I see you, I hear you, I am you.. my mother is telling me to see her. there is much to find in these times.

my mission is stronger it is so divine.....

there is something pulling speed so I know its time.

my mother awaits me so I take this moment to shine.

What I'm Not

Photo: Me, 1997 Kirlian photo. It was said that my kind of photo was on the rare side because of the varying shades of blue, and the four beings (muertos or guides?) surrounding me like they are. The heart area was also of interest to the photographer. They said that I'm a healer. Actually, yes, I heal with herbs.

Now, to the post in question. I'm going to say what I'm not & what I am.

I'm not initiated into ANY religion.

I have NO religion.

Therefore, I'm not a Palera, a Santera, in Isese, Yoruba, or Ifa.

I'm not a pagan.

I'm not any form of Satanist.

And I'm not a Demonolator. That was my one initiation.

****************************

I AM a necromancer & necrosopher. Number one identification.

My spiritual practice, I coined myself is Muerteria. It means "deathly" in Spanish.

Yes! I have a muerto, he's very real, and makes sure everyone knows. His name is Rodolfo and he stays 35 forever.

I do venerate several Orisas. My mother's Ochun & Yemanja, Obatala & a few others.

I am a dirty, mean old Witch, just Witch. Because I started as a Witch over 30 years ago. God, I'm fucking old.

Oh yes, I'm a fish popsicle too. Lol! 🐟

There. Queries?

Memento Mori! 💖💀💖

LOOKISM mini-review: Ye-Na’s mom

I've been reading recent LOOKISM chapters. Janghyun arc (localized “Jang Eli” in English) was such a long arc that almost bored me and made me miss Hyungseok (localized “Daniel”) and his gang. To be honest, I found Janghyun’s personality & overly cool attitude boring, not to mention of how his gang worshiped him. I also don’t give a crap about the love triangle (or square?) shit, however, one thing that kept me reading this arc was my curiosity about how Yena (Yenna) was made. What kind of teen love stories that made Janghyun the youngest father in this webtoon?

What’s up with this baby’s mom?

So, the mom was Hye-Eun (localized “Heather”), she was Serim’s friend (that Serim (localized “Sally”) regretfully introduced her to Janghyun). 12 chapters later we finally had this scene:

That was very brief.

And then, the confirmation that baby’s on the way:

This accidental conception ruined their relationship (thanks for intervention by Ochun (localized “Olly”) and finally both parties confronted each other (and Hye-Eun’s still very slim):

And long story short (still in the same chapter), Hye-Eun had a car accident (that somehow confused me) which might have caused her death(?).

Then the next chapter, Yena was already born. I wonder why is it going too fast? Did King Crimson just erased the time? I mean, when exactly Hye-Eun gave birth to her?

Later, Jong Gun explained that a woman can hide her pregnancy if she really needs to do it (I mean, wtf she wasn’t showing at all??).

I’m not sure how I should react, but this actually made me feel that the revelation of Hye-Eun as Yena’s mom felt… unreal (and hard to believe).

That… WTF LOOKISM?? Why you were so reluctant to show heavily pregnant women? They’re beautiful!!

Janghyun, you were being unfair…

Also, I don’t really like how Janghyun alienated Ochun in his gang because of Ochun’s seemingly normal life, that he had family.

But doesn't he realize that Hye-Eun belong to the same group as Ochun?

She was living a nice normal life, so nice that even Serim might had envied her. Yet Janghyun did not bother to shoo her away because he was so in love with her.

Ochun’s life looked normal outside, but actually he was also abused, although not as bad as Janghyun and in a different way. He was a poor child who is burdened by the expectations of his parents who were too high. I don’t know about Hye-Eun’s life because it was not really shown, but seems like it was quite happy. Being the daughter of lawyers, she had strong sense of justice, kinda reminds me of Mijin. Although based on her mother’s scenes, perhaps her parents were a bit overprotective, even though her father was never seen or mentioned. Her mom also took care of her well enough to pack her meal.

Not that I defended Ochun, he is such a toxic asshole that needs to be rid from HOSTEL. But I felt sympathy for him at that time because I also knew what it was like to be left out by a group of friends.

Though I just realized that H.O.S.T.E.L did not actually include Hye-Eun, it is Hyun->Oneseok(Wonseok)->Serim->Taeng-goo-> Eun-goo->Lion. But Janghyun still let her to hang out with them yet care enough to tell Ochun gtfo, because Hye-Eun was their VVIP and Ochun was not.

