Why ORUNMILA give eshu (ESU) sacrifice after eshu help ORUNMILA to betray OBATALA

According to Ifá mythology, Orunmila gave Eshu sacrifice as a form of appeasement and gratitude for Eshu’s role in helping Orunmila reveal Obatala’s secrets.

The Odu Ifá “Oyeku Meji” suggests that Orunmila offered sacrifices to Eshu, acknowledging Eshu’s power and influence in the situation. This sacrifice may have been a way for Orunmila to:

1. Show gratitude: Orunmila may have been thankful for Eshu’s help in revealing Obatala’s secrets, which ultimately gave Orunmila an advantage.

2. Appease Eshu: By offering sacrifices, Orunmila may have sought to appease Eshu and prevent further chaos or conflict.

3. Maintain balance: The sacrifice may have been a way to maintain balance and harmony in the universe, acknowledging Eshu’s role in the events that transpired.

The specific sacrifice offered by Orunmila to Eshu is not explicitly stated in the Odu Ifá, but it may have included items such as:

– Food offerings (e.g., beans, corn, or fruits)

– Drinks (e.g., palm wine or other sacred beverages)

– Animals (e.g., chickens, goats, or other sacred animals)

– Other sacred items (e.g., cowry shells, beads, or sacred stones)

This is why ESU has been accepting sacrifice from ifa and ORUNMILA for centuries to keep the friendship and promises
