Nana Buruku: Grandmother of All Orishas
Nana Buruku, also known as Nana Buluku or Nanan-bouclou, is a revered Orisha in African religion, and the mother of the universe.
The 4” Elegua Head is a spiritually significant figure used in Santería, Lukumí, and other African Diaspora traditions to represent Elegua—the Orisha who governs the crossroads, communication, and destiny. Often made from clay or cement and adorned with cowrie shells, this head serves as a vessel through which practitioners honor and petition Elegua. Despite its smaller size, it carries immense spiritual energy and is commonly placed near doorways, on altars, or in travel kits to ensure safe passage, divine guidance, and the removal of obstacles. It is both a protective guardian and a gateway to deeper spiritual engagement.
