How To Create An Elegua Altar

[@asham.5490]

I encountered a man dressed in red and black today who entirely reminded me of Elegua's energy, hence my research. It's so timely, this video, and I'm happily surprised it was only just published yesterday. Thank you!

Hi thanks for your knowledge. I’m new to this and wanted to ask if it’s ok to go to a 4 way street in a residential neighborhood to offer elegua/papa Legba? I read and see people say crossroads but I want to make sure I’m doing it correctly when going to offer elegua. I hope this is not a silly question lol.

[@OriginalBotanica]

Yes! Offering to Elegua or Papa Legba at a 4-way street, known as a crossroads, is both appropriate and traditionally accepted. Crossroads symbolize the meeting point between worlds and are sacred to both deities. A 4-way street in a residential neighborhood is fine if you feel comfortable and safe. Make sure it’s a quiet area where you won’t be disturbed. Offer rum, tobacco, coconuts, and candies for Elegua, or coffee, white candles, and sweets for Papa Legba. Set your intentions respectfully, and ensure proper disposal of non-biodegradable items afterward.

Do you have a video on setting up an Ogun alter

[@OriginalBotanica]

We don't have a video yet for how to create an Ogun altar, but we do have an article on our website which explains how to set an altar up for each of the Orishas: originalbotanica.com/blog/creating-an-orisha-altar- Be blessed!

I love your teaching please tell us how make a Oshun alter

[@OriginalBotanica]

We're planning to make videos for each of the Seven African Powers eventually, but I think Oshun was pretty high on our list. Yemaya is next I believe, but Oshun should be pretty soon after. Be blessed!

How to use algiz rune for protection. And can it protect you from all dangers

[@OriginalBotanica]

The Algiz rune is a powerful symbol of protection and can be used to shield an individual from harm. To use the Algiz rune for protection, you can carry it as a talisman, draw it on objects or places you wish to protect, or meditate upon its symbol to invoke its protective energies. It is associated with the Valkyries, promoting independence, autonomy, and courage in the face of fear. The rune also encourages seeking guidance from higher powers for protection and warding off negative influences. It is meant to offer spiritual protection and may help build a sense of security and courage, but it cannot guarantee physical protection from all dangers.

Can you use a sigil to win at the gaming shop or gambling

[@OriginalBotanica]

Yes! To create a gambling sigil, focus on your intention of winning at gambling or gaming. You might design a symbol that embodies luck, success, or prosperity. Once created, charge the sigil with your energy by focusing on your intention, meditating on it, or using rituals that resonate with you. For practical use, you can carry the sigil with you to the gaming shop or gambling venue, place it on items related to gambling, or keep it in your wallet. It's important to remember that while sigils can be a focus for your intention, they work best in conjunction with effort and skill in the games you're playing. Good luck and be blessed!

Someone was talking about magical seal can I draw or print a magical seal and charge and use by put it in sun or.blowing on it and put in pocket and seals work

[@OriginalBotanica]

Yes!. To create your seal, start by defining your job-seeking intention clearly and positively. Design the seal with symbols related to employment, success, or your industry, using materials that feel aligned with your intention. In choosing symbols for your seal, consider those that represent qualities like success, bravery, and innovation. Symbols like the mandorla or vesica piscis for unity, a figure representing bravery for overcoming challenges, or a paper airplane for creativity, can be potent. Select symbols that resonate with your aspirations, making your seal a powerful personal talisman in your job search journey. Charge the seal with energy by exposing it to sunlight or by infusing it with your breath, symbolizing a transfer of your personal power and intention. Carry the charged seal with you to keep your intention active and to draw the desired outcome closer. Regularly touching the seal can reinforce your commitment and remind you of your goal. It's important to pair this spiritual practice with practical actions towards your goal, such as networking and applying for jobs. The seal acts as a support, focusing your energy on your intention. Ensure your practice respects the guidelines of the tradition you're drawing from, as some have specific views on creating and using seals. Be blessed!

IS ELEGUA THE SAME AS PAPA LEGBA BECAUSE THEIR ALTARS ARE SIMILAR? THANK YOU

[@OriginalBotanica]

Elegua and Papa Legba are often compared because they both serve as guardians of the crossroads and messengers between the worlds. However, they come from different spiritual traditions. Elegua is from the Yoruba tradition and is an Orisha, while Papa Legba is a Lwa from the Haitian Vodou tradition. Their roles are similar, and their altars may share common elements, but they are distinct entities with unique attributes and rituals.
