9 Facts you should know about Papa Alegba- by Khouzhan Morgan
Hello dear readers!! Welcome to the month of June, or what we in the Spellmaker family call “Papa Legba month!!”
As summer begins in full swing, we celebrate 3 days in June to honor our beloved Papa Alegba. If you are not familiar with Papa, well-its time you got to know him!
1. Papa is a gentle soul, yet enormously powerful, and making a service to him is quite simple!! Just a glass of water and a white candle can be used. Papa also loves coffee, coconut anything, candy (the more kid friendly, the better) and pennies!!
2. Papa’s number is three, so using offerings in sets of three is especially pleasing to him!!
3. Papa speaks all languages and can help your communication to get through clearly. Whether that communication is with your significant other, your work colleagues or anyone else you encounter, Papa can help them understand what you are saying to them!
4. Papa Alegba is wonderful at helping us get back things that were lost- your love, your pet, or even your car keys!!
5. Speaking of keys, Papa loves them!! He also loves canes, crutches, and toys.
6. Papa’s traditional day is Monday, but you can make service to him any day of the week!!
7. Papa is great at helping you make a choice or a decision. He is the spirit of the Crossroads and he will help guide your way.
8. Papa Alegba is called upon at the beginning of every voodoo service to “open the gate” so we can speak to the other lwa, and he is thanked at the end of the service and asked to close the gate to the spirit realm.
9. Papa, above all, LOVES to help. He is big, bright and benevolent-so give Papa a shout out today!! To see Papas page for products and even more information on him click here: https://www.spellmaker.com/legba.htm
