OBARA MEJI (7)
Ifa says obara meji is the beginning of the power of witches and development of the vibration of wizard and other contrary energies in the universe. Ifa speaks of the origin of man as the basis of Obara meji.
Obara meji speaks of the beginning of light, goodness, smartness, intelligence, docile and inoffensive life.
With the passing of the time, the evil intention of man become real and clear in the universe, hence man appears to always be in constant fear, anger, hatred, confusion, rejection, and darkness.
It is when man is conscious of his divine state and his spiritual capacities that man would overcome all these ajoguns (hatred, confusions, loss, ill health and other negative vibration).
Obara meji states that most men express good intention in the beginning of life, personal relationship with others and contact along their earthly journey.
Later he changes to become the lion that roars, intend to devour the flesh of others, he is filled with evil thinking that his whole life becomes radiated with sorrow, rejection, sadness and failure.
While obara meji speaks of unrecognised enemies and strong adversaries, hence, life is at the mercy of divinity and the support of OLODUMARE which according to Ifa verse is

Translation:
The graceful dance of the tall masquerade
Divine ifa for Orunmila Baba Agboniregun
Ifa says, he will reveal his enemies through
ifa oracular form
Your concealed enemies who are masquerade as friends
First is the cobra in the field
I know him, I know his enmity now
And will propitiate him
Next is the tall one of the forest, whose real name is wickedness
I know him, I know his enmity now
And will propitiate him
Next is the pythom of the marshland
I know him, I know his enmity now
And will propitiate him
Next is the short one of the plains whose real name is jealousy
I know him now
And will propitiate him
