Water is the sign of life, the source of purification and fertility. It possesses medicinal virtues and good health. Water is the source of inspiration.

Oceans are the power of strength, all life is ocean-born. In the ocean life exists therefore the ocean represents life.

Rivers represents the calm beauty of nature, its the sign of ease, grace and fluidity. Fast flowing rivers represent strength.

Butterflies a symbol of resurrection, for it disappears into a cocoon and appears dead, but emerges later far more beautiful and powerful than before.

Happy Birthday

Maferefun,




A spiritual altar is the center of spiritual development in whatever faith you choose to follow. Its a place to acknowledge our ancestors, communicate & get to know our egguns on a daily basis.



Today is my birthday (no not my ocha birthday), I wake up emotionally not in the right place. I still give all praises to God for my health, for my life, and waking up giving thanks for the blessings I have & build my relationship with Him.

I light my candles to celebrate my birth with my ancestors, egguns & those good spirits that walk with me. I ask them all to hear me as I talk with God. I ask God to heal my heart from sorrow, rejection, and loneliness. Heal my spirit that continues to be subjected to the dismissive treatment, unhealthy communication and passive/agressive behaviors from others. Heal my tounge and mind to respond in a negative or ungodly way as a defense mechanism. Help me to use my mind and my voice when speaking up for myself in a healthy way for positive results.


I say this in Jesus name... Amen.



Bendicion,

Ephesians

Quote: "With God's power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine." ~Ephesians 3:20



Maferefun!

There is an importance to acknowledging my ancestors and the knowledge of my lineage. The notion that the spirit world of my ancestors, the world of nature, and human culture bridges the gap of past & present in order to improve the future. By allowing myself to communicate with those good & positive energies, feeling that surge of magnitude that engenders may not be as tangible or visible, but it is real and true.



In making decisions that is God's Will, I am provided with powerful tools to protect, help and assist me in making positive, productive and an insightful growth/changes in my life. It can be equally effective knowing that life is not accidental or unplanned experiences but a journey in life that can offer endless possibilities and pleasures.

Harmony of Spiritual and Material

Quote: "What makes life worthwhile is having a big enough objective,
something which catches our imagination and lays
hold of our allegiance...What higher, more exalted,
and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?"





Maferefun!

It was a fulfilled day for me in taking my first step into uderstandig the basic principle in life, that my spiritual and material sides within me are not separate nor in battle against myself with myself.
... I 'm letting all that GO!!!

It taken years (MANY years) and some time for me to get that simple equation that for either to succeed both spiritual and physical must work in balance together.

Now my only obligation is to make the most of my potential.
