Bóveda 101: Building a Connection with Your Ancestors

🕯️ Introduction

The bóveda espiritual is your spiritual communication hub—a place to connect with your Eggun (ancestors), spiritual commissions, and guides. In Espiritismo and Lukumí practices, it serves as both a source of protection and insight. Whether you’re receiving dreams, facing challenges, or growing spiritually, your bóveda should be active and respected.

📜 What Is a Bóveda?

A sacred space (usually a table) covered in white and set with items to attract and maintain spiritual presence.

It can be used daily for prayer, meditation, and spiritual investigation.

Ancestors are fed with water, candlelight, and intention.
