Oba Incense
Very little is known or remembered about Oba, so in and outside of Africa, we are doing our best with what we have. This recipe has been acceptable in my family’s practice, so I am sharing it. As with everything else, feel free to share your experiences with what works for you in the comments.
- 3 star anise seeds for Eshu
- a handfull of copal
- a handfull finely chopped or powdered (as well as possible) pink tea roses
- a tablespoon basil
- a pinch of garlic
- 1 finely chopped or powdered bay leaf
- 1/4 cup dried, crushed (as well as possible) okra seeds
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan or Senegalese pink salt or Hawaiian red salt (for protection)
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Crush these in a mortar and pestle or hand crank food processor. Keep them in a pretty covered bowl or jar. It should look crafty and cute, and have pink and blue.
Oba Devotional Oil
- 6 seeds star anise, cracked, not crushed, for Eshu
- 1 liter olive oil
- 1 dried clove of garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- a handfull of tea roses
- a teaspoon of dried basil
- 1 small sweet red pepper seed area with the seeds
- a teaspoon pink or red salt
Put all the dry ingredients in a jar or bottle, and pour over the olive oil. Give it a good shake with happy energy. Consecrate, and then keep in a cool, dry, and dark place for at least 3 months, but preferably 8.
