How To Use Our Yemaya Candle

Using a Yemaya candle for spiritual and ritual purposes involves setting intentions, creating a sacred space, and visualizing goals or desires. Yemaya, a revered orisha in the Yoruba religion, symbolizes motherhood, the ocean, and protection. Here's a simplified guide on how to use this ritual tool to request aid and guidance from Yemaya:

Setting Intentions: Before lighting, take a moment to reflect on your intentions. Focus on desires related to abundance, fertility, stability, motherhood, or protection, as these are areas Yemaya governs.
Creating a Sacred Space: Prepare a clean, respectful area where you can perform your ritual undisturbed. This space should be dedicated to Yemaya and can include offerings like pomegranates or organic honey, symbolizing fertility and sweetness in life.
Lighting the Candle: Use a long match or lighter to carefully light the Yemaya candle. As you light it, visualize the flame as a symbol of your intentions manifesting. It's a moment to connect spiritually with Yemaya and ask for her guidance and blessings.
Meditation and Ritual Work: Spend time in meditation or prayer, focusing on your intentions and visualizing your goals. Let the candle's flame be a guide and a focal point for your spiritual practice, symbolizing light and guidance on your path.
Closing the Ritual: Once your meditation or prayer is complete, express gratitude to Yemaya for her presence and assistance. Allow the candle to burn down safely in the sacred space as a final offering of your intentions to Yemaya.

Keep in mind, that engaging with Yemaya is a highly personal experience and should be treated with utmost respect and honor for its originating traditions.
