Sorry for the long post ahead of time lolz.... ok so i jus received my first ever spelled candles from Lala (Halo, Un-Hex, Crossroads) about a week ago and I’m so excited 🤗...I been so intrigued by hoodoo/Voodoo since I was a little girl despite all the negative comments I grew up listening to (unfortunately).. I’m now 30yrs young and I reached a point in my life where I feel like there’s a reason y I’m being drawn to it so much and now I honestly jus don’t give a Fuc bout wat anyone’s thinks or believes🤷🏽♀️....with that being said I’m all alone in this new spiritual path, I have a supportive boyfriend that dont judge but he isnt into practicing (and that’s ok) .....so LaLa (the conjure family) you guys and books (which is very contradicting at times) 🙄 is all I really have so excuse me if I’m asking ignorant ?s to most people or if I annoy/offend anyone.. I really just want to learn and do Everything right 🤗
so now to start lolz...me and my babe rent a room and is currently looking for an apartment of our own...this is what made me pick now to practice cause after all we been through we need some help and guidance from our ancestors and Papa Legba to get us where we want to be...I feel like there’s so much blockage between the both of us 😞... I read that it’s best to have the alter separated from clutter or disorganized surroundings and if u can’t than get a room divider ... because we rent a room we don’t have much space so it is alil crowded but we have enough space to put a divider up and I’m doing jus that waiting for it to get delivered but we also smoke weed and I don’t kno if I should stop smoking weed in the room or if it’s going to effect anything?? 🤔 I searched the forum and someone says that it doesn’t effect it but I’m not to sure if it still applys to me because of my living conditions....and also I heard a spiritual bath is best before burning the candles but unfortunately we only have a stand up shower is there’s anything else I can do to work around that? ... and do I really need a room divider or is it ok with out one?
I’m so ready to light my candles but I jus been trying to make everything perfect 🤩 that’s the ocd In me 😩
Anytime, NP!
You don't need a room divider at this time. You need to clean up and organize. Do your best. Sage, Florida water and prayer. Stop thinking what you don't have and think what you do.I would get started sooner or later so that you can elevate and get on out of that room you are splitting with another adult. I would put in an order for GF ASAP so that once you are cleansed and the roads are clear you can start manifesting some money.
You can shower with hyssop oil to cleanse yourself and let some of the water fall in a bucket or a bowl.. dump it at a crossroads.
If you search Lala’s page she answers/clarifies tons of questions. The class she is offers is information as well. As far as Papa Legba you won’t be able to sustain success with out him because he’s the gatekeeper for everything. Follow the steps you’re starting correctly. Use a shoebox or something of the sort and make altars for Legba, and your ancestors. Decorate it and explain due to space limitations this is the best you can do for now. Pappa will more than likely let you in. Remember to honor him on his days Saturday, & Monday. Now, get ready Pappa plays a lot. I was lost as well but this one specific YouTube channel was a Blessing. She’s consistent and gives hella content. I’m positive listening to her and doing what she said led me here 💯. Additionally , she says the same thing that Lala says essentially never stop your work. I know this isn’t super helpful without a name but I don’t want to disrespect Lala.
Do everything TD just stated. Also, we must remember that Hoodoo(Folk Magic)/ Voodoo ( Religion) were spoken so negatively about, because, white folks didnt want our ancestors to know their strength. It was was away to keep them silent, but our ancestors secretly practiced. Anything out of Africa is negative based on history. Our Blackness is beautiful. Period!
I don’t think you need a room divider. All you need to do is make sure your space is clean and cleanse your space with Sage and Florida water then say a prayer asking your Spirits, Guide, Ancestors and Higher power to remove negativity! Make sure you have a window open! After that begin!
