| Publisher Description: This book deals with the food for the Orishas. Granted, the first association with feeding the Orishas isthe sacrifice of animals; but in reality, animal sacrifices only encompass a small portion of the food thatare given to the Orishas. To wit; the most common form to feed and to sacrifice to the Orishas is Ob Om tuto. Ob Om tuto is coconut and fresh water. It is an Adim and an Eb . It praises the Orishas, itpacifies the Orishas.There are two main types of feeding the Orishas. By way of an Eb or by way of Adim . Eb is a ritualoffering or sacrifice as dictated by divination. Eb is one of the cornerstones of the Santeria religion, andit is the tool that we have been given by the Orishas to change our fate and return our lives to abalanced and healthy state. Eb takes many forms. It can be an offering of fresh fruits, ritual baths, offerings of cooked foods, undergoing initiation, receiving an orisha, or animal sacrifice to name a few.Adim are token offerings of love and thanks to the Orishas or to the ancestors. There is a slew ofAddim that a diviner can mark for a person to offer, but each orisha typically likes a certain set offoods. |
