The Story of Shango
STORY of SHÀNGÓ, ÒGE & ÒRÚNMÌLÀ: How SHÀNGÓ became King of Kings:
This Story was given orally by the Spirit TATA G, Emissary of Baba Oduduwa at ÈGBÉ ÓDÙN OLÓFIN - The Spiritual Family of OLÓFIN'S SECRET. SHÀNGÓ was a type of young person that nobody love him or wanted him, when SHÀNGÓ grew up; SHÀNGÓ discovers a method of Divination that would revolutionize everything, that method or tool to be use as Oracle is the ÒPÈLÈ (or Ekuele), that is known as the Chain of Divination. SHÀNGÓ meets a man called Òrúnmìlà, and this man told him: “Why are going up and down making so many mistakes in your life?” SHÀNGÓ replies: “I don’t know”. Òrúnmìlà asked SHÀNGÓ; Do you know who you are? Òrúnmìlà told him: “You are an spiritual direct descendant of Baba Oduduwa, and You have the path of the THRONE, but up to now you haven’t earned it”. TATA “G” Comments: From this comes the saying; “Kings are not born, they are put in the Throne”. Òrúnmìlà told him: “I am going to exchange this tool of Divination you use, the ÒPÈLÈ, and you are going to say to people that this method in mine, and in return, I will guide you in the path that you should follow in order to become a King”. ShÀNGÓ agrees, and he gives his ÒPÈLÈ to Òrúnmìlà. SHÀNGÓ explains to him how to use the ÒPÈLÈ and how it works. ShÀNGÓ was the Fourth Aláàfin of OYO. The word Aláàfin means “Heir of the Secrets”; this is what Baba Oduduwa through his Elègún (medium) has revealed. Baba Oduduwa gave a praise to SHÀNGÓ:“Mojuba SHÀNGÓ, Aláàfin Olófin Ayé” that means: I Praise ShÀNGÓ, the Heir (Aláàfin) of Olófin (the Owner of the Secrets) of Ayé (the World).
