The Bible is just a book

The bible the most popular book in the world.  It has been translated into just about every language, and version.  In a nutshell the bible is just a book filled with allegory!

 This statement is not made to disregard or dismissed the experiences that are being described in this book. The bible give examples of the psychedelic experiences of alchemy that are supposed to occur as we go along our life journey.  The journey is also depicted in the "Fool's" journey of the Tarot. but most...have fallen short of the glory...

 

Deuteronomy 14:2

"For you are a holy people to the LORD your God, and the LORD has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

 

During the rites of Freemasonry that the initiate is asked to spit on the bible.   This is blasphemous for Christians, however, there is an agenda of this particular organization to consider. The regard in which this book is held shows the allegiance of the individual.

 



On the US dollar itself, it states "IN GOD WE TRUST", this country was built upon biblical principles.  As insignificant as it may seem most spend time thinking about how to get dollars, or more of it in there possession. 

They say knowledge is power, and once knowledge has increased, so can peace, and prosperity.  With knowledge one can be elevated, advance or progress.  True enlightenment I believe can be found into another book, and that book is the dictionary.  Yet, another book that can be found in multiple languages.  There is even a dictionary for the bible!?!  In the last entry I gave an idea of how spelling helps with spells.   Let's take it a step further, a spell can dictate a desired outcome.  Ultimately, your word is your wand!  Words, are broken down, and defined in a dictionary.  The bible give an idea of and attempts to breaks down what we are!  Honor and Respect.

The question maybe what does this have to do with vodou?  The response, everything.  Many come thinking Vodou is hocus pocus, to me it is Vous Dou... it is what you, do!

The ABCs of Spells... Spelling

Thank God for the internet, the wonderful world wide web.  You can google just about anything.  Google however is Artificial intelligence, an algorithm, you can only get out what was put in.   

Many search for spells on the net.  People seek spells for love, work, money, etc.  Yet, you know when you cast your net you can draw up things that want, and others that you do not.  The beauty that we have is natural intelligence.  As beings we have the power to create.

Yes, others can effectively petition on your behalf.  However,  No one can speak to your situation, greater, than you. You are going through your own experience. If it is your desire to become a mambo, hougan, shaman, etc, this is an indispensable skill.

The truth is a lot of people do not know how to spell. Being able to spell is the ability sum up how you feel. (A spell enhances your confidence that will get you a job, an interview, your money back, your to get your personality across.  Your words is your sword, and your vocabulary is vehicle that drive them into existence.

A spell consists of words to command a certain outcome.  Yes, spelling that which we learned in elementary school is important. Words have power! Re- read the sentence...

While in school, I have heard some say I do not see why this is important I am not going to use this in "real" life!?! Spelling seems crazy, illogical, and 'weird', right? But there are patterns, rules & reasons why some words are spelled the way they are - honestly!

One of the main complaints I here that I do not have...
Statistics state that:

2/3 of American students who aren't proficient readers by the grade will end up in jail or on welfare.

61% of low income families don't have books at home... 

1 in 4 American children never learn how to read. 

Interesting numbers, when education in America is, free. It's never too late to improve your spelling, thus your spells. Do something now to improve your spelling. It is useful for your personal altar work, addressing the lwa, and magic. 

Learning all about why we spell the way we do.  Notice spelling patterns, and using spelling strategies will improve your spells--- spelling, writing and confidence.
 

 

 

 

Haiti and Haitian Vodou! Why you Vodou/ Voodoo?

One must ask themselves what is it about Vodou that draws people?

Many things can be said about Jean Betrande Arisitide, but the one thing that he gave to Haiti before his oust was Vodou as the nations Official Religion!

As a child I remember that whenever someone I met learned that I was Haitian the question that followed was Do you do Vodou?  Do you know "that stuff"?  Although they seemed scared they were in fact fascinated! 

The reality is that Vodou, provides an avenue to tap into the individuals power!  We are told to look towards outside sources when everything we need is within!

So many have tried to blame the earthquake on the practitioners in Haiti.  The give this religion all types of negative associations, but the fact of the matter is that it is time for change!   The people are tired!  Haiti has been given all sorts of names, outlaws, devil- worshippers, corrupt, and stripped of their dignity.  Haiti was once called the Pearl of the Antilles, but others came in and told them what they were doing and how they were living were not good enough for their standards. 

People still travel from all around the world searching for healing, because we realize that we must be obedient to and with Universal, and Natural Laws.

These ceremonies were performed as a cry to return, back to the Source, but where can one find it!
