Offerings to the Òrìṣá

[Omowale]

I would like us to discuss offerings. Can be from personal experience or from a historical reference. This may or may not include:

• Locations or climates to set a shrine to pay homage
• Food a particular Òrìṣá likes
• Color of cloth

For example it is said to appease Eṣú that one can setup a shrine at a crossroads. Eṣú is often described as the mediator between good and bad, positive and negative. Eṣú is where two perpendicular roads meet. Palm oil can be offered.

[Falowo Fayemi]

Cola nuts (bitter cola nuts in Shango's case), palm oil and corn meal seems to be a universal staple food for the Orishas
