The Elegguá Candle is a sacred tool crafted to honor Elegguá, the powerful Orisha known as the guardian of the crossroads, messenger of destiny, and opener (or closer) of roads. He stands at the threshold of every beginning and every decision, governing access to fortune, opportunity, and spiritual alignment.
This candle is meant to be lit with deep intention—to ask Elegguá to remove obstacles, open new doors, and protect your path. Whether you are starting a new journey, seeking guidance, or needing clarity in moments of uncertainty, this candle invites his presence into your life and altar.
Elegguá is honored in many Afro-Caribbean traditions such as Santería (Lukumí) and Candomblé, and is often depicted as a child, a wise elder, or a sacred stone marked by cowrie shells. Lighting this candle signals reverence and trust in his power to clear your way forward.
