7-day candle · stays lit for 7 days7 dias
The Green Romani Candle is a ritual candle dedicated to the healing spirits of the Romani egregore. In Umbanda tents and in popular devotion, it is lit when the body asks for rest, emotions ask for calm, and health needs relief. The green tone represents hope, the healing forces of nature, and vital balance. On home altars, this flame works as a beacon of welcome that undoes heavy fatigue and renews one's energy.
The foundation of this ritual rests on the Romani people, a line welcomed in Umbanda by the Oriente or in autonomous tents. Friday is the most common moment to light the candle, although terreiros also set up Romani spirits on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Under the protection of Saint Sarah Kali, these guides use the energy of the forests and waters to renew vigor. In the Romani tradition, the restoration of health walks side by side with joy, singing, and freedom.
At home, set the candle in a safe place with a glass of water next to it to absorb miasmas and anchor serene vibrations. The flame offers spiritual support and strengthens the spirit during the recovery from illnesses or moments of exhaustion. This practice does not perform magical cures nor does it replace doctors, treatments, or medicines. The support of the Romani spirits adds strength to earthly medicine, bringing emotional balance and faith to those who need to recover.

- 5
Discard the remains with respect
Never blow out the candle if you need to extinguish it due to danger, use a snuffer. At the end of the burning, discard the paraffin residues in the common trash, wash the plate to reuse it, and pour the water on a plant or in a garden.
Precautions before lighting
- Always light on a firm plate or heat-resistant support, away from curtains, papers, drafts, and out of reach of children or pets.
- Spiritual practices and candle firmezas do not replace consultations, clinical diagnoses, surgeries, or medications prescribed by a doctor.

Questions about the Green Romani Candle
What is the best day to light the Vela de Cigano Verde?
The most traditional day is Friday, a day consecrated to the Romani spirit line in many terreiros and tendas. However, in cases of health needs or sudden physical discomfort, you can light the candle on any day of the week, as spiritual charity has no set time to provide relief.
Can I light the Romani spirit candle inside the house?
Yes, you can light it at home without any problem. The Romani spirits work in the radiation of the right, bringing peace, light, and healing to homes. Just reserve a clean space, place a glass of water next to it, and maintain normal precautions against fire accidents.
Can I blow out the candle before it finishes?
The ideal is to let it burn until the end, but you can blow it out if there is a safety risk or if you are leaving the house. Use a snuffer or a spoon to stop the flame without blowing, and relight it as soon as you return, renewing your prayer and health intention with respect.
What to do with the leftover candle wax?
The paraffin remains should be discarded in the common trash, as they have already fulfilled their energetic role in the material plane. The ceramic plate can be washed normally in running water and reused in other firmeza rituals. The water from the glass should be poured into a plant pot, garden, or a sink with running water.
What is the difference between the green Romani spirit candle and a common green candle?
The main difference is the ritual egregore and the spiritual direction of the firmeza. While the common green candle is used generally for health, forests, or in the vibration of Oxóssi (Oshosi), the green Romani spirit candle carries the label and the foundation directed to the spirits of the Romani tent and the Oriente Line, working on health along with Romani joy and magnetism.
Who are the Romani spirits worshipped in this candle?
They are benevolent spirits that act in the Romani Line and of the Orient in Umbanda, bringing light, healing, and guidance. These spirit guides bring the ancestral wisdom of the roads, the profound knowledge of herbs, and the warmth of universal love to console the distressed, renew vital forces, and open paths with freedom.
