What is the significance of wearing certain beads or colors in Lucumí Santería?"

In Lucumí Santería, wearing specific beads or colors holds symbolic significance tied to the worship of Orishas. 

Each Orisha is associated with particular colors and beads, known as "elekes." 

Wearing these beads demonstrates devotion, protection, and alignment with the energies of the Orisha. 

For example, the color yellow may be linked to Orisha Oshun, associated with love and fertility, while the color red might represent Orisha Chango, associated with fire and thunder. 

The beads serve as a visible connection to the spiritual realm and a way to invoke the blessings of the Orishas.
