Eggun-Our Ancestors Tree.
Tumblr media
Before I begin there is no ancestral tree in hoodoo the tree it's self is not important but it is a place were people gathered to sing, dance,band place offerings.
One of the most important spirits you can work with besides your guardian spirits is working with your ancestors. Ancestors are the ones who have walked the path before you. They are the link between us and heaven; they should be the first you talk to before other spirits or deities.
What Are Eggun?
Eggun are spirits a direct blood line to us, they are your family members. They are NOT other spirits that you may or may not have with you or use like Native American Spirits, La Madama, Gypsy or any other spirits.
We all have ansestors/Eggun and we all can work with them. There is no “wrong way” to speak with them or work with them; but it is always good to have the guidance from an experience professional.
Where Can I Find A Eggun Tree? I think all states or counties may have one, it's a place that have the oldest tree, a tree that have seen a lot and holds significance to the people in the city.
Eggun tree a place for remembering your ancestors, where they sung songs, where they gathered, where they did there rituals and ceremony's, where they called on there spirits and left offering to them. Like the one we have in New Orleans it's a place where Africans and Haitians gathered so it's a place to leave offering to spirits/ deities.👇
Tumblr media
An Eggun Tree in Congo Square where I'm from.
These trees are important not just to African spiritual practices but to witches, wiccans, pagans, folk practitioners all of us can use a ancestral tree.
What Offerings Should I Leave By the Tree? Really anything. Go to the store and just feel what pulls you in, what you pick is what they want.
For your altar. Place things that they might like.
Example Below you'll see offerings like gum, fruit, beans, money

You can create one in your home also, to build or set-up an area you can dedicate to them only. You can take a piece of the tree with you (don't cut a big chunk out)

"Ibae bayen tonu"
En cada golpe con mi bastón, en cada canto que te ofrendo, Yo te llamo e imploro tu protección.
Acompáñame durante el día en mi jornada, librame de lo que yo no me pueda salvar, ayúdame a corregir mis errores y dame el entendimiento para lo que no puedo cambiar.
Luz y progreso para nuestros Egguns.

Pagan Misconceptions Clarified: Why Oyá, is NOT "Only The Warrior Goddess of Violent Storms, and Also; The One That Hold The Keys Of The Cemetery?!"
   This is the only atributes most people known about Oyá, and... I can't sincerely blame them: African Religions, are almost unknown; and... Unless you are an Historian, have growned up in Africa; or in one of the many nations of The Caribbean... You will be generally in the dark, knowing little to none; about African Deities, (excepting for Egypt and Carthage, the last being today's, Morroco) but... Since I was a kid, despite my parents wanting me to never get near of any beliefs outside Christianity; something of that came in local documentaries, and in some songs singed in the media; by devotees of Santeria. When I was in 4th of Elementary, I learned about my ancestors in school; and I felt pained for how much they suffered, so... I'm going to honor the African part of me, and to my African Ancestors than came at The Caribbean as slaves; by making this post, about the Goddess that catched my total attention; two years before I became a teenager: Oyá!
   Oyá, is too: The Goddess of The Winds and The Air, The Goddess of Lightning; The Goddess of The Death, and... The Goddess of Rebirth!
   Oyá, is an Yoruba Goddess and Orisha; that was married to Ogun, The God of War and Metals; until one day, she fall in love of Shango; The Warrior God of Thunder, and she left that Shango kidnapped her, which causes than Oggun and Shango; became into eternal enemies. She is the mother of The Eggunes, and she was given Total Dominion; over The Death. She wears bracelets and uses tools made of copper, as eternal gratitude to her sister Oshun; than losed her virginity, to saved her.
