Cultural Note

Boromú and Boronsiá are two inseparable òrìṣà who serve as guardians and companions of Odùdùwà (the òrìṣà of death, mystery, and the earth’s depths) in the Lucumi tradition. Boromú and Boronsiá protect the secrets of death and the underworld, acting as intermediaries between the living, the ancestors, and the divine mystery that Odùdùwà embodies.

Boromú:

• Represents the bones of the dead, symbolizing what remains after the body decays — the essence of endurance, ancestry, and spiritual foundation.
• Dwells in the desert and is also associated with strong currents or winds that move across desolate spaces — metaphors for the transition between life and death.
• Is closely related to Yewá, the  òrìṣà who reigns over the cemetery and guards the spirits of the dead.
• Boromú’s presence connects Odùdùwà’s deep, hidden mysteries to the visible realm of death and burial.

Boronsiá:

• Often seen as the spiritual complement or twin of Boromú — together, they form balance and polarity.
• Boronsiá governs the vital currents and subtle forces that animate or move through death and transformation.
• She (in some traditions considered female) represents the breath or movement of the dead — the spiritual current that persists beyond physical decay.
