Someone in my DMs asked me, "How can someone free themselves when they don't know who exactly they are? Where they belong to? What exactly is their purpose?"

This is a thread.
Whenever we are thrown into the vortex of change, it slashes at our bones and demands something from us in order to leave its vacuum. This is what many people have been experiencing these past few weeks. This has triggered folks to be asking themselves the big questions.
The big philosophical questions such as, "Who am I?" and "What do I do, now?" Have been swimming through the minds of many. But, when we ask ourselves those questions--we will simply go around in circles. Why? Because the self is always changing and shedding its skin.

A gentle reminder to take a spiritual bath if you’ve been feeling anxious. Spirit is moving.
And by spiritual bath, I mean brewing up up some dried herbs (or ripping apart fresh ones) in some water, refrigerate to cool, and pouring it over yourself like a shower while you pray and massage the water deeper into your skin.

Please remember your spiritual hygiene.
If you live in a highly-populated city, a public commuter, work in healthcare or any field that involves closer interactions with others, or generally spiritually sensitive—you cannot afford to be out here covered in energetic funk. Please protect yourself, spiritually.

A thread of Haitian Artists who incorporate Vodou into their works.

Maitresse Erzulie, Hector Hyppolite 1945-48
Hector Hyppolite was a third-generation houngan (Vodou priest) who taught himself how to paint. His paintings reflect his experiences in the tradition, in addition to his spiritual knowledge.

Works shown:
“The Congo Queen”
“Poisson A Tete De Femme”
“Sacrifice of the Cock”
Two Purple Lwas, Levoy Exil, 1990

The relationship between Ogun and Osun teaches us that you have the right to release yourself of any connection that has expired. Especially when respect is no longer present.
Ogun and Osun were together for a while. Ogun found Osun beautiful and Osun had great love for Ogun.

However their dynamic quickly crumbled when Osun was trying to conceive children. Osun struggled with fertility issues for most of her life and it impacted her relationship.
While time passed without a baby, Ogun started to get impatient. And instead of trying to understand, his impatience bred disrespect.

He assumed Osun was lying about her fertility issues, sabotaging her own pregnancy, pedaling rumors to the village and slandering her name.

Actually, it’s not un-ethical to divine on someone and scope out their intentions before they have access to you.

Please ask your ancestors before you invite someone into your home, let alone your life. Doing so helps you avoid unnecessary chaos.
New Age Spirituality drops the ball on protection (amongst other things) by pedaling this concept to others. It does nothing but make you vulnerable and unsafe.

Esp. if you’re someone who constantly struggles with two-faced friends and lovers. Please divine more.
Priests, conjurers, and other seasoned practitioners of indigenous traditions will teach you that you should be *consistently* divining. Especially whenever you’re interacting with others.

Why assume or listen to gossip when you can get the truth yourself?

I don’t mean to be that person, but a spiritual bath is one of the smartest spiritual technology that our ancestors gave us to eradicate foreign energy and recenter ourselves.

Make sure you take one before the New Year and wash the grief off.
The simple combination of ewe (herbs), omi tutu (cool water), and prayer is sometimes all you need to free yourself of burdening energy.

When the water touches your skin and washes you clean, you’ll see that most of the residue wasn’t even yours to begin with.
Went outside of your house and felt some type of way? Time for a bath. Dissociating when you look in the mirror? A bath. Feeling tense and overwhelmed? A bath. Folks sending you negative energy? A bath. Trying to bring in abundance? A bath.

Whew. A bath, a bath, a BATH.
