Obatala's Light Handmade Incense

I make Obatala’s Light with herbs and oils associated with Obatala in Afro-Caribbean religious practice.

Choose a pack of 8 or 15 sticks. Both sizes are made to order.

How I make the incense

Each ingredient is ground by hand into a fine powder. During this process, I ask for assistance from the Universe and Ancestors to help manifest what the intention will be.

Oils are carefully selected and mixed together. Incense is then dipped in oils to absorb the scent. As I dip the incense I ask the Universe that as I dip each stick, may the scent of each oil reach every corner and cleanse the space with its intention.

As I remove each stick, I roll with the powder of herbs, resins, and roots and after sprinkle the mix on top.

As I complete this process, I tie a ribbon in a color relating to its purpose and seal the work and purpose until it is used.

When your incense arrives

If your sticks arrive fresh, remove them from the bag and let them dry for 2–3 days before lighting. Place them on the bag to protect the surface underneath from oil stains.

Set one stick in a wooden incense stick holder on a heat-resistant surface. Stay nearby while it burns.

For background on the Orishas, read the Book of Shadows guide to Lucumí and Regla de Ocha.

I hope you feel the magic and work that is put into the process and may it complete its purpose!

Much Love & Light! 💕✨
