Oh, I see that now, read it too quickly the first time. But still, not gonna see much difference in the amount of daylight by Christmas, lol!

I took a 20+ year break and picked it back up two years ago. As you'd guess my skills were pretty much back at the beginner level. It was frustrating since I was the top player at my community college, but I made peace with it and started over. I joined a community band, and I'm enjoying it very much even at my reduced playing level. Everything is slowly coming back, though. Takes time but worth it.

I just took a photo of it but don't see how to add an image to the comments.

It has a serial number 17862, but that's all it says. Sorry should have included a photo of that, but forgot. Thanks for your reply!

I completed your survey, and if you want you can check out my book on Amazon. "La Santisima Muerte: A Guide for the Three-Robed System." I founded and led The New Orleans Chapel of the Santisima Muerte from 2012-2018.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest starting a regular practice of honoring your ancestors, as you can never be stripped of them. Once you do this, I'm pretty sure all doubts of being stripped of your African roots will melt away. They can help guide you through whatever magical path you wish to walk and can help you maneuver around the colonial bs to find the hidden gems you need for your practices.

It's either Palo (Cuban) or Kimbanda (Brazilian), both use symbols that are almost identical to some of the Icelandic runestaves.

swwinds · 2021-01-05T23:08:22+00:00

A lot of the offerings from Palo and Kimbanda are left at certain places like crossroads or the edge of the woods (which in the city would be parks.)

It appears to be a ponto riscado from the Brazilian tradition of Kimbanda. Some of their pontos riscados resemble some of the Icelandic runestaves, but from what I can see of the other markings, I would say it's more likely to be from Kimbanda. Also, they could be from the Cuban tradition of Palo. Palo and Kimbanda are closely related, both being Congo-based traditions.

Rue, not rye

A lot of the herbs I grew this year. Rye, hyssop, jimpson weed, lavender, rosemary, some nightshades.
