Thank you one again st. Martha for helping me and interfering in my situation. You are such a loving spirit. Thank you for forgiving my impatience and for all your signs that gave me comfort. I lit a candle for 9 days and then i started one for 9 tuesdays. After the second Tuesday she started making my wishes come true. She made him contact me and asking to see me. thank you so much mama Martha for the help all these years. Help me dominate this man and this situation and bring him back to me full all love to ask for my forgiveness and make him stay. Help me with my self confidence and self esteem. Help my family and my father to get over his health issue. I love you and i thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will continue spreading ur name

Every time I go into the Botanica, I run into St. Martha the Dominator. I am learning how to honor her holistically and in truth. I am a child of the Orishas, and now it turns out I am a child of the Loa.

This was a great informative video. Thank you

Greetings Bembesito, I always thought of him as "Ram" Belcan, because "Belier" means ram in French, and that line of thunder deities (heviosso chango etc..) eat Ram , noted that it might also mean "beautiful you" in Creole

Super wonderful video. Very informative and clear. 🙏🏽

I need to know how u got your name “ bembesito” 😊

My sweet mother thank you once again In my worst times you changed my life in one day, you brought me the love I asked for and even more. I will bring you all your gifts and continue spreading your name. Please protect my relationship and make him being totally in love with me. Protect my mother and help her to get over this. I love you ❤

Hey how can I get in contact with you

Musi

Thank you Bembesito! Adding something important Candelo also baptizes, very important point.

I enjoyed it, it’s very complex but you explained it perfectly!

21 division is dominican voodoo. you can't be non dominican and practice 21 division

Hi we’re can I pick up your son for a friend

His colors are black and red also. Idk about brown 🥴

Hey bembesito I have a question and I hope this doesn't sound stupid considering the fact that I'm new to Santeria. But can you syncretize your beliefs with roman catholicism and believe in God and the devil like how Palo and Vodou can or No?

BIEN EXPLICADO PORQUE SOY PUERTORRIQUEÑO Y ESTOY BAUTIZADO EN 21 DIVISION Y ME QUIERO VOLVER LOCO PORQUE VEO TANTA DIFERENCIA.

Thank you so much

Lukumi (Ifa and Catholicismis) the name of the practice found in Cuba that became known as Santeria on the other islands .

Please I need a speritual guide I need help please

Can someone from germany can get into 21 divisiones ? And if yes, how ?

I appreciate the confirmation. Ogun came and had me put on blue jeans and I felt him possess them and he had me fold them and put them on his alter. I was like “I though blue was for cooler spirits.”

Hi. Hey bembesito i heard that you're an expert on African religions and i was just wondering since I could not find all of the gods in Haitian Vodou and I'm just starting out. You see my man I'm looking for the answers but I do have a very good creation myth that I'm actually very fond of and I'm looking for the 232 gods but i know quite a few but couldn't find all the answers i need and I was wondering if you could help with that. My creation myth : Bondye created Damballah - the serpent god of knowledge. Together they created the physical universe we live in. Damballah had moved his 7000 coils and shaped the surface of the Earth. Bondye had descended from the sky to make man in his own image out of clay and created all the lesser gods (all the other loa) and once he had created man Damballah and Paoa Legba had descended from the sky and gave humanity wisdom and alk other things for a proper civilization and once all the other loa had made their introduction Bondye had announced that he would not get involved in the lives of human beings. The loa that i know of are Damballah Wedo Damballah La Flambeau Erzulie Freda Dahomey Baron Samedi Manman Brigitte Captain Debas Ayida Wedo Papa Legba Papa Candelo Kalfu Marassa Twins Shango Oshun Ogun La Siren Agwe Kita Ti Malice Linguetor (I forgot her first name) Zaka Papa Ghede Ghede Nibo Baron Criminel Erzulie Dantor and Baron La Croix.

Hey bembesito I have a question does Haitian Voodoo involve a five pointed star in any of the witchcraft / beliefs and if so how and what does it mean

So i petitioned Duballah the other day and the aspects of what i asked for as well as the traits of Anasia Pye is what I was lead to. While getting ready this morning I hear her name ring out in my head loud as day, So i decided to do some reasearch on her, and the way she is described summarizes my life!!!! Thank you for the information.

Yeah bembesito when you pray to the Catholic saint you're not actually praying to the Catholic saint you're praying to the god that is represented by that saint. But very true now that slavery is abolished you still can't just remove the catholic elements because of it's fusion and it's a main part of the religion that makes perfect sense so if you remove it won't make any sense plus the cross represents Legba

Do you have an email? Interested in getting a reading I’m located in NYC as well

Very interesting and i am very glad you shared this with us Bembesito but don't forget as you said though too you do have to do these altars and offerings every so often and personally i am going to pray to Damballa to gain this wonderful knowledge and yes bembesito it is also extremely important like you said yourself to remember and respect this knowledge. Thank you so much again and may the gods bless you bembesito for i appreciate your awesome wisdom. And that's fascinating because bembesito I will be documenting this my favorite video on KZbin and i hope that you keep doing these videos.