In the end, Serim was right that she regretted having introduced Ochun and Hye-Eun to her new sweet familial group. Even Lion knows who the true members of H.O.S.T.E.L are.

Spilling Secrets

To care! Or! Not! to care!!!!!

At the risk of getting in trouble or even just doing something to be seen. I shall express with you some of my feelings. They may be stupid.. Dark, Valid and even like Why!? yes I can quantify (why ) as a feeling.

I'm on my 2nd deployment in Africa this time with some people I never even met before this experience. It's not a bad one. But! it's not a great one either. In all real honestly I have nothing to complain about. One of the perks about being a social outlier is that you have a lot of alone time and people don’t bother to look for you unless you have a specific job and they need you to perform said job.

Here! in Africa near the horn! Im here to perform my duties as a cook. But! since i'm overseas they have me as a defac (dining facility) manager. So I graciously over see the food that comes in and where it goes and how it gets consumed. When I first arrived here in Africa, I was bright eyed and bushy tailed. Thrilled to be in the mother land. Although coming here I knew it would be all business and no play. and Yes! It has been all business with no fucking PLAY!

I have reached my 3rd month technically. And I'm not too sure how I can go about this experience any longer. People pass comments, or avoid eye contact with me. Talk at me and not to me. And I'm expected to just GO! With it. It's so fucking annoying and petty. That as an adult when you explain this situation to another adult. And you (HEAR) yourself explain what you feel and what you’re going through, you sound insecure, childish and non adult.

Which frustrates me because all I do is feel as if i'm supposed to be the bigger person. Supposed to walk away or shut up, while nothing happens to them! And this, this is a feeling I have been feeling all my life.

These feelings come from a place of not being properly seen or even appreciated! this makes me think about the scene on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where Xander Harris is flipping over tables in the lunch room because he had seen the lunch lady put rat poison in the food, the students were eating. Then out of no where. Buffy comes in and stops her from butchering Xander. however the only thing the lunch lady can say for herself is "Verman " To me even before becoming a cook or an adult and working in the hospitality industry. I felt how that actress delivered her lines. As if she too had been over looked somewhere in her life. Where she just wanted good company and wanted people to appreciate what services she provides. I'm not saying i'm crazy or that I'll ever do that. I would just quit!!!

As a cook, appreciation to me looks like. Not giving me a hard time when I fuck up! Helping me out when I slow down. Making some small talk with me about something I did for you when I didn’t have to. My biggest one, is, even if you don’t like some thing I did or do, politely address it and don’t cause a scene. Every now and then please understand that there's a lot of things that go into making sure that your one plate of food, you experience. Reaches a standard and a level that suites everyone. Not just you!

One of the biggest things people complain about to me here is that I'm always doing something fancy!.........Fancy? They throw out mediocre ideas as if they are appealing to me or to the whole group. like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or something else. Like hotdogs. Just! hotdogs. We have a mixed group of people. Which I have to say! Yes! Thank you! Yemaya! Ochun! ha ha ha!!!! Because it's one thing to be the only GAY in the group to but! To be the only person who is not white! Good Goddess! That is something like no other!

But! for the most part, people here, the majority are white. So! that can explain why some of the food ideas are very simple. Like the other day someone asked me to not make anymore curry for a whole week. I just stared at them and glared in "Gay disapproval" it's probably not a thing. but! I'ma make it so!

One of the things I have to fight myself with while being here is my worth. As a city guy I would watch these tv shows about how the outlier felt alone and why thy didn’t just shake things up and how they wanted to kill themselves because they are locked in to a sub culture that did not value, appreciate or covet them. The same way the others are! I too have been feeling this way. I mean i'm not going to create a whole 13 reasons why about how grown men ignore me and subconsciously bully me. But! it has crossed my mind. I often find refuge in the space I sleep. I do my watercolor paintings and try my best to keep to myself. I am aware that I don’t think like everyone else. I actually came across something that I resinate with. It's called being Nuro-Divergent. From what I read about it. I vibe with it and it explains my whole life. I bring up not thinking like others because at time when in conversation. I just don’t fit into hetro-normative concepts. I either over or under deliver. if you clicked on the links I have provided, for me they are not the best! examples. I do take issues with some of there perspectives. but the overall point is there.

