I learned we should call upon our “ancestors of GOOD CHARACTER” that way you never have to worry about the bad ones

[@___Neo___]

Ase, absolutely. Only those who operated within the highest levels of good character are allowed.

[@KayleneRomero-oz7yz]

​@@___Neo___But how does one differentiate?

[@___Neo___]

@@KayleneRomero-oz7yz Start with self. You can't call on what it is you are not. Operate within the parameters of good character yourself... others will reflect off of you, either your light or their darkness. Work to remove those resonating darkness by any means necessary in the 3D while simultaneously asking for assistance from only those minds who resonate on your level or higher in the spiritual.

[@___Neo___]

@@KayleneRomero-oz7yz Thought it'd be easy, didn't ya? 🤣

[@QWERTYUIOP-wu6ht]

​@@___Neo___ yes, that's the importance of being specific. Not all ancestors are helpful. If there are wicked parents so are some ancestors.

I own the botanica in Norfolk VA that she and a friend of hers were getting their supplies from. We warned her also. It was a whole mess. It wasn’t Papa Legba.

[@Intentionaltia]

😮😮😮

[@worldclasstraveler3530]

I think it was baron. Papa Legba is Losero in my religion. My think is that she petitioned a spirit that originated from Africa to use against a black woman! She's mixing the religions! What did she think was going to happen? Plus, this is not how we use voodoo dolls. At least not in mine. 😶‍🌫️

[@lilac749]

I’m a Christian but I love listening to other people’s perspective on their religion and practices. I genuinely enjoyed listening to and respect your views on spirituality. You got a new subscriber! ☺️

[@13lilsykos]

This makes me really happy. I've been a practicing witch for 20+ years and I come across soo many Christians that are really hateful. I was raised southern Baptist and most of my family is Christian so I am still in the broom closet, if you will because I know exactly how it will go. It does my heart good to see people of any faith being tolerant of other religions.

[@MisstressMourtisha]

​@@13lilsykos surprisingly I've seen quite a few xhristians that are kind and actually try to live with peace and understanding. I've been to one church that hippies made and they had incense and the whole tapesties and fancy robes and hats ect, and everyone could dance or wear whatever they wanted, they talked about their experiences in life. Rare people for sure. Most of my life I've met the most hateful and cruel so they're like unicorns.

Hexing ppl takes a lot of protection, you have to protect yourself during a ritual and afterwards. If not then you have am lot to worry about. That’s why most witches won’t do it

[@midnightlotus7047]

Exactly and no magick practicing folk don't get this they think we are quick to hex and curse yet don't know difference between the two

[@___Neo___]

Only the weakest of minds hex.

[@Queensofafrica8]

ALOT of witches will do it but those who do it and do it right, know what they are doing and know how to properly protect themselves before, during and after!!!

[@karlotty]

When you curse someone, two graves are dug.

[@servalkorion686]

no matter of protection can prevent karma, delay maybe but it always comes full circle

[@LadyWisteriaa]

This case was the first time I really explored who Papa Legba really was and chile… I couldn’t shake the eerie feeling I got. It was like a “ok this isnt my background lemme stop trying to learn” feeling. Idk how people can just play around with stuff they dont fully understand or belong to and think everything will work out

[@saylremi]

I had the exact same experience! After this happened I was so curious and reading up a lot just because I was fascinated. I started getting an eerie feeling. One night I was home alone and heard a whistle and smelled tobacco. No one in my family smokes. I backed far away with respect

[@ReMpFreddie]

@@saylremiwhyd you take that as a sign something bad would happen sounds like you was on to something

[@saylremi]

@@ReMpFreddie It was right after the Katelyn Restin situation so it was fresh on my mind

[@simply_nebulous]

​@@ReMpFreddieEverytime I hear whistling associated with spirits, it's always something dangerous. I think they did the smart thing.

[@remyremy9232]

Agreed any time you hear whistling it tends to be a bad omen, my father was almost lured to the pit of a volcano in his country by whistling, he thought it was his friend he was with but when the friend actually called up from the top of the hill, my father got spooked and took back up to the top, the whistling was also accompanied by the smell of sulfur@@simply_nebulous

[@TheLeslieMichelle]

I heard about this story long ago. The first thing that came to my mind then and still is she shouldn't have messed with something she knew nothing about. Especially Papa Legba...you can't waste his time, cause to him, time is precious.

