EDAN

Edan, a goddess symbolizing the earth, is described as a quiet and gentle orisa who
hates liars and wicked people. It is believed that all of the orisa, including
0runmila (who descended from heaven), are controlled to some extent by Edan
because they were created after the earth was formed. It is claimed that a person
who breaks an oath taken in the name of Edan will swell up and die or be afflicted
with extreme poverty, Edan is used especially to protect people against witches,
sorcery and all evil spirits. A petitioner takes three kola-nuts with four quarters
each and pray before Edan.
Edan, prevent ofo (wizards) from harming me.
Prevent witches from harming me.
Do not allow any evil forces to come near me.

Ewe, Baths and Incantations by Awo Fategbe Fatunmbi


Obara Meji:
The dew washes the human head neatly
Neatly the dew washes the handle of a cutlass
If awo's destiny is bad he gets easily fed up
Performed Ifa for Orunmila, father of Agboniregun
When he wanted to go and wash away the destiny of poverty
I washed away poverty
I washed away suffering
I entered inside water
I washed away poverty
