Campana means "bell," named for the big white bell shaped flowers that hang from the plant. It's a beautiful, elegant herb with a strong place in Cuban practice. Each order is one fresh bunch.
What is Campana used for?
Campana is associated with Obatalá, the Orisha of peace, purity and clarity, because of its pure white flowers. It's used in calming spiritual baths, in offerings and to bring peace and clarity into the home.
How do people use it?
- Calming baths: the flowers and leaves are added to water for a peaceful bath.
- Offerings to Obatalá: the white flowers are placed on his altar.
- Home blessing: the water is used to wash floors and bring calm.
Campana is toxic if eaten, so it's for external spiritual use only and should be kept away from children and pets. Your godparent or olorisha will tell you how it fits into your own work, since every house has its own way.
