Chapter 11 introduces the sixteen major Odus of Ifá, which add depth to Obí divination. Each Odu represents a specific pattern of change in the universe, divided into light (masculine) and darkness (feminine). For example, Ogbe signifies light and positive beginnings, while Oyeku represents darkness and challenges. Understanding these Odus is crucial for interpreting Obí readings, as each Odu’s meaning depends on the orientation and combination of the Obí segments.
Chapter 12 explains how to decode Obí segments into Ifá codings, with each Odu (e.g., Ogbe, Oyeku, Iwori) indicating different outcomes like prosperity, challenges, or transformation, based on segment positions.
Chapter 13 discusses practical applications of Obí divination in Odu Ifá, using case studies to demonstrate how different patterns guide decisions on health, finances, relationships, and careers. The chapter emphasizes the importance of clear questions to obtain accurate answers in divination.
