“Devotees honor Ayao through offerings of fresh herbs, smoked fish, and white wine during ceremonies held in sacred groves or near ceiba trees. Drumming and songs dedicated to her call upon her energies to aid in transformation and to dispel negativity. She is also venerated in conjunction with other orishas like Oyá”
