Otura Meji
Otura is the source of mystic vision. Mystic vision puts one's Ori in alignment with source (Olodumare). Otura is the foundation of an individual's sense of destiny and purpose in the world. Odu Otura Meji brings peace of mind and freedom from anxiety. In its negative manifestation, it can it can be the source of an inflated sense of self importance, or identifying with something other than source, such as greed, nationalism, racism or moral superiority. Children of Otura Meji are of gentle character. They are good at business, especially buying and selling. They must know when to rest, for they can easily suffer physical or nervous collapse due to overexertion. They should do make offerings to Esu frequently for protection.
ese OturaMeji
Okiti-ogan-af'idij'ago cast Ifa for Otu
He was told to offer two tortoises in order to become wealthy
Otu listened and did the ebo
The Awo warned Otu not to kill the tortoises, but to sell them
Through a casting of lots, he should decide were to sell them
when he arrived at the town he was offered
eighty bags of money for the tortoises
Esu advised Otu not to accept the price
Esu is always in favor of the one who does proper ebo
when the price was raised to several hundred bags
Esu advised him to accept the offer
this was how Otu became wealthy
Otu praised the awo, the awo praised Orunmila
and Orunmila praised Olodumare
the awo began to sing, and Esu put a song in their mouths:
Ijo ti Otu ra Awun meji
ki ama pee ni "Oturameji"
The day Otu bought two tortoises
should be called "Oturameji"
