ÒGÚN was the First AWO-Diviner of IFÁ Initiated by Ọ̀RÚNMÌLÀ:

ÒGÚN was the First AWO-Diviner of IFÁ Initiated by Ọ̀RÚNMÌLÀ: By AWO IFALENU from Ẹgbẹ́ Ódùn Olófin – The Spiritual Family of Olofin’s Secret. The Spirit TATA G:. (Spiritual Emissary of Baba Odùdúwà) gave this teaching, based on the Teachings that the Spirit has received from Baba Odùdúwà directly: TATA G says that Ògún was the first Awo Ifá (Ifá Diviner) Initiated by Ọ̀rúnmìlà. The First AWO IFÁ that created the IFÁ System as we more or less known, was Ọ̀RÚNMÌLÀ, and the first human initiated by Òrúnmìlà was the Human ÒGÚN, who was one of the 16 Disciples that came with Baba Odùdúwà from the Orient of Africa. The human Ògún was also initiated by Baba Odùdúwà in the ÒÒŞÀ Tradition, he incarnated the Essence of the IRÚNMOLÈ ÒGÚN, he was also the first to pass away and become the First One to become ÒRÌŞÀ. Ọ̀RÚNMÌLÀ first initiated ÒGÚN into IFÁ, then the other ones who came to be initiated was AKODA and AŞEDA. The spirit TATA G said that the first ÒÒŞÀ Initiated to use the 16 Cowrie Shell’s Oracle was the human ỌYA, who later became the ÒRÌŞÀ number 400 (in becoming ÒRÌŞÀ), then after Ọya, came one of the Humans with Essence of Obàtálá and used the 16 Cowrie Oracle. Question asked to the spirit TATA G: Baba Odùdúwà was an AWO (Diviner)? BABA ODÙDÚWÀ being a King of the Yoruba, other people did the Ifá Oracle Divination for him. Baba Odùdúwà knew many things, but as a King, his followers did all for him. Ọ̀RÚNMÌLÀ was the First AWONI (Awo-Diviner of the King) when Ọ̀rúnmìlà and Baba Odùdúwà meet, they Exchange Secrets, and Ọ̀rúnmìlà initiated Baba Odùdúwà in IFÁ, and Òrúnmìlà became the First AWONI (AWO OONI- Diviner of the King).