So there must be one question answered because some of you who are reading this must be asking this. If not! then! I asked this of myself as well... "Why did you become a soldier!?" and the quick simple answer is! Well...... I want them to pay for my medical education.

Even that I'm starting to reconsider. Is this the life I want to live. A life thats very similar to how I'm living now. Do I still want to be a soldier? should I be an airmen? Just so many things crossing my mind. But! back on to this whole 13 reasons why type thing. No! I do not want to un-alive myself. And No! I have not tried. I whole heartedly think its the malaria a pills they gave me. There are many side effects. I can say that this one started around the time of me taking them. So I stopped. But the medic bitched at me so I started taking them again. And to tell the army somethings is a really bad idea. It can get you sent home so I rather deal with them on my own. I really do believe I can’t trust anyone. And no one cares.

Okay, ok, ok, sooooooo the whole secret spilling was not jaw dropping as I intended it to be. However! It felt great to get it out! I'm starting to feel very sleepy and it’s 03:22 here. and I have to be up in 1 hour for work! (gay sigh!) why me! until next time my sunshines.

My ocean is a lair

A portal of mysteries

Hidden motions

You can’t see

Dark in the morning

And petrifying in the night

I do not abide

I make love with my own tides

I will drown him

And these waves

So make sure you don’t

Misbehave

Craving for my affection

Mama is coming

Don’t forget to give me

My praise

I have an extremely busy week ahead, so we decided to to a special offering today to our beloved Mothers Yemaya and Ochun, whose feast is celebrated on September 7 and 8. I was given a marvellous set of Orisha statues by a happy customer last week, and I was eager to start including them on my altars; this was a wonderful opportunity.

I am not disclosing the details of the offering, and actually what you see here is only a part of it, but when it comes to our beautiful Mamas, only the sweetest and most delicate things from our kitchen, our apothecary, and our garden will do.

They are life, they are love, they are our origin and our destination, they are passion, motherhood, creativity, abundance, and everything good that life has to offer. For them, nothing is too good!

Let me add a reminder that if you wanted readings or spellwork served this week, today it would be the perfect day to purchase them, before I run out of slots for the week. With the Mano Poderosa Ritual happening on Friday, there are only a few left!

Oshun is the Yorùbá Orisha (Deity) of the sweet or fresh waters (as opposed to the salt waters of Yemaya). She is widely loved, as She is known for healing the sick and bringing fertility and prosperity, and She especially watches over the poor and brings them what they need. As Orisha of love, Oshun is represented as a beautiful, charming and coquettish young woman. In some tales She is said to be a mermaid, with a fish's tail. The Yorùbá clans inhabit parts of western central Africa, in present-day Nigeria. Oshun is the Goddess of the river of the same name, and She is especially worshipped in river-towns. During Her yearly festival, She is said to choose one or more women dancers to descend into (much like participants in Vodou ceremonies may be "mounted" or "possessed" by a Lwa). These women then take new names in honor of Oshun and are thereafter consulted as healers. Oshun was taught divination with cowrie shells by Obatala, the first of the created Orishas, and then She brought the teaching to humans. She was at one time the wife of Shango, the Orisha of storms, as was Oya, the Orisha of the winds and tempests. Oshun is also said to be the mother of the birds or fishes. With the African diaspora, Oshun was brought to the Americas, and adopted into the pantheons that branched out of the African traditions. In the Brazilian religion of Candomblé, which retains close ties with the Yorùbá religion, as well as in Cuban Santeriá, She is called Oxum. In Haitian Vodou She is an inspiration for Erzulie or Ezili, also a Deity of water and love. Oshun, like the other Orishas, has a number associated with Her—five; a color—yellow or amber; and a metal—gold or bronze. The peacock and the vulture are sacred to Her. Offerings to Oshun include sweet things such as honey, mead, white wine, oranges, sweets, or pumpkins, as well as perfume. Oshun in a reading indicates sweetness and good cheer, beauty and flowing joy. Alternate spellings: Oxun, Osun, Oshoun, Oxum, Ochun. Titles: Oshun Ana, of luxury and love; Oshun Telargo, as the modest one; Oshun Yeye Moro, as the coquette; Oshun Yeye Kari, "Mother of Sweetness"- Travana King https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5MPGCDpyoK0JEuxQ-EjP6Oyqxva2YKAKtGLY0/?igshid=qax6ig0a87rm
