I kept thinking "this is a punishment."
"But in extreme cases, when the orisha wants to show his displeasure with a wrongdoer, he will deal with the culprit with a heavy hand. That person may find himself the victim of a theft or an accident, or he may even wind up in jail. All distinctive punishments of Elegguá."
My house got robbed SIX DAYS after I did my unforgivable thing. Six days.
Elegguá's number is three, but also any multiple of three.
Like...y'know...six.
...and his colors are red and black...
...and fuck all if I haven't been punished with red...
Try to convince me they aren't paying attention...
These gods are spiteful.
