Wearing Elekes

- This is a video that talks about some of the basic information regarding the wearing of Spiritual Beads also known as Elekes. These African seed beads are blessed and 'washed' in a sacred manner. These are not just worn to random places. These beads serve very specific purposes and the energy field around them is very real. Please leave questions in the comment section below. Thanks for watching. XOXO

Never thought I would even accept this type of Spirituality. But when moving to levels and the discovery has been so empowering. I am finding my Qara!
I’m so happy to see our people reclaiming our heritage. 🙂 Blessings on your path.
You do know this Santeria witch craft originated from Hispanics, the true heritage from this is Cubans and other Hispanic Latinos
I really appreciated your demonstration of wearing Elekes. Thank you
How blessed you are; your spiritual essence is very strong I feel the connection and I'm in Chicago. Stay loved and safe. 💕
Im laughing at your Chango dream. Found out he's my Baba . Before I even knew anything of our tradition, I had a dream of him and I saw a tall dark skin man . Damn near as tall as the sky, yet it wasn't abnormal. And he was playing with me like I was a child. He was showing off and had his axe and slammed it making a thunderous sound. Man, after the dream some months later, I found out how he manifests and it was exactly what I saw in a dream. He really does make his presence known to all. And Oya is my Iya+head. As a son of Oya, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. Truly its an honor to be one of her children. I couldn't ask for more. She responds to me in the 3D whenever I call. As Chango be hijacking my dreams. 😂Asé
Hey Sis, I just found out I Shango is my head Orisa ❤❤❤. I saw a skinny man with leopard skin. I dreamed of a ram headed person. A black cat snatched a red string I had on my arm. I ran his ass down and took my stuff back. I had a dream about a dog I saw also. I am so honored.
Excellent video, I love African spirituality. I honor all Orishas that I'm aware of. I also start with eshu/elegba due to not knowing my head Orisha. I will subscribe and look forward to seeing more videos ❤🖤💚
GREAT explanation of ilekes love your humility and spirit. Thank you
My eleke has a heartbeat when I squeeze it

