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.
Constantly absorbing energy will affect many things in your life, your mental wellness being one of them. Those who are spiritually sensitive especially absorb the energetic state of the world without intention. Nothing is wrong with you. Spirit is just moving. Wash yourself off!
Hop into some whites and wash yourself off with cool water if you’re unable to get your hands on some herbs. This feeling will soon pass. I love you 💛

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

Maitresse Erzulie, Hector Hyppolite 1945-48

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.

A lot of what envy is, is just misguided inspiration. If you learn to catch yourself when it begins, you have the capability to successfully turn that feeling around without creating inner resentment.
My last initiation into an orisa restricted me from ever envying others permanently. If you don’t know much about spiritual taboos, know it’s in your best interest to follow them to avoid unforeseen disaster.

It’s been eye-opening releasing myself from emotions we deemed human.
Envy is misguided inspiration AND the lack of personal fulfillment being triggered from outside of you.

When you find yourself envying others, flip the narrative immediately. Instead of “I wish I had what they had”, tell yourself “They have ___ and it inspires me to ____”

The love story of Ogun and Nana Buruku is the perfect representation of self-sabotaging the love you prayed for.
Nana Buruku originally came from the Dahomey and she is the supreme creator in that practice. In Ifa, she’s also seen to be considerably powerful and popular, especially among women.

Nana Buruku protects women from their abusers and those who violate & humiliate women.
In the story of Ogbe Oyeku, Nana Buruku still desired a partner. But a lot of men were intimidated of her or anxious to approach her—she didn’t really have the patience for them either to be honest.

But she wanted Ogun and had her eyes set on marrying him.
