Rest, Defense, and Attack: Spirit Vault Position

The Spiritual Vault It is used in the Afro-Cuban religion to worship the spirits of the deceased, also called eggunes.

It is placed in the homes of devotees and is made up of a table with a white tablecloth, as a symbol of purity and peace, and glasses filled with water that allow us to elevate the beings that protect us. 

Each vase represents a deceased or a spirit of devotion of the spiritist. Photos and images of the ancestors are also placed on it.

The Spiritual Vault is the center of devotion to the deceased and accumulates the energy of the ancestors, a power that can be invoked by whoever installs it.

And to use that energy from the spiritual plane, there are three positions of the spiritual vault which are basic according to the situation that arises.

Positions of the Spiritual Vault:
