I had a wonderful time with Damballah and Ayida Ouedo recently. When they are there, it is like being caressed by silk. While these powerful lwa are all about patience and peace, they have some lively, terrific songs to honor them! I enjoyed singing for them and listening to some songs that honor them.
One song that I feel is particularly appropriate (and really enjoyed sharing) was Patti LaBelle’s version of Over the Rainbow. Ayida is represented by the rainbow- the beauty and soaring heights of this rendition always make me think of her!
Speaking of music, we will be honoring Baron Samedi and Maman Brigitte with live music in our free upcoming prayer ritual to them next Thursday, 10/24! It is open for anyone to attend and is a great way to get in the spirit of Fet Ghede!
