Treaty of Abita

The story tells that, on earth, Abita lived, posing as a great character. Because of this, everyone showed immense appreciation and respect for the entity, who also earned their consideration by going every day to where Olofin was, in the other head.

As Elegba was Olofin’s cook, and to whom it corresponded to set the table, he frequently made his dislike for Abita, serving the food in a bad way and in a hurry. Thus, Olofin observed him saying “Kuele Kuele”. Each time he would ask the entity why it let Abita sit across from him at the table.

It was then that Elegba began to think about taking some evil against Abita, seeing how Olofin always required it. One day, while he was going out into the street at twelve o’clock, he met an abalakana.

He took it, lit a flame in it and called Abita, singing and calling Eggun. She dedicated herself to performing the same ceremony repeatedly, but Abita hid and avoided going outside at those times.

One day Elegba took an eñi adie in his hands, which he began to play with the agogo. Abita still did not come out, scared of the entity. When he began to see the shadow, he went out into the street despite hearing Elegba singing “Eggun Agualodeo Bayekun Orun Abaniye Logua Eggun Abita Mogua Nile Ocuoro.”

The Eggun confused Abitawho immediately took abalakana ina and eyele dun dun and began to dance until he finally ingested it.

Elegba, who saw the scared Eggun and Abita, threw water to clean himself with the osiadie he was holding. At the same time she began to sing “Eggun Baleku Lode Eggun, Bolo Un Lode Un Lolenlo Ayebi Lorun Awa Lole Awa Lole Abiyeru Kun Olorun Eggun Abeye Ni Ku Oorun Agua Lode”.

When the Eggun withdrew and Abita calmed down, Elegba returned to the Ile de Olofin. The entity confessed that he had witnessed everything, but that he planned to forgive him because he too had been scared.

In this way, Olofin told him that he knew that he wanted to know why he was placing Abita at the head of his table, but that he was not going to answer him.

Abita continued eating in the company of Olofin, while Elegba served her apparently happy, even though it was not like that.

That is why Abita returned in different forms, so that Elegba did not recognize him. Even so, he had no evidence to accuse whoever wanted to do him harm.

On one occasion Elegba forgot to perform the ceremony, and when he met Abita in her usual place, he couldn’t stand another second. She immediately told Olofin that she needed him to tell her the truth, why he let the guest sit in front of him.

Olofin replied, “This being that you see in front of you represents everything bad in the world. For the world to exist, there must be both good and bad.

You have committed a foul against Abita, so from now on you will have to take it.

you wanted to disconcert Abita with Eggun. Therefore, you will do your will. Make those who live on earth according to the good and the bad, sharing with Abita.

Now I will be the one to serve you the food, so you will do my bidding. Without being able to avoid it, she has given you my secret.”

During the time that this itana lasts, the lives of my children will last.”

Due to his appearance, when someone threatened him, he would start puffing up, making them run away in fear, and keeping them away.

The more tears she cried, the more her body was filled with thorns. When Shango finally showed up to check on her son’s condition, she was moved by the suffering she was going through.

That was how he gave an immense scream, turned around like a ram and turned Abita. At that moment, she said in a loud and firm tone: “I am Abita. I am Shango. And I am Orunmila. I’m going to give you the power to defeat your enemies. I am going to give you the power to alleviate your sorrows and your pains”.

With these words he took his son by the hand and led him to the nearest tree, leading him to the men who were attacking and fearing him. In this way he said a prayer to her, giving her the great power of him.

Along with his blessing, he gave her a gold ring that had a black stone on it and said these words: “Whenever you need me, come to the foot of the tree with this ring. Shout out what I have taught you. I will come to help you immediately. I will immediately come to defend you.”
