The tree from which this butter is extracted is native to New Guinea and is known locally as "The Tree of Life." It is used in both protection and attraction rituals. For Santeros, corojo butter is essential in religious ceremonies for asking the Orishas for help. Among its benefits, it allows one to open paths, find work, money, and love, and also helps weaken the will of enemies and sweeten relationships. It cleanses negativity. One of its most common uses in religious rituals is to anoint it on a candle.
