How to Determine who is your crowned Orisha in Lucumi?
Before getting the guerreros one needs to get their elekis or elekes (collares) there are two sets of warriors (one form the babalaos) and the other from santeros meaning that the elegua that you get from the babalao is exu and the santero is elegua. The marking of the head can be done when you receive your mano de orunla, it is advised that the person who is doing such should already have godparents.� i have heard some people go and receive orunla with out having elekes, which would mean that they don't have any godparent representation, normally this is not very recommended.
