Pombagira Rosa Negra candle
7-day candle · stays lit for 7 days7 dias
Those who seek the Pombagira Rosa Negra candle almost always come from a love story that left a mark. It is a candle of the left, set in Umbanda and in Quimbanda, with a black base and a pink top, divided horizontally. Black gathers and cuts; pink guards the affection that deserves to stay. It is lit for Dona Rosa Negra, one of the Pombagiras who work with roses.
Pombagira is not an orixá (orisha) nor a figure of evil: she is a guardian, a female Exu (Eshu), and Rosa Negra is the name of a falange, not of a single person. The people of the terreiro say that she demands a price from those who try to bind another's will and from those who live by deceiving in love. Her life stories vary greatly and are oral tradition. Some houses work with her along with the Linha das Almas on Monday; most follow Friday, the night of the Pombagira gira.
Lit at home, this candle does not bring anyone back and does not decide for anyone. It accompanies a request of yours: let go of what hurts, close the door to those who disrespect you, and recover your dignity. If the matter is a spell cast against you or the firmeza of a spirit, the one who provides guidance is the leader of your house.

Prayer to light
Prayer of the Pombagira Rosa Negra candle for freedom
“Dona Rosa Negra, guardian of the roses and mistress of the night, receive this light that I light with respect. You know the weight I carry in my chest and you know where it came from. Untie the knot that binds me to those who do not wish me well, cut the word that diminished me and remove from my door those who only arrived to hurt me. I do not ask for anyone's will: I ask for mine back. Teach me to choose with my eyes open and to like myself before expecting others to like me. Guard my emotional path and my sleep. Also receive my gratitude, which is true. Laroyê, Rosa Negra! Rosa Negra is Mojubá!”Light the candle and pray

Questions about the Pombagira Rosa Negra Candle
Who is Pombagira Rosa Negra?
She is a pombagira of the spiritual legion (falange) that works with roses, a guardian of the left in Umbanda and in Quimbanda. People of the faith seek her for matters of affection: to undo what binds, to protect, and to restore self-respect. The life stories told about her are oral tradition and change from house to house.
What is the best day to light the Rosa Negra candle?
Friday night, which is when most houses hold a pombagira gira. Terreiros that work her along with the Linha das Almas prefer Monday. Both forms exist; follow the one of your house, if you have one.
Does the Pombagira Rosa Negra candle serve to bring the person back?
No. Her field is exactly the opposite: releasing forced bonds and charging those who try to bind another's will. Ask for your freedom and for your peace. Whoever needs to return will return on their own legs.
Can you light a pombagira candle inside the house?
You can, with respect and outside the congá of the orixás. The custom is a low place, near the door or in a reserved corner. If you have a terreiro, ask the leader if the house has any specific rules for working with the left at home.
Can you put out the Rosa Negra 7-day candle?
The ideal is not to put it out. If you need to travel or be away for a long time, smother it with a saucer, never with a breath, and relight it upon your return by saying the request again. Blowing is seen as undoing the request with your own breath.
What is the difference between the Rosa Negra candle and the red and black one?
The red and black is the general color of Exu and pombagira and goes to the left as a whole. The Rosa Negra brings the label and the pink of the spiritual legion (falange) and is addressed to her, with a focus on wounded affection and undoing what binds.
What to do with the rose, the water, and the glass at the end?
The withered rose goes to the soil of a garden or the foot of a tree. The water goes to the soil or to the drain. The glass cup of the 7-day candle goes wrapped to the trash; do not reuse it for another spirit.
