On February 2nd, “Iemanjá Day” is celebrated, a tribute to the female deity of Candomblé and Umbanda religions. Queen of the sea and an orixá of great power, she is considered by her devotees to be the protector of fishermen, caretaker of love and motherhood, as well as a source of generosity for meeting requests through offerings.
“In several places in the country, mainly on the coast, there are big celebrations and parties; the period is conducive to making offerings, rituals and sympathies to attract good energy and thank Iemanjá for other achievements. She is known as the mother of all orishas and is therefore one of the most respected deities in African religions. This year, she is one of the governing bodies. She symbolizes the strength of women and motherhood and is considered the protector of all homes, a source of forgiveness and unconditional love”, comments spiritualist Kélida Marques, a follower of Umbanda.
Next, the spiritualist lists 3 sympathies to honor Yemanja and attract what you want. Check out!
1. Sympathy to ask for health and protection
The spell to ask for health, invoking the protection of the entity, it’s simple: please her with a vase of flowers or white roses. On a Saturday, take the vase with the roses and place it on the kitchen or living room table, offer these roses to Iemanjá and ask for health from everyone who lives in the house.
two. Spell to be lucky in love
for this sympathy, you will need five or eight white roses, lavender perfume, ribbons with the colors of harmony (blue, yellow, pink, white and green), mirror, talcum powder, soap and jewelry. Line a basket with cellophane, tie a ribbon around the stem of each flower and sprinkle some baby powder and perfume on top. Then put the mirror, soap and jewelry in the basket and take it to the sea. To finish, count three waves and, on the fourth, offer the basket to the entity.
3. Spell to attract peace and prosperity
You will mix white rose petals, raw rice and a perfume of your choice and apply it to the body. Looking at the sea, pray to Iemanjá asking peace and prosperity for your year. Take off your shoes and enter the sea wearing some white clothes, take three dips and come out of the water with your back to the sand.
