This work is dedicated to the first protection Elegua, owner of roads and crossroads, who opens and closes destinations for us.
This ritual for the small giant of the Osha is to open paths to our life and that a lot of prosperity reaches our homes and businesses.
Always remember that faith is the important thing, this work requires time, so you must choose a moment and a space of tranquility so that you can talk with the small but great Eleguá.
Many times our paths are twisted, closed and our life stagnates, if that is your case you can do this job.
Important before performing the Work with Eleguá:
If you have received Eleguá, this work will go in front of him or at his feet, and if he does not have it, then he must do it in the corner behind the front door of his house or in a corner of his house always close to the door.
Remember that this work, nor any other should be done in bedrooms or bathrooms.

After having everything ready, start by telling Eleguá how wonderful he is, how well he takes care of you and protects you.
Thank him for your strength and that he has never turned his back on you when you needed him, that you need him to listen to you and open those closed paths for you and that in advance you are grateful to him for having granted it.
