How long will the offering last? Tips to complete the work

The offering will be active for 7 daysLet's remember that 7 is the number of Yemaya in Santeria, so we will give you 7 fruits. But if for some reason, the fruits start to go bad, we must take them before, the offering must be beautiful and in perfect condition when we deliver it.

When you finish the prayer, blow out the candles and light them every day for a while for 7 consecutive days, take advantage of that day to talk to the holy orisha and ask her for your request, talk to her about what you need and open your heart like a child to a mother.

On the seventh day you go to the sea with the fruits wrapped in the cloth and deposit your offering to Yemayá and the virgin, only the fruits, also throwing your 7 cents right.

It is important that this offering be deposited in the seaOtherwise, it may not give us the same results.

However, if you wholeheartedly want to deliver it and you don't have the sea nearby, place the offering under a leafy tree, or I also recommend choose another offering, learn about other rituals to Yemayá (click here).

3 final tips to keep in mind:

1. Make your offering in front of Yemayá or an image of the Virgin of Regla.
2. Visualize your situation already resolved, it is vital to express our wishes from gratitude.
3. Take some honey to the sea for when you put the fruits, pour a little into its waters while you thank her, talk to her and make your request.

you will be wondering, what do I do with the blue cloth and the basket or plate? Well, we are going to leave the container at home, to reuse it in other rituals and we can also keep the cloth, or if you want, you can clean your whole body with the blue cloth and throw it on a mountain near the sea. 

When I say get clean, it means take the cloth with your hand and pass it all over your body, starting with the head and ending at the feet, it is like a stripping of all kinds of negative energies.

Remember that the main ingredient in this work in the name of the Virgin of Regla and Yemayá is, above all, faith, put a lot of Faith in it.