[@stargatis]

Time doesn’t matter to him. Intentions do, though.

[@-ClearQuartzzz-]

​@stargatis As a person apart of Haitian Vodou myself, what matters to the lwa is if someone is legitimate in Vodou and if they abided by traditional customs of Vodou. Both did not apply here.

[@TheLeslieMichelle]

@@-ClearQuartzzz- That's very true.

[@violetcarson5532]

I said that

[@NOT_THE_BEETUS]

Where can I read about Papa Legba? Respectfully I want to learn about him. I have no intention of practicing voodoo.

[@Lady_Aradia]

Thank you for stating that you do not have to honor all ancestors. It’s really disheartening to hear ppl harping on about ancestral honor to ppl that didn’t come from stable loving families. There are ppl reluctant about spirituality because of the pressure to honor ancestors. Really hard to do for those from dysfunctional families. Maybe this would be a great topic to talk about. It’s been heavy on my heart, hearing all the stories of abuse and abandonment. Only to be told that you must honor your ancestors

[@denicethomas89]

Now this!!!!! I have yet to start my alter or dive deep for this very reason. It’s over instructed to honor the ancestors first but some of don’t know any ancestor’s or weren’t connected with them in anyway so don’t know we’re to begin. Personally I also felt that if I didn’t know how to communicate or honor them then I would somehow have bad luck or not have certain success if I tapped into other areas of spirituality without connections there first if that makes sense

[@___Neo___]

Sometimes it is your ancestors who have chosen you... to clean out the garbage in the family, within the 3D. Your reservations are right in line with their wishes. As you clean outwards, by any means necessary, you cut the cords with the minds of those ancestors in line with the characters of the ones you cut in the 3D, allowing the light of truth to cleanse your family's line. You must do your part in order for them to do theirs. It is a symbiotic relationship. All is well.

[@slickandslaycious6579]

Agreed, some were toxic, some might be very strict and you don’t know their rules. Also I’m different traditions it might not always be prescribed. Also as my own type of pagan, sometimes you have to give reverence for the present and future.

[@rexx_da_weiler7513]

When you call on your ancestors you call on those that shine light on you I can assure you nobody comes from the perfect family so if you're trying to find perfection or unblemished untarnished history then you're going to be hard-pressed.

[@Queenofpositivity]

I needed that thank you ❤

[@DrCassie-PsyD]

American Horror Story Coven is going to get these folks messed up dabbling in things they have no real knowledge of. That character on AHS is a suppose to be a mix of Legba & Samedi. Before practicing anything you should be studying and researching not just jump in both feet first.

[@-ClearQuartzzz-]

As someone apart of this religion, that character was an offensive caricature and it wasn't ANY lwa he was portraying.

[@dadevi]

​@@-ClearQuartzzz-Agreed. But Papa doesn't mind because it brought more people into the fold for studying spirituality and finding out who is. Orishas and lwa can always defend themselves.

[@-ClearQuartzzz-]

​@@dadeviThe lwa do mind. They don't want to be portrayed as caricatures. They get annoyed just as anyone else would. That episode did nothing positive for who Legba is.

Her skin colour is null and void. It is her actions. When it comes to Papa Legba, he like, many deities and must never be crossed. I personally have never crossed paths with Papa Legba. But I have a rule that with deities, they choose us, not us choosing you. I would never cross them. I give them all with utmost respect. I respect all of them, and that includes Papa Legba.

Iboru Iboya Ibocheche. When we’re talking about certain communities of Egun worshippers I agree with the ethnic community sentiment, especially when it comes to societies of Vodou and 21 Divisiones. However what you are all forgetting is Papa Legba is a syncretism of the path of Esu ; Elegbara. The Eshu of power. The same as Elegba/ Elegua in the Spanish Afro diaspora. When we go to Ifá the source , Eshu is ÈSÚ ONITOJU ASE and ÈSÚ ÀYANMÓ - IPIN. The Divine messenger of Destiny and the Source of spritual power. He doesn’t scrutinise people based on blood or culture but of Asé. Which is why he can manifest in 21 different forms trickster and messenger. Elegua can manifest in the 100s. I’d like to see the credentials of some of you talking because you guys are talking madness when I know white people that have plenty of means to fuck your life up if you cross spritual taboos with Eshu and all his sycrestisms in ADR’s.

