and receive offerings such as food, water, coffee, rum, flowers, or candles.

Dr. Luhrmann saw this kind of practice firsthand while conducting fieldwork with the Santeria community in San Diego.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
She describes homes with altars with all sorts of offerings, and maintaining these relationships was part of ordinary routine.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
Practitioners changed water on the altars, prayed there, and would brew fresh coffee for the Orishas.

And the Orishas themselves had distinctive personalities.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
One initiate described a legwa as a trickster, who might leave something in somebody's path, causing them to trip over it, and then later show up at the hospital to make things right.

All of these rituals are part of making the spirit feel more present and real, as are the specific stories about the spirits.
