The Veil of Obatala

In the beginning, before the world was shaped, the skies stretched vast and empty, and the seas churned without form. Obatala, the gentle and wise Orisha, was chosen by Olodumare to descend and bring order to chaos. He was given a golden chain to climb down from the heavens, a gourd of sand, and a white hen to shape the earth.

As he prepared for his sacred mission, Obatala’s heart swelled with pride. The world-to-be rested in his hands, and with each step toward the edge of the heavens, he envisioned lush lands, flowing rivers, and creatures teeming with life. But the task was weighty, and Obatala sought comfort in palm wine offered by mischievous spirits.

The sweet, heady drink clouded his mind, and his steps faltered as he descended the golden chain. When he reached the chaos below, his hands moved sluggishly. The sand poured unevenly, and the hen scratched haphazardly, scattering landforms across the waters. Mountains rose jagged and distorted, valleys were shallow where they should have been deep. Obatala's vision was blurred, and his once-perfect world was misshapen.

When the haze lifted, Obatala looked upon his creation and saw his mistakes. He wept bitter tears for the imperfections, especially for the first humans he had molded, who bore marks of his drunken hand. He pleaded with Olodumare for guidance, his humility raw and unguarded.

Olodumare, ever wise and forgiving, gave Obatala a new task: to become the Orisha of purity, wisdom, and redemption. His white garments would forever remind him and others of the clarity and peace of a clear mind. Obatala vowed to watch over all, especially those with physical differences, honoring their unique beauty as creations of his humbled heart.

From that day, Obatala walked the earth in kindness, correcting what he could, protecting the vulnerable, and teaching the power of forgiveness—starting with himself. The world he shaped remained imperfect, but through its imperfections, it thrived with the resilience and love he nurtured.

We ain’t smokin’ to run.

We smokin’ to remember.

This ain’t a habit—

it’s lineage in our lungs.

Silence loud.

Gold heavy.

Head wrapped like we know somethin’ they don’t.

One breath up.

One message down.

Both of us protected.

This ain’t aesthetic—

it’s ceremony.

And when the smoke clear…

we still here.

Rooted.

Untouched.

Divine feminine… stop chasing people who can’t recognize your light. The sun never chases the planets.

It simply shines… and everything aligns around it.

The moment you stop begging for attention, approval, or love…

you step back into your power. The divine feminine doesn’t chase.

Sekhmet is a prominent goddess in ancient Egyptian. She is often depicted as a lioness-headed deity and is associated with war, destruction, healing, and protection. Sekhmet is considered a powerful and fierce goddess who could both cause and prevent epidemics and plagues. She was also seen as a protector of pharaohs and a symbol of their strength in battle. Sekhmet's worship was widespread in ancient Egypt, and she played a significant role in their religious beliefs and practices.

Sekhmet was often invoked or summoned for various reasons, including:

1. **Protection**: Sekhmet was seen as a fierce protector, particularly of the pharaohs and the Egyptian state. She could be called upon to guard against enemies and threats.

2. **Healing**: Paradoxically, Sekhmet was also associated with healing. She had the power to cure illnesses and epidemics, and her wrath could be turned into a force for healing.

3. **Warfare**: Sekhmet's fierce nature made her a symbol of strength in battle. Warriors might invoke her to grant them courage and victory in conflicts.
