Oshún is honored in the Yoruba-derived Santería and Lucumí practice as the orisha of rivers, love, beauty, and sweetness — a warm, generous presence syncretized in some devotional lineages with Our Lady of Charity, Cuba's patroness. The Oshun-Orishas (Yellow) 7 Day Candle is poured in the golden yellow long linked to her, made for devotees who keep a dedicated vigil in her honor.
Like the rest of the line, it comes in a 2 3/8" wide by 8" tall glass jar made from 100% paraffin wax with a lead-free cotton wick, burning for roughly 120 hours. That length lets a devotee return to the same candle daily across a full week of prayer rather than starting fresh each night, keeping the practice continuous from the first day to the last.
This candle is written and offered with the same respect due to any living faith. It is meant as a focus for prayer and personal reflection, customarily used by devotees as a point of connection with Oshún around love, sweetness, and flowing abundance — not as a promise of any guaranteed romantic, financial, or personal outcome. Results and experience are personal and vary.
Many devotees set the candle on a cloth beside a small offering of honey or sunflowers, following practices passed down within Lucumí households, and take a few quiet minutes each day to sit with the flame before returning to daily life. There is no single correct way to observe the week; what matters most is consistency, showing up at roughly the same time each day for the full seven days rather than lighting it once and setting it aside.
Devotees building a broader home altar often pair this candle with other pieces from the Spiritual Candles collection. As with any open flame, keep it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and flammable material, and never leave it burning unattended.
Welcome warmth and sweetness into a week of devotion with the Oshun-Orishas (Yellow) 7 Day Candle.
