Product Details

A set of six hexagonal packs, twenty sticks each, for one hundred twenty incense sticks in total, made in India by Sree Vani.

Burn in a ventilated space, keep the lit stick away from drafts and anything flammable, and let the ash cool fully before disposing.

Spiritual Significance

In Santeria and other Yoruba derived traditions, Obatala is among the oldest and most respected orishas, the father figure who shapes human heads and bodies and who rules peace, purity, wisdom, and justice. He is associated with the color white, with coolness and calm, and with the clarity of a steady mind. Devotees turn to him for peace in conflict, clear thinking, healing, and ethical guidance, and approach him with cleanliness and calm. Please note that orisha veneration is a living, initiatory tradition with its own protocols, and this incense is offered as one simple, respectful way to honor Obatala rather than a substitute for that practice. Burning a stick becomes an act of devotion and intention, working alongside your faith and practice rather than promising any particular outcome.

How to Use

1. Set a stick in a heat safe incense holder or ash catcher, near your Obatala shrine if you keep one.
2. Light the coated tip, let it catch, then gently fan out the flame so it smolders.
3. Offer the smoke with respect as you ask for peace and clarity or simply honor Obatala.
4. Allow the ash to cool completely before disposing, and never leave burning incense unattended.