    Before I talk more about Oya, an important note: The Yoruba Deities, in the time of the Atlantic Slave Trade in The Americas; traveled too with their followers, and The Yoruba Religion; was syncretized with Catholicism, knowned as: Santeria; (Spanish Caribbean) Candomblé, (Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay) Quimbanda, (Brasil's Urban Settlings) Trinidad Orisha, (Trinidad and Tobago Islands) Umbamda, (Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay) and others. The Orishas, are spirits than are mostly considerated as Deities, and; at the same time, as manifestations of the Supreme Deity; Olodumare. These Diasporic Religions, are closed practices; which means than you can't just wake up one day, and decides that you wants to be part of any of them: In the mayority, you have to be born inside that culture; in other cases, you must have at least one African ancestor in your family; or in others, you have to being initiated by a priest, and do rituals within the people of their community. (If you want to study the basic info about any of them, in a serious manner; go ahead, or... If you want to go to a ritual, asked to a practitioner if you can go; asked about the correct behaviour if you get invited, and above all... Be respectful with The Deities, and to anyone than is in this faith; in the same way than you are respectful when visiting to friends or older relatives, Okay?!)
     And now... The other atributes and domains of Oyá!
    The Goddess of The Winds and The Air: She is associated with the winds, and uses her powerful singing; to move them into action. It is said too, than she doesn't only control the winds; but than she also control, the air than humans need to breath! For this reasons; she is The Goddess of The Winds and The Air!
    The Goddess of Lightning: She is represented, surround by lightning; and using them, when she goes to fight against difficulty situations; indomable and strong, as the lightning she controls.
    The Goddess of The Death: She is the mother of the Egguns, (Spirits) and lives in the door of The Cemetery; position than recieved after her sister said, than her father left Oya out of the inheritance for not been there in that moment; which she considered to being unfair. Her father, (Once Oya, was rescued); said than there only was one place without an owner, than was the cemetery: Oya, accepted gladly; and she became the Goddess of Cemeteries; since then.
    The Goddess of Rebirth: In all the ancient religions around The World, Death was seen as merely a passing from The Earthly World; into the The Spiritual World, (Paradise, Heaven; Hell, Only a Place of Rest for The Souls of The Ones than have passed away, etc.) before the Soul backed to Earth again; and because Oyá, is a Deity related with Death; which wasn't seen as The Final, but; as a new beginning... Oyá, represents the reencarnation of The Ancestors; and the lack of memory, than comes with rebirth, so... For all this, she is too; a Goddess of Rebirth!
    Oyá, is the only female warrior Deity and Orisha too; which is an amazing fact in itself, because women in the Yoruba Society; only can do chores than are meant for females... And being a warrior, wasn't one of them: Is remarkable than people in the Yoruba society feels a great respect for her, maybe for both of her roles; as an very powerful warrior; and... For being the keeper of the mysteries, than lay beyond this life!
    Curious Fact: One of the atributes of Oyá, is than she uses all the colors; except black, and is depicted as a beautiful woman; with weapons. So... If you see an african image of a beautiful dark skinned woman, holding swords; copper bracelets, and than uses all colors but black; (in her handkerchiefs, and/or in her clothing) then... You have already found, to Oyá!
     My African Ancestors, once they arrived into The Caribbean; (The first place where Africans arrived, for to being used in force labors; in The New World) were the ones than survived the trip by the sea, than were turned into slaves; forcebly separated of their families and/or friends, and forced to don't speak in their maternal languages, being forcebly converted to Catholicism; and were severely punished; when they were found making offerings to their Gods, surprised speaking in their language; or... For trying to escaped. This gruesome practices, is called Ethnocide; which is when Colonialists, tries to destroyed the culture of the people they have conquered; and colonized. But... As a form of resistance, the African Slaves; makes two very brilliants moves, against their enslavers: First, combining their maternal languages and dialects; with the language of their owners, and they created a new dialect; that confused to their enslavers, while they were planning how to been freed of them; at the same time; the language is called, Creole. And, the second move was; than because their cults were forbidden by the enslavers and their owners, they combined figures of The Catholicism; than had similarities with their Gods, like for example; Oyá, was sincretized with Saint Teresa of Avila and The Virgin of Candelaria; in that way, the could still leaves offerings to their Gods; while they were in front of the image of a Virgin or Catholic Saint, without rising suspictions over them; and avoided been punished! (I was rejoiced when I had 10 years old, of hearing how my African Ancestors resisted conversion; and foughted with cleverness, [And, sometimes... With weapons and rebellions, too!] until Slavery; was abolished in all The Islands of The Caribbean, FOREVER!)
