12, 13 & 14. INLE

Fetish:
Inle resides in a soup toureen covered with a plate. His ornaments are placed on the plate. Next to the toureen is a little pot in which his companion Orisha's secret is kept.

Ornaments:
A pedestal in the shape of a cross. Snakes and small fishes hang from each arm. Two snakes coil around the shaft of the cross, similar to a doctor's caduceus. Inle also "owns" two rings and a fishing hook made out of silver or white base metal.

Power objects:
Fishing line and a net.

Collars:
Dark green.

Clothing:
Inle dresses in blue, yellow and white. His costume is heavily decorated with cowrie shells. He may also dress in deep green.

Offerings:
He likes sweet wine and cake. Almond oil. White ram and white rooster.

Dances:
Inle seldom "comes down". Dances are held in his honor. The dancers gather in a circle, bent over and moving the right hand from side to side, as if peering through shrubbery. They take zig zag steps. The dancers also imitate the movements of fishermen rowing in a canoe or pulling in nets.
