Advice from a Santera to start the Year: 10 simple rituals

On this earth we do not possess religious knowledge above anyone else, we only learn something new every day and we humbly share our knowledge to the extent that we can do so with the blessing and permission of our elders, the Orishas and Egguns who administer us.

To you who accompanied usañan each day a thousand thanks and blessings for allowing us to bring you our words, advice, and religious information that we believe nourishes our knowledge and helps us grow spiritually.

Every day we must defend and strengthen as good religious our Yoruba religion based above all on humility and respect, ethics that we must adhere to to receive blessings from our Orishas and Egguns.

Whenever one year ends and another begins, before starting the new cycle it is appropriate to do small works, ebboses, offerings, spiritual and holy baths, which help us to close stages and attract the good.

In this way we are preparing to leave the negative behind and receive new positive energies, starting the year. With the right foot, as the saying goes.

You can do the ritual you want on these dates, but I always remind you to do it with faith and I assure you it will bring its fruits with many blessings.

And remember, it is not just faith in what you do, but in your Orishas and Egguns that protect and protect you every day, they are the ones who fight battles in your favor, the ones who wake you up with a smile and give you the joy of living. .
