Getting Ready for Fet Ghede

Hello everyone!  It is getting to be Fet Ghede time!  Fet Ghede is the time of year when Vodouisants celebrate their "new year" festitivities.   It is considered a time of paying off old debts, starting fresh, and planning for the upcoming year.

Visiting cemeteries to clean the grave of ancestors and doing ancestral feasts is also a part of this tradition.  It is a time for partying, though, not mourning and grieving.  It is a time of celebrating not only our past but, more importantly, our future. 

If you are attending my online chat classes then you know we are planning a ritual together on November 2, Fet Ghede!  I hope to see you all there!  (Thank you, Bridget, for the cool graphic!)
