It acts as an instrument of authority for orishas such as Obatalá, Oduduwa (white) or Oyá (black), helping to ward off witchcraft and attract good fortune. 

• Energy Cleansing): It is used to sprinkle consecrated waters or "omieros" on people to purify their aura.
• Defense and Authority: Orishas and santeros use it to fight witchcraft and protect against dark spirits.
• Yemayá and Oshún: They also use irukes, often decorated with beads in their colors (blue/white for Yemayá, yellow/gold for Oshún).
