In Santería and the Yoruba Religion, stones play a fundamental role: the otanes (or otás) are considered the physical receptacle and the dwelling place of the vital energy of the orishas (gods). Porous or reef stones (sea rock type) serve primarily as the base and seat for Babaluaye,  Elegguá, Olokun, Oggún, and Oshosi (warrior orishas), as well as for certain water deities.

Porous stones (known as Babalú Ayé's otanes) symbolize the nature of his paths, such as Afra, Nanú, and Asowano..  The holes and the irregular surface symbolize the marks on the skin, the sores, and the rawness of the diseases that this Orisha is capable of curing.

  • Dwelling of the Orisha: In the Yoruba worldview, the divinity resides inside the stone. A porous otá is not just a rock; it is consecrated through specific ceremonies and rituals to give it life, becoming the altar and channel of communication with the orisha.
  • Seat of Elegguá: Elegguá's stones are usually porous and of particular origins (such as reefs) because their hollow or rough nature represents the crossroads, the multiple paths of destiny, and the ability to absorb or contain the energy of the paths.
  • Receptacle of elemental forces: In the case of Orishas such as Olokun (deity of the secrets of the ocean), corals and porous marine stones are used to represent the bottom of the sea, allowing energy to flow through their pores.
  • Spiritual connection and offerings: Porosity facilitates the absorption of sacred fluids and offerings (such as animal blood, aguardiente, honey, or herbs) that are given to the orisha to feed it, ask for its protection, or open the paths.
