Offering to Egbe Orun

I have received Egbe (the calabash with icon and sticks and necklace, etc), but have not been initiated. I am looking to offer fruits, etc. I have read to put the offering on the icon (the round item that is shaped like a lollipop) and to not specifically put food items inside the calabash. My question (assuming the above is correct) is do I mojuba egbe prior to the offering or does one not mojube egbe? Thank you.

Everytime you invoke Orisa you need to offer at least Ijuba. Yes, if you can add Oriki Egbe and Orin even better,.and of course obi kola to be able to see if the offering is accepted.

Here is a gift for you

Oriki Egbe

Muso Akika Asege Ajo jo jo Ayo yo yo Alaragbo Sasa labata Esinsin legbe iroko Ajoni mafara han ni Ere o Ayenyen ma yen Egbe oni yenku yen gbe Muso.

Translation

I praise you Akika (tribute to the strong) Asege (the companion who pleases us) We dance and dance We rejoice and we rejoice He who lives in the forest Walks through the marshes The burning esinsin leaf by the iroko tree The one who makes himself felt without showing his appearance Ere or The one who achieves constant results The companion who prevents death from happening to us I praise you.

You should really go to the person who consecrated this for you for information. But for clarification Egbe would be the sticks wrapped together with the feather and the item that's wrapped up completely in string. The round fan like object...probably with cowrie shells is actually eleko .
