The White Hat for Santería is a ceremonial garment worn by practitioners to symbolize spiritual cleanliness, humility, and connection to divine energies. Often used during ebó, initiations, and public rituals, the white hat aligns with the color most associated with Obatalá—the Orisha of purity, wisdom, and peace. It serves not only as a mark of respect but also as a spiritual shield, helping the wearer remain aligned with elevated vibrations. Crafted from lightweight fabric, it is comfortable for long ceremonies while honoring the sacred traditions of the Lucumí and Yoruba-based practices.
