HOODOO HERITAGE MONTH OCTOBER 1-31st

🕯️🕯️🕯️

I’ve been meaning to show off at least one of our fantastic entirely handmade Haitian Vodou flags, also known as Drapo, but it was too difficult to chose just one. And so, take a gander all of the ones we currently have! Haitian Vodou flags are displayed on or near altars. In religious ceremonies, processions carry the flags into sacred spaces, and worshippers may wear them over their shoulders as they are joined together with the loa, or spirits. Truly an art-form, flag makers hand stitch each sequin to the fabric, after tracing out their design, and often anchoring it with a seed bead in its center. Follow the link in our profile to take a closer look!

A peaceful soft Saturday.

Activate abundance.

Rest in peace and harmony.

Naptime with my Raiyu Nandi, contemplating on my next moves.

Ogou is will-power which expresses the pure energy of the life force. Will-power is that psychological function closest to the core of any human being, the Self, and an act of will is the purest act of the Self. Those who walk with Ogou are most strongly identified with their highest Self when they are healthy, and with their Ego when they are unhealthy.

The whole escort of Ogou are Lwa of pure affirmation. Of all the Lwa, they most successfully convey the energy of... Subscribe to Vodou Renaissance Instagram to read the rest of this caption.

🏴 🗝 • @vodou.renaissance Legba Petwo “Just as the Rada ritual begins by asking Legba (leg-BA) to open the gate to the other Lwa, we invoke Legba again, to open the door to Petwo. Whereas Legba in the Rada rite is an old man, Legba Petwo is generally depicted as a younger man, controlling the crossroads between the spiritual world and the physical world. Instead of Saint Lazarus, the Petwo version of Legba is most often depicted by Saint Peter, dressed in red and holding two keys next to a crowing rooster.” Excerpt from the book: "Haitian Vodou: An Introduction to Haiti's Indigenous Spiritual Tradition" by Mambo Chita Tann (@mambochitatann) Since Legba essentially rules communication and the gate, everyone has him [as opposed to other Lwa, who either walk with individuals or not]. He is one of the Lwa who shows up most often for people who are either new to vodou or whom the Lwa are trying to have come join the community because of this. If someone wants to be involved with vodou, Legba–along with ancestors–is the Lwa to pray to so that he opens the gates for that to happen and brings the opportunities to the surface, if vodou is where that person is meant to be. Anyone can offer prayers to him and light a white candle for his guidance. Beyond his gatekeeper duties, Legba is also a bit of a trickster but not really in a ‘ha ha funny’ sort of way. Most of his ‘tricks’ involve learning hard lessons in rather swift and potentially uncomfortable ways, rather than making you, or perhaps anyone but him, laugh. He can also be notoriously temperamental and easily offended. Don’t piss off Legba. He can work fast when he wants to, but when he is upset/offended/angry? He moves like lightening. When he slams the gate shut, it stays shut until he decides to open it again, if he does at all. No Lwa will cross him when he decides that things are not right, and he can be hard to appease if the offense is serious. #vodou #voodoo #ritual #haitianvodou #haitianvoodoo #spirituality #tradition #africanspirituality #art #haitianart #haiti (at AYITI) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjoNA0BrcO5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2 hour Sunday spiritism & sanse ceremony… spiritual work of that magnitude always take a lot out of me. But after I eat and drink and lay down to sleep, I feel energised and invigorated. Pulses of pure creative inspiration pour through my attempts to surrender into sleep. I love my protective patron spirits 💕✨ #altar #magick #spiritism #mamiwata #witchcraft #voudou #sanse #lasirena #spiritist #stmartha #santamarta #ayidawedo #21commissions #haitianvodou #lwa #dominadora #goddessspirituality ##vodoun spiritualpath #priestessofthesea #priestess #highpriestess #witchesofinstagram #goddessenergy #divinefeminine #templeofrebellion https://www.instagram.com/p/CkVwad0SOHf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Within the psyche of advanced Vodou initiates, love and wisdom are virtually inseparable. Because they love, they become wise; because they are wise, they encounter all beings with love. There can be no true wisdom without love, and no love is perfectly expressed unless wisdom is its guide. That loving-wisdom is Grann Ayizan; she is the first Manbo (Vodou priestess) and the patroness of initiation alongside her husband Papa Loko. She is a teacher and guardian of esoteric Vodou wisdom and one of the most ancient Lwa. She is the Sophia of the Greeks, and the basis for the word “philosophy” from philo(love) and Sophia (wisdom)—lover of wisdom.

From one point of view, wisdom is knowing with heart, and love, a kind of intimate understanding based upon unconditional positivity towards all that is best in whomever or whatever is loved. But they are really two aspects of the same energy: loving wisdom. This energy is found, potentially, in all human beings, and is certainly not limited to Vodou initiates, but the deeper (or higher) one goes into Vodou initiation, the more they can express that love-wisdom most naturally and spontaneously. In other words, the higher a Manbo climbs the poto mitan, the easier it is to channel Grann Ayizan.
