    Papa Legba lyrics

    (Talking Heads Version)

    You'll be, hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm, magnet for money
    You'll be, mm-mm-mm-mm, magnet for love
    You'll feel, hmm, light in your body
    Now I'm gonna say, gonna say these words:
    Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
    Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
    It might hmm-mmm-mm-mm…It might rain money
    It might hm-hi-hi-hi…It might rain fire
    Now I'm gonna call,
    Gonna call on Legba.
    Get yourself a sign
    Get your love and desire.
    Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
    Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempou
    Papa Legba,
    Come and open the gate.
    Papa Legba,
    To the city of camps.
    Now, we're your children
    Come and ride your horse
    In the night
    In the night
    Come and ride your horse
    There is a queen
    Of six sevens and nines
    Dust in your garden
    Poison in your mind
    There is a king
    That will steal your soul
    Din't let him catch you,
    Don't let him get control.
    Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
    Rompiendo la monotonia del tiempo
    Papa Legba,
    Come and open the gate
    Papa Legba,
    To the city of camps
    Now, we're your children
    Come and ride your horse
    In the night
    In the night, come and ride your horse
    In the night
    In the night, come and ride your horse
    In the night
    In the night, come and ride your horse

  • Still I Rise.

    Perseverance seems to be a theme near and dear to me lately. When I came across this poem by Maya Angelou, it really spoke to me….I hope you find some inspiration in it as well.

    Still I Rise

    by Maya Angelou

    You may write me down in history
    With your bitter, twisted lies,
    You may trod me in the very dirt
    But still, like dust, I'll rise.

    Does my sassiness upset you?
    Why are you beset with gloom?
    'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
    Pumping in my living room.

    Just like moons and like suns,
    With the certainty of tides,
    Just like hopes springing high,
    Still I'll rise.

    Did you want to see me broken?
    Bowed head and lowered eyes?
    Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
    Weakened by my soulful cries.

    Does my haughtiness offend you?
    Don't you take it awful hard
    'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
    Diggin' in my own back yard.

    You may shoot me with your words,
    You may cut me with your eyes,
    You may kill me with your hatefulness,
    But still, like air, I'll rise.

    Does my sexiness upset you?
    Does it come as a surprise
    That I dance like I've got diamonds
    At the meeting of my thighs?

    Out of the huts of history's shame
    I rise
    Up from a past that's rooted in pain
    I rise
    I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
    Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
    Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
    I rise
    Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
    I rise
    Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
    I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
    I rise

    I rise. I rise.

  • Phrasing Questions for Tarot.

    Hi There!

    For sure, we
    when coming into a reading, as a client you will have things you desire
    clarification on.  Knowing how to phrase
    questions well will help you get the most possible benefit from your reading.
    Here are some basic guidelines.

    The Tarot
    will give you an overview of a situation and let you know what will happen if
    you choose to either do nothing and continue the way you are going, or take
    another path. The tarot itself is more about insight and guidance that black
    and white answers. Open ended questions seem to work best.  Here are some examples:

    Can you give me insight into …

    What do I need to understand about …

    What is the meaning of …

    What is the lesson or purpose of …

    What are the circumstances underlying …

    How can I improve my chances of …

    How might I …

    What do I need to know about . . . ?

    What internal and external influences are affecting my goal
    to…?

    What is the next step I need to take to achieve . . . ?

    What is standing in the way of my . . . ?

    How can I best overcome the obstacle of . . . ?

    How can I be a better . . . ?

    Which is the best choice between . . . ?

    Asking closed
    ended questions limits the scope of advice that the cards can lend.  Yes and No questions can be asked, but that
    then leaves us asking yet another question about what to do next.  The cards themselves do not give specific
    names, places or dates.  Although,
    general time frames can be interpreted by a skilled reader 😉 (We can address timelines
    in another post!) And always, if you are having trouble framing a
    question,  just describe what it is you
    wish to know about, what information you are seeking, and we can work together
    on phrasing your question. No worries!

    Keep in mind
    that there are always challenges and obstacles in life and the Tarot never
    gives an inevitable outcome but, rather, a possible
    one based on the circumstances presently surrounding your question.  R    eadings of any kind should be used as a tool to help you in
    deciding what to do next, what you can work towards changing, and what you
    decide to accept as your destiny.  In other words, if you get a reading
    that doesn't seem particularly good, what can you do to change that? 
    If you couldn't potentially change your future, then we at Spellmaker wouldn’t
    be here working so hard for you and with you!

    Light and Love