A few years ago, Papa Legba suddenly appeared in my life. Although I've been a long-time student of the occult, I had never heard of him before. I mean, he was *everywhere*. In a dream. In a close friends vision. On a shrine at an apartment party. On a television show. In a book. Showed up during my boss's acid trip etc. Etc. I did a lot of research after this, but in the end concluded his energy was not concurrent with my own. It was still wild though, to have a deity seemingly "reach out" to me through a series of synchronicities and occurrences. I have never experienced anything quite like that before, or since.

[@13lilsykos]

First, I love your SN. LOL! Secondly, if he was appearing everywhere to you and people who knew you, to me that would suggest that he was trying to contact to you in some way... I mean, he WAS making contact. Maybe I am not understanding what you mean by "concurrent with my own".

The Wiccans I knew in that area were taught a salad-bar mentality. Take what you like, and leave the rest. That might be where this chick got the idea. It was one of the big turnoffs for me… I was raised that you can’t get anything for nothing even spiritually

[@HandofHolmes]

Yikessss!!! I may joke around, but hexing isn’t necessary with ex partners. People who betray and hurt others, betray and hurt themselves. They were or are about to be suffering inside already that’s why they moved to hurt you in the first place. Hurt people turn to hurt other people. I wouldn’t bother the Orishas with a self fulfilling prophecy. Every time I even asked about an ex partner Oshun just rolled her eyes or kiss her teeth and gave me the “mmm chile” face that clearly said “not worth it/enough of this/not important don’t ask again.” I’d rather pray to them for healing, prosperity and moving on to better things.

This is so important because all of our different practices as people of color (me being various afro-latinx and Native origins lol) are so full of light and joy but still should be practiced with respect and understanding that they are not toys or trends!

Baron Samedi doesn't fuck around, he was disrespected and he wasn't going to let that stand. How are you going to enlist ANCESTRAL AFRICAN spirits to harm someone of AFRICAN BLOOD? Girl, this would not have happened, if only she had just listened to everyone. But her one friend enabled her behavior.

[@innerstanding_conversation]

girl in Africa we have advanced root workers who can mix things to take people's lives (if those people are weak spiritually). Also as someone who sees things and since im called to help people I get visions and dreams of people and their ancestors tell me to either pass on messages or to actually heal them so ancestors can gossip about their children to us but its never malicious things only how to help someone or to show us that persons state of being (maybe if someone is using herbs to control them).

Hi Yaya. I heard about this. I believe that she told the group that it was PaPa, but she described him as wearing a top hat. Which i believed would be The Baron. Her trouble was she crossed the streams. Didn't the guy in Ghostbusters told people not to do that? If you going to be in Voodoo you should know the pillars of the religion. You cannot ride 2 horses at the same time.

[@-ClearQuartzzz-]

I'm apart of Haitian Vodou. There are multiple lwa titled Baron; Baron Samedi, Baron Kriminel, Baron La Kwa, and so on. There are many lwa who wear top hats. Furthermore, people like to say it was Samedi. This isn't true at all and not even how the lwa work. No lwa came to this girl let alone Samedi.

[@etherealbarbie8305]

@@-ClearQuartzzz-what is the difference/purpose between the Baron Lwa you mentioned? I am Haitian as well and wanted to learn more about Vodou but I grew up in a Christian household and sheltered. I’ve been watching a few Haitian KZbinrs but I get lost trying to understand their creole.

I love your podcast and your storytelling prowess. It would be so interesting to get your take on a show called "Juju" by Filled With Magic Productions. The director/producer is Moon Lee Ferguson and she is a talented black woman who is getting some really nice accolades for her work. "Juju" is a show about women who find out they are witches and it's the first time I've seen a series where the protagonist are black.

[@_Ridethemaverick]

That’s sounds interesting! Where is it streaming?

[@jamielockett2547]

You can visit Filled With Magic Productions and they include some previews of works in progress, but about 4 episodes of Juju are available on the Internet/KZbin.

Check out L.A Banks “Vampire Hunter” series. Its entire main cast of characters is Black. The main heroine is Black, and there’s lots of Adinkra, Christian and other religious folklore in the books. Ms Banks has passed away, sadly… but her literary contributions to the horror genre will last the rest of time and hopefully inspire other authors.

