Nothing is predestined:
The obstacles of your past can become the gateways that lead to new beginnings.

February is Erzulie Freda Month!
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 [email protected] 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!
Light and Love

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!

New Beginnings......it's never too late.
Happy 2009! With the Inauguration earlier this week, and so much talk on the tv and news and web about reinventing America, about banding together and helping each other, it really got me thinking about new beginnings and what that means to me.
The more and more I thought about it, I dont believe its EVER too late for a new beginning, to begin reinventing oneself, to head for a path full of light rather than dark. Sometimes I have been stuck in quite a funk, or a rut, or what have you, just like many of the people that write me (Believe me when I tell you I HAVE been where you are, and I do know what you are going thru!). This time of year is especially bad, as it is when we often see New Years Resolutions go by the wayside, the days are short, and in many areas, the weather is bad. It can be a very low time for people. And the whole Resolution gig - who came up with that? Not anyone who lived in today's chaotic world!
After surfing the net a bit, I came across the idea of something called a Personal Mission Statement. Some of you business-minded folks might know about Mission Statements as they relate to businesses and corporations. Well, a Personal Mission Statement isn't all that much different. It is a mission statement, or collection of affirmations about how you want to live your life. What values guide you? What long term goals do you desire? Think of a personal mission statement as a new years resolution that you have a lifetime to work towards - that if you stray from your path, the next day you get up and dust yourself off and turn your compass back towards your mission statement.
Over the next few blogs, I will go over the steps to writing a personal mission statement, and if you have any questions, please do post them in the comments. You can even post your results after each step if you like ;-) I think that would be encouraging to others as well! I am really looking forward to this process, and I hope you enjoy it.
On a side note - those of you with the Winter doldrums have no fear -- February is coming! I know, I know, I hear you, February is still Winter....... BUT it is also the month of the Spellmaker Family month long ritual to Erzulie Freda! And that ALWAYS warms things up where ever you may be! Keep your eyes pealed for an email from Mambo Sam about Erzulie Fest 2009!
