Proverbs of the sign: The woman is a river where all guiros break; you never know when a woman sins, nor when the millet falls; the kestrel woman puts war and fire in her eggs; dog that barks doesn’t bite.
In this sign is born the disease called Vitiligo (Leucodemia); the consecration of the mummies; the Book of the Dead; the myth of syncretizing Oggun with San Pedro; the secret of why OGUN gets a key; the movement of hands to write; the large crown of Yewá; the knife’s edge; the virtue of a falling cat always landing on its feet; it speak’s of the balance of the world where Shango took three laps like a ram; it speaks about phenomena in Heaven; they speak of three things: the home, prison and the tomb; Oturasa’s fortune is the ODUARA (stone beam); it insists on caring for eyesight; be careful whom you allow in your home.
