34, 35 & 36. YEGGUA

Fetish:
Yeggua resides in a small doll house placed on a high shelf in an inner room of the house. It can also be nailed on the wall. Her house should be placed far from Ochun's fetish.

Ornaments:
Her belongings are a doll, and a basket or a small pot.

Collars:
Pink beads.

Clothing:
Yeggua wears a pink dress. The wide skirt is bound at the waist by a sash of the same material. She wears a crown heavily decorated with cowrie shells.

Offerings:
Female goats.

Dance:
Yeggua seldom "comes down". When she does, she mimes tying a bundle with twine. Her demeanor is somber. She is very shy with men, since she is a virgin, and does not dance.
