Patakín:

Oyekun Bara was an awo of great luck in life, to conquer obini (women) and live well. He lived with his first wife, who was abeyawo [as in source], and he had a son with her, but he had no affection for her, because he no longer liked her.

Oyekun Bara lived in the land of Inle Tana, which was a land of ikupa (death), where he liked ogu (witchcraft) more than Ifa, and he dedicated himself to keeping things of Iku, without knowing that Iku had begun to walk around his house and wanted to dance with Awo Oyekun Bara.

Oyekun Bara began to obsess over eggun inkan buruku intori ogu and dedicated himself only to working with a witch's cauldron (cazuela de brujo), whereby he began to grow in power but to lose in tranquility, since his obini, who had power in her sight, saw Ikupa enter and leave his ile, and his omo (son) began to scream at night because he also saw her.

Oyekun Bara went so far as to throw his obini and his son out of his house. Both were children of Obatala, who for that reason had always given him luck. Obatala, seeing Oyekun Bara's behavior toward his children, cast a curse on him, and things began to turn upside down for him and go badly; he began to go hungry and could barely live; he occupied himself only with the things of Iku, whereby his leri (head) began to be unhinged.

One day Eshu Mako happened to pass by. Seeing that land populated by eggun inkan buruku (dark ones), he was frightened and went in search of Ozain, and both arrived, each with an osiadie, singing: "Eggun laboguede labera unlo ozain laboguede iku unlo eggun buruku unlo," doing sarayeye; and all the eggun inkan buruku [source: "and he foamed at the mouth" — the subject is unclear, apparently Oyekun Bara]. Then they came up to him and did sarayeye to him with the osiadie, which they gave to Ozain while they sang: "Eggun baloku lole eggun baloku lole unlo unlo, eggun buruku abeye ni iku ozain lele iku olokun eggun buruku unlo." When the influence of the eggun left him, they bathed him with ewefa and performed a rogation of his leri with eyele meyi fun fun (two white doves), giving them to Obatala, and they put him to sleep. He had a dream with his obini, in which he woke because Obatala was telling him that he had to make ebbo with what he had of Iku and ask pardon of his obini. He woke startled and did osode, where Oyekun Bara came out, which was his Ifa, and he made ebbo with what he had of ikupa and went to the land of Obatala to ask his pardon.

On the road he met his obini and his son, asked their pardon and gave them owo; and when he arrived at his ile, Obatala was waiting for him together with Elegba, Shango and Ozain.

Oyekun Bara knelt before Obatala and asked his pardon, repenting of everything he had done. Obatala said to him: "You will always have, as a memory of this in your life, stages of poverty and riches, and you will always have to lean on me and on Shango for your luck; moreover, you will always have to defend yourself from your enemies with Ozain, and Eshu Mako will live with you, who will guard the door of your house."

Whereupon Ozain swore it in his secret, and Oyekun Bara became again an awo of great power as before, with the same luck, but remembering that he could not let go of his wife and his son.
