Unpolished Ox Pot

Approximately 6" to 10". 

The unpolished ox jar (natural horn) in Santería and Palo Mayombe is primarily used as a highly powerful energetic element for protection, defense, prosperity, and personal development rituals. Because it is unpolished, it retains its natural strength, making it ideal for charging rituals and protective charms.

·        Protective Charms and Protection: It is used to make amulets or "resguardos" intended to protect a person against witchcraft, the evil eye, and negativity.

• Oggue (Orisha): Ox jars are the foundation or attribute of the Orisha Oggue, who is responsible for protecting the head of the religious practitioner and represents the strength of the herds. They are often placed next to Shangó to increase their power.
• Magical Work (Good or Evil Arts): In Palo Mayombe, the jar (nbinga) is "sealed" or prepared to perform works, depending on the intention of the Taita (religious practitioner), which includes love spells, protection, or offensive work.
• Attracting Prosperity: It is used in rituals to open economic paths and improve personal development.
