Amora

Feminine balance, abundance, and home protection

The blackberry is the herb of women. Its leaves balance the feminine body and its sweet, dark fruit carries the abundance of Oxum (Oshun) and the wisdom of Nanã (Nana Buruku).

The foundation of this herb in the terreiro, with the orixá (orisha) that rules it and that changes from house to house, is in The Lovers in tarot: meaning, reversed, and arcana card VI.

Wisdom of Ossaim

Ritual Precepts with the Leaf

*"Kó s'ewé, kó s'òrìṣà"*: Without leaf there is no Orixá. Every plant is sacred and requires respect with the axé:

  • ✓ Hot ritual bath of strength: always from the neck down, protecting the ori.
  • ✓ Ask permission from Ossaim and the guardians of the forest before handling or boiling.
  • ✓ Always discard on clean earth, a garden, or a pot. Never in common trash.
The axé of the leaf responds to the intention and the reverence of the heart of the one who prepares it.

Historical Root & Tradition

Amora in Brazilian Ancestral Wisdom

The mulberry came from Asia and spread across Brazil in backyards and sidewalks. In the terreiros, it entered as a leaf of Nanã due to the connection with mud, maturity, and the cycle of life, and as a leaf of Oxum due to the sweetness of the fruit.

In the traditional garrafadas of Central Brazil, the raizeiro masters recognized in the knotted shape of the root the living metaphor of firmeza: the capacity to tie knots in adversity and remain standing even in arid lands.
