Agayú Elekes, Mazos, Ildés & Pinaldos

Agayú elekes, mazos, ildés and pinaldos — handmade pieces in brown, red and yellow, the colours of the Orisha of the volcano, the desert and the strength that carries what cannot be put down.

Agayú is endurance: the father who shoulders the world and does not complain about the weight. His devotees come to him when they are carrying responsibilities with no end in sight, and his colours are earth and fire together. The elekes, thick mazos, ildés and pinaldos here are made in that palette by hand.

Each item is spiritually aligned and not charged unless stated — preparation is given by a Santero or Santera.
