Dominican Vudú Pantheon

Anaisa Pye, Lady of the Pink Flame

The Joyful One, Mistress of Love and Celebration

The Joyful Petition

Anaisa Pye, radiant and joyful one, you who bless the dance and the love that follows it, come to this altar with your laughter. Fill my home with the warmth of celebration. Let me love with a light heart and a clear eye. If there is someone whose heart is turned from me, do not force them — only make me the kind of person worth returning to.

Offered with a glass of pink-coloured drink and a pink candle lit, accompanied by music or song.
