This is a book I wrote about how important plants are for us in our tradition.
Osain is the orisha of all plants and we cannot do any type of consecration
without him.
Its one of the first things that all priests and aleyos should learn.
I hope this book will help you.

Much of the information in this book has
never been translated into English before.
The author includes patakins (theological
fables) and odu of 16 essencial plants used
in Lucumi ceremonies and rituals. The book
tries to explain not only which plants are
used but WHY they are used, what is the
deeper significance of these plants.
There is also a chapter on spiritual baths
and the best plants used for spiritual
cleansings and healings.
