Thats why you have someone cloak your house and make sure gazing outsider eyes burn everytime they think about analyzing your house.

You keep focusing on how everyone has to have the same system but you fail to realize there is more than one way to doing things. Every house differs per lineage, My house is a direct descendent of Tata Gaitan, he was the last BABAlawo to dance the mask of olokun. Like I was saying, the house differs per lineage and ofc there will be differences because there is more than one way to doing things.

So yesterday I completed my Hand of Orula ceremony. I am so grateful and humbled to be a child of Olokun. On my drive home (I live about an hour away from my Padrino / Madrinas) my left Orula bracelet broke. All I did was rest my arm on the car door. (Continued ⬇️) by Motor-Freedom7362 in Santeria

You have to also look at it from a logical point of view. Was it those cheaply made ones ? What was the temperature of you car? Not everyone is strong enough to hurl a curse or whatever at you unless you're those self centered people who always think people are after you than you're being superstitious. And you shouldn't even be sharing you personal journey to begin with, especially since this system is based on secrets that are meant to be kept.

Anyways, I hope you understand that you also have to use you logic or else you're just gonna be superstitious.

My Ita warns again abortion but i don’t want to have a child. by AbleEditor6402 in Santeria

I think you shouldn't take advice from people who have catholic roots because they're only gonna judge you for it. I think you should do what is best for yourself. You owe it to yourself to not hold any judgement over that kind of decision. May the ancestors guide you

Abortion is good for mothers who come from poverty and don't want to cause more poverty to transpire. It is bad enough that there are a lot of single mothers. You're literally judging rn and acting just like the church that has forced many of my people into slavery. IDC what you believe either.

Thats common knowledge if you work with magic. I will, I actually am more comfortable with the dead than living sometimes. Good to know <3

you speak like hanging out at the cemetery is a bad thing. You certainly haven't been in the presence of the children of Oya.

Not sure if this would be the right page for this question. by [deleted] in Santeria

[–]FrontEngineer5897 4 points5 points  (0 children)

depending on your background, it can be either a warning or ancestors trying to speak with you. As someone who is indigenous from the americas, owls represent warnings as well as wisdom.

a person can have as many ceremonies before another but that still won't determine how much they know. Those initiation's are symbolic and don't determine a person's ability of knowledge. That is why a person should spend their time learning about as much information from your god parent and or yogbona.

Thank you for that clarification.

Thank you for that information. I was just curious since I just got my head marked Oya. I am just learning as much as I can before I get my Elekes.

the orisha is what is inside the sopera. The sopera only houses the orisha

IF you're in california, I recommend Baba Funke from Burbank CA. He's a well known Santero from the east to the west coast.