    Despite than The Colonialism, destroyed most of The Arawak and African heritage; and I have found many people in my nation, than denies their Ancestry; for centuries of racial shaming indoctrination... I will take the chance to say this: Maybe I am a Pagan today, in part because my Ancestors had the courage to preserved their language and religion; the best way they could, and somehow; they passed me their strenght, so even if I don't looked like them, they inspired me enough to speaked to any person than tried than I shut up so I never speaked of my true origins; and when I told them with all my indignation and fury; even when a was I kid, than I’m wasn't white: I am of mixed origins and pale skin... But my heart and soul is Pagan, and I am forever linked by blood; DNA and pride, with my Pagan Ancestors of both sides of The Atlantic... (I have only saw one of my African Ancestors in dreams, but; wherever they are... This post, is for all of you; too: Thank you for have showned courage in those horrible times, in the faces of Slavery; Injustice and Death... And for showing me, than giving up of my beliefs is not an option; and doing it, is only a life full of cowardice; shame, pain, and than it lacks of all human dignity!)
    This is all, about The Yoruba Goddess and Orisha; than has power over Lightning, Winds; The Air, Storms, Death and Rebirth: Oyá!  
     Have all of you, days full of Courage; Fearlessness, Pasion, and of winning all the battles; so you can always makes to your Ancestors, proud of you... So Be It!

NIVELES EN EGGUN Y/O ESPÍRITUS 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ Hay niveles diferentes en los eggun, por eso son diferentes formas de despojarlos, quién se vuelve conciente de que está siendo influenciado por uno de ellos es porque tiene bien firme su Ashe, sin embargo lo ideal es que otra persona capacitada para liberar a la persona afectada es de suma importancia, ya que el eggun hará todo lo posible y según su fuerza para mantenerse alimentado, siguiendo perturbando a la persona, no tiene nada que ver cuántas protecciones tengas, cuántos fundamentos tengas, puede que disminuya las veces que un eggun se te pega, pero siempre existirá la posibilidad de que ocurra y más si prácticas la Cultura Yoruba, por eso es importante que siempre, las personas que estén una casa de santo y aún que directamente no estén trabajando, se deben de limpiar todos, porque así como el bien no descanza tampoco el mal. Los rangos de los eggun, varía según su evolución, su estado vibracional, mencionamos los más comunes. • Eggun ancestros: son aquellos que son de nuestro linaje sanguíneo (ADN) y están en proceso, generalmente no tienen la energía para manifestarse. • Eggun generales: son aquellos en vibra ligeros, que están en proceso de aceptación, aprendiendo a daptarse a su mundo con diferentes emociones y manifestaciones cómo ver su sombra. • Eggun protectores: son aquellos que vibran medio y su evolución esta en términos karmaticos/Dharmaticos con manifestaciones positivas por medio de sueños o pensamiento. • Eggun obsesor: son aquellos que claramente tienen aún un karma y siguen ligados a la Tierra y a las emociones bajas con manifestaciones negativas en pesadillas, dolores físicos, estados emocionales y mentales de baja frecuencia. • Eggun oscuro: son aquellos que retrocedieron pese a la oportunidad de vida, por elección propia, por ciertos pactos y con manifestaciones demoníacas, desde dañar artefactos eléctricos hasta provocar un accidente a daños mayores. #orishas #eleggua #oggún #oshun #Yemayá #obatala #shango #oyá #espiritismo #palomonte #Ifá #puebla #loscabos #mexico #chiapas #tlaxcala #guadalajara #españa #chile #perú #chile https://www.instagram.com/p/CeOxmXNLEHD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dimanche 22 Mai, nous nous rendons au musée Lofotr qui retrace la vie des Viking du Nord de la Norvège. Situé près de Borg , ce musée est né en 1981 lorsque la charrue d’un fermier heurta les vestige de la demeure d’un puissant chef Viking. Ce bâtiment mesure 83 mètres de long sur 14 de large, des découvertes de grandes valeurs y ont été faites permettant une meilleure compréhension des rites et des voyages entrepris par les valeureux Vikings. Ce musée interactif mérite une visite qui, hors murs, vous amènera au bord d’un bras du fjord y voir le drakkar et la forge placée à cet endroit pour éviter les incendies. Nous avons passé 3 heures d’émerveillement.
