How to Use It

Dress an altar candle, or anoint an offering, when you call on the deity. A few drops go a long way. Dress a candle before you light it, run it through an oil warmer or diffuser, or put a drop on a cotton ball tucked into a drawer or your car. It wears well in an aromatherapy locket. For skin, dilute it in a carrier oil such as jojoba or grapeseed and test a small patch first. Shake a few drops into distilled water for a room or linen spray.

In Tradition: Oya

Oya is the orisha of the wind and the storm in the Yoruba and Lucumí traditions — of the marketplace, of change, and of the gate of the cemetery. She is the sudden weather that clears the air. Call on her when what you need is change, and the courage to stand in it.
