This book deals with the food for the Orishas. Granted, the first association with feeding the Orishas isthe sacrifice of animals; but in reality, animal sacrifices only encompass a small portion of the food thatare given to the Orishas. To wit; the most common form to feed and to sacrifice to the Orishas is ObíOmí tuto. Obí Omí tuto is coconut and fresh water. It is an Adimú and an Ebó. It praises the Orishas, itpacifies the Orishas.There are two main types of feeding the Orishas. By way of an Ebó or by way of Adimú. Ebó is a ritualoffering or sacrifice as dictated by divination. Ebó is one of the cornerstones of the Santeria religion, andit is the tool that we have been given by the Orishas to change our fate and return our lives to abalanced and healthy state. Ebó takes many forms. It can be an offering of fresh fruits, ritual baths, offerings of cooked foods, undergoing initiation, receiving an orisha, or animal sacrifice to name a few.Adimú are token offerings of love and thanks to the Orishas or to the ancestors. There is a slew ofAddimú that a diviner can mark for a person to offer, but each orisha typically likes a certain set offoods.

The slaves that came to Cuba and which were labeled "Congo" came from a vast area encompassing Guinea to Central Africa (Chad), down to Angola and including parts of Mozambique. All were tied by the same language basis, Kikongo; and similar belief systems.Once they came to Cuba, they had to associate with the Lucumí (Yoruba descent slaves) and they borrowed heavily from the Lucumí as to the religious outlook. By way of this interaction, the practitioners of the Reglas Congas adopted as their own the Orishas of the Lucumí, the saints of the Catholic Church and gave them names in Kikongo and Spanish.Although we talk of Regla Ocha in the singular, Reglas Congas is in the plural. This is because they encompass several branches; i.e.- La Regla Palo Monte, La Regla Kimbisa, La Biyumba, La Musunde or Musundí and the Brillumba or Vrillumba.

The purpose of this book is to bring into context and greater accessibility the knowledge of the plants used in the Santeria Religion. Many books have been written about said plants, but there seems to be no standardized version where the plant in question can be narrowed down to a more common name and proper scientific taxonomy. When I say that this book is "Ewe for the New Diaspora" it is because we are now in a "New Diaspora". The first great diaspora that occurred was when the natives from Africa were brought to the "New World" as slaves of the Spanish, Portuguese, English, etc. These natives brought with them a very ample religious macrocosm and an intimate knowledge of the plants that surrounded them. This knowledge was used in the "New World" by their ability to find equal or similar plants that had been used in Africa. Although people have moved between the United States and countries of Central and South America for centuries; the coming of Fidel Castro in Cuba caused a massive outflow of people and their religious beliefs. Since then, other nationalities have emigrated to the United States causing what can be called a "New Diaspora". With this "New Diaspora", unknown religious beliefs have been brought to the shores of the United States. Now, it is not unusual to find "Botanicas" (stores that cater to the Afro-Caribbean religious beliefs) in most big cities in the United States (or the world). Since the basis of this book is "El Monte" by Lydia Cabrera, most of the plant listings are from there with an updating as to the uses, the name of the Orisha that is the tutelary owner of the herbs/plants, the Odun from Ifá associated with it, and the names and usage in Brazil (with tutelary Orisha in the different sects). It should be noted that I have not offered an opinion on the tutelary Orisha or the usage of any of these plants. This is just a compilation of available information on each of these plants from available sources. It is the responsibility of the person using this book to get guidance from their elders as to what is the proper use of these plants and the tutelary Orisha it belongs to.

The practice of sacrifice is present in several cultures, and is fundamental to many religions includingJudaism, Christianity, Islam, and even in Hinduism and Taoism."Animal sacrifice is the ritual killing and offering of an animal usually as part of a religious ritualor to appease or maintain favor with a deity. Animal sacrifices were common throughout Europeand the Ancient Near East until the spread of Christianity in Late Antiquity, and continue in somecultures or religions today." (Wikipedia)And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every cleanfowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. Genesis 8:20The animal offerings are among the rites decreed by God for your own good. You shall mentionGod's name on them while they are standing in line. Once they are offered for sacrifice, youshall eat therefrom and feed the poor and the needy. This is why we subdued them for you, thatyou may show your appreciation. Quran 22:36
