Many of us face bad streaks from time to time in our lives, and these become great stones that hinder our passage at an energetic and spiritual level to be able to continue.
If you find yourself in such a situation, I offer you this offering (addimú) to Elegguá, the little giant of the Osha, Orisha warrior and owner of destiny.
So, we will do this Addimú to Elegguá first to thank the Yoruba boy for his eternal blessings and then to beg him to help us in the situation we are going through.
It is a very simple and very beautiful offering that Elegguá will like, remember to put a lot of faith, humility and purpose in your prayer.
At the end of the offering you can turn it into Ebbó if you think it is necessary. If you want, you can read more about this topic here: What is an Ebo? Sacred Astral Cleansing

A ritual in the form of an offering to Eleguá. How do you do it?
Remember to put faith in everything you give to the little Yoruba, because although faith will not make things easy for you, it will make them possible.
- First you light the candle in the name of Elegguá, you blow brandy and tobacco smoke and give him knowledge of what you are going to offer him and what you need.
- You wash the bomb fruit beforehand to get all kinds of energy out of it and dry it with a clean cloth.
- If it is a whole bomb fruit, you cut it into three equal parts and put it on the plate.
- You place the plate in front of Elegguá and over the fruit add smoked jutía, smoked fish and toasted corn, you should also sprinkle the colored balls.
- Talking with Elegguá you will begin to pour honey over the addimú (the fruit) and over Elegguá also a little bit, and you will say these words.
Short prayer dedicated to Eleguá:
Elegguá owner of my destiny, great warrior and protector of mine,
Thank you for always taking care of me and my home,
That just as I pour this honey on you, the sweetness of prosperity comes into my life, removing every obstacle from my path. With your blessing I walk always, thank you.
Attract the development and well-being you need by opening paths with Elegguá
This addimú to Elegguá you will leave it for a space of three days, every day you must light the candle for a while in his name.
On the third day you must remove the addimú and take it to the mountain or manigua with 3 cents of right.
When you return home you must wash Elegguá and spread corojo butter, smoked jutía, smoked fish and roasted corn on his representation, and light a candle end.
How do we make ebbo with this addimú to Elegguá?
As I told you at the beginning, you can also take a bath with that addimú, but it would already be Ebbó.
To do this you just have to mix the elements of the offering with the bath water, let it rest for a few minutes placing a candle in front of it in the name of Eleguá and giving knowledge of what we are going to do to the orisha, and then we bathe with that water.
As a spiritual precaution, avoid pouring the water on your head (only from the neck down) and while you shower, leave the candle lit, do so by asking for what you need and talking to Eleguá.
I always recommend wearing light-colored or white clothes after the ritual baths, so that good energy stays with us and nothing bad sticks to us.
- In case you don't have Eleguá You can also do this ritual, do it behind the main door of the house, if you can't at least avoid places like bedrooms and bathrooms out of respect for the Orisha.
May the protection and blessing of Elegguá always be with you.
