Elegua He is the one who opens and closes the roads, through the offerings and works that we dedicate to him, the little giant will offer us his protection.
He is the most spoiled and mischievous Orisha of the Osha, whom we adore for always being by our side and giving us his blessings, in his name we will make this powerful offering.
This work is very simple and will be effective if faith and dedication are put into it. We will work with the pumpkin, a fruit that attracts the positive and is an excellent purifier of negative energies.
If every time you do something, you put all your inner strength and hope, you will always be heard by the Orishas, have faith.
Ingredients you need:
- 1 pumpkin
- 7 seeds from that pumpkin
- Honey bee
- 7 legal tender coins
- 3 white candles
- 1 large white plate
- 3 cents
How do I prepare the offering to Eleguá?
- First you need to wash the pumpkin, the fruits of the works should always be washed before, do not forget.
- Then, in the shape of a half moon, he will chop a piece of the pumpkin, so that his hand fits and can empty it all.
- When you remove the dough inside the pumpkin, you will be left with 7 seeds and the rest can be thrown away.
- Once the pumpkin is clean inside, he will introduce the 7 seeds, then the 7 legal tender coins and pour the honey.
- Close the pumpkin with the same piece that you removed, in the form of a lid.
- Place the fruit on a white plate and put the candles inside the plate at each end, one of them should be in front of the pumpkin.
- This work will put her in front of her Elegguá and if she doesn't have it, she should do it behind the front door of the house.
Eleguá lives on the edge of the door where the interior world is separated from the exterior, there he is protector of everything that enters and leaves.
- Light the three candles and you will be ready to speak to Elegguá:
Blessed child Eleggua I ask for your blessing
Here is your daughter / or (your name)
Before you I come to (ask for what you want)
I hope you listen to me and assist me in my request
Thank you Elegguá.
You will have this work on for 3 consecutive days, each day you will light the candles for a while at the same time you choose, on the third day you will let the candles burn out completely.
After this work you will go to the bush or a mountain, you will clean yourself with those 3 cents, starting with the head and ending at the feet, and place the pumpkin there (do not throw it away) and you will say:
Elegguá here I leave you this work and I beg you to intercede for me.
Remember that as long as you have your work at the foot of the Orisha, when you light your candle you must be in front of Elegguá talking to him about your problem and begging him to be heard.
Did the work not give you the expected result?
Wait a few days and do it again, or change work, but never give up. Perseverance and faith go hand in hand.
