Damballa Wedo is the Great Green Serpent of the Earth. He is the Grandfather of all Lwa & the husband of Ayida Wedo. He is often represented by the image of a huge serpent with green coloured scales or Saint Patrick. Damballa Wedo is an extremely powerful Lwa, & the root of all balance & life. He is not to be bothered with trivial matters, however when truly in need those who call upon him will be blessed by his generosity in the form of either wealth, prosperity, faithful marriage, fertility or good health. These candles have been washed, with the option to have them loaded & fixed with sacred herbs to honour Damballa Wedo. They should be burnt on His day, Thursday. Damballa should only be served in a clean environment, free of strong smells (especially tobacco smoke), we advise cleaning the area with a mixture of cool water, lemon, basil & mint.
