Ẹlẹ́rìí Ìpín. Art by Hannah Ebunoluwa Morenikeji Bello, from Ìwà Pẹ̀lẹ́ Tarot.

Ẹlẹ́rìí ní yanjú ẹjọ́; ẹlẹ́rìí kì ṣe elégbè. - It is a witness who straightens out a matter; a witness is not a seconder. ...The Ẹlẹ́rìí Ìpín reminds us that co-creation is a big part of the birth and rebirth cycle, with Olódùmárè actively involving us in the formulation of our own destiny. We have free will to choose and accept the requisites, thereby setting up the parameters for our own final judgment. It reminds us that judgment is never done in isolation, and it is not one size fits all. It is based on choices made in the earthly realm in relation to the terms selected and conditions accepted in the heavenly realm. It turns out, after all, that we are indeed the masters of our fate and the captains of our soul.

Igbá Méjì. Art by Hannah Ebunoluwa Morenikeji Bello, from Ìwà Pẹ̀lẹ́ Tarot.

Abiyamọ, ab'ọ̀já gbòrò gboro ​- Nurturer, the one with the broad carrier sash. Igbá Méjì speaks to the depths of human connections and emotional bonds. It reminds us of the beauty of unconditional love, the importance of finding harmony and balance, and the power that comes from the union of two individuals or energies. Incorporating the symbolism of abaraméjì, this card encourages us to embrace the concept of duality and recognize the strength that comes from partnerships. Be inspired to cultivate deep, meaningful connections and celebrate the power of love and togetherness. Dedicating one’s life to another is the ultimate expression of love. It transcends the fleeting pleasures and material possessions, providing a deeply felt sense of fulfillment and purpose. Despite what many people believe, it is not about losing one's identity or self in the process, but about finding a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment through the bond shared with a loved one. It is about building a partnership based on trust, respect, and mutual growth. Together, two individuals embark on a shared journey, shaping each other’s lives and experiences. But even as Igbá Méjì draws on the unparalleled connection between the abiyamọ and the child, life progresses, seasons change and roles shift. The nurturer becomes the nurtured, and the nurtured becomes the nurturer, transforming the bond between an adult child and an elderly parent. The once-dependent child now assumes the role of a caregiver, providing love, care, and support for their aging parent. Despite the challenges that come with the passage of time, the connection grows stronger, transforming into one based on mutual admiration and gratitude. Dedicating one’s life to another is a beautiful testament to the depth of our capacity to love and be loved.  In Ire: Admiration, affection, affinity, agreement, compassion, compromise, connection, devotion, engagement, interdependence, mutual love, nonpartisanship, optimism, partnership, receptiveness, reconciliation, self love, sincerity In Ibi: Ambiguity, antagonism, anxiety, bigotry, bitterness, calumny, codependency, disconnection, discord, disparity, disregard, dissolution, enmity, hesitation, hypocrisy, indifference, impressionable, liability, neglect, pessimism, possession, restriction, separation, tough love