I watched you’re video very well spoken and very educated thank you for your time I look forward to watching more videos of yours
What is best to bless your beads?? I don’t have a godparents!! But I want to know more
You have to make ebo
I am also in Atlanta. Would it be possible to meet? I have some questions & would like to learn more about Santeria. A lady tried to include me in a ceremony about 15 years ago & I declined at that time. Since then, the energy around Santeria keeps popping up in my life. Now, I would like to face it.. and learn. Please let me know if we can talk. Thank you for this great education. Wholeness & balance 🌱💞
Iboru, Iyanifa you are beautiful keep helping!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge sis.
You are welcome!
Soy mexicana , pero my abuela and most of my tias are involved with Santeria or some type of spiritual things . And my abuela died when I was 2 and my tias are still alive but I don’t see them often , it just sucks cuz since I was a baby I’ve seen n felt things n talked to spirits , in claravoyant Most the time just by being in a room with someone even without knowing them I can see all they’re memories & thoughts n feelings and just always been very aware in the spiritual world but I have no one to go to, I’m pulled to many things and have so much questions , and I just wish I had someone to teach me
I can completely relate. Get an Ifa reading and let them know that you were introduced to the religion as a child; not by initiation or practice but by your family being involved. Make sure the Priestess or Baba that does your reading is legit 💯 Things can go wrong if they don’t know what they’re doing. I hope this was helpful 🌻🤍✨🙏🏽
LãSirene Music thank you !
I currently live in Texas but my Ile is in Atlanta. Miss going to Oshun festivals where we mingle and brethren with many different Ile's. There's none here 🤦🏾♂️
Oh there's actually a few here in Texas. Houston specifically
I’m from Atlanta I go to a temple here in Houston here’s my number 4703012828
Beautiful vibe and soul
Very early on my journey was introduced to ifa in 2020 very happy to learn thank you for this video
Thank you honestly your amazing🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank You...Ijust got a reading and I think Yemaya may be my mother abd Obatala my father,Wonderful video.
Finally somebody on youtube making sense. West African beliefs (Yoruba in particular) are not like those middle eastern beliefs, in those systems someone proselytizes and you convert. West African beliefs are based on birthright. If you Balanta today you don't convert and become Yoruba tomorrow.
My understanding is anyone can practice and be initiated into Yoruba. Are you talking about tribes in West Africa? Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba etc?
@@frijolero6048 Well actually, during the days when my ancesters were still in Yorubaland (my mitochondria DNA is of the Yoruba in Nigeria) you didn't convert outside of your ethnic group; but, you are correct today West Africa is so influenced by Islams & Christianity that an Irish or Japanese person can convert to Yoruba or any other West African belief. This converting thing is part of the colonial world view. And you didn't say "I want to be initiated into the priesthood of an Orish". The elders of each Orisa watches all those family members who worship an Orisa. The elders watch how you move and how you carry yourself and it was the elders who decided if a person would be initiated, they approached you and told you to show up at a certain place and time and that's how it was done back then.
@@MrEhu3 Thanks for explaining. My experience is through Cuba where it's treated like a religion. Very positive for Cuban society and the community and the expression of Yoruba culture throughout the arts is amazing - especially the contemporary folk groups and jazz. ✌️
Absolutely love this video! I’m wondering if there is anyway I can contact you about something important about my Yemaya neckless!?
Thank you sweetie Love and blessing
I hope I don’t offend anyone with my question but yesterday I was just going about my day and out of nowhere an eleke fell from nowhere on the floor and it’s blue and white I believe that represents Yemaya. I had stopped practicing for some time and suddenly this happens... is this a coincidence? What does this mean.. again I apologize for my ignorance I’ve never had this happen before and I can’t find any answers
Definitely a sign, tune in to your ancestors for guidance 🙏🏾💜
I have a question.... is your "priest" of carribean decent correct?
Someone contacted me and requested sending me Elekes oshun fortified beads for protection I wanted to know more about them
Did you ever find out ?
@@abmkey7144 yeah someone told me if was a hoax to get more money I never got the beads neither cause they wanted 300$
@@designerzoh624 my baba shipped them to me it cost 200 for beads add me on Facebook abm steppa
The Chop Up in box me at coretatimmons@gmail.com I have them
You can only receive them in ceremony! They cannot be mailed, you have to be cleansed, It needs to be blessed go through ceremony! People please be aware of the scams
Wow family & thanks for the info,I didn’t know that the orisha OYA is associated with amethyst (my favorite) crystal/can you elaborate more please??
Hi, her color is wine, purple and the rainbow so any stones those colors will resonate with her energy.
Can you wear them without being ifá
Absolutely
So don’t wear them while you on your cycle?
Ifa doesnt give elekes maam only santeria, lucumi osha
Wow, we have similar dreams about animals ❤
Is it dangerous wearing the beaded necklaces without being blessed are sacrificed?
No. It's just paying homage vs having the protection.
Are you supposed to take them off as well if you self pleasure on self?
well do you have any protecting beading beacuse i have few bad realionship and I did prey evernight and I think i have a garide angle some
Ifa is ifa and lukumi osha is that just little info on that
How do you find a god mother or god father?
Great Knowledge
I have a question when you put on elekes do the Orisha start to speak to you? Please answer thank you
Absolutely, the elekes are like portable altars for your Orisha. The herb washes that the elekes are soaked in activate their energy. Similar to how crystals work for lack of better terms.
praise him When you say “speak to you”, what do you mean? Orisha generally do not “speak” directly to us. They are not like spirit guides, that have that capability.
Interesting video Im glad I found you cause, I have red and black necklace purchased from local botanical store, I needed something for protection that's when she showed me this particular necklace she told me that it is used, for protection the black repels here to learn more about it she never mentioned it's a Orisha necklace now trying figure out ways to use it what exactly it stands for smh.
its only charged with the Orisa when it is given to you properly (ie.santero, Iyanifa, babalawo). Buying it from a store only leaves it as a black and red necklace.
I live in Atlanta and I’m looking for official reading or temple

Thank you
You are welcome!
I JUST WORSHIP GOD...HAVE A BLESSED DAY SISTER
Ok good for you
Why come here then?
You don't even know OLODUMARE
How does someone know Santeria isn’t with the devil / deals with the devil? I am not trying to offend anyone or lack in faith. Someone tried telling me that and now I’m scared because I am in the religion.
In this world, we have to decide what path is best for us. The devil is a European religious concept so it does not refer to Santeria, an Afro Cuban spiritual practice.
@@bohemianhearttarot3735 thank you. I feel like this person tried to scare me from my own practices and religion. And it got in my head. What made you join Santeria? If you don’t mind me asking.
@@AlondraLopez-oz9re This energy connected with me since my 20s. It just made sense and felt right. Also, I am over 80percent west African. My lineage connects with IFA.
How can i get in touch with you for a readin
I'm a child of Oya
My wife and I bought some elekes from this botanica and they told us nothing about them. Do we bless them before we put them on. And we're both trying to work with ifa but how do we go about doing it
They aren’t authentic. You have to find a godparent. Iya or baba
@@limabean711 how do I do that
King Hillel you don’t need a god parent
Yes you do need a god parent, you cannot buy elekes from Amazon, yahoo, eBay, etc. you all need to stop trying to mess with tradition through your own ego.
@@dclxvi7960 yes you do , you cannot buy elekes from stores or any type of shop … they will not be blessed .You have to go through the process!
I'm African American but been told by co workers from Somalia I look somalian😂anyway would it be disrespectful if I wore santeria beads and African power beads to pay homage for the African descents🤔
No it's not disrespectful @all. Some practice Ifa, Lucumi ,Voodoo, Santeria or Palo mayombe. Depending on what resonates with them. Trust your intuition regarding the path that is best for you! As Africans migrated so did the the tradition. Peace
@@bohemianhearttarot3735 Thanks melanated malika✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼
Never wear Orisha beads and beads of palo or from other systems at the same time. They are different energies, and will conflict. You can wear the beads, but understand, if they are not washed and fed, they will not carry the energy of that spirit. Good luck on your path.
I need to find a ifa house in Atlanta
Facts bro
But why worship the diety connected yo the beads than worship god? SERIOUS QUESTION
Is there a way I can get in contact with you have a few questions
Gypsylintarot@gmail.com
Hi can I pray over my Elekes
What to do if my element falls on the ground
What happens if you don’t take them off during a “quickie”? Like you totally forgot?
Nothing my dear because I have use to all this and my gods parents told me nothing
do you give Elekes with the readings and do you do the ebos
In which order should you put on and take off elekes ??
I have a question where can I get some elekes and I’m not Initiated
Would you be able to tell me my crown orisha ?

