Working with Orisha Candles:

These 7-day candles are used in devotional practice to honor the Orishas, petition for their assistance and blessings, maintain ongoing spiritual relationships with the deities, accompany offerings and prayers, support specific magical workings aligned with each Orisha's domain, and create sacred space for ritual and ceremony. Light with respect, proper offerings, and knowledge of each Orisha's preferences and protocols.

The Orisha Tradition:

The Orishas are divine forces of nature and human experience in the Yoruba religion of West Africa, preserved and evolved through Santería (Cuba), Candomblé (Brazil), Vodou (Haiti), and other African diaspora traditions. Each Orisha governs specific aspects of life and nature, has distinct colors, numbers, offerings, and sacred days, and serves as an intermediary between humanity and the supreme creator Olodumare.

Respectful Practice:

Working with Orisha candles is a sacred practice that requires respect, proper knowledge, and ideally guidance from initiated practitioners. These candles are tools for devotion and should be used with reverence, appropriate offerings, and understanding of each Orisha's nature and preferences.

Perfect for Santería practitioners, devotees of the Orishas, those initiated in African diaspora traditions, spiritual seekers honoring Yoruba deities, and anyone called to work with these powerful divine forces with respect, devotion, and proper protocol.