I'm not black and quite frankly I would never attempt to start a ritual of another culture, I think it is disrespectful. I agree with you by not jumping at labels, we can all practice our ways of connecting with our won spirituality as far as it doesn't harm others.

[@Bbhehe]

Loved the video. I did want to give some insight regarding when you mentioned that you need permission in order to read someone. I've been reading for about 20 years and in my experience, I can read anyone. You and I need to give permission to the person because you and I are spiritually protected either through initiations and what not and to penetrate that energy is not easy. However, the average person is spiritually 'open' because theyre spiritually lost or do not have a strong faith-based. They are easily penetrated and thus you can read them. If I wanted to read my waitress without her permission, I can do so. But the case of morality is truly dependent from person to person. So I fully respect why you wouldn't do something like this.

[@___Neo___]

You can believe that you're reading anyone, yet the information that you receive may not be the truth, yet because it's coming to you, you believe it to be true. It has nothing to do with your protection or one's lack thereof. You're speaking as if the entities on this planet, in human form, are humans. Your eyes will deceive you, so then will the messages that you receive.

[@LandAWanderlust]

I agree. That's why I make a commitment to myself not to run to my cards to answer everything. Using my other spiritual gifts, like discernment, is just as important. But without a doubt, I haven't encountered a person I couldn't read.

[@corsetedwasteland2630]

The part about not posting tho!! I joined a few online groups bc I'm a solitary witch and figured it would be a good way to meet like minded people. These people were posting pics of their grimoires, book of shadows, altars and all kinds of personal things! I was flabbergasted, like why?! My spell book is like my diary, nobody gets to see it but me. It just felt like some of the people were showing off and not being genuine. I noped out pretty quickly.😊

[@melissagerber7231]

I know the feeling. There was an alleged witch on the old Joan Rivers show,who looked strange ,brandished a sword, and was letting Joan handle her altar pieces. She was pretty smart,though. Joan asked the inevitable question, " Can yoh cast a love spell for me?"🙄 She replied, " If you want to be loved,you have to do the work,yourself," I got newsletters from her coven,and, quite enjoyed them.

I’m just starting the video, but I remember this. Wasn’t she trying to hex…a black person??😭I just don’t understand why she even THOUGHT the ancestors would be okay with her, a yt woman, trying to push harm onto another black person. She was asking for it at that point. The AUDACITY of her was what caused her demise.

“Shoutout to the white people” 💀😂. I follow a few witchy SubReddits and they like to ask “should i hex my ex?” Or “should I hex my classmate that bullied me 10 years ago?” Some people be bugging out.

[@spiralrose]

I loathe those people with the passion of a prehistoric meteor-fall. Human arrogance at its finest. Also, those folks are cowardly. If they really want to put hurt on someone they should be bad enough to do it face-to-face on equal ground. Those redditors remind me of folks who buy a gun and now suddenly think they’re some kind of badass.

You are not kidding about respect. I had a powerful experience with making an offering at an alter in a temple in New Orleans back in ‘96, pre Katrina. I made an offering of a medallion I liked, at an alter, asking for just fair opportunity to find a job. Then soon after “BAM” I was given two(one was a clerk for Tarot readers, lol). And then I was guided down a path to escape a toxic relationship, and live in the Vieux Carré and being subsidized for the rent, paying less than 40percent. The worst part is I didn’t even know who I was making an offering too. I just felt draw to his alter.

As a witch who works with Goetia so it’s not as closed as Hoodoo and Voodoo but I would never suggest to work with any of these very powerful entities as a novice witch. Talking about the whole free will thing, I’ve had people get angry at me for telling them not to always listen to Loki a trickster who thinks it’s funny to mess with people like you can protect yourself and tell deities no.

[@melissagerber7231]

Loki,Loki's wife and Hel didn't even have priesthood ( officially. There may gave been some renegades). I don't know what some people think they're doing,calling on such beings. I'm sour on Loki , because of a life in which I was being taken back to Norway on one of several Viking vessels. A storm came up,and,not all the ships made it back. I was dying of a disease,anyway. One contact said that the storm was unnatural,and was raised by ( she said) priests of Loki,and, involved the sea god,in the form of a wolf.
