We will collect our customers' wishes in an especially decorated bottle and the owner dressed in white will send this bottle down the Mississippi River. Another custom is offerings of white roses presented to Yemanja. In honor of Her, our lady patrons will receive a white rose which symbolizes “Luck and Best Wishes”. All will be documented by photos posted our website.
