A Sacred Dance of Light and Spirit
With Yeye Luisah Teish and Kelly M. Beard
17 May 2025

Shamans Directory Ambassador YeYe Luisah Teish and Kelly M. Beard invite you to step into the luminous embrace of fire and spirit in this sacred gathering where they will guide an exploration into the ancient wisdom of candles, their colors, and the art of conjuring. Through the flickering flame, you will commune with ancestors, open portals to the unseen, and call forth blessings of love, protection, prosperity, and transformation.

During this gathering, you will return to the Indigenous way of learning the sacred symbology of color, discovering how each hue carries its own vibrational medicine, and how to dress, bless, and breathe power into them for manifestation. Whether seeking healing, clarity, justice, or elevation, you will journey into the world of intentional candlework — rooted in the African diaspora traditions, the ancestral wisdom of several cultures, and the deep knowing of the Earth’s cycles.

Together, you will listen to one another in sacred community, unveil the spiritual significance of candle colors and their role in conjure work, compose prayers, recite invocations, and create rituals to empower our intentions, exploring herbs, oils, and symbols amplify the potency of candle magic.

This will be more than a class. It will free you from the boundaries of colonial thinking, allowing you to break away from the standard Western way of teaching and learn to recover your indigenous mind, heart and relationships.

Bring an open heart, your personal story and your reverence, for we will ignite more than just wax and wick, we will awaken the ancient Light within.
