What is a spirit vessel?

A spirit vessel is just that, a vessel. Misterios (Mystères) also known as loa, are spirits that abide within all the elements and más allá (or beyond the veil). This traditon is similar to many others in that scared objects have always been used to house the essence or energy of a spirit. In our tradition, potes or bottles can be used as a means to house the misterio and do not require any initiations or head washings. They are personal objects consecrated for a person and a purpose. Each pote has been given what is often referred to as a punto/pwen, which means point. The punto serves as the point of invocation and injection of the energy of the lwa into the object. This is why libation bottles often sold openly online are not vessels because the have not been given the proper punto nor have they been properly consecrated. Only caballos de misterios or other clergy within the tradition have licencia (or license) to do a punto. Veves are not meant for decoration and should not be treated as mere ornate symbols. Even though they can be used in a punto (though not always required), a veve will not have the full energy of its corresponding misterio without one.
Why should I not get a spirit vessel?

Spirit Vessels are not libations bottles, which are often simply decorative elements used for serving the spirit. These vessels are intended to serve or rather work for a purpose. They are not meant for decoration or just mere curiosity. Attempting to simply purchase one void of reverence and devotion will simply cause the spiritl to leave the vessel. Furthermore, this vessel is meant to work for the person indicated and is not intended to be used as a means to assist others. A vessle is not a proxy for an initiation into the tradition nor is one needed in order for the loa to assist you. Most importantly: These vessels are NOT INTENDED FOR MALEVOLENT WORKINGS! Meaning, they cannot be used to hex, curse, bind, bring vengence or any other harm to another being. It is soley meant to assist you in your personal development and not violate anyone's God given free will.
How do I know which type of vessel to purchase and can I get more than one?

You should use your intuition and pray thoroughly on what you need and what you need is not always what you want. Seek divine guidance from God and the misterios to help you pick out the vessel that will work for you best. Loas can handle multiple issues at once and others are much more focused on certain causes. If you need assistance in trying to pick out a vessel or cannot determine whether you need more than one, please contact us and we will gladly guide you.
What do I do once I get my vessel?

We suggest that you follow the directions given to you in your package. Also reach out via the contact page if you have any questions, we will gladly assist.
Do I need to have my vessel with me?

No, but it should be kept in a safe, sanctified place. Instead of having your vessel shipped to you, we can glady keep it in our altar for safe keeping and energetic charge. A photo of the final product will be sent to you. If you choose this option, please note that the vessel cannot be shipped at a later date.
How long should I keep my vessel?

These vessels are meant to serve a purpose. Once the objective/goal is complete, you can either keep it or dispose of it according to our instructions (usually this means leaving it a river or some natural setting). If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
What should I do the maintain my vessel?

1. Best if kept at home or in a place that is very personal to you 2. Pray & meditate over it and make sure to inject your energy, love and faith upon receiving (God is always first in this tradition) 3. Feel free to place in your personal altar if you wish 4. Keep in a cool & dry place, away from humidity
What should I not do with my vessel?

1. Do not open the vessel! 2. Do not lend to anyone or regift 3. Avoid letting unrelated people touch it at all costs unless the vessel is intended for more than one person 4. Do not use as decoration and/or keep in plain sight, where there can be too much traffic 5. Do not pick apart any of the decorative ornaments outside of the vessel 6. Do not use as a means of spiritual workings for others 7. Do not intend to use it as means to harm other or violate the free will of others (believe us, it will not work!)
