A powerful prayer to Inle to grant us to be prosperous and happy

Inle or Erinlé is an Orisha It represents fishing and pre-horticultural harvesting, as well as protecting doctors and fishermen.  

He is an Orisha who is known as a great hunter and fisherman, also linked to productive activities and the extractive economy, hence his relationship in the Yoruba religion to abundance, food and prosperity.

Considered the doctor of the Osha for his gifts as a healerBesides being a fortune teller, he is a warrior and is represented in nature by fish.

Why does Inle possess so much power in the Yoruba Religion?

1. He is considered the deity of the garden harvest and personifies the earth and water, it may be for this reason that he normally dresses in blue, yellow and white, adorned with snails.
2. He is the provider of human sustenance and guide of walkers who cross mountains and rivers to reach their destination. He lives on land and in water, since he works in both, always helping men.
3. His cult comes from the town of Ilobu, through which a small river that bears his name passes. Legends say that there he protected the Yorùbás from the invasion of the Fulanis and that is why his cult is extremely important.

About his physique stands out that he is androgynous and is often represented with the features of a man and a fish.

It is also said that it is very beautiful, so much so that a patakí tells that Yemaya she fell in love with him and kidnapped him to take him to live with her in the waters of the sea.

Many of the Patakíes assure that Inle is one of the most beautiful Orishas that exists, despite the fact that he is represented as an Androgynous deity (with masculine and feminine features).

But in many places he is worshiped as a male saint and that happens in many parts of Cuba.

Its name comes from the Yorùbá Erìnlè which means "The food that the earth gives". In Santeria it does not settle as a tutelary Orisha.
