ADURA ÒRÚNMÌLÀ OLUWA MI AJIKI (Greeting the Ifa Shrine of an elder)

(**Clap three times in front of Ifa**)

Ila ji Òrúnmìlà. Ila ji Òrúnmìlà. Ila ji Òrúnmìlà. Mo ji mo ki atola. Mo ki asula. Mo ki as urunenene. Ina ku - ku - ku l'ahere. Enia ku - ku - ku l'aba. Adifa fun ogojo l'imo ogbojo. O ni 'ti awo yo ogbojo. Ti awo yo ogbojo. Nje Oluwa mi ma jeki tire yo o.
The house of Light of the Spirit of Destiny and elders of Heaven cast Ifa for the Spirits worthy of praise on the day they were praising the Creator.

(** Ikunle and rub hands together in front of Ifa**)
