. Most people don't understand the signs from Egberun, thus bringing about their travails. Ignoring tradition makes matters worse.

These are some of the signs Egberun give: Dreaming of water in any form such as seeing river, ocean, sea, stream, drawing water from well known as Kanga, seeing water in bowl or clay pot known as Oru, also dreaming of Oru filled with materials from the sea such as Cowry shells, Sea Snall, Salt etc

Dreaming of a party, in any location such as the location you are use to, space, sky, moon, sun, in the grave/graveyard or where you have never been before, such location may be in the water like river, ocean, sea, pool, stream or on land which can be in your house, neighbourhood or a house you have once lived before, your present house, rented house that you have lived before, the school you went to, your place of worship such as shrine, temple, church or mosque, family compound, river bank, banana plantation, forest, inside a tree, rock, a big dumping/refuse site, a big hall, viewing centre, it can also be in the market or hospital.

Most ladies and guys that are flirt are as a result of Egberun, they are always unfaithful, urge for s*x, some are heart brokers, they don't fall in love or have feelings.
Some ladies are h***y whenever they see guys not because they are not circumcised like people believe but they are under the influence of Egberun.
Thinking of sleeping with all the ladies/guys in the world, please know that you are under the influence of Egberun. Some ladies can never be satisfied with one, two, three, four or many rounds of s*x, instead they seek more, they urge for more s*x, it's funny to know that some can never be satisfied with one partner except they double date and if guys they end up marrying many wives as a result or having many babies Mama. And for ladies, infidelity is their major problem or heart desire, which result to single lady or single mother.
Most believe s*x is Sweet, while those suffering from Egberun may refuse to marry because of their phobia for s*x.
Some gals / guys remain single simply because they don't want to have anything to do with guys / gals while some ladies decided to marry a fellow woman like them only to keep guys away.
Some can never be satisfied with one partner despite been stated in their destiny readings, some ladies are forbidden from having s*x with men while in relationship except they divorce/quit one relationship before going for another, yet they keep going against there destiny and as a result produce a bastard which may later result to problem for them in future, as for men sleeping with different ladies while in relationship may loose their fortune child(ren) to another family and suffer for there actions in future.
Those who belong to osun, yet they are not faithful in relationship may end up with poverty and the lucky ones fall victim of been a bab(ies) Father / bab(ies)Mama and live single/divorce forever.
Guys suffering from Egberun end up with many wives as a result.
infidelity isn't a problem if you have self control but some ladies infidelity are caused by Egberun.

Furthermore, no matter your age, you always fear darkness and you also have phobia for water or you always dream of dead members of your family. This aspect is mostly common to the Southern part of Nigeria: Dreaming of snake(s) although the snake doesn't scare you or make any attempt to attack you is still part of Egberun signs. Don't be confused, concerning this snake(s) aspect, Dreaming of snake(s) and the snake(s) scared you or attempt to attack you is a sign of attack from the witches/Awon iyami.
Dreaming of picking a snail, dreaming of red pepper, dreaming of palm nut can be considered as backwardness, suffering and hardship.
Sometimes ones mother may be wicked and appeared as a witch in reality.

The signs are more than the foregoing. We have only listed a few and if you need to know more, then visit our page and read our article on Ancestors and Egberun. Egberun can make one to regret coming to this world, Egberun creates problems, difficulties, misfortune, bad luck etc for those who belong to the category: Bad luck, they never get or witness good luck in their lives, they are not lucky at all, luck never come on their way and if, is by mistake which will later turn to bad luck, what others do easily will be tough or difficult for them to do, no wonder why some of them face the problem of failing examinations, not able to get admission into schools, colleges and universities, some of them get extra year in the university while some even drop out, Egberun made some of the people that falls into this category to be influence by bad gangs and as a result they may not be useful in the society.

Women under this category who get pregnant do run mad immediately after delivery. Some are barren for life, some others inflicted with sickness. No matter the claim of deliverance by some clerics, it must be pointed out here that no spiritual ailment can be solved medically. Poverty is also in this category. Such people labour with no good result to show for their input. Relationships are also affected negatively, resulting in unfaithfulness among the couple.
Divorce and most marriage problem today are caused by Egberun, this is what most of the western countries face today, so many failed union or failed marriage many couples face nowadays is as a result of Egberun's problem. Such problems include:

Looking for the best and perfect spouse, too choosy, complains about ones spouse character or behaviour, not able to adapt in relationship, lack of understanding etc. Another problem is "promise and fail" known as "Amubo", people that falls into this category of Egberun get a lot of promises that never come to pass or reality, Egberun always block them from been help by people. A lot of vision and prophecies may not come to pass for people that falls into this category, when people who are spiritual sees them, they easily know all what they are going/passing through or what they will become in future, the funniest part is that people that falls into this category are familiar with the same prophecies and vision which made them to believe is truth but if these people that falls into this category didn't get it right by seeking the necessary solution, this vision and prophecies will never come to pass, some of these prophecies are travelling overseas, become rich, be a leader, processes more properties, been famous, popular and well-known etc.

