7-day candle · stays lit for 7 days7 dias
The White Romani Candle is a candle ritual consecrated to the spirits of the Romani falange who act in charity. Although the Romani people are very associated with bright colors, the white candle has a central role of peace in the tents. It is lit when seeking serenity, spiritual cleansing, and pacification of the mind, functioning as a point of light that dissipates anguish, softens friction in the home, and clears thoughts.
In Umbanda and in the Romani tents, this spiritual legion acts under the mantle of Saint Sarah Kali and in harmony with the light of the orixás (orishas). The Romani spirits bring the memory of the free life on the roads, respect for nature, and mastery of intuition. Friday is the traditional day to set this candle, although some houses use Monday. The terreiro custom guides placing a glass with pure water nearby, a receiving element that collects miasmas and renews spiritual freshness.
At home, the flame burns calmly, creating an environment suitable for prayer and mental rest. This candle does not make miraculous promises and is not for selfish requests or the imposition of wills, as the Romani respect free will and work only for the good. By lighting it with respect, you invite the light of the spirit guides into your home, allowing Romani wisdom to inspire patience in words and bring serenity to overcome daily difficulties.

Step by step
How to consecrate the White Romani Candle
- 1
Choose a clean and quiet place
Set aside a calm space in the house, such as an altar, oratory, or a sturdy piece of furniture. Clean the surface well before positioning the candle, ensuring that the location conveys a sense of peace and seclusion (recolhimento) for your prayers.
- 2
Place the cup with fresh water nearby
Position the glass cup with clean water on the left side of the candle. This water element functions as a traditional energy filter of the tents, capturing heavy loads and keeping the environment purified.
- 3
Bring the rosemary sprig close to the firmeza
Lay the fresh rosemary sprig next to the plate where the candle will be lit. The herb helps with mental clarity and enhances the vibration of peace and serenity that you are inviting into your life and your home.

Light the wick with a wooden match
Strike the match while visualizing light and tranquility in your thoughts. As you see the flame rise, take a deep breath, calm your heart, and offer your greeting to the Romani people (cigano) with respect and sincere devotion.

Make your prayer and talk to the spirit guides
Recite the devotional prayer with a calm voice and state your requests for peace, emotional healing, and wisdom. Speak openly with the Romani spirits of the tent, as one who dialogues with loving and loyal protectors.

Precautions before lighting
- Keep the candle on a sturdy support and a ceramic plate, away from curtains, flammable products, and out of reach of children and pets.

Questions about the White Romani Candle
Who are the Romani spirits of the tent in Umbanda?
The Romani spirits of the tent are spirits of light in Umbanda who act mainly in the Oriente Line, working with spiritual charity, ancestral wisdom, and fraternal counseling. They bring the energy of freedom, emotional healing, and joy, using elements of nature such as herbs, crystals, and fire to undo anguish and assist seekers in their paths.
What is the best day to light the white Romani candle?
The best day is Friday, a day traditionally consecrated to the Romani people and the energies of harmony in many houses of Umbanda. However, since it is a white candle aimed at peace and the cleansing of thoughts, it can also be firmada on Monday or at any moment when you feel an urgent need to calm the heart and pacify the environment.
Can I light the white Romani candle inside the house?
Yes, you can light the candle inside the house with total tranquility, as long as you take the proper precautions regarding fire safety. Since it is a firmeza of peace and spiritual elevation dedicated to the right-side guides of the Romani tent, its presence attracts beneficial energies, helping to harmonize family relationships and renew the atmosphere of your home.
What is the difference between the white Romani candle and a common white candle?
The main difference lies in the devotional label and the intention of consecration directed toward the spiritual legion (falange) of the Romani people. While the simple white candle is neutral and can be used for any orixá or Guardian Angel, the white Romani candle carries the sacred image of the Romani couple, serving as a specific focal point to tune into the wisdom and protection of these benevolent spirits.
Why light a white candle for the Romani spirits if they wear colorful clothes?
The white candle is used because white gathers all the colors of the light spectrum and vibrates at the frequency of universal peace, purity, and mental clarity. Although the Romani work with ribbons and candles of all colors for specific spells of love or prosperity, the white candle is the perfect choice to calm conflicts, clear the mind, and ask for neutral and serene spiritual support.
Can I blow out the 7-day candle if I need to leave the house?
The ideal is not to put out the flame, keeping it in a safe place on a plate with water at the bottom or inside a proper holder. If it is strictly necessary to put it out for caution, never blow on the wick: use a snuffer or a saucer to smother the fire with respect. Upon returning, light it again with a match, mentally reinforcing your prayer to the Romani people.
What to do with the cup of water and the wax remains after the burning?
The water from the cup should be poured onto the earth, in a plant pot or in the garden, returning to nature what was absorbed during the firmeza. The paraffin remains and the dry herb scraps can be wrapped in paper and placed in the common trash. The glass cup and the ceramic plate can be washed normally in running water and reused in daily life.
