RIP LANCE REDDICK. (1962-2023)

No matter your fandom, or your first introduction to Lance Reddick - he was an incredibly talented actor, self admitted amateur gamer, loved comedy and was consistently open to new experiences in a way that's impressive.

We weren't ready to lose him, and I hope he's at peace.

Feel free to add more tags and gifs - I haven't even scratched the surface and I'm sure many of us would love to find new places he's waiting for us in cyberspace.

You may resonate with one of the main characters, Huey Freeman. There are other main characters, of course, but Huey is indeed the most developed and evolved character. He is smart and free-minded. He always prioritized harsh truths, but no one really took him seriously.

I’ve come to understand that people like Huey are a walking a blessings and test. If you listen to him, that’s amazing, but if you don’t… you just failed a test of the cosmos.

Remember, just because someone degrades your wisdom or doesn’t listen, doesn’t mean you do not hold value.

Those people taking part in the degradation of genuine knowledge are NOT high vibrational enough to perceive a prophet or prophetess; this is them failing their test of experiencing “YOU.”

• I’m seeing Benson from Regular show. I’m hearing Summer Time Loving from the show as well: https://youtu.be/ohHHCzb7Hko?si=9LWzoBxcYp2zOZp

You have to understand that you do not know what love really is. Your ideas of love are misconstrued and unbalanced. Pray about this and manifest clarity, wisdom, and knowledge about this subject.

Love isn’t all like the movies. Everyone’s love is not all the same. Love is not a monolith and it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, although we should never settle for “low vibrational lessers.” Your ideas and perceptions of sunshine and rainbows are even all wrong.

Take a deep breath, really adjust your focus, and be open to your ideology of love changing. You think you’re a free-spirited and flowy person, but you’re actually very rigid, narrow-minded, and stiff. You have so many potential paths of greatness you’re ignoring because all you care about is this odd brainwashed version of “love.”

You’re meant to travel, but please understand you must validate the truth that not every place is meant for everyone. Not every energy of a certain location is meant to be experienced by you. Maybe you’re meant to get into Astrocartography. My astrology services are private currently and quite expensive because it covers a full year of assistance, phone calls, readings, magick, etc. If youre interested in that, let me know.

Do not just jump on the hype of “I haveee to move to this place,” just because someone else said it was “fun” or “lit.” Maybe it was very enjoyable for them, but it could actually be a place where YOU experience bad luck and even danger.

Plan for travel properly and try not to get influenced by “low vibrational hype” or hype that simply has nothing to do with you and where you’re meant to go and be.

Papa Legba, god of crossroads in Vodou, and emissary between the gods and man, he is also guardian of the poto mitan, the central pole in the place of worship, which acts as a channel through which the gods may descend and temporarily possess the faithful during ceremonies.

Okay but as someone who works with papa legba every day seeing alastor use his symbol AND dress in his colors has me questioning a LOT OF THINGS OKAY.

He probably made a deal with him at the crossroads to be a radio star and become powerful.

But he also uses other vees so he's definitely done his research.

But I know first hand papa legba helps with getting people out of bad situations so I wonder if he shadow has anything to do with it,after all his shadow saved his life from Adam.

Mysteries Of The Bayou: Cajun Folklore And Legends

Ah, settle in, dear ones, as we embark on a journey through the mystique of the bayou, where whispers of Cajun folklore and legends weave tales as enchanting as Spanish moss draping the cypress trees.

The Rougarou Let me share the tale of the Rougarou, a creature of the night with a taste for mischief. As the moonlight dances on the bayou waters, locals speak of this shape-shifting beast – a reminder to keep the sacred traditions alive and be cautious when venturing into the unknown.

The Feu Follet Look closely on a moonlit night, and you might glimpse the Feu Follet, the mischievous "will-o'-the-wisp" leading wanderers astray. Cajun storytellers say these elusive lights are spirits guiding lost souls, adding a touch of magic to our bayou nights.

