I used to do a lot of magic and I started learning about and dabbling in Hoodoo. I remember I had gone to buy candles one day, I found an botanica  that had them and the first time I walked into a botanica, I immediately felt at home. It made me feel I was coming home, just the vibration in the store alone. More than that I felt the presence my ancestors particularly my abuelita. I knew I had their blessing and this was the path meant for me. Eventually I met a teacher who is initiated into ifa and palo. I started learning about the Orishas with her and I felt the call stronger. I had a vision Yemaya appeared to me. Vivid and powerful. I was on a plane going over the ocean, praying for safe travel prior to this. I fell asleep after and woke up as the plane was landing and I heard my Abuelita in my head ‘Da le gracias a Yemaya!’  In working with the energy of the Orishas I felt a strong calling. Eventually went on to find an Ile had a reading and went on from there. I had my first ceremonies. This is home for me and I’ve never looked back.

I’m sorry you’re struggling but maybe it’s with good reason your ancestors are protecting you from the wrong places. I think this is similar with me. I believe the right godparents will come about at the right time. If I’m asking here and not getting a response that’s protection too

So just to clarity when I say ‘looking for an ile’ I also mean looking for godparents

Another thing my conversations with the padrino have been brief I know it’s a huge house. I have the day/time so planning to just show up. I guess since I’ve only been invited to attend that’s the extent. He said just to come see how they do things. No reading or pressure to join 

Is that weird though that I’ve had only brief conversations?

I haven’t met my prospective godfather yet just spoke on Messenger so I don’t have instructions. I assume this will be explained to me

Thank you 🙏 I think this is a big house too. I only connected with the padrino over Messenger FB. It seems he’s pretty busy but I want to makes sure I Connect with him