Hey bembesito i do have a question that needs a definite yes or no answer if you don't mind me asking! Is Palo Maymbo an open religion? I remember asking you that before but you never answered i think it is but only to a certain point idk because I never studyed Palo Mayombe thoroughly

St. Martha, Thank you for your guidance and grace. I walk with you for eternity. 🐍 🐍 🐍

Thank you for the information which I find very helpful.. I am Puerto Rican with a family background in mesa blanca and sanse… We have met very briefly as I have attended a few ceremonies where I went with a cajón player while you sang.. It’s great to find you here and learn.. muchísimo luz para ti

Hey bembesito i know that my speech is really long but there are very important elements of what I'd like to say that this is extremely cool and I appreciate you sharing this with everyone here! But I would like to say as a fellow expert on my religion and my gods yeah and correct me if I'm wrong fellow African diasporic expert because I gotta say I'm very appreciative towards you and your knowledge but anyways I'm gonna make this as quick as I can but basically Eshu just like Papa Legba is the trickster of Haitian Voodoo like how Eshu is the trickster god of Santeria and it is extremely important to keep a good relationship with both of either the voodoo god of mischief himself or the Santerian god of mischief bembesito because otherwise buddy if you don't a series of atrocious events will fall upon you with either route you choose. Eshu is a benevolent trickster god but can sometimes do things for comic religion sometimes to teach mankind valuable lessons or he could do things of negative forces by being angry by not valuing his affection and disrespecting his personality. The same with Papa Legba but he is not like that of Eshu because he is NOT a being you want to summon to do acts of evil regardless of what race you are because bembesito i know of what happened to Kaitlyn Restin however bembesito idk if have heard of what I'm about to tell you bembesito but there are black people who have tried to summon him to do acts of evil towards white people and they have either went blind or their whole beings were completely destroyed - being destroyed mentally physically and emotionally. But Eshu can be used to do evil things but it would have to do acts of evil due to being a much more serious form of mischiefis energy. You don't have to know everything about your religion or every god of your religion think about it though but you do have to know that (since that 3 is the number that represents Papa Legba - who is the loa that i personally love the most who has the best relationship with me and 7 represents the Rada goddess that has the best relationship with me La Siren with who is the goddess i am attracted to the most and they are both together that of a goddess and god of the rada nation and that basically one is a man and the other is a woman and that basically man and woman is natural) and alongside the fact that voodoo is a nature oriented religion. Besides that they are both here to improve and guide humanity (they are rada loa) or positive gods. Know to me bembesito there are extremely helpful benefits of knowing the loa who are the closest and most loyal to you and to get initiated but you don't need to sometimes bembesito because if you were to pray to Damballah Wedo and Papa Legba first to gain guidance and knowledge on your journey they will help you and since Damballah is the most powerful of the Loa he can show you and that you should pray to Papa Legba to also gain knowledge from the other world think about bembesito like i said it's importance is on a prodigiously high level to keep an extremely good relationship with Papa Legba otherwise it's not gonna be good at all and they can help you with finding your loa by praying to them and asking them for knowledge of that part of Haitian Voodoo to tell you in your dreams so analyse what I'm saying bembesito. The reason why you should pray to Papa Legba first is because he is effortlessly the first to be honored during each and every ceremony but Papa Legba can be tricky but if you pray to Damballah Wedo first and you are mentally handicapped he will protect you from false information and harm because he's very benevolent benign patient and gentle and very loving but Papa Legba also understands but bembesito it's gonna have to depend on your relationship with him if he's gonna be messing with you or he's just joking. However bembesito I'm gonna tell you something that i share with a lot of people. A lot of the time that I was studying my religion let's just say the more I learned about it the more I fell in love with it and I was so moved by it that i wanted to cry tears of joy and relief but even though I didn't my heart for it was like it was made of neon and I said to myself i found my permanent salvational sanctuary And the 10 gods that i love the most let's just bembesito the more I learned about them the more I began to love them for who they are. And last but not least for helpful information buddy All the gods especially bondye are omnipotent BUT bembesito that's only when they are fully fed but they are not immortal the only one who that is truly immortal is bondye although the other loa transcendant they are not immortal. And yeah for a bonus bembesito like i said in a somewhat old comment Haitian Voodoo does but does NOT talk about final judgement because buddy let's just say history have very strange way of repeating itself but most other African religions do not however I know Haitian Voodoo and Domican Voodoo do/don't. Thanks for all your wonderful help encouragement and comments and I hope one day we do meet and really do become friends in real life! I'll pray that you stay blessed be safe and have a happy new years days Bembesito!

I have another 4 questions bembesito Can you be possessed by the loa without initiated? In my theory the answer is yes but you won't have control over the loa Can you serve the loa that you love the most without hosting the ceremony? Which ceremonies do you have the ability to host most ceremonies without being initiated? Can you get married at a Voodoo ceremony without being initiated?