Ensuite nous sommes partis à la recherche d’une statue d’un sculpteur Suisse du nom de Markus Raetz, nous empruntons des routes peu larges et bien sinueuses. Nous arrivons à Eggun où nous découvrons un spot de surf au pied de falaises vertigineuses. Notre recherche reste vaine malgré les sentiers très escarpés empruntés pour la dénicher. Au cours de cette recherche nous pouvons observer un Pygargue à tête blanche prendre son envol depuis un rocher proche de l’eau. A ne pas confondre avec l’aigle Américain, le pygargue se nourrit de poissons et particularité Madame possède une envergure plus grande que celle de Monsieur; 243cm / 179cm. Par décence nous ne parlerons pas du poids de Madame qui est supérieur d’un bon kilo à celui de son mâle.
Nous prenons ensuite la direction de Unstad, et là , sur le sentier qui le relie à Eggun nous trouvons cette statue qui selon l’angle avec lequel on la regarde propose 16 déclinaisons différentes. Autre surprise en retournant au Camper, un jeune Pygargue, entièrement gris/brun, s’offre à notre regard. Tant de découvertes fatiguent, nous prenons la route pour trouver un camping et nous reposer.

Eggun Before Orisha: Tend to Your Ancestors First
There is a saying in my House of Ifá: “Eggun before Orisha,” meaning that ritual praxis dictates an order of tending to our ancestors before approaching our Gods in any ceremonial working. My Ifá oluwo (godfather), who is also a high-ranking Babalawo or priest of ritual divination (the Yoruba word Babalawo means “Father of Secrets”), […]Eggun Before Orisha: Tend to Your Ancestors First

Gran Bwa. Vodou Spirit Of The Forest.
Tumblr media
This lwa of one of my favorite I'm going to speak a little about him.
Gran Bwa is a big part of all forms of voodoo. He is the lwa of the forest, he's a healer who has power of the sacred forest. He is a powerful lwa. He may or may not be of Congolese origin originally, but some believe have originally been a Taino spirit incorporated into the Vodou pantheon.
What Nation Is Gran Bwa From? He is from the Rada Nation, Not Petro like the internet says. He is a patron of initiations. Gran Bwa is considered the Tree of Life that connects the celestial realms with those of the living and the dead. I won't say he is the ruler of the forest but it's protector and you can find him their or at any tree if needed.
Gran Bwa can help you make baths and washes,wanga bottles, packet etc. He is a great healer who can bring luck to you and he would come to your defence. He can break strong black magic and curses and cleanse negativity. He can help you connect to your ancestors and your spiritual home in Vodou.
Gran Bwa is the Shade tree, Giving tree, Medicine tree, and the Hanging tree all at the same time. Tell him what you require and he'll help you.
If you follow the Catholicism path he is synchronize with Saint Sebastian.
Tumblr media
St. Sebastian photo.
In other African religion like Puerto Rican Sanse, he is St. Sebastian or St. Jude.
Even thou voodoo spirit aren't saints he knows who your truly speaking too when you call apon him.
ANIMALS: He protects all forest animals.
COLOURS: Green or Red.
DAY: Saturday.
ALTAR: You can hang offerings from a any tree branch or lay them at the foot of the tree. Your altar is fine also.
