Ìròsùn Méjì

['I', 'I', 'II', 'II']

Blood. Lineage. Memory.

The camwood Odù. Family, menstruation of time, what the house remembers.

Naming. Lineage questions. When a child asks whose blood they carry.

Ìròsùn is camwood — the red powder of ceremony. In class it sits next to oríkì orílẹ̀: ọmọ who? The marks are two open, two closed. Teach ẹ̀jẹ̀ (blood) and irúnmọlẹ̀ with care. This Odù is how Ifá keeps genealogy as literature.
