The thorny branches on the
monuments to the deities Osun and Eziza represent the realm of the unknown.

Our
families are challenged with broken
relationships, miscommunications, hurt feelings, childhood wounds and the Ancestors are there to help us heal.
I am learning of the interdependence with my Ancestors and my
family.
I have so many questions. Do we control our destinies by opening our
hearts? Is that the place we
Connect with the Ancestors
Connect with the Orisha?
Is
it unlimited manifestations?
What
guides the manifestation? Our intentions we have to always check our
intentions.
We are human and it’s so easy to
give in to fear. Flowing learning the
flow the resolution I seek.
As
I think about the challenging times and emotional struggle of caring for a
loved one who becomes incapacitated I remember how terrified I was then. My mom internally taught me to be strong with
the way she lived day to day.
No matter how stupid I was to
internally criticize as a child and now, Treasure as an adult.
Our intentions how we view our Blessings either builds the Blessing or
not.
We
elevate the
Divine in our Ancestors and the Deities who come to walk with
us with our intentions and actions and meditations as we journey through the
unknown.
I
have so much to learn.
I like this one just needs an altar and to recite these words. Nice
ReplyDeleteThank you obsidian for your feedback. You can start off with a small altar and build as you go. Start with water and any pictures you may have of your Ancestors, flowers, candy.
ReplyDeleteMy altar is on top of my entertainment center. Others have a small table.
