The Book of Candelo is a clear, practical guide to serving Candelo Cedifé - the Voodoo Spirit of Fire. “Candelo” is the masculine of candela (heat, fire, spark), and Ce Dife in Creole means “the spark is fire.” This book presents disciplined, field-ready methods from Dominican Vodou (21 Divisiones) for correction, protection, and decisive movement. It favors order over show, steady lamps over one-off candles, and results over talk.
Inside you’ll find a plain-language foundation on who Candelo is and why he is paired with St. Charles Borromeo, how to build and keep his red-and-white altar, and how to read and work his numbers - 3 for ignition, 7 for reach. The heart of the book is action: step-by-step offerings and foods served piping hot; medicinal spiritual rums for external use; structured spiritual baths; advanced corn-oil lamps; and despojos using sweet herbs to reconcile and bitter herbs to chase out what clings. Guidance on tobacco, liquor, timing, and safe handling keeps the work strict and effective. Relationships with Anaisa, Belie, Metresili, and Legba are treated with clean boundaries so services do not mix currents by accident.
