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.

Oyá Yansá is the owner of winds and storms, and she brings change, wanted or not, into the lives of humans. She's the fiercest of the female Orishás, and she fights side by side with Changó in many battles. She goes into battle with two swords and, like Changó, she also uses lightening to strike down her enemies. She guards the gates of the cemetery, making sure that the boundaries between life and death are respected. She often wears a mask because she likes to protect her privacy. Tornadoes are thought to be caused by Oyá's skirts that whirl as she dances. Oyá can wear any color except black. Because her clothing contains nine colors, some people say that the rainbow, which is also made up of different hues, belongs to Oyá. She's the patroness of the marketplace, a symbol for transition and change in the human world.
