Rituals and Ceremonials

Yaya Maria’s services include the energies her guide spirits and Orishas make available, her experience, the multiple years of spiritual practices, initiations, the powers of her spirits and her faith and spiritual practices.
Yaya Maria is a native Cuban Espiritista Medium, Santera, and Palera by initiations, who has spent many years developing her gifts, learning, studying, practicing, paying her dues, failing, succeeding, sacrificing to learn and serve her spirits and Orishas.
Yaya Maria is strong and experienced; she works with powerful guides and spirits, she has her feet firmly on earth which allows her to cast effective spells in the real world, without major repercussions. Yaya Matia knows what she is doing and how to work with the right spirits and forces to attain desired results.

Since about 90% of the requests we receive are directed to this area, we will try to explain how the spiritual work is done in general, keep in mind that every situation is different, but this general statement applies to all.
First I want to share a very important fact : SPELLS DO NOT CHANGE THE INDIVIDUAL’S  BASIC NATURE.
The spirits and Orishas when summoned can influence individuals and situations, can make someone take action and manipulate decisions, with our rituals we bring the energies and spirits to situations, but no ceremonial will ever make a person change completely and become who you want him/her to be.
When it comes to relationships, different ceremonials may be used. First I consult you and see what can be done to help you stabilize your own state of affairs. If you are depressed and unbalanced, I have to work with you to find ways to help you feet better, it is part of the problem and must be part of the solution.
This is very difficult, many approach me and are willing to pay any amount of money for the promise that his/her ex-lover will be back, it breaks my heart when I advise a client to work to improve its own weaknesses, and see people not willing to accept their own reality, remember you need to help yourself before you can help others, you need to be strong if you want to summon some spirits, you need to put your own needs above everyone else and you need to love yourself first and foremost.
Rarely is a situation or relationship fixed overnight, please remember, your relationship did not deteriorate overnight either, it took time, actions and influences to deteriorate and now we are calling the spirits to help us fix it.

Ashe
Yaya Maria

Yaya Maria is always open to answer any calls, her clients have her personal number and she can be reached anytime.
However, she expects her clients to be considered and limit unscheduled calls to real emergency situations.
Excessive and abusive unscheduled calls will deteriorate your relationship and it will get to the point when Yaya Maria won’t be able to answer them any longer or she may start billing you for her time.

Mostly No.
Spirits do not harm people, people harm people.  Some negative entities can make you weak, vulnerable or create chaos, the harm happens when you do not take the right actions and act in time to correct it.
Yaya Maria works with responsible spirits and her spirits will never harm you, they will protect you from harm, the same way they protect Yaya Maria.

Yes, Yaya Maria is really good when it comes to sending things back, she has guides who specialize in return work and are the best at it.
But it is not about Yaya Maria or her spirits willing to do the work, is about you being ready for it and your own expectations, reversal work may be what you want and in a world of instant gratification, we want to see the person suffer and come back asking for forgiveness.
There is a very important part of reversal work, many choose to ignore it because it is not convenient and it is strength and protection. If you were harmed by someone’s actions, physically or spiritually, it means your own spiritual protections were weak or have been weakened, doing reversal work out of the blue, just because that is what you want may cause more harm than good.
The first and most important part of any reversal work is to protect you and strengthen you against your enemies, give you the tools to overcome the damage and the strength to the spirits to send it all back.
A vulnerable and unprotected person, hiring someone to send back or doing negative spell work against others, may just open the door for entities to drain more and can end up making things worse for the client, therefore if you are serious about reversal work, you must be willing to get stronger, or else it may not bring you the desired result. Some people say that these spells “backfire”, no, spells cast properly with the right protections never backfire.

Some custom work requires biological samples or other materials from you and/or others, it is an important part to link the spiritual work to the physical realm of the individuals.
Yaya Maria will work with you to find the appropriate items and will tell you what may work or not.
Details of what is needed will be discussed on the case to case basis with each client before the work is offered.

Yaya Maria always consults the spirits on the work progress to see where we are standing.
However, custom ritual services do not come with unlimited free consultations.
Yaya Maria likes to offer support to all her clients, but will not tolerate abuse.
Remember, when you order spiritual work is to call the spirits and for the spirits to help you, not an excuse for unlimited therapy sections.

