One of Today's Lessons

Artist-Kevin L. McIntosh

Learning how the Orisha work with me is a daily lesson.

Obatala is teaching me discernment is the way to maintain a calm cool head.  Today, Obatala showed me to stop, breathe and assess before reacting during a lesson from Oggun.

This is my continued prayer, “Orisha please be gentle and kind with us as we learn and falter”.  In this time in our evolution as human beings we must pray for each other.  It is no longer enough that I am “blessed and highly favored”; it is about my family, my community, my village, my country, humanity, my planet.

The Orisha come for community working through the individual.  Yet too often when things go wrong or we fear, the reaction is to attack someone or something.  Too often it is about revenge, control or manipulation. The Orisha are so much more.

I learned today about how they lovingly guide us, direct us and correct us.  Always keeping in mind there is no one true path.  

We each grow and learn differently journeying along different spiritual paths.  

Problems Increasing - Time to Check Yourself

When problems continue to increase then it is time to stop and look at yourself honestly.  It is time to ask yourself questions:

How am I contributing to these problems?

What are my thoughts?  Do I address people respectfully, and then curse them out in my head?  Do I say one thing when I really mean something else?  Is it always the fault of someone else? What are my illusions and delusions about me?

Is this my thought or what I have been told to think?  Is this my internal dialogue or am I repeating what I heard that sounds good?  Did I just yell at my children because I am frustrated or angry?  Did I argue with my partner because I feel scared or insecure about our relationship?  Do I judge people based on what I would do in the same situation?

One thing is for sure, we can’t create change with the same patterns of thinking, acting and living.  Did you check your intentions and internal dialogue today?  I did.  

I have so much work to do with me.

With the news focusing so much on lack of resources it is easy to fall into depression.  We are the Co-Creators of our lives.

It is time to reinvent yourself, be bold, be courageous.

Peace and Blessings

He lays out what we must do this century for our own community. It's economics and the power is in our hands. It is how we live and how we spend our money. Time to build generational wealth. Important, interested in your feedback.

Healing is a Process & Journey

This is a time for self-reflection and correction. 


 We have each accumulated unproductive negativity, pain, hurt, and disappointment. With this debris it is difficult to access a higher frequency of our energies. 

Healing is a journey requiring focus, practice and ritual. Change is a step by step process of internal spiritual cleansings through baths, readings/divinations and meditations. 

This is an ancient way of living.

In our modern times we have neglected the ancient truths.

To reconnect on a meaningful and productive level requires working internally. Change is individual and internal to manifest externally. This is a miraculous time if we reconnect to the ancient truths and wisdoms. Water therapies have been identified to stimulate healing. (University of Maryland Medical Center, 2011) 

Cleaning the spiritual body gives us more control over our lives. (Teish, 1985)

This year spiritual baths have become part of my daily life and that of my family and friends. With daily guidance from the Ancestors and Orishas customized baths are assisting each of us along this journey of self-actualization. Baths are customized daily.

“The baths energize the water. The salt baths can assist in calming or self-reflection or remove negative energies or re-energizing,” explained A.A. 

It is a process of baths to work with you step by step. Change is a step by step process. Spiritual baths assist in strengthening your internal guidance. 

It is a way to reconnect to Ancestral roots and guidance.
