I`m familiar with African Spiritual systems because I'm from an African ethnic group. It just doesnt sit well dudes are passing around PDFs (legit or not) of things that many people have to go through rites of passages to get. You got cat literally talking about they want to do this stuff to get at people or basic earthly gains. Either way thats something yall will have to deal with when it comes to the consequences of your decisions.

Oh yeah I definitely recommend going to someone of a higher “rank” and actually talking to them and learning.

Don’t just learn the shyt from online and try to practice it


This something you need to devote yourself to. That’s why I like learn about it more vs than actually practice it.

I agree with this 100%. If a person is seriously interested in learning anything outside of the basic cleansing ritual they need to consult with a teacher. They also need to do their homework on said teacher and make sure they aren't dealing with a charlatan. My babalawo is well-respected, a bestselling author, scholar, has decades practicing Ifa and studying Orisa spirituality so I lucked out in that regard. Literally read his book then found out that he lived up the street from me. It doesn't happen like that for everybody though. I would tell those people who currently don't have a teacher to stick to the basics for now and do the knowledge. Read as much literature as you can on the particular system that interests you. If you are truly serious and look hard enough for a teacher you will find one.

What prayers??



I think Blacks have a very strong connection. So much so if you mess up slightly, it won't be good.

I could look, Do you want me to send it

 

[Neuromancer]

Yes.

 

[BLΔCK⁂W⊙LF]

I could look, Do you want me to send it

Someone gave me a link to one:

http://aladokun.com/category/prayers/

But I am wary of calling upon ancestors and the like because I've never done it before and people on this site warn against doing that type of stuff if you are ignorant. So if you have information that isn't related to invocation then, yeah.

Last thing I need is a c00n spirit haunting me. I kid, but I am kind of serious.

I wasn't a believer before though, so I just thought it was a bunch of b.s.... That is why I tried practicing it. I never intentionally called upon spirits though because I didn't know how. If I did, I would have done that as well.

Any places in the NY metro area where I can talk to an African priest or witch doctor?

Santeria (Way of the Saints) is an Afro-Caribbean religion based on Yoruba beliefs and traditions, with some Roman Catholic elements added. The religion is also known as La Regla Lucumi and the Rule of Osha. Santeria is a syncretic religion that grew out of the slave trade in Cuba.

yep forrest whitaker, donald glover and even vanessa "milf" williams are on it.



Anyone put me on, i am Nigerian so i am entitled to it lol. i remember going to a few odd places as a child with so called "specialist" one told me never to eat snail or i will be cursed. please snail is delicous and other obscure thins i can recall now i know it some "santeria" shyt.

Anyone can tell me who my Santeria angel is ? thanks in advance.

 

[BlackDiBiase]

here are the angels, find which one you are although i think you have to be given one by a high ranking "specialist".

The Orishas of Yoruban-originating religions are part of a group of godlike beings created as parts of the supreme Creator. Every worshipper has a spiritual mother and father, though only one is dominant. When a priest or priestess is initiated, they are done so as a devotee of their dominant Orisha. Though there are hundreds of Orishas, you may find you identify with one of these:

Elegua
Elegua is the road-opener, and messenger of the Creator If you are a child of Elegua, you may find yourself drawn to parties, good food and drink, good cigars, fun, sex, dancing, costumes, and shows. You may be very sensual, with a keen sense of humor, a taste for practical jokes, and a highly developed sense of right and wrong (and a strong desire for retribution). This passion for fun and sensuality has its downsides -- you may struggle with confinement, monogamy, routines, and boredom.

Obatala
Obatala is the Orisha of peace and calm, whose domain is the sky above, the clouds, and the tops of mountains. If you are a child of Obatala, you may find that you are enamored with ideas, analytical, cerebral, introverted, and monogamous. Others may seek you out for your wisdom. You may prefer things like mild foods, gentle music, and small groups. However, you may find physical things a challenge for you, dislike large groups of people, and may be prone to anxiety and frustration (especially if you do not get enough alone time to recover).

Ogun
Ogun is the Orisha of technology, civilization, and iron. If you are a child of Ogun, you may be quick to become offended, quick to act, physically strong, and have an affinity for metals and woodlands. On the flip side, you may have difficulty with the emotional side of things. It can be hard for you to remain clear-headed in matters of love, talking about your feelings may be a challenge for you, and you may often feel that others take advantage of you to ask for favors.

Oshun
Oshun is the Orisha of love, sensuality, sexuality, beauty, and fertility. You may be a child of Oshun if you care about your clothing and appearance, care about fashion, love to dance, enjoy flirtation, and love parties. On the other hand, you may be inclined to vanity, tend to react emotionally rather than logically, cannot stand confinement, and are easy to offend.

Oya
Oya is a warrior Orisha. She is the goddess of lightning, hurricanes, and the winds, as well as the guardian of the cemetery gates. You may be a child of Oya if you love thunderstorms, have a "green thumb," are not bothered by the dead, enjoy dark colors, do not fear physical fights, and enjoy the company of strong people. You may have had a lover leave you in the past. This strength and warrior spirit has its downsides, as well -- you may be quick to anger, resent discipline, and grew up as a "problem child."

Shango
Shango is the Orisha of virility, thunder, and war. He is intense, as are his children. You may be one if you are very sexual, love music and dancing, react strongly to thunderstorms, love the color red, and are articulate and charming. You may also be clairvoyant. Unfortunately, you are also likely to be hot-tempered, and find that you cause strong reactions in others -- after meeting you, they either love you or hate you.

Yemaya
Yemaya is the Mother of the Seven Seas. You may be one of her children if you are strongly parental, caring, empathetic, protective, slow to anger, and quick to forgive. You may also find yourself drawn to lakes and oceans. Physically, you may be inclined to a heavy figure. Otherwise, you may be a bit of a homebody. Though money is seldom a problem for you, your emotional needs come before material goods. You may find yourself performing a lot of emotional labor, as other people often come to you for support.

These are only a few of the Orishas -- they govern all of the natural phenomena in the world, so there are many more than these seven. Though a reading is the only way to truly find out which Orishas have influence over you, this list can help give you a general idea of which you may identify the most strongly with.

This is my girl's granny's religion. She got me some green and yellow beads along time ago.

Tells me not to fukk around and think shyts sweet

Hella people in Cuba walk around with he beads and you often see people wearing white, I think she said you wear white when you just do the ceremony or something. She gave me this book you should read.

you're spot on. once you get initiated or go through the ceremony you must wear white for a whole year afterwards.

I'm interested in the gods and angels so I'm going to write this down and see if it is in my borders or waterstones. thanks bro.
