F.A.Q. Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Sheloya Mystical and Our Products
Why do your beaded necklaces have three alternating red and black beads?
Not all of them do, just the ones with clasps. The reason why is because if a beaded necklace isn’t done in the traditional pattern for a particular Orisha all the way around, it may be a less effective talisman if Eshu isn’t called to “open the gate”. The three beads are put on at the beginning of necklaces to make sure that it is clear that it is a talisman.
If for some reason such as an accident or a fight, the necklace is broken, please remember to put red and black beads at the beginning, when you re-string it.
Why do you make so many charms from cowrie shells?
Cowrie shells were considered currency to the Yoruba people. They also belong to the Orisha called Aje Shaluga. Aside of their monetary value, they are used to make the sacred helmet and attire for Shango. The helmet is the home of his sister Bayanni. When a talisman or amulet is made from a cowrie shell, it’s like giving an offering to the Orisha so that you know that they know that you know you value them.
