"Water has no enemy. Yet and still, there comes the time when you must battle the spirit of water as a rite of passage. In the Holy Odu OgundaOturupon, for example, Ogun Lakaiye was king. The spirit of water challenged him to a war. And when Ogun refused, the spirit of water threatened to dry up the kingdom and destroy Ogun's people.



 When besieged by the spirit of water, the first thing you must accept that there is nothing concrete to grasp. Although you are facing a physical challenge, it is neither solid nor subject to any type of force. Extreme self control and total adherence to what is revealed spiritually are all that matter. To shirk from your spiritual obligations and fail to meet the water challenge will only invite even more severe conditions later on. To battle the spirit of water is to learn to relax and depend upon subtle communications revealed intuitively, in dreams and through divination. In this way, living the medicine requires spiritual discernment. Learn more in the Fundamentals of Orisa Lifestyle.
