15 Duties that we must fulfill with our Orishas

All who belong to the Osha Rule they maintain a lifelong religious covenant with deities, a commitment that demands love and respect. Many times we do not know how to care for the Orishas and what duties and obligations we maintain with them from the day we receive them in our life.

We religious must bear in mind that in that pact of religiosity with Olofin, Olorun, Oloddumare, Orishas and Egguns balance, harmony is present in our life since we began in the Rule of Osha.

In our deities we find calm, emotional and corporal firmness, you discover answers and you strengthen your spiritual growth, but norms that have been developed and preserved based on the values inherited from our ancestors must be met.

We must be respectful and grow to reach a higher spiritual echelon.

Deberes of faith with our deities:

Look at the sky, raise your left hand which is that of the heart and ask for the blessing of Olofi, Olorun, Oloddumare and Egguns who are in the Ara Onú (those who live in the kingdom where the truth reigns, our ancestors and ancestors).
Every day when you wake up you must ask God for blessing, your Orishas and protective spirits, give thanks for a new day and offer eternal gratitude.
They must be attended with respect, care and dedication, but above all with great faith and devotion.
The Orishas should never be abandoned, they will live where you live.
You should always count on them to do a ceremony, ebbó (cleaning), adimú (offering), drum, parties or any type of ritual on your behalf.
You must show them respect, you must not curse or judge the offers they make to your life, only they know what you really need and have a perfect plan for you, accept it.
Whatever matter you have to do in your life, count on them to make your way. Take them into account in your decisions and thus avoid looking for them in your problems.
You should not show the inside of the tureens where they live, much less tell their secrets, the consecrated attributes that you receive are divine.
Give them special attention, and at the end of each year you should pass your hand, clean them, also on Osha's birthday.
Without counting on them, nothing is decided, it is their advice that saves you.
In front of them do not behave in a decomposed way, nor shout, nor be obscene, nor walk naked. In his presence our actions must be respectful.
We must lovingly accept all the precepts that religion entails in order to continue preserving the traditions of our ancestors.
The mat establishes direct communication with the energy of the Orishas, use it to converse with them, to greet them and offer gratitude.
Our deities are sacred, you should not only remember them in times of crisis, but also attend to them and thank them in good times. "Shangó, whether it thunders or not, must be remembered."
In the same conditions as your saints, your life will be organized and clean. The altars and sacred spaces of our deities must remain clean and cared for, so that our well-being is also balanced.
