Anchoring and deep roots. Kolenana reminds us of the importance of knowing where one comes from to know where one is going. He is the divinity of rootedness, of the bond to ancestral land. Those who emigrate pray to him to maintain the link with home. His energy is calm, unchanging, like the roots of the century-old silk-cotton tree.
