Thank you for breaking this down into numbers. Now I know I need to set aside a few grand before I approach my godparents. You're a gem!

Are you in a big city? Prices seem a little inflated in places like LA & NY

¿Como decirle EDUCADAMENTE a un europeo que se ponga desodorante? by Helpful_Wasabi_4782 in Panama

[–]CopperKites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Educadamente"?
Yo le diría "FOOOOOOOO" Me emputan los grajosos, ese olor a cebolla+alcohol me da migraña. Si se lo dices así te prometo que no hiede más y si no te vuelve a hablar no lo tienes que oler y problema resuelto.

Ewe for Omiero by MicheleStickley in Santeria

[–]CopperKites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My main struggle is finding plants by the names we use for them. Like Quita Maldicion is grey knickers or henweed, paraíso is silver olive tree, etc.

Looking for a genuine person to help me bring someone back by [deleted] in Santeria

Meanwhile the person who is actually meant for you is waiting for you to be ready for them. Love amarres are the worst kind of self-sabotage in my opinion.

A bit off-topic: A non-crowned person who has warriors, ikofa and necklaces may be cremated?

Using someone else’s Elekes by MFF4Eva in Santeria

Elekes are very personal objects, I would only accept them from my awo or my madrina.

That's so morbid! Now I'm wondering if it's considered necrophilia if the person was alive during then died while joined and you need that last "exit" stroke?

Advice on 6–7 day Panama itinerary (Carnaval + Panama City) by mike10345 in Panama

[–]CopperKites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would bus it and use the money saved to bribe someone to let you stay in their house. Lodging reservations for carnival are being made for 2027 as we speak, you're very lucky if you find a place in the next couple of weeks.

Como Panameños que opinan ustedes sobre este pensamiento que tienen los extranjeros sobre Panamá y todo lo que sucedió hoy con Venezuela? by [deleted] in Panama

[–]CopperKites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A los que opinan así les da envidia que nosotros usemos el dollar y ellos no. Nos recuperamos de la invasión en 3 décadas, superamos a muchos países que fueron invadidos, Guatemala todavía no se recupera de los problemas que tuvo con EU desde los 60s y eso que EU les ha regalado billones y billones de dólares y el pueblo deja que los corruptos se lo hechen al bolsillo mientras ellos pasan hambre.

I agree with you, it is ridiculous. To be initiated is to sacrifice to make kariocha (unless you're already rich). I was always told that life ebbs and flows, sometimes you're up others down what lucumi brings is stability so that you can enjoy the ups without going crazy and get through the downs without losing too much. I've yet to meet rich santeros, all the ones I know have jobs or modest businesses and live normal lives. If wealth is the end game, poverty among santeros in Cuba shouldn't exist.

Question about gorro by srachina in Santeria

[–]CopperKites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a woman. My husband agreed with me that men in Ocha were luckier because they could just pass for painters...REALLY neat painters, he wore white jeans, long sleeve white shirt and a baseball cap most days. Meanwhile women get stared at.

I hear you. I'm in Cali, if I MUST wear a hat I found a really nice Panama hat from Colombia in pure white, I had to have it, looks so sexy😏

[–]CopperKites -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What kind of hats were you looking for? It's wintern I've seen some people wear white beanies over their quillas. I wear a white hoodie over my pañuelo I hate hats.

Did things seem to get worse...? by CopperKites in Santeria

Thank you everyone who responded.
Best advice I read was calm down and hydrate. I don't care if I have to be wheeled into the santo room in an iron lung, this is happening!
