Attentions dedicated to the Orisha of fidelity: Oba Nani

We must attend Obba and always thank her for her blessings, so that she supports us and helps us when facing our deepest feelings and expressing them.

This deity helps us to communicate better and to live in harmony with those who are dear to us.

Therefore, we must always express our faith and devotion to him through prayers and offerings.

The type of offering will vary depending on the ritual that is being developed, but they will always constitute a token of appreciation for your protection and intervention.

Offerings that can be given to the Orisha:

Among the offerings that are made include raw yam and usually the sacrifice of some animals such as the goat, the dove and the hen is also offered.

Likewise like corojo butter, fruits, cascarilla and grape, and its ewes (herbs) are the following:

  • The ebony caponero.
  • The plum.
  • Brown.
  • Mahogany.
  • The coastal hazelnut.
  • Caleta grape.
  • Mahogany.

Where can we worship her and invoke her power?

This type of offerings can be placed on an altar that is located in a quiet and secluded place in our house and can be decorated with flowers, food, candles, with colors such as pink and purple.

We can also go to the lakes, her temple, and there call her to help us and protect us and thank her at the same time for all her blessings.

However, Obba's power can invoke him wherever he wants, just having faith and begging him, it will be enough for her to listen to him with love.

If we pray to him with faith and then tell him about our concerns and misfortunes as if we were speaking to our mother, we can be sure that Obba will listen to us and guide us on the path of happiness.

What requests can we make to Obba, the Orisha of feelings?

Due to its conception as a deity related to love and marital fidelity, people normally turn to it when they are in a marital and relationship crisis, also to attract love.

But we must know that Obba in her role as a warrior also provides us with immense protection.

We also pray to Obba to:

  • Overcome love crises that are lived after a break. She can lead us in the best possible way and guide us to overcome sorrow and sadness, because we will love and smile again.
  • Attract love or make our soul mate return to us. Obba can help us in any matter related to love, either to find it or to bring that person we love so much back to us.
  • Protect us. As we explained, Obba is an extremely protective goddess of all her children and devotees. Impetuous and brave, she not only guards the graves, but also the homes of her faithful, preventing evil from penetrating.
  • Make our requests: We can ask this Yoruba goddess in general what we want, be it health, fortune, love, union, prosperity and happiness in our life and she as a mother will listen to us.

Two powerful prayers to Obba Nani to ask for his help How do we do it?

Different prayers are raised to Obba depending on the favor we want to ask of him, and above all we ask the Orisha of the sacrifice to guide us in love matters.

We must know that these prayers should be made with the utmost respect for the powerful Orisha and with great faith in her powers.

Before praying to the Orisha we can light a pink or white candle, or a simple wick in her name to give her light.

After this ritual we began a quiet prayer, talking with the deity about our day to day.
