Memory of the Orixás
Turn over the cards and find the Orixás pairs. In Greetings mode, each illustration pairs with the Orixá greeting, and you learn while you play.
Play nowTap on two cards. If they are from the same Orixá, the pair stays open.
Learn the greetings by playing
Every gira and every xirê greets the orixás (orishas) by name and by each one's greeting. Someone arriving at the terreiro for the first time hears Ogunhê for Ogum (Ogun), Eparrei for Iansã (Oya) and Atotô for Obaluaê, and it takes time to remember which belongs to whom.
The Greetings mode was made for this. Each pair joins the illustration of the orixá with their greeting, and with each correct match, the name appears below the grid. In a few games, the twelve will be in your head.
