Knock Knock – Guess Who is Here!
That's Right! The Papa Legba Ritual Pack is finished and ready to ship! From what I hear, Legba was VERY meticulous about what and how he wanted things to be – JUST PERFECT of course!
Because we so often call upon Papa Alegba to help us with our communication with other lwa, we might almost forget to call upon his own great abilities to help us. Have a path that seems blocked to you? Doors won't open for you? Having troubling making someone you love understand what you want? Stuck at your own crossroads of life and don't know which way to turn? Our dear Papa is there for that and so much more! Few other lwa can offer as much comfort and understanding as Papa. His shoulder is there for us to cry upon; his arms welcome those who need safe haven. Few things are as satisfying spiritually as spending an evening doing a great service to Papa Alegba!
Mambo and Matt have put together a wonderful Ritual and Service package dedicated to Papa. This package not only includes instructions for a full authentic ritual, but also includes candles, special oil and incense developed on the point of and under the direction of Papa Alegba through Mambo Sam, veve, picture, and a number of unique and wonderful sacred items that have been dedicated and consecrated to Papa. Once you have this, you can do the ritual to Papa over and over again! There will be no need to purchase this package again. The ritual will be yours to use and you need only replace the oil, incense, and candles as needed!

New Beginnings……it’s never too late.
Happy 2009! With the Inauguration earlier this week, and so much talk on the tv and news and web about reinventing America, about banding together and helping each other, it really got me thinking about new beginnings and what that means to me.The more and more I thought about it, I dont believe its EVER too late for a new beginning, to begin reinventing oneself, to head for a path full of light rather than dark. Sometimes I have been stuck in quite a funk, or a rut, or what have you, just like many of the people that write me (Believe me when I tell you I HAVE been where you are, and I do know what you are going thru!). This time of year is especially bad, as it is when we often see New Years Resolutions go by the wayside, the days are short, and in many areas, the weather is bad. It can be a very low time for people. And the whole Resolution gig – who came up with that? Not anyone who lived in today's chaotic world!
After surfing the net a bit, I came across the idea of something called a Personal Mission Statement. Some of you business-minded folks might know about Mission Statements as they relate to businesses and corporations. Well, a Personal Mission Statement isn't all that much different. It is a mission statement, or collection of affirmations about how you want to live your life. What values guide you? What long term goals do you desire? Think of a personal mission statement as a new years resolution that you have a lifetime to work towards – that if you stray from your path, the next day you get up and dust yourself off and turn your compass back towards your mission statement.
Over the next few blogs, I will go over the steps to writing a personal mission statement, and if you have any questions, please do post them in the comments. You can even post your results after each step if you like 😉 I think that would be encouraging to others as well! I am really looking forward to this process, and I hope you enjoy it.
On a side note – those of you with the Winter doldrums have no fear — February is coming! I know, I know, I hear you, February is still Winter……. BUT it is also the month of the Spellmaker Family month long ritual to Erzulie Freda! And that ALWAYS warms things up where ever you may be! Keep your eyes pealed for an email from Mambo Sam about Erzulie Fest 2009!

Winter Solstice!
Hey Gang!
Well, Happy Winter, Happy Solstice! Finally, the days begin to become longer again! Do any of you have any special traditions for this day? If you do, I would love to hear about them, Please post a comment below, and we can get a little conversation going about this special time of the year! I personally go out and collect all my bird feeders, wash them out, clean them up, repair if needed, and fill them up right full with fresh, wonderful seeds. I also get my suet feeder out, and fill that as well. If I need to, I run down to the hardware store and get enough bird seed and suet to last me a while. Gotta take care of those little birdies!
I found this poem about Solstice that I wanted to share with you all 😉

Winter Wishes
by Ray Cruz
Let the first snow of winter
Cleanse the wounds in your heart
From conflicts and hardships of the year.Let the heavenly showers
Clear the air and freshen your view
Of the world around you.Let the brisk sounds and scenes
Of the holiday season
Pace the rhythm of your step.Let your soul be uplifted
With the sparkle of children
Enjoying the surprises of winter’s antics.Let your heart be filled
With the peace of an infant's succor
From her mother's breast.Let peace in your heart
Free you from doubts and fears
And spread your warm feelings to those near to you.Let peace in your heart
Open the door to love
And reveal the true delights of the human experience.Let there be peace on earth,
The purest peace of innocence,
And let it be born in your heart. -

How I spent my Saturday Afternoon.
Happy Saturday!
So, after doing the usual mundane stuff this morning, I decided to refresh a couple of my altar spaces. Both Agwe and Gran Bwa have kinda been asking for "more space" in odd ways, so today was the day I decided to make that happen. I have posted 2 new picures in my photo album. Go take a peek!
Also, just 2 days remaining for the tarot reading special! Most of next week is booked up, but there are a few slots open for next weekend, just before the big Sobo Prosperity and Security Ritual. Dont forget to send in your email with your petition for this free ritual for all by Mambo Sam's New Orleans Voodoo Family!
