Papa Gede Limbo Lakwa is represented by an image of St. Expedite. Today is St. Expedite’s Feast Day. Today, Caballos of the 21 Divisiones will serve Papa Gede Limbo Lakwa by giving him his food, his candles, his coffee, and his gin.

St. Expedite is known all over the world for his miraculous abilities to get things accomplished . . . . and quickly. He is world reknowned! He is also well known for his ability to shower money onto people. His ability to send other dead to an enemy, read one’s fortune, get people out of jail quickly and much more. It’s no suprise he is associated with Papa Gede.

If Papa Gede walks with you, don’t forget him tonite!

Gotta run myself . . . . got a Gede service to do.

Papa Gede

Kouzen is often served with Kleren. He is also given coffee. However, initiates at GNL Sosyete are taught how to make Kouzen’s very special trempe. A trempe is an alcoholic beverage with herbs steeped within it, that is made as a drink for a Lwa.

Kouzen is well known for his knowledge of working with herbs and plants.

This special drink is made and offered to Kouzen. It also has several secretive magical and healing uses.

During Djouba service, we also change the styles of dancing. In fact, Djouba dancing is very particular and specific to it’s nation. There is no way to confuse it with any other. During djouba, people graze their feet across the ground and hop. Some say this hop comes from native Taino spiritual dances.

In some Sosyetes, they play a special set of instruments for Kouzen Fetes.

Azaka is a farmer. Just like an old time farmer, Kouzen is constantly working. Thus he is known as a Lwa Travay. Many Houngans and Mambos work with Kouzen for their clients and to do consultations.

The Djouba nation, which he belongs to as well as leads, is served slightly differently. During a fete, at this time, the Houngan or Mambo will switch from Asson to Tcha Tcha and from white candle to bouji. . . . . . . . .

Keep up with the blog as we continue to discuss Kouzen Zaka

Kouzen Zaka is a Lwa of the Djouba nation. Many individuals, mistakenly, think that he is a Rada Lwa. Rather, he is actually a member of the Djouba nation. This nation holds the secrets and mysteries of the Indians, the Tainos and Arawak Indians indigenous to the island.

Djouba is served right after Rada and right before the Nagos.

Friday morning I had started to clean up the altar a bit, and in the course of doing such, I picked up a bottle that belonged to Ogou Feray.

Whew! As soon as I picked up the bottle, the enormous wave of his spiritual energy hit me. It made me dizzy, or saoule, as it is refferred to in the Vodou tradition. I had to rest my arm on the wall and slowly slide down into a chair.

It was so intense, I quickly yelled out to my wife, for fear of becoming possessed suddenly. She ran up quickly and using the secret techniques of initiates was able to calm Feray and have him let me go and not mount.

Feray had a message that day. When I regained control, I heard him yelling it out loudly. In this time, in this hour, many are in need of a Spiritual Warrior. Many have lost hope, are hurting, and feel powerless against the negative spiritual forces that try to stop one’s progress.

Ogou Feray will be able to help and assist us in fighting these battles. You can see for yourself. Many are out of work. Thousands are suffering. Sickness is in the land. And things seem to continue to get worse.

But . . . . there is hope. Met Feray is going to help his children rise. They will find. They will prosper. They will fly. He will fight the wicked, destroy the enemy, and bring unfading victory . . . .

Master of the Machete, he will use his machete and cut through any obstacles that lie in your way. He will fight your battles and win. He will find you work. He is reminding the Vodouisants, everywhere, that today is not the end.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Ogou Feray is an extremely fierce spiritual force. His abilitiy, strength, and forcefulness is awesome, intense and jaw dropping. He is best known for being a skilled warrior or soldier, though Met Feray can do just about anything.

If he is with you, you need not worry about anything coming against you. He is a very hot Nago Lwa, and we often refer to him as ‘Kok’. Kok means a fighting rooster. When Feray arrives to a party, he pick at people until he gets them possessed. Always looking for a fight and excitement, Feray is an excellent spiritual protector.

Vodou Spiritual Tip-
Remove Wax Effortlessly from your service plates

When burning candles on plates, here is the easiest way to make your plates easy to clean afterwards:

1. Melt the bottom of the candle and stick it to the plate
2. Take a small amount of Virgin Olive Oil and annoint the candle.
3. Place a thin layer of olive oil on all areas of the plate
4. Burn your candle

When you are finished, the oil will allow the wax remnants to slide right off.

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

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.

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!

Luck
Houngan Hector
