Bougie Orisha-Elegua 7 jours

An Accurate Devotional Item. This candle reflects Elegua's real place within Santería, Ifa, and Yoruba-diaspora practice, described with the same accuracy and respect given to any world religion's devotional items.

Built for New Beginnings. Because Elegua is customarily approached before other Orishas as the one who opens the way, many practitioners reach for this candle at the start of a new undertaking.

Honest Framing. We offer this candle strictly as a focus for prayer and reflection, never as a promise of any specific result.

Focus for Open Paths. Offered as a devotional point of concentration for new beginnings, decisions, and the doors ahead.

Honors Elegua. Elegua (also spelled Eleggua) is honored within Santería, Ifa, and related Yoruba-diaspora practices as guardian of the crossroads and messenger between the human and divine.

Red & Black Symbolism. Poured in the customary red and black linked to Elegua, along with imagery of keys customarily tied to him.

7-Day Burn Time. A single fixed candle provides roughly a week of daily devotional use.

1. Prepare the space. Choose a stable, heat-safe surface away from drafts, curtains, and anything flammable before lighting.

2. Begin your prayer. Light the wick and focus your intention or petition in keeping with the practice.

3. Burn in stages. Let it burn for a comfortable interval, then extinguish it if you're leaving the room; never leave it burning unattended.

4. Repeat daily. Relight once a day, trimming the wick to 1/4 inch each time, until the candle is fully spent over its 7-day span.

5. Finish safely. Discontinue burning once about 1/2 inch of wax remains, and dispose of the empty glass safely.

Wax & Wick: Made with a real-wax fill poured directly into the glass, set around a lead-free cotton wick. The wax is dyed in the customary red-and-black pairing to reflect Elegua's customary colors.

Note: As with any candle, small variations in color or scent can occur between batches. If you have a specific allergy or sensitivity concern, contact us before use and we're happy to share what detail we have.

Storage: Store upright in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, with the glass kept clean and free of dust between lightings.

Shelf Life: As general guidance, an unused candle like this is typically good for 12–24 months when stored properly; this is an estimate rather than a guarantee, and any date marked on the packaging takes precedence.

Buying Tip: Because this candle is meant to be burned down over a single 7-day ritual, most practitioners buy one at a time rather than stocking up.

Open Flame: This is a real burning candle in a glass container. Never leave it burning unattended, and always place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface well away from curtains, papers, and other flammable material.

Children & Pets: Keep the lit or unlit candle out of reach of children and pets at all times; the glass container can become hot during use.

Note: This candle is offered as a devotional item for prayer and reflection; it is not a guaranteed solution to any life circumstance.

Caution: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Place it on a heat-resistant, stable surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn, and discontinue use once about 1/2 inch of wax remains.
