- If in doubt, ask your leader or speak with the shop via WhatsApp.
How the prayer request becomes an offering
Each Orixá rules an area of life, and therefore each prayer request usually goes to one of them: love to Oxum, justice to Xangô, healing to Obaluaê, peace to Oxalá. The offering is the way to give thanks and to ask, always with respect.
The game shows the Orixá of your request, the offerings and the traditional ritual foods, and the link to that Orixá's offering article, with the step by step. Offerings made as part of a ritual obligation (preceito) always follow your house's guidance.
