Blessed and fixed candle by Egbe' Priestess Ifa Ife'. All herbs and oils used are connected to each deity and specific intentions. All candles come with a specific prayer for you to utilize while doing your altar work. Set your intentions and place the candle in a shallow bowl of water (Omi Tutu) and let it burn until it completely burns out. Asé wa is used to get our prayers and petitions up to Olodumare (God) faster.
Ochún (Oshún) is the youngest of all the Orishás, according to most patakís (sacred stories). When Olodumare finished creating the earth, he sat back and contemplated his work. He realized something was missing: sweetness and love, the two things that would make live worth living. So, he created Ochún and sent her to earth to cultivate those qualities in others. Ochún is the Orishás love, and her seductive and sensual power encapsulates the feminine ideal. In nature, she rules over rivers. Yemayá and Ochún have a close relationship and often work together, especially in issues related to romance, marriage, and motherhood. Yemayá is a mature, motherly type who watches over children and protects babies in the womb. Ochún is the seductive and sensual Orichá who makes sure babies are conceived. She inspires sexual love and promotes fertility. Her favorite flower is the sunflower. Although she's young and sometimes seems frivolous, she's a very powerful Orishá. In many instances where other Orishás fail, Ochún triumphs, often by using her feminine wiles and sweetness to conquer her enemies.