Where To Find Him: You can find him in any forest area. Are if you have a place with a large old tree or a sacred tree (Eggun Tree) you'll find him their.
OFFERINGS: He likes green leaves and herbs, even braches if it's picked from a forest. Tobacco, Rum.

EGGUN
Espíritus de los muertos. Están bajo el poder de su rey: Oddúa. El concepto de eggun comprende a los espíritus de los antepasados, de los parientes, de los difuntos que fueron iniciados por el mismo padrino que tiene el creyente vivo, así como por otros que puedan acompañarlo para brindarle su consejo o auxilio. Algunos espíritus o egguns de gente
malvada o insana pueden ser manipulados mágicamente para hacer el mal.Su culto, propiamente dicho, no se ha establecido en Cuba, pero se tiene muy en cuenta para cualquier rito. Gracias a ellos se preserva entre nosotros la tradición de «respeto a los mayores 'africanos». Son ellos,
como se sabe, y no ningún contemporáneo, los depositarios de los secretos del conocimiento.
En todas las casas de santos las primeras ceremonias van dirigidas a los egguns de esa casa. «Ikú lobi ocha: el muerto parió el santo.» Al inicio de cualquier plegaria se nombran los egguns o antepasados africanos, y luego a ¡os criollos. Se les ofrenda gallo y carnera; también se les pone florescascarilla, coco (picado en nueve trozos), pan con mantequilla, café con
leche, agua con azúcar, agua, cigarros, tabacos, aguardiente, arroz amarillo, la cabeza de puerco incluida en el ajiaco y otras comidas, así como dulces. En general se les ofrenda todo lo que se come y, en especial,
lo que se sabe que les gustaba comer cuando estaban encarnados.
La Consulta con los egguns puede hacerse a través de! caracol de Elegguá aunque sólo se les pregunta «sí» o «no»; también mediante una misa espiritual y la asistencia de un medium. Igualmente se puede emplear el oráculo del coco para consultarlos antes de iniciar un sacrificio a los
orishas. Ahora bien, los sacrificios propios de los egguns se hacen en caños y vertederos. Entre los atributos de los egguns hay muñecas y muñequitos, fotografías, un palo de monte con nueve rayas rojas y blancas, y bastones.
Existen distintas formas de exorcizar la influencia malévola de los egguns. Puede hacerse mediante un ebbó, a través de un medium, con misas, con baños de depuración, o acudiendo a un orisha que haya poseído
a un ser humano y que efectuó los exorcismos convenientes. Se usa el cójate (o colonia) junto a la albahaca y al rom-pesaragüey para alejar a los egguns mortificantes.
En los funerales de los grandes personajes de la santería se utiliza el págugu (o palo consagrado a Eggun). En los cantos y bailes ceremoniales a Eggun se danza con el págugu en la mano derecha y golpeando verticalmente el suelo al ritmo de los tambores bata, que tocan a muerto. El págugu es un bastón o cuje de más de un metro de largo. En ocasiones se
coloca una pequeña cabeza labrada y pintada de negro en el extremo superior del palo que representa a Eggun. Sus ojos y boca están representados por cauris, pero en vez de tener hacia afuera la abertura del univalvo, la tiene hacia dentro porque «esos ojos no ven y esa boca no habla».
A través del Eggun del págugu se le pueden enviar recados a los difuntos. Es necesario honrarlos y darles agua, tabaco, aguardiente y comida (preferentemente la que el difunto solía preferir y que se coloca en platos rotos, «platos muertos»). Al págugu o Igui-Eggun se le consulta con los procedimientos adivinatorios tradicionales. La personificación del
espíritu de un muerto en un palo se encuentra muy extendida en África y ha pasado a los ritos ¡afrocu-banos. El págugu se coloca habitualmente en un rincón, casi siempre en el cuarto excusado, junto a la letrina o al vertedero
de las basuras. Cuando un santero es reclamado por I¡á, conserva su pagagu
