Cleaning and boiling the home with the coconut after 7 days

So we do the Ebbó with Yemayá:

On the seventh day you run the coconut with your foot all over the house, starting at the back and ending at the front door, to collect everything bad from our spaces.

Once this cleaning is finished, you pick it up with the help of a dustpan or other object, without touching it with your hand.

Then you take it to the sea together with the 7 sweets and 7 cents of right, if you do not have the sea nearby, you can throw it into a river and otherwise to the mountain.

Then we clean the home with one of these powerful waters:

• To consider: If you go to the sea or the river, bring some of that sacred water to your house so that you can cleanse your home. añagiving cascarilla.
• If you do not have sites with fresh or salty water nearby, you can sew water the day before and clean your spaces. This is how you clean your entire home so that it is purified of all the bad.
