An excerpt from Odu Ifá - Eji Ogbe
(Feel free to share what this verse means to you in the comments)

Verse:
Iti bi iti associate of Iti bi iti, Ata bata, associate of bata
Divined for the fortunate man on his journey from heaven to earth

A man enquired on what to do that he may obtain every good fortune from the gods on the way to earth. He was told to sacrifice four pigeons and two hundred cowries. He made the sacrifice.

He was then told to take along with him four bean cakes, four snails and four sekete wine to give to the god. The reason for this is that when a person is coming from heaven to earth and gets to the gate of the deity called Orisa nla, he can only ask for one fortune which Orisa nla will grant.
If he asks for money, Orisa nla will say ‘So be it’ but he must not ask for anything else, because Orisa nla does not approve two different fortunes for anyone.

When the man got to the gate, Orisa nla asked him where he was going, he said he simply came to give Orisa nla the bean cakes, the snails and the wine. At that very moment, Orisa nla was hungry, so he immediately asked for the food to be prepared for him and he started eating.

As Orisa nla took his second mouthful of food, the fortunate man quickly said that he was on his way to the earth, and he wished to choose money, a wife, children and long life. As soon as he finished, Orisa nla said ‘so be it’ and the request was ratified by the gong.

After the fortunate man’s departure, Orisa nla asked his assistants “Who chose four fortunes?” they said it was the fortunate man. Orisa nla was surprised, however he could not change it.

When the fortunate man got to the earth, he had every good fortune. He praised the Ifá priests, the Ifá priests praised Ifá, and Ifá in turn also praised God.

He says the priests chanted Ifá as follows:
Iti bi iti associate of Iti bi iti, Ata bata, associate of bata
Divined for the fortunate man who chose destiny on the day the bean cake strangled Orisa nla.

Song:
I chose wealth, I chose wife, I also chose children and I chose long life with it.

The Dogon myth is famous for its astronomical knowledge, especially about the star system Sirius.
Dogon elders passed down knowledge of Sirius A, and its companion, the dense invisible white dwarf Sirius B.
They knew its fifty-year elliptical orbit and its extreme density, long before Western telescopes confirmed it.
This knowledge, they say, was brought to them by the Nommo.
They are beings of water, the essence of life itself, and their story is central to ordering the world and the origins of humanity.
They descend in a great ark, spiraling down like the sun's rays, carrying the seeds of all plants and the foundations of civilization.
The ark is a microcosm of the universe, containing what’s needed to build life and society.
Their arrival purifies the land, and organizes the world according to a divine plan
