- Once wrapped, you put it in the middle of the eggplant, add red wine and close the fruit with the other lid, so you will do with all of them if you use the 9 aubergines.
- After covering them, put them on a plate and light the 2 candles at the foot of the soup tureen. Oyá.

We ask for the blessing of Oyá with a lot of faith:

Take this time to meditate, and reflect on your life, talk with Yanza in a calm, respectful manner, remember that a ritual "is not lighting the candles and that's it."
- With the sperm or candle wax you will seal the opening of the aubergines.
- After being sealed or closed with that sperm, you will take the 9 colored ribbons or strips and wrap each of the aubergines with them.
- To finish, you heat a little corojo butter and pour it over the aubergines.
