The overwhelming beauty of this frigid hermaphrodite, lures Yemayá into revealing the secrets of the sea. By cutting of his tongue, she avoids that he can pass on her secrets. Mute forever, he can only communicate by shells. He is capable of predicting the day of reckoning. Patron of all doctors and all those who live from the sea. A remarkable sober Orisha. He doesn't drink alcohol nor coffee. He doesn't smoke and doesn't play the drums.
