Letter of the year 2024: Eleguá and Oyá They are the protective Orishas

This year the powerful Eleguá welcomes us, the owner of the roads and faithful guide of our destinations. Next to him, the Yoruba queen walks Oyá, the intense deity of winds and storms. Eleguá invites us to travel the paths of life with wisdom and discernment, reminding us of the importance of our decisions.

In company of Oyá, whose winds propel us towards new experiences, we embrace his love and benevolence, but it is essential to follow his advice to avoid his just punishment.

We ask these powerful orishas May they guide our path in this new year, giving us health and mercy. May your energies accompany us in every step, allowing us to grow and learn in harmony with the universe.

That Eleguá and Oyá give us This new year lots of health, abundance and lots of protection to travel the paths of life.
