The Spiritual Significance

The Seven African Powers, or Siete Potencias Africanas, are a group of honored Orishas, the deities of the Yoruba people of West Africa whose worship was carried across the Atlantic and took new form in traditions such as Santeria, Lucumi, and Candomble. Together the Seven are called on for protection, guidance, and help across the many areas of life they govern, from love and prosperity to strength and justice. Incense dedicated to them is burned as an offering and a focus for devotion, a way to honor the Powers and bring a petition before them. This incense is offered as a respectful way to work within that living tradition, supporting your own prayer and devotion rather than promising any particular outcome. Light it to honor the Seven Powers, to cleanse and protect a space, or to carry a petition on the rising smoke.

How To Use

1. Light the tip. Hold a flame to the coated tip until it catches, then gently blow it out so it glows and releases a steady ribbon of smoke.
2. Set it in a holder. Rest the plain end in an incense holder or ash catcher on a heat-safe surface, near your altar or images of the Orishas if you keep them.
3. Offer it with intention. As the smoke rises, honor the Seven Powers and name the protection or help you are asking for.
4. Burn it safely. Burn in a ventilated space away from anything flammable, keep it clear of drafts, and never leave burning incense unattended.