Hey sister!! I would like to get a reading.. How could I contact you directly??

@@bohemianhearttarot3735 I need a reading do you have a phone number
I made my own Elegua eleke (I live in Canada). I visited a Babalawo in Cuba a couple of decades ago for divination. 😀 It was an amazing experience. I used to sleep with my eleke. One night I was half asleep and grabbed the eleke and 'ripped it off' my neck. And I held it in my hand half asleep and thought 'why did I just do that?' I didn't know at the time that you're not supposed to sleep with it. Was it intervention? 😊
Sir babalaos dont give elekes they only give orula eleke the green and white beads
@@JoseRodriguez-lt7xi I know. If you reread my post, you'll see that I made the eleke myself. In Cuba, I went to a Babalawo for divination. He only gave me information. ✌️
@@JoseRodriguez-lt7xi I know. I made it myself. I know it's not consecrated. ✌️I went to a babalawo in Cuba. He didn't give me anything, just Ifa divination. ☮️
Does it mean anything when you dream about people wearing those necklaces?
2 dreams so far
Hi, not 100percent sure! I used to get alot of dreams like that but idk for sure. Thanks
@@bohemianhearttarot3735 glad to know I’m not the only one thank you!
Girl as if I am no mathmatician hey don't mean any wrong just want to bless y'all 💞 peace
If you disliking get off the page
Is it ok to use both the Orula eleke and bracelet?
Yes. This protection is from an early death.
Can you answer my question from the other comment? Al you very much
Isese ifa do not give out elekes either only santeria priests and lukumi
Where do you find a group to initiate you?
How does God of the Bible relate to the Orisha and Olodumare ?
Oludamare God and Orishas Angels or saints

Goodmorning how did you find a teacher, a mother a father I haven't been looking I believed these things will present them self to me should I be looking and also what I have noticed is there is so much wickedness going on with these spiritual parents i hope one day the right people will show up
There is a lot of wickedness in any practice. I was taught by several individuals over many years. It takes time and prayer

Where do I get blessed elekes from?
You should check Etsy
Nooo you have to find a godparent ... you can’t buy these at botannicas and online... authentic ones at least
You cannot get any kind of blessed beads from Etsy, Amazon, yahoo nothing. You have to go through a ceremony. Wearing beads that are bought is just like wearing regular jewelry from H&M. No difference
@@COSMICCFREQUENCY144 yo peace but shut up you can bless them yourself . Find yourself , higher self you will see all your celestials , etc . I know for certain all my elekes are linked into every orisha energy & MORE . they innerstand me & I pay homage everyday by my lonely 💯🥷🏾☯️🤍💚
@@uzireyba6147 Nigga you shut up. I really was gonna let this comment slide, but watch how you come in people @ talking especially if you tryna have a healthy energy exchange. Nobody is saying you have to get them birthed for you and you can do whatever you please, but in ISESE, IFA, SANTERIA, palo ETC your elekes have to be blessed and BIRTED. Idk why any of you (including myself) think we’re so special we don’t have to go through the same traditions and steps that every single orisha had to go through. Would you go in a 200+ year Buddhist temple telling them their practices and ways? Your elekes are just that, elekes you purchased out the store and blessed yourself. They haven’t been birthed to you by people already BIRTHED by the spirit in tradition, which means you aren’t in a ATR tradition, you just wearing your own special beads. Do you even know why we receive elekes ? What the corals and stones represent? Why obatala elekes are longer than the rest of the Orishas ? And by the way elekes aren’t BLESSED THEY ARE BIRTED LIKE A NEW BORN BABY IS BIRTHED THEY ARE BIRTHED. Humble yourself and never come thinking you know It all. I certainly don’t. Peace

Ashe sister im the child if elleggua
I recently began to use the Orula Eleke and I don’t know if it’s me but do you ever get the feeling like you think of something then it happens? Is this the way of showing me Orula is present? It’s almost like everything is a coincidence like if I thought of something the it happens
Yes. I have the hand of orunmilla so he shows me things. He sits over divination so this makes sense. Ashe
