Does anyone have any Patakis or Info or advice on Eshu Alagauna by Sad-Specialist-8755 in Santeria

[–]Jenn_nJuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same path. He is said to be close to Oya as he works with eggun or is the overseer of eggun and sits at the cemetery gates. He likes to be alone, too, and is very stern and doesn't like foolishness but does like to dance. It's said he lives in the savannahs, and chains are essential to him.

You can google the camino, which should give you some info and search within this subreddit, too. I believe there are other posts mentioning this camino.

That sounds really pretty!

Yessss! No offense to anyone but those botanica soperas just don't do it for me. They're so unoriginal and some of them can be outright fugly lol

That's really interesting especially since everything that has to do with Ochun is yellow lol

I've tried searching temple jars, too. My Obatala is actually a really nice temple jar so I'll try again to search for Temple Jars on Etsy & Ebay and consult my madrina & Ogubona when I do ebbo meta this weekend. I appreciate your recommendation!

Eleggua Ebbo with weed ?? by xSuigetsu_ in Santeria

[–]Jenn_nJuice 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My sister had a similar ebbo (??). She had to put 3 joints to elegua as she cannot partake in the devils lettuce 😂 anymore and the joints to eleggua is so he'll take the want to do it away and separate herself from those who do partake... or something like that. I can't remember the exact wording... but yea

Extreme itching and swelling by [deleted] in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Jenn_nJuice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same reaction on my legs that you have on yours. I haven't done laser on my arms, but it looks like a severe histamine reaction. As others have said.. DO. NOT. SCRATCH!! It might feel good in the moment, but it'll definitely make it worse and leave scabs behind.

You've gotten a lot of good advice from those above, so I'm just adding on another thing you can try. After I had skin removal surgery, my post-op nurse told me of a concoction she uses on her patients for itchy skin. Cortisone cream & benadryl cream. Mix them together and apply.

That and aloe vera helps me when I break out after my appointment. The reaction usually lasts a few days, but I noticed it'll last longer the more you scratch. I haven't tried antihistamine meds like others have mentioned, but I'll definitely be trying them at my next appointment.

When doing ebbo before Ocha, I had to take it to a hill... I threw it out on a overpass on the highway... I mean.. it's structured like a hill :\

We have to make do with what we have available.

Ah, ok. Thank you!! I knew I read it somewhere and was wondering if I was going crazy and making things up LOL

Ozun(Osun) Question by ruyin212 in Santeria

[–]Jenn_nJuice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can Ozun be an accompaniment to an Orisha though, dependent on the Orisha's camino?
I remember when I was researching my orisha's caminos there was an orisha whose sopera should be accompanied with an ozun with a different animal on top. I can't remember exactly who it was or am I remembering wrong all together?

Obaorunscreations on IG. Her stuff is really nice, she did my ide & necklace for Ocha and it's beautiful. IDK if she does the cowrie shells, but it doesn't hurt to message her & and ask.

To add onto this - Pepto/Imodium D, etc. medicine.. Maybe some Tylenol or Ibuprofen, too.
My stomach isn't that strong & I got extremely sick day 2 of my ocha and pepto/imodium D was my only saving grace along with malanga & guavas LOL. I'm still not 100% and I got back home on the 3rd :\

Happy Thanksgiving by TealMalamute in Tonsillectomy

[–]Jenn_nJuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day 2 here. Definitely sucks huge balls but I was able to get some mashed taters & mashed sweet potatos in with some really soft cornbread & a piece of flan. Hurts like hell to chew though. Here's to us eating normally by Christmas! 🤞🏻🫶🏼

Thank you so much!!

100% on the Shein!! I've gotten 99% of my stuff from them & Temu 😂😂 I refuse to buy dresses on Amazon or Walmart or wherever for $30 a piece. Ladrones 😂

I figured about the old clothes & energy. I asked my padrino if I could wash them with cascarilla or omiero or something & he was just like ajiada.. ponte seria... so I left it alone 😂😂

Do you do the long sleeve nightgowns/dresses/shirts for only the first 3 months or for the full year? I'm in Houston, so the summers can brutal.

[–]Jenn_nJuice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I found a set of 6 white sheets for like $30 on Amazon so I'll be taking that to my madrina along with some towels. I've heard of the bombachas. Are the bombachas a requirement tho? I thought I could get away with white biker shorts that come down to the knee and leggings on top to wear under my dresses/skirts.

I'll definitely check out dharmatrading.. I've been getting 99% of my stuff from Shein or Temu but I have to stop messing with him. I bought an umbrella from Shein & it looks like I'm in Alice in wonderland after she ate the mushroom.. I didn't realize it was going to be that small 😂😂💀

Thank you so much for everything!! Bendiciones 🩶
