What I meant wa...I'm sorry I was unclear, Anon. What I meant was that seeing The Baron does not always mean that one will die - in my opinion. He may be trying to let you know that something in your life is going to change. Perhaps he has chosen you in particular to study him further and listen to him. It is unfortunately hard to know what any of the lwa specifically want from us until we open ourselves up to them. And that can be a long a sometimes intimidating process. You might consider visiting some of the websites on my sidebar. The Lucky Mojo website in particular is full of information about all types of spirit lore. Another good resource is the books by Sally Anne Glassman, a vodou priestess in New Orleans. Check her website at http://islandofsalvationbotanica.com/ for more information.<br /><br />I hope this helps you. Please do not despair. The spirits generally do not call us to harm us. It is usually the other way around - they knock us on the head when we don't call them back.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-58792607334985972022016-09-12T19:05:40.260-08:002016-09-12T19:05:40.260-08:00I don't understand what that meansI don't understand what that means Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-72215651601268114382016-09-09T06:52:37.286-08:002016-09-09T06:52:37.286-08:00What does that meanWhat does that meanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-30407919645555563282016-09-09T06:37:26.807-08:002016-09-09T06:37:26.807-08:00What does that mean PaulineWhat does that mean PaulineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-26451236326117016582016-09-08T12:39:46.482-08:002016-09-08T12:39:46.482-08:00Hello Unknown - I personally do not believe so.

I'm scared of being labeled as an adulteress if I marry them. Why can't they just stay with their spouses instead of picking humans to marry them? It's not right on their part.TornadoRoc_09201990_SGT3https://www.blogger.com/profile/08034276948032233901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-71213371686816203452016-06-19T09:28:13.243-08:002016-06-19T09:28:13.243-08:00Thanks for the post!

I have wanted a way to honor my ancestors instead of just acknowledging them. Things have happened in my life that I have no doubt that spirits of my ancestors have had a hand in the events. After those events, I acknowledge and thank them but it doesn't feel adequate. I'm sure that the daily ritual will convey how much they really mean to me. I've always known that I am never truly alone.

I wonder if there was some crossover of cultures (how I don't know) between Reunion Island and Louisiana? Reunion Island also has Gris-Gris and also seems to venerate St Anthony of Padua who I understand is also important in Louisiana / New Orleans?WalkaboutandWhittleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499687521674363515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-60720468242836199992015-01-12T00:17:37.720-09:002015-01-12T00:17:37.720-09:00I had a dream about baron samedi standing in front...I had a dream about baron samedi standing in front of an alter so I was wondering what that meant?

Where did you get this?<br />First of all bokor is not pronounced Bawkaw but Bôkôr (o's and rolling R)...<br />Second, sure Marinette Bwa Chech is also used by Bokor, like many of the other lwa's.<br />But it's not as black and white as you write.<br /><br />I severely doubt that you could ever get Marinette to 'bind someone in blind love' as she is a lwa who frees people from bondage. She was an important manbo at the Boukman ceremony that jumpstarted the revolution. She started the reverence for Dantor. <br /><br />Marinette is mentioned in the hounfor I frequent with no crossing of fingers or hushed tones. Actually all this about her being a scary figure and woohoo is not part of her story here at all. Mind, she is not Marinette Bwa Chech, she is Marinette, not seen as an owl. She is a shy lwa (ie. hard to get to see). There are other derivations of her, and personalities in the Marinette. These can be harder.<br /><br />She can maybe be an aggressive lwa, like many other bossou, Dantor etc. But like the rest, you don't have to utilise these aspects.<br /><br />"Even devout Haitian Protestants, who claim no affinity for Voudon, will not speak of her."<br />... SURE! But protestants in Haiti don't say they DON'T believe in vodou, they just believe that vodou is devil worship, ie. the WRONG worship. (but they sure believe in the so-called devils!). Protestants in Haiti will not speak of ANY lwa if they can get around it. They'd rather make the sign of the cross and go the other way... Nothing special regarding Marinette there..<br /><br />..... So many weird truths on the internet. Most originating in the US from some weird fantasies and such. Just google Bawon Samedi and look at the pictures! I think many people would benefit from just going to Haiti and seeing for themselves.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623011173876282114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-36329017859959044302014-07-08T09:18:29.920-08:002014-07-08T09:18:29.920-08:00Thank you St. Expedite for bringing me someone who...Thank you St. Expedite for bringing me someone who cares for me deeply.

I am not a fan of, nor would I ever recommend, the new-age re-imaginings of traditional texts, especially when they are readily available. Pow-wow is simply Gemanic folk magic in as much as Hoodoo is American folk magic. In Iceland it is called "trolldom" and the practitioners "trollkarls" while the Anglo-Saxon (English) variation was originally known as "wicce" (pronounced WEE-ch) from whence the word "wicca" is derived. It means, literally, "witch" not "wise women" or "old ways" and it is due to this kind of misinformation I cannot in good conscience recommend writings like those of "Ravenwolf"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238253279717422937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-59783321735354283372013-09-15T09:57:06.418-08:002013-09-15T09:57:06.418-08:00Glad to hear that it is working for you, Pauline!Glad to hear that it is working for you, Pauline!Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6880727956547669971.post-77775908347209104602013-09-15T06:57:19.103-08:002013-09-15T06:57:19.103-08:00That's you, "flying through the air with ...That's you, "flying through the air with the greatest of ease?"
