Hello folks,
I hope all is well.
With Holy Week approaching quickly, I am extremely swamped with Voodoo Consultations, Readings, work and appointments. The closer we get, the busier it gets here. I won’t be posting much this week, but letting you know I haven’t forgotten all of you Vodouisants out there.
Luck n Luv

Tuesday
Whew! What a day. I was booked solid with appointments today and have been laboring extensively in the badji. I am not going to write anything long, as I am quite exhausted.
But, I have to say, that today I saw quite an awful case. I am changing names, naturally, but I would like to relate this story.
A young woman came in today. She arrived for her appointment, and the first thing the Lwa said was “Tell her that her mother is the source of all her problems, she is envious and hateful of her . . . ”
I told her. Immediately, she broke down. She sobbed and sobbed. Unfortunately, I’ve seen quite a few of these cases. She said
“I know, I know, Houngan Hector, I’ve been everywhere. They tell me they will help me, but look at me. Nothing is going right. I still have my job by a thread! I don’t know what to do anymore”
“It will be alright, we are going to fix you up nice and good” I replied “You’ve come to the right place. The Misterios are going to help you”
And thus I consoled her and we finished our consult. I gave her the list of items to bring me and she will be returning in a few days to have this resolved.
I hope you, dear reader, are never in this situation. But envy and hatred from a mother is one of the worst things to endure. And if you are a mother yourself, love your children with all your might.

Monday
Today, Monday is a special day for Papa Baron. On this day, many do their services to the dead and the Gede. I’m doing my usual services this morning.
The rest of today is as usual as most mondays. Replying to your emails, scheduling appointments, filling orders, returning phone calls and running errands. There is always an endless lists of tasks to be done, lol. I know you can understand.
Happy Feast of St. Joseph! Happy Fete Papa Loko!
Honor and Respect, Honor and Respect to all my fellow Houngans and Mambos!
Ayibobo!
Papa Loko’s feast is tomorrow. If you do not know who Papa Loko is, I would suggest you read about him here.
Papa Loko is the first Houngan. A powerful healer and diviner, Papa Loko is the true Master of Ceremonies. He confers his knowledge upon those who have “taken the asson” or Houngans and Mambos Asogwe.
He is a Mystery that is served by us, Houngan and Mambo Asogwe, and whose rituals are for the most part secret.
Those who have Papa Loko in their court will have no choice but to become Houngans/Mambos in time.
Hello Fellow Vodouisants,
Happy Fet Papa Danbala. Wishing you the best, peace & harmony in your home and in your life.
Our service for Papa went lovely. The altar looks stunning and clean. It is radiating power. Papa was quite happy with it as well. One of my initiates who was over for the service was possessed by Papa!
Papa Danbala claimed one of my children, then he slithered into the altar and blessed it.
Ayibobo! Ayibobo! Ayibobo!

Tommorow is the feast for Danbala, St. Patrick’s day. As we commence this time, we should allow ourself to reflect on what we have done and what we have created . . .have we created, engendered, and promoted peace or have we done otherwise.
Is your life full of peace? Are you content with your life? And where you are currently at? Danbala Wedo, the Great Serpent, is the Spirit of Peace and Wisdom. Wherever he slithers, peace, enlightenment and wisdom follows. He is the father of the Mysteries and behind him are many more Mysteries.
I encourage all Vodouisants to dress in all white if possible for Papa Danbala tomorrow March 17th. So that Papa Danbala may rain blessings, luck, health and prosperity upon you.
At my house, my family will be doing a small service for Danbala. We will give him his offerings and do a small candle illumination.

Sevis Tet
Lave Tet Ceremonies
July 10th-13th
Many of you have been emailing me asking when the next Lave Tet will be held. The next Lave Tet will be held July 10th- 13th. There are a few spaces left available, and if you are interested you can email me at luxurious_08332@yahoo.com
The Lave Tet is a spiritually cleansing and uplifting ceremony. Many undergo it for that purpose. Though in many lineages, it is the first level of initiation, in which certain special ceremonies are included. Some lineages, especially in the north, refer to it as a Sevis Tet when done for initiation purposes.
If you are considering initiation or may need a heavy, intense spiritual cleansing, fortification, and alignment . . . the Lave Tet/Sevis may be just the medicine you need. Read more about the Lave Tet here:

Feast of St. Patrick
March 17th
Danbala Wedo
In Haitian Vodou, Danbala is the Holy of Holies. He is the tabernacle. This is the reason why Danbala is the most sacred of all the Lwa. He is a divine Mystery that can be approached by anyone yet few are given access to his inner mysteries.
He comes in the form of the great serpent. Those who have Danbala often dream of him and many have a deathly fear of snakes. If you are Danbala’s child, you should pay special attention on this day and give him a special service.
He bestows wisdom and peace. With these two things, anything can be achieved. He is a very patient Lwa. He is the father of all the Lwa. In Vodou, March 17th is his feast day. St. Patrick is the most commonly associated image with Danbala.
Older lineages, such as Gade Nou Leve, use Moses to represent Danbala Wedo. His feast though is still celebrated on the 17th of March. This is because the Catholic church does not consider Moses a Saint, thus he has no feast day.
Due to the above, it is said all Vodouisants must serve Danbala to a certain extent. Greater homage and service is expected of initiates on his holy day. But if you are a Vodouisant, who is not his child or initiated, you can do the following:
On Danbala’s day dress in white. Put a white banner (piece of cloth) inside your home. Make sure your home is spotless. Then clean it out with Frankincense. At 7 pm, light a small white candle. Pray the Our Father, Hail Mary, The Creed three times. Then talk with Danbala Wedo, the Great Serpent.

Cleansing Your Home
By Houngan Hector
Spring is just about upon us. Spring cleaning? Generally, spring time is a time when just about everyone goes into a deep cleaning frenzy. And for good reason too! It is time to get rid of the old so that you can have space for the new.
After cleansing the house physically, lets not forget cleansing it spiritually. If you have not already done the major house cleansing and protection, here are the instructions on our site free . . .
If you have already done this, then here is a simpler version that you can do for this time of year.
Take a coconut and roll it around your home from the back going forward. As you do this, pray that the coconut absorbs all the negativity within the home. When you arrive to the front door kick it out the door and slam it. This will serve to get rid of all the negativity.
Then take yellow cornmeal. Using your left hand, sprinkle the cornmeal all around your home praying for success, prosperity, luck and everything good. Light a yellow candle in a fire safe candle holder behind the front door. Make your prayers for everything good to come into your home.
The next day, you will take the coconut to a quiet crossroads. Make sure there is no traffic and it is safe. Throw it up in the air as high as you can. Turn around right away and run. Do not look back.
When you arrive home, don’t forget to cleanse yourself spiritually. Here are FREE instructions for one you can do yourself here:
