Jicaras De Guira Of 3 Sizes

The jícara or güira is used in Santería (Regla de Ocha) primarily as a sacred ritual vessel to offer, present, and contain elements intended for the Orishas. It is essential for giving omi tuto (fresh water), preparing offerings (addimú), containing cascarilla, and in ceremonies such as the Asentamiento (making a saint), Abo Faca, and divination with diloggun.    

·       Offerings to the Orishas: It serves as a ritual bowl for presenting food and drinks to deities such as Eleguá, Shango, Yemayá, Oshún, Obbatalá, and Oggún.

·       Giving Omi Tuto: It is used to offer fresh water to the orishas or to the ancestors (Egun), a fundamental act of respect and energetic cleansing.

·       Ifá and Asentamiento Rituals: It is indispensable in initiation ceremonies (kariocha), the hand of Orula (Abo Faca), and in the worship of Orula (Tefa de Orula).
