    Lovehands

      Hey There!

    Well, its nearly February again, and Marran Sam's New Orlean's Voodoo Family is gearing up for its annual month long ritual to the most beloved love lwa, Erzulie Freda. Past years  have been very rewarding and sucessful, and we very much look forward to this year's riitual!

    This is a totally free ritual – anyone can send in a request to erzulie@spellmaker.com No purchase is required to participate. This year, Mambo Sam has written up some instructions for people who would like to participate as well, but again, no purchase is necessary. There is a ritual kit available along the lines of the one crafted for the Sobo ritual done not so long ago, for people who are interested.

    Please see Erzulie's Page  for LOTS of information about Erzulie, products dedicated especially to her, the one time ritual pack, and also instructions for the ritual itself. 

    Wishing you all a very happy February!

  • 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!

    Order yours today!

    Light and Love

  • 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 πŸ˜‰

    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!

  • Happy Fall, Y’all!

    Happy Fall, Everyone! Hope you all get to go out and enjoy the autumn sun and the falling leaves and cider and candy apples and pumpkin picking and all that great stuff that goes along with time of the year πŸ˜‰

    Leaves
    by Elsie Brady

                            How silently they tumble down


                            And come to rest upon the ground


                            To lay a carpet, rich and rare,


                            Beneath the trees without a care,


                            Content to sleep, their work well done,


                            Colors gleaming in the sun.

                         

                         

     

                         

                            At other times, they wildly fly


                            Until they nearly reach the sky.


                            Twisting, turning through the air


                            Till all the trees stand stark and bare.


                            Exhausted, drop to earth below



                            To wait, like children, for the snow.
