rasembi aunk said:Yes I do. Many years ago I was told by a voudon priestess through divination that I had an ancestor that was trying to tell me things in my dreams about certain practices but whenever I awoke I never remembered what he said. I've always had a strong interest in things metaphysical and I guess he was the influence that pushed me to certain books, mainly on natural healing. The vision that she told me she saw seemed like to her was that of a rootworker or hoodoo man. Through contacting him I found that this was true. She also said that he was not a bloodline ancestor but still had taken an interest in me.
In the physical I've never had any teachers although I would would love to have one, but throughout the years I've read books on voodoo, hoodoo, ceremonial magic and a whole lot of other stuff and I practiced doing rituals and spells for things beating tickets, getting loans, grants, business increase, money, women ect. Somethings I don't mind trying but somethings I won't ever do (again) like trying to work with hot spirits like Zarabanda without the proper training. Palo ain't no joke!!
My basic practice is what you would call hoodoo with heavy use of the psalms. Even though I don't consider myself a christian, the bible has a lot of power in it. Think about the millions of people praying every saturday and sunday dumping all of that emotional energy into those words on the astral plane, and you think a brothah ain't going to tap into all of that raw energy..ssshhh!! I'm nowhere near an adept because it's only so much one can learn through books but I hope to find a teacher one day.
"Many of them also which used curious arts brought their
books together and burned them before all men and they
counted the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of
silver. So mighty grew the word of God and prevailed."
Acts 19:19-20
A good way to dispose of junk mail, bills and letters from former lovers. Thinks that bind us to the past are best tossed to the fire. Recite the proper scripture and see the results.
Ever have a failed relationship and your significant other left you with momentos you want to discard or items they left behind?
I once was in a situation with a sister who used to profess being a voodoo "priestess" and she had a male friend that was into a yourba "sect". She spent the night with me a few times and would purposely leave things around my house, near my bed especially. I didnt really want to get involved with her on a sexual level but she pushed the issue with me. She was a spoken word artist and it was after spending one evening with her that I later did some reading and came across the legend of Isis and Ra. It tripped me out because the story explains how Isis [Auset] obtained her power from getting Ra to reveal his "holy name". Well, this sister is the only one who I shared some of my song lyrics with, and also some of my writings which I use a name that not even my closest relatives know of. Its also a name I use for most of my internet passwords. Well, I soon found myself haveing difficulty sleeping swhenever she left so I had to start doing purification rituals.
Soon after that I ran into her at a community event and we went to her place to hang out. Later that evening she revealed to me that she had several operations and was unable to have children.
Again, this was odd because it brought me to the point of going back and studying those pictures of Isis trying to revive the phallus of Osiris.
After that I was celibate for the next 7 years. I think she cast some kinda spell on me that I was not able to break until a specific Lunar cycle that occured in November 2005. And it had to do with the conjunction of the planets. And she was a "Virgo".
