Cookies are medicine!
I have suspected so for a while, but now I know it for a fact! Cookies are medicine! Well, not all cookies, but THESE cookies sure are, um, I mean were. This is a photo of some cookies made by and sent to me by my mother, Mambo Sam. These cookies were very very special, and they certainly helped me feel much better. Thank you, MaMere. You can see other photos of Mambo's yummy creations here.
Love,

New Photo Album.
Hi there!
Here is a new photo album I posted of some photos from my local cemetery. It may sound a bit weird, I know. But the cemetary is quite old, and has been active for more than 250 years! Stones and markers vary greatly, and I really found some of them interesting. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, so I hope you enjoy!
Love,
Sister Bridget
This photo is from HIghgate Cemetary in England, not where I live…I could not resist the dog on the stone. though. -

We Shall Overcome
Hi there!
This is one of my favorite songs. Full of strength, courage and determination. Very much like Ogoun! To me it has always seemed like singing a prayer 🙂 It is one of the songs that is always on my ipod. I was reading a little about the history of this song, and I found it very interesting. An old folk song, "We'll Overcome Someday" was written as a hymn in 1901 by Rev. Charles Tindley, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In the 1950's the song was sung on picket lines of striking tobacco union workers across the South. Shortly thereafter, the first recorded version was heard, under the name "We Will Overcome" and was still considered a Spiritual song. The song was also popular during the civil rights movement, having been incorportated into Dr Martin Luther King Jr's last speech. Robert F. Kennedy sang the song while touring South Africa speaking to anti-apartheid crowds in 1966. There are many more stories of this song being sung in times when strength and determination was needed. These are just a few. Now, this song is sung in many contries, and in many different languages. My favorite version is Springsteen's, which he sung at the benefit following the earthquakes in Haiti.
We Shall Overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayWe'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We'll walk hand in hand some dayHere we are not afraid
We are not afraid
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayDarling, here in my heart
I do believe
We shall overcome some dayHere we shall overcome some day.

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them — every day begin the task anew.

Voodoo Wares – Papa Loko Apron!
Here are some photos of my apron for Papa Loko made by Mambo Sam and her mother in law, Eileen.
Each apron I get is beautiful! I can not pick a favorite!
Once you order your apron of choice, a collaborative effort between Mambo Sam and her mother-in-law, Eileen, begins. Mambo Sam will personally choose the material pattern, colors, and decorative touches of your apron and scarf. She will consecrate the material and bless all parts/decorations, etc. Eileen works her magick with her professional sewing skills! Once the apron/scarf set is complete, Mambo will then again take the apron and this time she will dedicate it to the lwa that you have chosen.
