Ashe Obbi Kola

Ashe Kola (also known as kola nut, often part of mixtures such as Ero, Obi, Kola, Osun) is essential in Santería and Ifá for the consecration of saints, the preparation of protective bundles, and power ceremonies. It is used to activate spiritual energy, enhance practices, and is essential in divination for sealing the Odu Ifá, connecting the initiate with Orunmila. 

• Consecration of Orishas: It is an indispensable ingredient in the carga (internal preparation) of the Orishas and fundamentos, ensuring that consecrations are complete.
• Divination (Ikin/Ifá): It is used to mark and seal the Odu (sign) during consultations.
• Spells and Works: It is used in esoteric works for petitions, positive influences, and protection, especially in connection with Orula.
