BAMBOO NECKLACES
Raíces Cultural Center directors handcraft bamboo pendants using cultural symbology from indigenous tribes such as the Taínos from Puerto Rico and African symbols. Necklaces are a $10 donation to Raíces, with 100% of the proceeds directly supporting the Raíces Cultural Center organization and programming. You can customize the design, size and shape of the pendent or just simply choose a symbol. Start here by ordering the symbol and a Raíces director will contact you within 48 hours with a short questionnaire to determine what size and shape or if you would like a surprise pendant with the symbol you chose.

ELEGGUÁ
(Stuffed Fabric)

"Eleggua is the orisha of the crossroads. He is known as a trickster, but for those who pass his tests he opens all doors and roads.

He is the keeper of ashé, the creative potency of the universe and the "power to make things happen".

Eleggua is one of the warrior orishas, and is often placed near the entrance of a home to protect its inhabitants."
