Hi there! I saw a post of yours that you practice voodoo and I was curious as to how you were drawn to that practice and how you got started with learning and practicing? I’m interested myself to begin I’ve been drawn to the practice for years and wish to begin my own journey
Hello there!
I’m still fairly new, I’m only about 5 years in, but things moved very quickly when I got started. I didn’t start by choice, but I was more or less pulled into it. I had a friend who happened to be a Mambo(priestess), and she got me started, even provided my with a book containing some hand written spells. I’ve been adding to said book since. I’ve always been drawn to Voodoo, really, but the fact that I met someone who actually was a practitioner was what really got me started.
But yes, I started out back in 2015, where my friend decided to tell be that she was a Mambo, and she provided me with some spells to try, to try and help me with a particular problem I had. I will be honest, I didn’t really believe in it in the beginning, but when weird things started happening, said spells actually bringing in what I was needing, and strange things started to happen around my apartment, I started believing 100% that this was indeed real. I’ve always been somewhat of a skeptic, although also open to most things, because I’ve seen strange things since I was a child.
Once I knew that this was real, that’s when I really began. Researching the Lwa, researching different types of spells, different supplies one might need. I plan on sharing a few spells on here at some point. Some of the spells I started with. Also, I plan to share some stories from this journey, because I have some pretty interesting ones. Involving the Lwa I work with, and so on. One of my other friends is a Houngan(priest), and the Lwa have a habit of channeling through them, because I can’t see them, or hear them yet.
My advice to you, is that you should definitely do some looking into it. If it calls you, it means something. Look into the Lwa, try and talk to other practitioners, and start out slow. And don’t worry about having to follow every single rule. The Lwa know that we’re human, and that everyone has their different ways. And feel free to ask me questions as well, if you should have any! I’ll be happy to try and help out, if I can.
Sorry about this being long. I get way too chatty, when I’m passionate about something.
Thank you for your questions!
