Black Spirituality Religion : Marriage to Spirits - Vodou

[sekou kasimu]

Hate to tell you uncle but it is so. However, I don't hide behind spirituality. It is a way of life for me. I was called out by my ancestors to practice. It wasn't my first choice but an obligation. Before my adventure into African Spiritual Traditions, I didn't subscribe to any form of spirituality and actually considered myself atheist at some stage in my life - well at least a classic agnostic. I had no choice but to answer the call and my life is infinitely better because of it.

The things I have witnessed since then are probably more than most people will even know about life or will even experience in their lifetime. I went from homeless, suicidal and penniless to owning 3 properties and a multi-millionaire dollar enterprise as well as becoming a self made millionaire in less than 4 years. I was promised a life beyond my wildest dreams and I have been living one since I accepted my calling. I have seen things that if I could take my eyes out and wash them, I would have about 5 times by now. They defy logic and reason.

This is my decision and not anyone else's. This is what my ancestors wanted. What I know... the more I learn the less I know. Sometimes I wish I could go back and drink the kool-aid and be ignorant of the things I have seen or experienced. Life is not the neat little box I once knew with a rational and logical explanation for everything. Remember I am a scientist by training.

Well, if that's what it takes for you to maintain your sanity, so be it! But don't forget that the objective is not to recreate ancient Afrikan culture in this country, but to synthesize the best from the various Afrikan cultures, and create a new one that addresses the problems we face today!!!

Uncle, not maintain my sanity so much but accomplish whatever I want to accomplish without half the work most people expend to accomplish half of what I have. So far whatever I do has been successful despite the opposition.
Example: I think I want to start a business, tomorrow someone calls me about an opportunity even without me soliciting them. This stuff is real. The problem is with rational western influenced so called negroes who think they about the cause because they don't care for white folks but think like them.

As one brother said "Vodou is not a poverty movement."

We work with the ancestors and spirits to improve our quality of life on this earth. I joke sometimes that my maman is the Creflo Dollar of Vodou. She shows us the ways to work with the lwa to ensure a continous flow of wealth and it works. No mind tricks involved, no faith and just believe, no imagining it is working. Nope. I just look at my bank account as it continues to grow and deepen to know it ain't nothing imaginary going on.

One sister of mine was diagnosed with cancer and a open sore on her nose that would not heal for 2 years. She went into the djevo last November. Her sore closed completely as soon as she left the djevo. Two weeks later, she had tests done and the doctors said she had no evidence of cancer present.

That to! Just stay focused and help finance an Afrikan-centered institution when you can. I'm sure Destee.com could use some help!

Uncle, that is what I am doing. I will help Destee.com once I complete my trip into the djevo.
