Pataki:
Yemaya was married to Orúnmila, great diviner of the land of Ife, who performed miracles and had a large clientele. By then, Orunmila was intimately connected with secret snails (Diloggun), for Yemaya, mistress of the sea, fish, marine snails and everything, I communicated. He, in turn, interpreted these secrets through Oddun and legends.

It happened that a day Orúnmila had to make a long and tedious journey to attend a meeting he had called Olofi Awo, and as it took longer than imagined Yemaya, it ran out of money, so I decided to apply his technique and wisdom to consult on its behalf, who needed help. When someone came to look for Orúnmila for consultation, she told him not to worry and shoot the Diloggun. As the teller was born, his predictions were a great success and saved many people Ebó.

Orúnmila, en route to his house, he heard that there was a fortune teller and miraculous woman in her village. He, like all odd-man-disguised and wondering where the woman lived, he reached home.

Yemaya, the discovery, said:
"Did you think that I would die of hunger?"

So he, enraged, took her in front of Olofin, wisest of the wise, who decided that Orúnmila ekuele register with the Ekin and Até of Ifa, which dominate the Diloggun Yemaya. But he warned that when Orúnmila Yemaya Oddun out in all Babalawos tended to pay homage, with his forehead touching the board and say, Ebbo Eboada Fi.
