Itadogun Ifa: Ifa Chant for Acceptance of Supplication (Itadogun Ifa: Ki Awọn Oriṣa o gba ibo)
By Chief FAMA

Ifa, ti ọwọ bo inu Odu rẹ
Ifa, put-hand deep-inside Odu yours
[Orunmila, please, reach down inside your coded text—Ifa]
Ki o ko ire t'emi le mi ni ọwọ
Must you pack ire mine on me in hand [and give me my own blessings]
Tori, o pe titi i ti ti mo ti nṣawo
Because it long very and very I that doing-awo
Mo se awo titi, mo se awo de ile Elesin-Oyan
I do awo very, I do awo reach house owner-horse Oyan [During this period of my service, I met with royalties (Kings)]
Mo se awo titi, mo se awo de ilu eyin Iwonran
I do awo very, I do awo reach town/country back Iworan [During this period of my service, I travelled across-the-oceans— I travelled overseas]
Mo se awo titi, mo ree ba ọlọja pin owun ni ori itẹ
I do awo very, I do meet with owner-of-market divide talk in head-throne [During this period of my service, I travelled, met with, and make far-reaching decisions with Kings and the Powerfuls]
Ifa, ṣebi awo ọlọrọ ni mo fẹẹ ṣe o
Ifa, it-is awo rich is I want do
Emi o ṣe awo otosi
Me not do awo poverty
Awo ọlọrọ ni mo fẹẹ ṣe o
Awo rich is I want do [Awo with positive influence, I desire to be]
Ifa, jọwọ, ki o ma ma kọ owun ẹnu ti emi (temi)
Ifa, please, must you not refuse voice mouth mine [Odumare via Orunmila, please, do not refuse my pleas for IRE]
Orunmila, jọwọ, ki o ma ma kọ owun ẹnu ti emi (temi)
Orunmila, must you not refuse voice mouth that mine
[Odumare via Orunmila, please, do not refuse my requests for all IRE]
Tori, ẹja nla wọn kii kọ owun onibu
Because fish big they not refuse voice owner-vast-water

Ìwerenjeje, wọn kii kọ owun Ọba Oriṣa (Obarisa), ati bee bee
Iwere-njeje, they not refuse voice King-Orisa, etc.
, etc.
Note: Even though this chant is truncated (it's beginning lines and most of its ending lines having been cut off), it is still potent as is. Personalized prayer can be added starting from the end of the last line.

Today is Itadogun Ifa. As usual, go before Ifa and make the necessary offerings. Also, to the Iyalorisas and Babalorisas in the forum, go before the respective Orisas and make the necessary offerings. Actually, today's offering before Ifa or the Orisas can be a family affair--we can upgrade it to the level of a devotional service. We can choose to be as modest as possible today being Itadogun Ifa; or, we can be as extravagant with our offerings as we choose. Either way we choose to worship the Orisas today, we should be mindful of the Orisas' code-of-conduct of respect to self and to others, responsibility to the Orisas, to self and to our respective communities, and honesty of purpose.

We should go before Ifa with obi abata meji, orogbo meji, ataare mesan (9 seeds for male) or meje (seven seeds for female), oti pupo (generous amount of oti), epo pupa pupo (generous amount of epo pupa), eku meji, eja meji or obi adiye meji (two hen). Even though the offerings to the Orisas defer to some extent, some of the central offerings can be given to the Orisas today. The central offerings include obi abata, orogbo, oti, epo pupa, omi tutu, and ataare. The exception is Sango who takes only orogbo; so, please, do not give obi abata to Sango. Obatala takes obi ifin (white obi abata) and no oti and epo pupa. Osanyin takes ataare. Esu accepts all the listed items. Ogun accepts all the items, too, but substitute omi tutu with emu ope (palm wine) or oti.

The above partial chant from a verse of an Odu Ifa will be a potent back up to our individual and collective prayers to Odumare today, the day of Itadogun Ifa. May Odumare, via the Irunmoles, accept our supplications everyday and everything we take our pleas to the Irunmoles. Ase. A ji ire ni oni o (we wake up with ire today—"Good Morning").
