He is the androgynous deity of fishing and gathering. A hunter and a fisherman, he is the brother of Abbata, from whom he is inseparable. Inle is received together with Abbata.
His shell is never put on the floor, and he never speaks, except through Yemaya. Orange peels, not coco, should be offered when this orisha is questioned. He is the patron of doctors.
His receptacle is a soup bowl covered with a dish where his tools are placed. As a complement, he has a small jar with the secret of Abbata.
He is syncretized with the Archangel Rafael and is celebrated October 24.
