Originating from the Molucca Islands in Indonesia, clove arrived in Brazil through Portuguese trade as early as the 16th century. In the African diaspora, it was incorporated into ritual practices as a sacred spice and an element of strength, being adopted in Candomblé and Umbanda terreiros for its hot and penetrating energy, associated with the opening of paths and protection.
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.
A popular tradition in the terreiros recommends carrying three cloves in your pocket or inside your wallet to attract money and ward off envy. It is said that as long as the aroma of the clove persists, its protection is active.
