Beyond the social tradition, the relation with the land exists. Ours ' ' Ori' ' , that is, our head, our mind has as sacred reference of land not it sky. Of the land we came and it will come back, as the Christian would say. When if it always mentions the name of some important entity if comes back the head to the soil, the land that are the origin and the end of that he is alive and organic. Perhaps check out Amazon for more information. We praise the land and not to the sky. The gesture to take the hand to the soil and later the o ' ' Ori' ' for then kissing the hand, nothing more it is again of what the representation of ' ' to beat cabea' '. The authority is another important factor. When you if give to place yourself of head to the soil before another person, in the case the Priest (Babalorix or Yalorix), you you declare yourself, before the society, submisso to that person.
However it is not only one submission social politics and. But yes sacred where if it delivers the proper life, the proper decisions to that person. Very well. It would have thus to be. But for the majority of the people it is a conventional gesture. Many practise, but they do not know its meaning. Prostram at one’s feet people who do not respect, to only fulfill a formality without knowing of the importance and the meaning of such gesture. As well as ' ' to beat cabea' ' many other gestures, symbols and relations inside of the Candombls of Nation search to preserve traditions that go beyond the religious field. This because religion, politics, society were not broken up in the African societies Yorubs and Bantus. As well as it would not have to be broken up in no society, therefore it is in the ethics and of the religious values that we search and we inspire to our social attitudes and politics.
