Why did your Orisha choose you?

As I understand it, the reason the individual is chosen by the orisha is because this one may help with the needs that are specific to them in this life.

For the purpose of sparking a diverse conversation, I’d like to ask you, the reader, for why do you think your orisha chose you.

I’d like to start. Perhaps Azowano chose me because of my unstable upbringing and health problems.

My car warranty is up for renewal

Es un privilegio ser Omo Azojuano y ser parte de esta religión porque si no yo no hubiese llegado al primer año de vida. Hoy, el cardiólogo me dijo que tengo el corazón de un anciano y sin una cirugía es cuestión de tiempo antes que me de un infarto.

Orula registró que se me venció mi garantía y sin Itá se acaba lo que andaba.

Quiero darle gracia a todos los sacerdotes que me an cuidado hasta estas alturas, a los orichas, Shangó, y Azojuano. Love you all.

**A little backstory**

I worked in close collaboration of someone in the family who referred me patients for clinical work.

This someone was told recently during a misa and then later during an Ifá registro that I was speaking ill about her, was envious of her business, and even wished for her business to be harmed.

This has caused a terrible wedge in the family in which I have been accused of ill intent.

I don’t think I could have ever caused such evil upon this family member specially after this person was the one who helped my business stand on its first legs.

***My question***
Is there any way the Babalao could had misinterpreted the reading?
Is there any way the misa’s interpretation could had misled the family member?

I could not live with myself knowing I could have willingly caused such hatred to the very person who fed me the work that pays my very sustenance to this day. I am Omo Azojuano. I have been forbidden from my own home since I was but a boy. This wouldn’t be the first time others assume poisonous intentions from me but this is the first time it has been told through divination. I’m being accused of something that is against my own virtues. While I hold no guilt because there was never any intent, it is hard to conceptualize a world in which my new family measures my quality as a human being at such low standard here and out.

Any input is appreciated.
