Oya Candle

Description

 

Oya Candle is burned to honor Oya, the powerful Yoruba Orisha of winds, storms, transformation, and change. In Santería Oya is invoked for her ability to sweep away obstacles, bring swift change, and open paths where there seemed to be none. Lighting an Oya candle calls on her energy to help with personal transformation, protection, and the courage to face challenges.

Practitioners often dress the candle with oils, herbs, or powders that correspond to strength, change, and protection while focusing on their intention. Oya’s energy is fast-moving and decisive, making this candle ideal for situations that require rapid results or a shift in circumstances. The Oya Candle is perfect for anyone seeking swift, powerful change and spiritual protection, harnessing the energy of a forceful and transformative Orisha.
