What does Etutu means?

 


Etutu

Etutu (appeasement) is another type of ebo.  This is done primarily to right any or all wrongs in the life of a client.  When it had been established that, on a particular issue or problem, the life and destiny of a client is in total conflict, the etutu is prescribed.  Etutu is usually prescribed when any situation is becoming unbearable for a client.

During the period of imbroglio, etutu is prescribed to bring back normalcy into the community.  When there is disaster, etutu is prescribed to put an end to such unfortunate happening.  When there is pestilence in a community, etutu is recommended. 

When divorce rate is too high in a community, etutu is recommended.  When the economy of a community is in ruins or the community itself is on the brink of total collapse, etutu is recommended.  When there is emotional or mental agony of unprecedented proportion for a client, then etutu is recommended.

Etutu is taken from the words “Etu-titu” meaning “to appease”.  Etutu is therefore an appeasement to the evil spirits to put a stop to their unwanted machinations in order to bring back the life of the client to normalcy and in harmony with the client’s destiny.  Etutu is not meant to enhance a person, a community, nation or an organization’s luck or good fortune.  It is rather meant to redress ill-luck or misfortune and re-establish the person, institution or nation back to be in tune with destiny. 

Etutu is offered as ebo (Irubo or Ebo Riru) but it is more complicated than Irubo.  It entails more systematized actions.  It is therefore advisable to leave this in the hands of the Adepts.  Anything used for Etutu cannot be used by the client.

According to Ifa, an apetebi is the wife of Ifa, and not necessarily, the wife of a Babalawo or an ifa practitioner. A woman may be advised to have the symbol of Ifa on her person in order to solve a specific problem in life or to accelerate to the realization of certain goals for her while the husband may not be an Ifa practitioner at all.

Ẹ̀rìndínlógún in the old way of using it: Baba Odùdúwà: In ancient times, the "Cowrie Shell" was used whole. They didn’t took the belly out (the womb) as it done now in many places, when the full Cowrie was used (without opening the "belly"), the reading of the Oracle was something different, if the Cowrie Shell falls with the belly up, this means that it does not speak.
