Olokun Elekes, Mazos, Ildés & Pinaldos

Olokun elekes, mazos, ildés and pinaldos — handmade pieces in the deep blue and black of the Orisha of the ocean floor, guardian of secrets and giver of wealth both spiritual and material.

Olokun is the water that is never seen, the other half of the sea. Devotees work with him for abundance, for depth and for what is hidden, and his colours are as dark and still as the water he governs. The elekes, mazos, ildés and pinaldos here are made in that palette by hand.

Each item is spiritually aligned and not consecrated — preparation is given by a Santero or Santera, never by the piece itself.
