Saya Iyawo Blanca - 30" Tall

Iyawo Skirt - Obatala. 

In Santería, the white saya (traditional long skirt) is a ritual garment that serves to represent purity, peace, and protection. It is used mainly in ceremonies, rites, and spiritual masses due to its direct connection with Obatala, the orisha of wisdom and creator of humanity.

• Symbol of Obatala: White is the sacred color of Obatala, so wearing this skirt invokes his blessing, calm, and mental clarity.
• Clothing of the Iyawó: It is a mandatory garment and of daily use for those initiated in the religion (Iyawó) during their year of purification.
• Spiritual protection: It is used in spiritual masses and spiritism sessions to maintain a clean energy vibration, repel bad energies, and facilitate the connection with spirits.
• Respect for the Orishas: Avoid nudity or inappropriate clothing during ceremonies and offerings, which is considered a lack of respect towards the deities.