Another problem that affect people that falls into this category, they see themselves as problem to the family, they are influence with hatred, people develop hatred for them, the funniest part is that people who haven't seen or meet them still develop hatred in them, those who helped them get affected by their Egberun and as a result people avoid rendering more helps to them. Good job, good relationship, wealth, riches, children, good husband, good wife, property(s) are their major problem. That's why some were rich before and became poor as a result of Egberun's attack on them, while some were taken to prison for a crime they never committed, simply because Egberun want to hide them against death, some of the people that falls into this category became mad to survive death or generation curse while some of these people are attacked with hatred by their Egberun etc. For those who request their female partners to commit abortion because they are not ready to father children and for women who are not ready to become mothers, the consequence is the same.

Ques2
I was told I belong to Awon Iyami that I processes witch craft, which I don't know, I'm not aware of it, how is it possible, I have never been in their meeting or see them, how come, and I was told by a spiritualist that the witches are suffering me because they are waiting for me to come and occupy my position as their leader, how come please help me out?

Answer :
Yes, it's true, and don't ever think isn't possible, first whosoever belongs to Egberun either by any of this means such as Osun, Yemoja, Olokun etc and processes the highest spiritual power like becoming a leader where she belong, automatically her position will attract Awon Iyami and surely Awon Iyami will want or encourage such person to go to the highest level by inviting her to their mist, if such person fail to realise this, then it will become a problem, they will start suffering that person till she join them.
This aspect I want to discuss with you is one of the important aspect of Egberun.

Firstly, if you are misplacing your things, despite you kept them save but yet you still fall victim of searching, seeking or looking for those things/materials you kept, which you may later find if you are lucky, while the unlucky ones will loose these things/materials forever, such things include cloth, money, wrist watch, necklace, under wears, shoes, important documents etc, all these are still part of Egberun's signs, another signs of Egberun that we need to consider is for those who finds money in their cloth or in their cloth's pocket, they usually finds money in their cloth or in cloth's pocket after a long period of time of wearing such cloth, although they must have long wore the cloth which gives confusion of doubt in their mind whether they forgot the money in their pocket. Secondly if you find yourself in this condition or situation, like going into different business within a short period of time but yet you are unsuccessful or you loose interest in anything you do easily.

Let me explain further, some people will engaged in so many business within a short period of time and yet they will still look up to another business to get them rich or they believe the new business or job they want to engage will benefit them. Some people that are affected by Egberun attack, they can even be training under a master/teacher as an apprentice, but yet they won't finish their training under them before they go to another place or master to learn another business or profession, yes get me right I repeat, the problem is that they won't finish one training before going to another one. Whenever you ask them why they left their former business they will give you an excuse that they don't know the reason why, they can even say they loose interest due to some charges or they are tired of it.

The cause of this is simple, in case you don't know, they loose interest in any thing they do or engage in simply because their Egberun is disturbing their economic life.
Above, losing interest in ones relationship with others such as one's spouse or friend, are still part of Egberun's signs, some will just quite their relationship without any reason, while some that have married or given birth will be tired of their relationship or marriage and quite/ divorce for no reason. I have seen people building different houses without completing any of it, they won't complete one before building another one which at the end, both will abandon, all these are still signs of Egberun.
Another problem is that Egberun can make someone venture into so many business and attack the person with poverty not until he/she get to the right business or job, for example I have tried so many business before I became a babalawo, people that known me years back when I was into Web designing, then I was a programmer, later I left website designing to art work, where I became famous and popularly known as OBAD "Original Black Art Design" from artwork I venture into graphics designing and painting but yet I was unsuccessful because I loose interest in all these business until I went back to my father (Dr S M Opeola, the Founder of Ifa Yoruba Kabbalah Temple) to confirmed what he told me when I was in secondary school that my destiny says I will become a babalawo, that was how I got it right and till today, I never regret been a babalawo or loose interest in my profession as babalawo, but that doesn't mean I won't add another work or job to my profession in future, I have a plan of doing things that will boost my awo's work.
