The Straw Prayer Mat, or Estera, is a traditional ritual mat used across Santería, Ifá, Espiritismo, and other African Diaspora spiritual practices. Made from woven natural fibers, it serves as a sacred surface for kneeling, making offerings, laying ritual tools, or conducting divination sessions. Its simplicity and organic material represent humility, grounding, and alignment with ancestral earth energies. The estera is commonly used during important ceremonies, spiritual cleansings, or when honoring the Orishas, creating a clean, respectful space that bridges the material and spiritual worlds.
