How to use the 7 African Powers Amulet

The 7 African Powers amulet is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a connection to the seven orishas and their ability to protect, guide and bless you. You can wear it as-is, but to really establish a strong link with the Seven African Powers, you should cleanse and consecrate it.

Cleansing the amulet:

• Begin by cleansing the amulet to rid it of any residual energy from previous handling or manufacturing. You can do this by gently washing it with mild soap and water.

Consecrating the amulet:

• Consecrate the amulet during a dedicated ritual. Anoint it with 7 African Powers ritual oil while reciting prayers or invocations (such as this 7 African Powers Prayer), inviting the spirits to bless and empower the amulet for your protection and guidance.
• Hold the amulet in your hands and concentrate on your intentions. Visualize the protection and guidance you seek from the Seven African Powers. You can speak your concerns aloud to them if you would like.

Once cleansed and consecrated, wear the amulet regularly. Treat it amulet with respect and reverence. Avoid allowing others to touch it, as this may disrupt its energy alignment.

If you wish to strengthen your connection with the Seven African Powers even more, take moments to pray or meditate while wearing the amulet. Invoke the spirits, expressing gratitude for their protection, blessings and guidance.
