WHAT ARE GUIDES?

", "

Guides are sacred objects that serve as a link between the believer and the Orixás. Therefore, they should be treated with respect and devotion.

", "

A guide is not just a simple necklace. It is a protective object that must be consecrated by an Entity or through consecration rituals when the believer undergoes an initiation process to take effect.

", "

TYPES OF GUIDES:

", "

Guides can be made of seeds, wood, bone, missanga, porcelain, stones, crystals, or plastic.

", "

WORK GUIDES AND PROTECTION GUIDES

", "

There are various types of guides. Work guides are used by believers in temples during spiritual work. They are usually received during the Orixá initiation process and help connect the medium with the Entities, as well as protect them during rituals. They indicate the levels of initiation a believer has and the Guides they carry.

", "

Protection guides are for daily use.

", "

HOW TO CLEAN GUIDES?

", "

Guides should be washed with water from natural sources corresponding to the relevant Orixá. Since it is difficult to find crystal clear spring water, sea water, or waterfall water in big cities, it is recommended to wash them with mineral water or give them an Amaci bath, which can be purchased at religious goods stores. Whenever you visit a temple, ask your Spiritual Guide to cleanse and energize your guide.

", "

WHEN TO USE THE GUIDE?

", "

Since a guide is a sacred object, it does not need to be worn continuously, especially if it is a work guide. A protection guide can be worn all the time without needing to be exposed. If you cannot wear it around your neck for professional or personal reasons, you can put it in a small white pouch (like a patuá) and carry it in your bag, wallet, or pocket.
