One thing human beings do not realize is that we are all marked for progress,

success, happiness and that the nature also marks some individuals for
destruction, losses, fear, worry, sickness, and failure. Mark is a secret sign of
GOD to identify who will be blessed and who are to be cursed. Marks are
emblems of divine sign to separate the chosen from the unchosen, to
differentiate the wise (awo) from the fool (ogberi). Likewise IFA marks are
secret knowledge of ORUNMILA to identify problems arising from earthly
disorder and the heavenly punitive knights.

IFA marks are mystical codes and divinie signs to gain freedom from evil
vibrations and to gain the attention of GOD and his numerous divinities and
unknown deities in the cosmos, so that our happy lot can be preserved and our
misfortune can be eradicated or eliminated, hence every IFA devotees and men
of wisdom must learn the various signs or marks of each odu and use it to gain
victory over Ajogun and all earthly attacks.

Use the sign or the mark at the first day of the week or the first day of the
year, or the first hour of the day to give you a great spiritual power and divine
strength to attract the bundle of unseen divine power to whatever you trend
that day, or that week or that year. IFA says, the mark attracts and installs
positive vibrations to your life and improves your relationship with GOD and
his numerous messengers and your guiding divinity.

The marks are signs of harmony, peace and serenic atmosphere to bring to
contact the seen and the unseen, the material and the ideal, the physical and
the spiritual, the tangible and intanglible, the higher force and the lower
forces, there by creating a conducive and harmonious environment for the
victory of the weak and the happiness of the superior.

The marks ensure that the tangible and the material or the seen are guarded in
the cosmos, tutored, protected and directed by the divinities responsible for
the life victory and life success. The marks are also a medium to enable the
wise one to pass through the jungle and fire of life without being hurt by the
unseen forces of punitive knights of heavenly doom (AJOGUN OR ALAJOGUN)which is the power from the Ether or the negative power from unknown that
consumes and affects every life in nature. Moreso, the marks deter the power
of Elenini (those that hate you for just no reason); it deters the power of omo
araiye (the witches and wizards of the world that are bend to destroy your

fortune if you are not intelligent enough to deter their forces through sound
spiritual enlightenment; the power of Aseni, -- the imperfect energies and the
enemies within the family or friends that constantly disturb the peace of the
members of the family and also the happiness and the success of the
members.

Olori-kuku, the stubborn ones, if not curbed want to see that we are being
consumed by the negative forces of charms, rituals and sacrifices; Inunibini the evil thoughts, and constant evil thinking, doubt, anger that normally crop
up in our hearts, or our mind. It is the thought affecting our progress, our
success and attracting other abundant evil thoughts from ether to crash us or
crash others whom we hold in our thoughts. IFA says, evil thoughts affect our
progress and our destiny, our happiness, our success and establish a strong
negative power in our environment. If not negated, they can be a destructive
mechanism to tear away the family and cause a lot of unreparable damages,
not only to our lives but to our future generations.

There are also

epe tabi eegun idile: ancestral curse which we must rectify through iwure,
prayer, etutu-rituals
ebo: sacrifices
isese: traditional spiritual Stepps
itefa: that is initiation
isera: fasting
ohun: powerful spiritual words

lastly, through daily use of the mark sign of odu, and also of the proper odu.

We should always try to mark the sign to enable us get over evil thoughts, evil
establishment, evil desire of others and evil manifestation from the ether.

The marks destroy the power outside home, and they will demarcate our path
and our ways from those who are marked for destruction. The mark is a victory,
success sign and also attraction to goodness from ether. The marks are touch
of divine and symbol of higher spiritual forces. IFA says it is a mark of life and
victory, and of success.

This week, we shall mark Oyeku Iwori to push us to the line of happiness,
victory, success, joy, strength, power, health, peace and harmony, the mark
will also deter the power of envy, and jealousy from others to us and from us to
others or destructive powers within, that are responsible for our abitrary habits
and character that are not conform to divine glory. The mark is as follows:
