Esu, Esu Odara, Esu lanlu ogirioko.
Okunrin ori ita. A jo langa langa lalu. A rin lanja lanja lalu.
Ode ibi ija de mole. Ija ni otaru ba d'ele ife. To fi de omo won.
Oro Esu to to to akoni. Ao fi ida re lale.
Esu ma se mi o. Esu ma se mi o. Esu ma se mi o.
Omo elomiran ni ko lo se. Pa ado asubi da. No ado asure si wa.
Ase.

my spiritual mother’s revamped her website, and i love it!
tua NTR…it’s a new day…
Peace & Blessings!
I know I’ve been doing more image and inspiration sharing than talking about the wonders of healing work, but there’s a good reason!Earlier this month, I was blessed with the honor of becoming a Kemetic initiate through the lineage of Akeru NuAfrakan Ministries, also known as the Shrine of Akeru. With this, I was also initiated as a Nganga in the tradition of the Shona people of Zimbabwe.
I consider myself a perpetual student; there is still much to learn, and this is just one step of many. However, my spiritual initiations have enhanced and deepened my experiences with Reiki, and also add a new level to my healing practice.
As always, Feel free to contact me if you have questions, want to book a session, or just to introduce yourself.
Ankh, Udja, Seneb!

wade in the water…

the best gift i ever gave myself was surrendering to my intuition.
i freely admit that i don’t always (consciously) know why do the things i do. i follow hunches, pray on a whim, pick up pebbles that catch my eye.
i’ll stop in my tracks for that “still, small voice”.
i’ll sometimes have a candle, gemstone, or knick knack for months before i completely understand why.
but it always works out. there’s always a reason, always a blessing.
for that, i am grateful.

aganju and sango
it’s said that aganju—the volcanic orisa—is the father of sango (fire, lightning).
sango’s mother is yemonja—the ocean.
Roots… I see so many similarities between this Misa and the Ring Shout traditions of the African American south, Hatian Vodun & Shango Baptist ceremony
The Ocha house I came out of was one that veered more towards the Nigerian way of doing things. However the way we cultivated egun/ancestors reflected our Spanish Afro-Carribean Espirtismo inheritances. Eventually our misas became a bit less “old school”. Makes me nostalgic about a time in my life when i was always having to raid the stores for white flowers and cigars nearly every other weekend.
Espiritismo can be really tough at times but so good for keeping your head on straight and able to handle life and not be handled by it…
mucho ache!
wow….that DOES look like a ring shout…

H2O seeks to explore and engage in truthful dialogue regarding human life, and WATER is the conduit. Water impacts every aspect of our existence: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In today’s connected world experience, access to information is almost limitless. Let us share our insight, broaden the spectrum of understanding, so that we can move forward enlightened, hopeful and willing to participate in all human affairs.
covering the head or center of consciousness (referred to as ori in ifa), is quite common—for men and women, and particularly for priests and other spiritual devotees.
when it comes to women, us-ians tend to think it’s all related to outdated standards of “modesty”, but the stories can go much deeper than that…
It’s funny how it’s always the Muslim woman who is “oppressed”
And when you just take Muslim headcoverings you’ll notice that they’re pretty diverse too!
