About this oil
Changó is the orisha of thunder, fire, the drum and dance, a warrior king in Santería. People come to him for strength: to stand firm in a hard fight, to face enemies, to keep their courage when someone is pushing them around. He is also honored for passion and the joy of life. In Cuba he is celebrated together with St. Barbara, on December 4.
His colors are red and white. His offerings are red apples, bananas, red wine and sweets. At home, people light a red candle for him, and many greet Elegguá first. For anything more than a candle at home, people go to a santero or santera, a priest of Santería. The oil is red, with a rose scent.
Ways to use
- On a candle
- Put a few drops on a red seven-day candle, or on a red one and a white one side by side for his two colors. Light it on December 4 or when you face a hard fight.
- With offerings
- When you set out red apples or bananas for him, put a drop on the rim of the plate. Take the fruit away before it spoils.
- On the altar and saint statues
- Put a drop on the base of his image, or of the St. Barbara statue many families keep for him, and on the candle in front of it.
