Legba wanted to give a message to whoever finds this.

All of my spirits have been making me give or throw things away to refresh and give out certain energies. Don’t be afraid to give or throw anything out when you’re called to.

He also said “study the greats;” this just isn’t “leaders” of the spiritual community. This could be anything.

“No, don’t be easily lead or mislead. Do not low vibrationally repurpose or low vibrationally copy, but be very inspired.”

I hope you guys are doing welllllll. Much love.

[lawleitleerskov]

Remember even in the darkest times you are never alone

The spirits, your ancestors, and the Orishas themselves walk beside you

With them by your side nothing can block your path for long

Florida Water Story In The New Orleans Voodoo Tradition.

This is a story I heard about Florida Water in New Orleans Voodoo that I wanted to share my readers.

There was a time during a ceremony when the spirit were at a low point and wasn't enjoying the ceremony. The drummers drummed and the dancers danced and the songs were song and all were doing their best to entice the spirit to come forth to make an appearance. As much as they had tried the spirit was slow and sluggish and was non-responsive to what they saw. They weren't into it. People cried and pleaded and offerings were made to Ellegua/Papa Legba but none were answered.

Then a dancer that had giving her all to this ceremony, stumbled and fell onto a shelf and a bottle of Florida Water had fell and shattered into the floor, spraying it's aroma all across the surface of the floor, some landing on Legba’s Veve. (symbol) in that moment everything changed. The very air in the room had changed and was brand new energy flowing and Legba/Ellegua found his horse. From that point on the ceremony had changed for the better as new energy was infused with Legba he became refreshed, happier and more lively, which made his appearance that much better by bringing with him a host of other Spirits to see to the needs of the practitioners and their families.

Hope you all enjoyed this story..

Welp

Currently watching a Hougan, A Baba, A Mambo, a Madrina and Tata battle it out if Papa Legba and Ellegua are the same.

All because this random Santero said the forbidden thing in the group chat and said yes, they were.

I mean yes, we all do see the parallels but this santero just said it boldly, without fear and now all hell has broken loose.

Letters from Osun-Oxum continuation of Communication Discourse Review of The University Scholars by Azurite

Im coming to you all with a requested input from the Osun-Osogbo Festival 2023. I have learned of Osun from multiple sources, one of many I paid no mind to due to the exploitative nature of these messengers. I am now working with Osun out of respect for the healing we have done collectively. We have a mutually beneficial relationship similar to how my relationship with Esu-Exu, and Ellegua started in Atlanta many years ago. We found a "scholarly" article written by a professor at a university in Texas named Joni L. Jones

and used this for a Communication Research assignment last semester as a way to make peace with xenophobia and exploitation of Osun's divine blessings by many indiviuals throughout higher education across the globe. We first were inspired by this work due to an article by a Nigerian Professor named Ahmed O. Adesanya, PhD whom wrote about Artifactual Code and non-verbal communication through the intricate beadwork in Yoruba culture. The PDF Link is Below.

A article that changed my lense of spiritual practice forever. I thought I can be a scholar and write about the things I enjoy such as beadwork and spirituality. Anyways... I decided to go on YouTube and look up the Osun-Osogbo Festival and watched a video; in this video a statue was shown that caught my eye and it would not let me forget about it. I immediately began to look up this statue and the ancestor in which this statue was of the first traditional ruler (1st Ataoja of Osogbo) in 1670 and ruled for a period of 90 years until his death in 1760, and he was mentioned as Larooye which happens to be a salutation to Exu in Brazilian Umbanda practices. This particular video with participants of the Osun-Osogbo Festival had interviews of people an one of our Nigerian professors from last semester got her undergraduate degree in Osun State. We aren't a fan of the woman she was very xenophobic and her energy made my nerve ending stand on edge, but we did learn a valuable lesson from her an that was you do not have to be born in Nigeria to have a connection with the ancestors of nigeria. Also Osun doesn't only work with people in Nigeria. Now I will always respect those born in the lands of the orixá but I also knew that for some reason Osun and many other Orixá chose me to tell their stories. I was chosen to get the truth out while also restoring the medicine to their chosen heirs that have been pimped out by colonizers and babalaôs for a long time. Osun despises one thing and that is kidnapping, slavery, pimp culture, and exploitation in all its forms.

If we look at the corruption of the Nigerian government and all its scandals in isolation grants Osun a whole lot to be angry about. People give this docile and only sweet persona of Osun, the way she has taught me an showed up is far from docile. Osun does not play about her space and is a stickler on boundaries. Osun will go to war for her loved ones and has been a healer of wounds new an old regarding human trafficking, slavery, and kidnapping. Osun in our opinion is one if not the most powerful orixá of them all. The concepts to take from this Hood Scholar Article is to use your knowledge of Yoruba & Igbo to dissect the Osun Festival as it stands today. It also is a challenge of why aren't more of the traditional leaders that statues still stand in the cities across nigeria not known more about to the devotees of Osun. Osun has become a global superstar over the last 10 years and very little is known about her true essence, what she stands for, and how she like to be treated. If you are going to call yourself a priest or priestess shouldn't you at least know the language of the lands in which Osun story originates ? The wealth and healing of Osun should be flooding the gates of Brazil, Nigeria, and the lives of her loved ones why is it being exploited for the pleasure of corrupted elites ? Im going to leave these questions there until next time. Its your homegirl Azurite and this is a Trapppland Exclsuive. Please make sure you cite me if you use my wisdom and any others of the scholars in your content. Thanks Osun for all you do, I love you -Azurite

No matter how big or small the apartment was growing up, no home felt like home until the family altar was set up and Elegua installed behind the front door.

The keeper of the crossroads and the opener of paths, the child who is also an old man is one of the most important orisha of Santeria. Always invoked first and never to be crossed.
