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

Angico in Brazilian Ancestral Wisdom

Angico is a native tree of the caatinga and cerrado, used by indigenous peoples long before the arrival of Africans. In jurema terreiros and caboclo candomblés, its bark is a material of strengthening and its wood is considered as firm as few others.

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.

The resin that flows from the angico trunk, called goma de angico, has been a popular remedy for cough in the interior of Brazil for over two centuries.
