Types of ire and osogbos

Below is a list of the Ire and the Osogbos respecting their form.
It is not absolutely necessary for the Ifa priest to pronounce them.
in that language; for Eshu, the deity that has the perfect ability to function as
interpreted between Ifa, the diviner and the consultant, it is ensured that there is never a lack of the
correct understanding of our desires, worries, etc.
IRE (UREE)GOOD
Don't worry, there is no prospect of danger, the consultant must have more
peace of mind.
Good Fortune or Good Assembly: Either way, this Good Fortune can be headed.
In general terms, the meaning is the same. If we analyze the etymology of both.
we have words.
i.e. Aiku: The particle 'a' as a prefix negates the action of what it enunciates, for example: if
Iku means death, Aiku means that there is no death, which is the same as life and health.
Ire Ariku: The word ariku is composed of three particles which are:
A----Denial.
Ri---Action of looking.
Iku--Death.
Because Ariku literally means, not to see death.
Ire according to ota: Regarding this Ire, it must be analyzed deeply.
Well, there are several errors regarding the interpretation of the particles that make up
this word. Some interpret it as the defeat of enemies through the
stones of the saint, which is a mistake because Ota is not a stone but an enemy, in reality
stone is okuta.
The decomposition of the phrase According to ota is as follows.
This is Grace.
Gun------Winning work.
Take------Enemy.
So according to ota, it means grace of overcoming difficulties.
This Ire includes the word Kolañadio, which when analyzed well
means:
Ko--------No
Strain------Power of the obstacles.
God-------Action.
That is, the difficulties will be overcome.
In summary, Ire Isegun Ota Kolañadio is a tool for overcoming difficulties and
enemies.
