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.

Nago Nation: Ogou Feray, Ogou Ashango, and Colonization the true Enslavement of the Haitian people!!!

I saw this statue and was drawn to it.  I love the color red, it catches my attention instantly.  I noticed that the name was Chango.  In Haitian Vodou there is the Nago Nation.  In every nation there are multiple types of a particular lwa within a group.

The Ogouns:  St. Jacques, Ossange, Ogou Badagri,  Ogou Feraille, Ogoun Fer, Ogoun Shango, Ogou Balindjo, Ogou Balizarre, Ogoun Yemsen to name a few. 

In Haiti Ogou has been syncrenized with the Catholic saint St. George.  However, an interesting part of history has been left out of Haitian history that I believe is revelant to the state of the people, and one of the main reasons of the current condition of the country. 

It took the beloved Ogou spirit to bring this to my attention.  Now when I look at this, what comes to my mind is the opulence of the Moor.  The Moors have been forsaken throughout history.   We have been told that we have come out of slavery, and everything that we have ever accomplished was associated with slavery, but my perception has shifted. 

Our culture has been engulfed with Catholicism and Christianity not by choice...  It is said that Christopher Columbus came to Haiti and landed on Mount St. Nicholas...  I wonder why, just as the pilgrimages landed on Plymouth Rock!?!  We are learning more of the contribution that Columbus made...  which is colonization and not civilization.  Civilzations already existed on the island of Ayiti, long before the crash landing of Colonization...
But I will examine this further on just who St. Nicholas was and thus the root of colonization, and the enslavement in Ayiti.
