10 – OFUN

The Benevolent Serenity of OFUN:

Under Oxalá's gentle tutelage, the Odu OFUN reveals a personality that is like a polished diamond - apparently cantankerous, but incredibly precious. Those who carry the influence of this Odu may be seen as carrying a distant aura, but this facade serves as a protective shield to safeguard the generous heart and goodwill they possess. Sensitive and serene, they are like resilient trees that bend before the storms of life, adapting with grace to the ups and downs.

The appearance of being grumpy is just the shell of OFUN, a strategy to protect what is hidden behind it. The influence of Oxalá, the father of the orixás and symbol of peace and wisdom, teaches those under this Odu not to be deceived by superficial appearances. Like Oxalá, they understand that someone's true essence is often hidden beneath layers of experiences and defenses.

The protective shield of OFUN is an armor against the exploitation of benevolent feelings. They understand the depths of their own hearts, knowing that their goodwill can be taken advantage of by others if they are not careful. This caution is a manifestation of Oxalá's wisdom, allowing them to discern where to invest their generosity and where to draw healthy boundaries.

Sensitivity is an intrinsic quality to OFUN. They are like an emotional barometer, able to perceive the subtle nuances of the world around them. This sensitivity is intertwined with serenity, allowing them to face life's fluctuations with calm and adaptability. They are like gently flowing rivers, skirting the rocks in the path and flowing with the current of life.

In short, OFUN is an Odu that takes us to delve into the deep layers of the personality. Oxalá's influence creates a symphony of caution and generosity, façade and essence. Those under this Odu are invited to use their protective shield with discernment, to embrace their sensitivity as a gift, and to face life with serenity and adaptability. OFUN is a journey in search of truth beyond appearances, an invitation to be authentic even when the world can only see the shell.
