Hello. Earlier this moneth, I was intiaited into Vodu. I went & had my lave tet & kanzo & did the whole nine yards. It was an exciting experience to say the least. While I cannot give you any details about it as I've been sworn to secrecy, suffice to say that it was a tremendous, positive change in my life & something that I'll treasure for the rest of my days.
I would also like to make it known that I do NOT care if you are an intiate in Vodu, regardless of who, because I am not going to talk to you about any details or such. Why? I'm not interested in getting involved in the petty & childish games of "My LWA's Bigger than Your LWA" nonsense that so many of you play on various Vodu message boards & forums. Screw that! I have more important things to attend to!
Also I am NOT interested in commenting on other Vodu practitioners out there on the Net regardless of whether or not they are real or fake. You should know if they are the real deal or not. If you doubt them, then they probably are a fake. In fact, this is one major reason why I chose to ignore the call of the LWA for so long over the years. There are many fakes & bullshit artists and many of them stalk the web and hang out in the mot obvious places - i.e. Yahoo Groups - all arguing ridiculous points that do not matter to me.
If someone is real, they have the LWA and the LWA is all they need. I'm happy with my choice of House & teachers. I was initiated as a Houngan Asogwe and I am now at peace with my LWA Spirits & Ancestors. I'm amazed at how I got to where I did with all of the heavy Spirits in my life because they wanted me intiaited a long time ago but I did not knkow anyone worthy of my time that I could trust.
I don't have much faith in the Yoruban part of the ATR and mainly that's because of the chest thumping that runs rampant in that part of the community. I think the Orisha are great but the community that worships them leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. Many of you who've come to me from that sector have told me horror stories that made me shake my head in wonderment at how people who claim to be spiritual could do such heinous acts towards another human being - all over silly, (mostly imagined) slights done to them.
My Metaphysical career spans 20+ years and I've had some good teachers up to this point and now the next leg of my journey is underway. I've much work to do and only so much time to do it. I've given up my Yahoo Groups and unsubbed from the all but a couple of the groups I used to haunt. Why? I just don't have the time nor am I interested in the debates - even the real good ones where I learned something! - because this path requires time & commitment. I have a Head Spirit that has plans for me and I've got only so much time to devote in a day.
My business is going to shift & take new avenues. Some things I will continue to offer and other things I will not. For now, I have discontinued the Magus Ritual Magic course and the Voodoo Magic Course. Why? They both are in serious need of revamping & updating. I'm working on a Basic Sorcery course that should be done by this fall. Plus I have my Apprentices who are all very near & dear to my heart and thus my time is even more limited to my original time frames. Ugh! LoL
Much of my Vodu Work will be factored into my old RootWork-Conjure Sorcery which I will not totally abandon per the LWA. There is a desire for good, solid help there and many people need something in their life that they can afford which gives them hope & inspiration & results.
I'm proud to be a Houngan in Vodu and serve the LWA. It's been a LOOOONG time coming. Things are changing and will continue to change but with the LWA at my back and by my side I will march head long into victory & success and take as many good people with me as I can!
Be safe. Be certain. Be wise.
