Prayers to Naná Burukú: The Guardian who protects between life and death

Prayer to Naná Burukú

Naná Burukú is a major Orisha of the Yoruba pantheon, whose cult has been in decline, since it has been considered in different ways by the descendants of the Aará and Yoruba tribes. However, this Orisha grandmother has immense ancient powers.  

The Arara origin cult considers her to be the Mother of Babalu Aye or San Lázaro, or even one of its paths. She is the Ancient Orisha, powerful, mysterious and terrible, who lives in the form of a majá, in rivers, springs and wild reeds.

In the Yoruba religion it can be invoked through nature, in springs, lagoons, wells and the mouths of rivers, although it is believed that on Holy Saturdays it can be called even in wells.

Naná is the Mother of Sweet Waters, but also from the muddy waters of the swamps. In Cuba, his cult is mainly present in Oriente, Las Villas, Matanzas and the area of ​​El Cotorro, in Havana.

The cult of Yoruba origin considers her Mother of God and Grandmother of all Obatalas. It is represented by an isosceles triangle to which plaster and tobacco smoke are applied and like Obatalá, it has feminine and masculine characteristics.

Naná is associated with both the beginning and the end and thus, it is said that she is a mother and death at the same time, in a cycle in which life is possible thanks to death.

For this reason, she is the guardian of the door between life and death, and watches over the transition to the afterlife. His name translates as: Naná (great mother or grandmother) and Burukú (evil).
