The grouping varies by lineage and household, but it commonly gathers Elegguá, Obatalá, Oggún, Changó, Yemayá, Oshun, and Orunmila, each lending their own domain to a collective blessing. For this reason the Seven African Powers are called on for broad, all-around help: protection, opportunity, love, strength, wisdom, and the smoothing of life's many roads at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a living, initiatory tradition. The orishas are traditionally served within a community of priests and elders, and the deepest workings belong to that lineage. Used respectfully, an oil like this is a devotional aid: dress a candle, anoint an offering, or honor the seven at your altar as you pray for their combined blessing. It is not a substitute for the guidance of a santero or babalawo.
