Who respects, understands and loves Yoruba religion He always wants to please his Orishas by offering Adimú (offerings) that he likes.
The addimu also leads by means of prayers to consolidate what is desired, but much more important is to offer it from the heart and have faith that everything will be given to him with the blessing of his Orisha at the moment that he determines it.
Remember that all that is offered to the Orisha are fruits, drinks, desserts, vegetables, greens and meats, they must be clean and fresh, without stains, well cared for, or mistreated, just as we like it.
