The brothers wind and ground were given the same sacrifice before coming down to the world. Only the ground, patient, made it: that is why it has a firm existence and everyone bows to it, while the wind wanders invisible and with no home.
The greatest work Ojuani Meyi did in heaven was to read for two brothers who were on their way to the world: Fefe, who is the wind, and Ale, who is the ground. He marked the same thing for both, so that on earth no one would deny them respect: a palm leaf, a parrot feather and a sheep for their guardian angels, plus a goat from each of them for Eshú.
Ale listened well, did not rush and had a cool head: he complied at once. Fefe was in a hurry, he was a rascal and he thought so much of himself that he found no reason to sacrifice anything. They set out at the same hour and, where heaven ends and earth begins, each one took his own way.
Things went so well for Ale that he became the anchor of everything alive: any plant or animal that is born pays him respect before anyone else, by touching him. Fefe was denied rest, and he has to go up and down without a break between heaven and earth. That is why the ground stays firm and in its place, while the wind, besides being invisible, has no known home: you feel it pass, but no one sees it.
