The Tinaja de Barro, or Clay Vase, is a traditional earthen vessel deeply rooted in Afro-Caribbean, Latin American, and indigenous spiritual practices. Symbolizing fertility, nourishment, and the grounding power of the Earth, it is often used to hold sacred waters, herbs, ashes, or ritual offerings. Associated with Orishas like Yemaya, Olokun, and Obatala, this clay pot serves as a container for spiritual energy, devotion, and ancestral connection. Whether placed on an altar, buried in ceremonial grounds, or used during cleansing rituals, the tinaja anchors your practice in tradition, balance, and elemental wisdom.
