The Meaning of the Two Waters

Yemaya and Oshun are often connected with two distinct expressions of water: the powerful salt waters of the ocean and the sweet flowing waters of the river. The candle’s blue and yellow wax reflects these complementary spiritual associations and makes it suitable for a shared altar, devotional space, or respectful offering.
