boveda y altar de eggun

A Boveda and an Eggun shrine are TWO different things, bro. One is Spiritism and one is Lukumi. In Spiritism the purpose is to elevate your spiritual court, empower them and pray for their continued elevation for the help they grant you and therefore they don't go on the floor because you are lifting your spiritual court up from the status of purely ancestral forces. Elevated spirits tend to be part of your spiritual court. Not every member in your spiritual/celestial court is necessarily an Earth-Spirit or an Ancestor. Eggun in Lukumi, I have been told, are put near pipes, or on the floor because they are our blood and spiritual ancestors and tradition was to place the Egun where water flowed or near holes into the Earth. You'd have to ask your Madrina for sure - but I know I was taught Eggun go on the floor and that not all my Eggun will/would end up on or working through my Boveda - that was for my spiritual court which was something entirely different and not Lukumi in origin

TRANSCRIPT

A Boveda and an Eggun shrine are TWO different things, bro.

One is Spiritism and one is Lukumi. In Spiritism the purpose is to elevate your spiritual court, empower them and pray for their continued elevation for the help they grant you and therefore they don't go on the floor because you are lifting your spiritual court up from the status of purely ancestral forces. Elevated spirits tend to be part of your spiritual court. Not every member in your spiritual/celestial court is necessarily an Earth-Spirit or an Ancestor.

Eggun in Lukumi, I have been told, are put near pipes, or on the floor because they are our blood and spiritual ancestors and tradition was to place the Egun where water flowed or near holes into the Earth. You'd have to ask your Madrina for sure - but I know I was taught Eggun go on the floor and that not all my Eggun will/would end up on or working through my Boveda - that was for my spiritual court which was something entirely different and not Lukumi in origin