The Legend of Evangeline In the heart of Cajun history, there's the tragic tale of Evangeline, separated from her love during the Acadian exile. Her spirit is said to linger in the shadows, seeking her lost Gabriel along the moss-covered paths of the bayou.

Papa Legba  Among the whispers of the bayou, the voodoo spirit Papa Legba guards the crossroads, offering guidance and challenges to those seeking mystical wisdom. His presence is a reminder of the rich spiritual tapestry woven into our Cajun heritage.

The Ghostly Isleños Travel to the haunting swamps, and you might hear the echoes of the Ghostly Isleños, Spanish settlers who mysteriously disappeared. Some say their spirits still linger, casting a spectral presence upon the bayou's edge.

The Sacrament of the Gris-Gris Deep in the bayou, crafting Gris-Gris bags is a mystical art. Passed down through generations, these enchanted pouches are said to bring protection, luck, and even love to those who carry them.

As the night settles over the bayou, these stories come alive, mingling with the sounds of crickets and the distant call of an owl. Our Cajun folklore, rich and deep-rooted, whispers through the moss-laden trees, inviting us to embrace the mysteries that dance on the edge of our vibrant culture. 

Next time you find yourself by the bayou, listen closely – for it might just share secrets and tales of our Cajun ancestors, keeping the spirit of Louisiana alive in every rustle of the leaves and every ripple on the water. 

Gather ‘Round The Campfire

Imagine the crackling flames of a bayou campfire casting dancing shadows as we gather to unravel the Mysteries of the Bayou. To accompany these tales, let us weave a tapestry of campfire activities and comforting Cajun delights, creating an enchanting evening under the Louisiana stars!

Campfire Activities

Bonfire Storytelling Circle Gather 'round the bonfire, my darlings, and let the bayou come alive with tales of voodoo queens, haunted swamps, and friendly spirits. Everyone can share their favorite Cajun folklore or ghost story, adding to the night's mystique.

Cajun Campfire Sing-Along Enliven the atmosphere with the lively tunes of Cajun music. Bring out the accordion or play some zydeco favorites. Let the rhythm of the bayou set the tone for our storytelling, making it a musical journey into the heart of our culture.

Bayou Night Walk Take a lantern-lit stroll along the bayou's edge, allowing the mysterious sounds of the night and the rustling of Spanish moss to envelop us. It's a chance to feel the heartbeat of the bayou and connect with the spirits that dwell within its depths.

Cajun Constellation Spotting Look up, my loves, and marvel at the celestial wonders above. Cajun constellations like the Rougarou or the Alligator Queen can be spotted in the Louisiana night sky. Share stories of these cosmic characters and let the stars weave their own tales.

Comfort Foods 'Round The Campfire

Gumbo by Moonlight Serve up steaming bowls of gumbo, its rich aroma mingling with the night air. Gumbo by moonlight, with the flickering flames as our only light, adds a touch of magic to our Cajun feast.

Cajun Sausage and Boudin Skewers Thread Cajun sausages and boudin onto skewers and roast them over the campfire. The smoky flavors and the crisp night air create a culinary experience as delightful as the tales we share.

Beignet Bonanza Transform the campfire into a makeshift Café du Monde with a beignet bonanza. These fluffy, powdered sugar-dusted treats are the perfect sweet indulgence under the stars.

Cajun Hot Chocolate Warm our souls with Cajun hot chocolate infused with a hint of cayenne for a spicy twist. Sip it slowly as we listen to the crackling fire and the whispers of the bayou.

Mossy Oak Cajun Popcorn Popcorn seasoned with Cajun spices and served in mossy oak bowls adds a touch of rustic charm to our campfire festivities. It's a crunchy, flavorful treat to munch on between our mystical tales.

Grandma Marie’s Louisiana Kitchen participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.

Let’s embrace the magic of the bayou under the starlit sky. With storytelling, music, and comforting Cajun delights, our campfire becomes a portal to the enchanting world of Cajun folklore and legends.

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.