Mostly yes, in Yaya Maria’s practices and based on her own experience, spiritual work must be directed to the spirits and the needs of the person, and there is nothing that can be done wholesale.
Spiritual needs are unique to each individual and it is important to tailor any spiritual work by the directions and needs of the spirits.
Once in a while, Yaya Maria will offer ceremonials to the specific Orishas that could help anyone and consultations are not required.

Any and all custom rituals and ceremonials require a previous consultation.
At times Yaya Maria may offer rituals or spiritual items that will help anyone in any situation and a consultation is not required, it will be posted in the description.

No, Yaya Maria does not take pictures of her ceremonials, rituals, Orisha’s altars or Palo cauldrons, it is part of her tradition and the way of her ancestors, Yaya Maria respects them and follow their teachings, if you want to see the work, you will need to be here in person.

Yaya Maria’s spiritual services are part of her life and belief system, Palo Mayombe and Santeria are her religions and the forces that guide her daily life, what you some call spells is a daily routine for Yaya Maria.
Yaya Maria is always in communication with her spirits on a regular basis, she makes offerings to her spirits every day, it is her lifestyle and the spirits guide her life. Yaya Maria has seen first hand the powers of the spirits and the miracles from the Orishas.
However, Yaya Maria cannot guarantee you will get what you want or ask, Yaya Maria guarantees she does her work, Yaya Maria is ethical and authentic, but she does not have control of the universe and everything that happens in your own realm.

The amulets Yaya Maria prepares as well as all her rituals are handmade by her or people in the Santo’s house.
Yaya Maria taps into the powers of mother earth to collect everything she uses in her rituals.
Yaya Maria collects fresh herbs with the proper ceremonies to ensure we receive the Ashe and powers.
Yaya Maria travels to the islands of the Caribbean regularly to collect additional ingredients not available here in Florida. Amulets preparation rituals take place at different locations as per the instructions of the spirits, is a long process and cannot be completed in one day.

Unless advised by the spirits, Yaya Maria will not give you specific timelines with spiritual work, for example, if she tells you something is going to happen in 7 days, at the 6th day you may get very nervous and fixated with the events expected on the 7th day and with your own negativity and/or actions, you may delay the event developing on the 8th day.
There are way too many factors and unseen forces in the spiritual realm which make timelines insecure and unreliable.

Custom rituals may take from few weeks up to few months to complete, after the customer places the order, if materials need to be sent,  Yaya Maria will consult and set the date for the work after the materials arrive.
It also depends on Yaya Maria’s availability for the month, if Yaya Maria is booked for local ceremonials or initiations, her time will be more limited.
Yaya Maria consults with the spirits to schedule a new ceremonial, the spirits have the last word on the right time to do the work, everything has its time and place in the spiritual world.

Each case is different, everyone has different spiritual needs, influences, obstacles, and challenges, some more complicated than others, therefore custom ritual work is priced accordingly to the individual situation and work involved. You need to schedule a phone consultation for Yaya Maria to look into the details and determine the forces at work before recommending any ritual work.

Yaya Maria strongly recommends her clients not to cast any additional spells or go into psychic readings while she is working on their situation.
When the spirits are working, the energies are changing constantly, untrained workers may take spiritual forces as negative or chaotic and you may receive confusing information.
Yaya Maria does not consult clients while the spiritual work is in progress unless there is an emergency situation that needs immediate attention.

Please do not contact Yaya Maria to request any of the following services:

Make you a millionaire, win the lottery or make money appear in your bank account or your doorsteps.
Make someone who does not know who you are (like a movie star or a complete stranger) love and marry you.
Change your physical appearance, make you look younger, stronger, thinner, lighter, darker, taller, shorter, invisible or make you fly. (No, I can not turn you into a vampire)
Change documents or disappear recorded evidence.
To cast a death spell.
To cast any spell with children involved unless it is a protection spell (Anyone under 21 is considered a child).

The above requests will not be answered.

When Yaya Maria accepts to do any work for you, she also offers you her support and will answer all your questions to the best of her abilities, but you need to understand that Yaya Maria cannot couch your everyday life or make decisions for you.
Yaya Maria cannot answer questions like” “should I call him/her now?” , “will she call me?”, “what does this message mean?”, “what do I say to him/her?”