The questions are One - Can you initiate yourself Two - How many gods are in Haitian Voodoo

Hey bembesito! I few questions and statements that I'd like to say No form of Haitian Voodoo requires initiation unless you're going to be a priest or priestess think about it bembesito cause hey anyone be a servant of Haitian Voodoo We both know that's true but bembesito what are the ceremonies that you do and the ones you don't initiated for? Anyone can find their own Loa but sometimes if you pray hard enough to the gods your loa will reveal his or herself to you They call him papa guede so does that mean he's a rada loa I'm curious on how you want to say bembesito because I never got that answered

My beloved beautiful grandmother was a bruja from La Romana Mercedes Rijo Abreu I remember when I was young she use to read cards and she had an alter with candles, Ron, icons, crosses and cigars that she use to smoke and blow on my face. She use to tell me my future and give me consejos so I be safe. And she always was right in her predictions it always came true so I know for sure that it works.

Hey bembesito I have a question if you don't mind but does voodoo talk about or teach the existence of the end of time? I'm just curious is all because it's very complicated and I can't figure it out. I know the gods aren't immortal but I know in the end I still don't think bondye would allow them to die and it's puzzling because every ancient religion of every single culture around the world talks about it

Bembesito there's a couple questions I've been meaning to ask . One is west African Vodun an open religion and two is west african vodun more followed than Cuban Vudu or is it the way around? I mean technically buddy there's a large amount of skeptism that's been wrapped around me due to the fact that West African Vodun and Cuban Vudu are very popular where people that are extremely educated in african diaspora and if any KZbin has the answer it's you and i have been for the last few days now

THANK YOU 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Brilliantly expressed by a true initiate and expert, thank you for your teachings

Hello Bembesito, circling back on your response to me and encouragements 2 years, I got my first step in 21 divisions here in santo domingo this week. I was surprise by the power of the mambo and feel a sense of freedom from the somewhat dogmatic cuban system you mentionned ( I been crowned ocha for 17 years) and discovered a tradition that can achieve the same results without killing animals and allows people to mount and work with the whole spiritual frame, thus giving brand new, limitless perspectives, for evolution. God bless You

Hey bembesito I have a question buddy if you don't mind answering but is Palo Mayombe an open religion

Please try to understand and comment on what I said even if it's not true.

Hi personally I'd like to explain bembesito I'd like to say this....some people can have independent beliefs about Haitian Voodoo! Think about bembesito there are so many african tribes and kingdoms that share one another's beliefs about Voodoo and that this could be a mixture of different beliefs and most of the loa could've though to their selves okay well since there is no specific way to practice this then well to the ones who have a hard time learning disabilities we'll let humans have their own way to have their own way of believing it and the great lord damballah is the god of knowledge so he wanted every African tribe to have independent beliefs rather mixture or whatever the case may be but Papa Legba he opened the crossroads for me to have this logical knowledge so as a voodooist myself this makes since. However to me Papa Bembesito so (I gotta lot of respect for you trust me friend I do) there SONGS , creation stories , dances , and food items you do have to get right to blend in perfectly enough to make any sense take it from me bembesito I met a wise man who's a Haitian Voodooist that me this because his family was raised to believe this! Think about it bembesito you gotta ask yourself! I don't know but this is what he told me. Bembesito you're a santeria right well you must know that I am mentally handicapped but I do believe this with everything in me because I'm autistic but santerians need to be like myself as voodooist who's devoted to the good should be kind considerate and patient so please be. Thanks and keep doing the best you no matter what

Hi bembesito! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind! #1. Is West african Voodoo (West african Vodun) an open religion #2. The type of sympathetic magic in Santeria is not dolls or poppets but actual Puppets right? Like the Puppet being like a voodoo doll but it's size is just that of an ordinary puppet

I hear no mention of IFA the original African Traditional spiritually originating in Yoruba and practiced by the Yoruba peoples of Nigeria centuries ago which had the Orisha dieties. Through the Atlantic slave trade IFA got translated to Santeria in Cuba,and other Spanish speaking countries. TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH. Without IFA or Yoruba tradition there is no Santeria and other traditions. Don't try to erase the African beginning.

Hey bembesito like i said in previous videos your videos are the best around! But if I may say You do have to find which of the loa care about / love you the most when you do make altars towards especially the top 6 BUT here's some additional info I'd like to tell people buddy When you do : do NOT offer them food or beverages that they do NOT like because that'll ANGER the gods BUT when you offer them food or beverages that DO like / love especially their favorites that will PLEASE the gods! And technically bembesito I'm an autistic man with tourettes syndrome and schizophrenia but I'm proud to be who I am! And I am so thankful for all my blessings because if it weren't for the gods calling to me I would've never met / befriended an awesome smart understanding and inspirational man that YOU are! Plus when the gods are pleased far more good's gonna come to you but I would never hurt my gods (Loa of Haitian Voodoo) not just because of this or that but because I know I owe them everything and they don't have to do for us they do because wanna Do!

Español por favor

Which Loa is associated with bumble bees?

Are there people from different cultures that initiate into 21 divisions? That don’t have it in their blood

Please do a video about the importance of "Good Character". I like you because you are balanced,sincere,and wise. You have successfully explained some huge topics and can articulate in both English and Spanish. Thank You.
