Aeternum
Obaluaiê Bean
This bean is traditionally associated with Obaluaiê (orisha of death in Candomblé in Brazil, also called Babalu Aye in the Yoruba pantheon). It is a seed of Ricinus communis, a plant long considered a tool of black magic (and now used to obtain castor oil).
The Obaluaiê bean is therefore closely linked to these themes, representing both the ability to cause and heal ailments, and symbolizing the duality of destruction and regeneration.
You can use it to decorate an altar, or use it in a mojo as a powerful artifact of protection and banishment. In black magic, it should be used with caution and responsibility.
This bean is sold individually.

Obaluaiê Bean: Symbol of Transition and Divine Power
The Obaluaiê bean, derived from Ricinus communis, represents the very essence of transformation. Associated with Obaluaiê, the orisha of death and healing in Candomblé, it carries the marks of illness, renewal, and life cycles. Obaluaiê, also called Babalu Aye in the Yoruba tradition, embodies the forces of decay as well as resurrection. The bean embodies this powerful duality, blending energies of destruction and rebirth in every ritual or spiritual use.
Sacred Tool of Purification and Regeneration
Placed on an altar, the Obaluaiê bean is used to honor the deity and channel its purifying energies. It acts as a link between the visible world and the spiritual forces charged with healing and protection. Incorporated into mojos, it forms a formidable talisman against harmful influences. This seed is used in regeneration rituals to support healing processes, stabilize emotional states, and promote inner renewal. It also supports banishing work, where it acts as a catalyst for spiritual cleansing.
Ritual Handling and Magical Ethics
Ricinus communis has real toxicity, and this characteristic has long fueled its use in occult practices related to black magic. The Obaluaiê bean must be handled with care, as it concentrates forces capable of acting on subtle and physical planes. Its use requires a strict ethical framework. It is not a trivial object but a vector of intention that demands awareness and respect. Any operation involving this bean must be guided by clear and just objectives, respecting the traditions that consecrated it.

The Obaluaiê bean is a powerful artifact, linked to the orisha of death and healing in Candomblé and the Yoruba pantheon. It embodies the duality between destruction and regeneration. Its presence in a ritual or on an altar establishes a direct connection with the forces of transformation, banishment, and deep repair.
On an altar, it strengthens the power of works related to illness, the end of a cycle, or a spiritual transition. In a mojo bag, it acts as a barrier against invisible attacks and supports targeted banishment efforts. It can be placed in a sachet dedicated to breaking a spell, provided the intention is clear and controlled.
This seed carries raw energy. It should not be used lightly. Its use requires discernment, especially when integrated into black magic rituals. Always handle it with respect and never open or consume it.
Keep it in a dedicated place, away from everyday objects, to preserve its ritual power.