After you purchase your ritual and services, you will receive instructions via email on how to proceed. If there are items to be mailed, Yaya Maria will provide you the mailing address to send the materials.
Once the materials arrive, Yaya Maria will set the date to start your spiritual work and send you an email with the confirmation dates and instructions.
The spirits may ask you to light a candle or do a simple ceremonial to put your energy and to tune your own spirits to the rituals in progress.
According to the specifics of the services, Yaya Maria may schedule with the moon or other dates.
Some rituals may include an amulet prepared with it, sometimes it is to be sent to you or to be disposed or even buried in certain locations as per the advice of the spirits. If the amulet is to be sent to you, Yaya Maria will mail it once it is ready and will email you the instructions on how to use it to activate the energies within.

Do you work for free? Nothing is free, there is always someone paying for it. Yaya Maria charges for her time and energy doing the work, her knowledge, years of experience and practice.
In order to consult or do a ritual, Yaya Maria must prepare and many times, she needs to clean herself after absorbing your energies, and those cleansings are not free. Initiated priests who come to the rituals are paid for their work, time and effort, it is a matter of respect for their work and their spirits.
Offerings to the spirits and Orishas are not free, we need to purchase supplies, sometimes travel to distant locations, all in search of that energy that will help a situation.

Yaya Maria is am extremely compassionate and sensitive to clients in difficult, painful and challenging situations and understands the anxiety and the feelings behind this question.
Sometimes we are our own worst enemy and often it is hard for us to make the right choices and sacrifices needed to make our lives better.
In any spiritual work, the spirits will bring positive changes, but sometimes they do not just hand you your wish, you must put your own effort, energy, focus, and gratitude in your request.
Spiritual work will not be a substitute or a quick fix to poor choices and a lack of personal responsibility.
Uncontrollable spending habits, laziness, excessive drinking, drug abuse, hurt, harm or abuse your partner until they leave you, then stalk them because you can’t understand why they want nothing to do with you, mistreatment of your children, disrespect of your elders,  just to name a few, these are choices that led you to the situation you are now and unless you start working towards improving and making amendments, no spirit will come to bail you out and fix the mess for you to continue your own destructive behavior.
To blame spirits for your dangerous choices is just another way to refuse responsibility for your own actions.

Yaya Maria reserves the right to decline or terminate services at any time for any reason.
Please do not insist to accept your case. Once the spirits deny taking a case, Yaya Maria can’t go against it.

Consultations

Every consultation is unique; whilst Yaya Maria cannot make all your problems disappear or make your dreams come true, even tell you that it is what is going to happen, most of the times, if the spirits see you dwelling your energies in impossible situations, they will always bring advise about the areas of your life you need to open to make your life better.
Your present is the product of the decisions you made in the past and your future will be the product of the decisions you will make today. Ultimately it is up to you to sort through the information and advice from the spirits to make your own decisions.

Yaya Maria sees her consultations as clearing the layers of an onion, many times she has to clear and release spirits and energies around you before she can get to the bottom of your problems.
But you have to allow her to clear the layers because if you hold down to it, you will not allow the spirits to communicate with Yaya Maria.
In other words, you must be willing and open to receive all messages from the spirits.
Prepare your questions ahead of time, have a pen and paper ready to write notes during the consultation.
Try to be relaxed and comfortable; clear your mind of the worries of the day, clear your heart and will of your own expectations.
Plan for your time accordingly, try to find a place alone and undisturbed. Lunch breaks or driving from/to work are not the best places for consultations.
Do not schedule a consultation for a time you will be under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
Do not expect Yaya Maria to make decisions for you, the spirits offer you advice and provide insights and guidance, but most of the time, they will not tell you what to do next.
Do not ask for lottery numbers or specific health or legal issues.
Do not keep asking the same question expecting a different answer, if you keep asking the same question over and over, you will start receiving conflicting answers.

Yaya Maria will not have the explanation for everything going on in your life and a consultation or ritual spiritual work may not fix your life and make it perfect in one day.

Category: Consultations

Yaya Maria is honest and straightforward, and I will not lie to you.
Yaya Maria has no control over the messages from the spirits. If during a consultation the spirit guides her to another direction; it means that there are other issues more important that need your attention.
For example, if you are trying to help someone else or get a lover back and the spirits guide Yaya Maria to tell you things about your present situation and things you can do to help yourself, it is up to you if you choose to ignore or disregard the message just because you find it unimportant.
Everything revealed to you by the spirits has a reason and it is a power in your hands to make the best use of it.
If you are going through difficult times, be prepared to hear some information about your reality, you may be in the need for some changes in order to get your life back in order.

Yaya Maria gets signs in her shells and applies them to your situation. As a medium, Yaya Maria can see spirits and will transfer you the messages spirits make available to her during the consultation section.

About Santeria and Palo Mayombe

The sacrifice of animals to the Orishas and Spirits is inherent to the practices of Santeria and Palo Mayombe.
The blood sacrifices are offering we give to the spirits to strengthen the powers of their vessels and to call their attention to specific situations, the animals are sacrificed by skilled initiated priests, with knowledge and training to do this work, the meat is eaten after the ceremonies, unless it is a cleansing ritual or the spirits request to be used differently.
In gifts of animals and plants, we honor the Orishas and Spirits, life for life, ashe for ashe, it creates the exchange of energy and brings the ashe of the Orishas and spirits to us.
Not all the rituals and services include or require animal sacrifices, only when the spirits request it and they are specific ceremonies for them. Ceremonials are always done to balance and release any energy from the sacrifice itself.
There is nothing evil in this centuries-old practice and the only negativity that can come from it is when people who do not have any knowledge or insights tend to judge as diabolic or evil what they do not know.

There is no color in magic; the color is in the intentions.
Our everyday life is a debate between the forces of good and evil, positive and negative, life and death; in Yaya Maris’s spiritual work, she uses these forces to find the right balance for every situation.

If you believe this sexist’s discriminatory statement, by all means, do not hire Yaya Maria’s services.
Yaya Maria is a woman, initiated in Palo Mayombe and Santeria and her work and spirits are as powerful as it comes, not because of her sex, but because of the spirits that come and respond to her requests.
There are different levels of initiations in Santeria and Palo Mayombe for female and male priests. We all complement and need each other. The higher initiations are held by male priests. But it all comes down to the quality, strength, knowledge and spiritual development of the practitioner, not the sex.
Yaya Maria respects every priest, its position and the rules of her traditions and will never get into this debate because she finds it disrespectful to the spirits of our ancestors, the Orishas, Mpungus, and God.

First, you need to find a house that will accept you as a Godchild and should be in your geographic area, you need to get to know your Godparents and learn to respect and trust them.
Look for their relationship with their own Godparents and other members of the house, it is a good sign to find houses that stick together with respect. If you are local to the Miami area, make a personal appointment with Yaya Maria and she will be able to guide you. But you need to stay local, Santeria and Palo initiations can not be done online or over the distance, a personal relationship with your Godparents is extremely important and should not be ignored.

 

There is no initiation required to develop your own spiritual gifts and get to know your spirits and guides, to learn about your spirits and how to make your life better.
Yaya Maria can help you at any distance if the spirits allow me to.
It takes years of work, discipline, and dedication, but if you choose that path, the benefits of spiritual enlightenment are immeasurable, but it can not be done in one day or one consultation.

Yaya Maria works with the spirits, spirits cannot harm you or make you do something evil. But some people can do evil things using spirits. Once again, it is not about the practice, it is about the practitioner.

At no point, under any circumstances, any spell, ritual, consultation, ceremonials or amulets sold by Orisha Ashe represent any type of initiation into Santeria and Palo Mayombe priesthoods.

If you believe in it, we respect it, Yaya Maria believes in spiritual development, growth, and learning.
Karma (the way people see it) is used to hide guilt feelings when people believe they compromised their own moral codes, but the truth is that there is not guilt, condemnation, censure or criticism in the spiritual world, only lessons to learn and grow from them.
My godfather (ibae) used to define karma this way: “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”

Santeria and Palo Mayombe are forms of natural shamanistic magic, we work with the powers and the spirits of nature, roots, herbs, minerals, animals and everything mother nature has to bring us.
Santeria and Palo Mayombe are two different practices, different systems, and ceremonials.
Yaya Maria is initiated into Santeria and Palo Mayomber and works closely with her Eguns (Spiritual guides).
Many of her custom works and rituals in Palo Mayombe are sealed by the spirits into spiritual possessions, meaning the spirits use Yaya Maria’s body and complete the work.
