Warding Off Evil In African Religions
25/01/12 22:21
I couldn’t help but get back to my favorite scary movie, the
“Exorcist.”
It’s not only a movie that defined my childhood, it was a work of art, a classic that revealed the basic protocol for dispelling negative energy from people who are possessed. First, you must pray, and then you throw around a little bit of holy water. Then you hold up a cross, look away, squeeze your eyes tight and hope for a miracle. I like to watch and write about fantasy and horror movies because it allows people to “ walk on the wild side.” It allows us to enter a gateway where the physical and spiritual worlds collide.
The cross, in the movie and in real life has a number of meanings.
For one, the cross is used to ward off evil. It can also provide a gateway or chamber to higher worlds. An X also obstructs or blocks negative energy. Wearing a cross as a necklace works as your own “do not enter sign” for the symbol protects you from marauders and other negative energies.
Holy water is used for many purposes.
Throughout the years, spiritualist and shamans have understood that water has significant healing qualities. Our bodies are mostly water and so is the earth. Water molecules have north and south poles just like our earth. Each water molecule has a dipole length, as in a magnet. In dummy terms this means that water can actually store information. Both mystics and shamans understand that the earth has its own memory. Everything in our universe is energy. When energy is concentrated, it creates physical matter. This happens through the power of intention.
The power of intention is not really a new concept.
In fact, our ancestors understood the power of sound. They believed that everything on earth was created by sound. Now, self -help gurus are jumping on board and teaching people that high frequency sounds work to energize the brain, and to attract energy. While low frequency sounds drain energy.
Some scientist and spiritualist say that sound originates from light, and that it even has an effect on our DNA.
This is why prayer is so important. It is our way of communicating with God, so we can attract and deflect energy. It also works as our protective shield to ward off evil, to keep us grounded, to help us reflect, and develop our character. So if there are times when you feel like your head is about to spin. Take some time out, get a glass of water, hold a cross, and say a small prayer.

How Do Voodoo Spells Work In African Religions?
23/01/12 21:41
Voodoo, not to be confused with Vodun can be used in the
practice of
witchcraft.
I like to think of Voodoo as malware that disrupts the natural flow of energy. Much like a virus, Voodoo spells operate to gather sensitive information and or to gain unauthorized access to your computer system (your mind). The virus’ ultimate goal is control and exploitation.
I can’t understand why someone would want to intentionally corrupt files.
However, people do it everyday in the spiritual world. They do it through the power of intention. Of course there are 101 thousand books on display about intention and how it’s great to attract abundance, love, and peace into your life. But, the power of intention has a “dark side” that’s crueler than Darth Vader.
Your intention actually directs the flow of energy.
If your intentions are to help your nephew get out of the hospital and be healthy, then positive energy will be directed towards him. If your intentions are to see your boss drop dead from a stroke then negative energy will be directed toward him. However, there’s a catch! People who are spiritually developed vibrate at much higher frequencies. Their immune systems (souls) are stronger and they can repel and deflect negative energy.
Just think of negative energy like a virus.
You pick it up from surfing the Internet, opening an email, or an attachment. Your computer starts to act funny. You began to lose files; you get millions of pop-ups, and spammers trying to sell you Viagra. You get frustrated because you need to use your computer for work, school, and socialization. At this point, you are either going to do one of two things. You are going to get the virus removed, or you are going to continue to work on your computer with the virus on it.
If you accept the virus, you accept the dysfunction.
By doing this, you are giving the hacker full and complete control over you. Now, he or she has access to your credit card accounts, personal information, and bank files. This is really how negative energy works, whether it’s a spell, a curse, an ajogan, a demon, or virus. It will trick you into believing that it is stronger than you. So you can succumb to its will.
The smarter thing to do is to get the virus removed.
However, I can tell you that it is not an easy task. First, you have to find where it is hiding. Secondly, you need to discern how badly damaged the computer (soul) is. Worse case scenario you’re going to have to wipe out the hard drive and reinstall all the software programs.
Negative energy makes you sick.
It causes stress, depression, financial hardships, and relationship problems. Negative energy causes people to degrade in character. This is why Yoruba and African based religions stress growth and development. So you can become strong, operate on a higher vibrational frequency and be able to repel and deflect spells, curses, and negative intentions.

Curses in African Religions
20/01/12 23:33
People think that a curse starts and ends with the
mind.
This is only partly true. A curse begins with the exchange of energy. It is best to think of a curse like an airborn virus, for it works to tear down your immune system and weaken your defenses. When a curse is not properly treated, it grows to infect all parts of the mind, body, and soul. The best way to combat a curse is through prayer and meditation.
Curses can come from other people or they can come from other realms.
In many cases, they come from people’s auric fields. Every living being on earth has an aura that vibrates at a different frequency. These auras have individual bands of energy that pulsates much like a heart beat. When we interact with other people, our auras merge, and we began to exchange energy (information). The energy could be good, or it could be bad. Bad energy can be transferred in forms of a curse and it works in two ways. It can either take your energy and or dump bad energy into your auric fields.
Just imagine a curse being like a leech that latches onto your body and sucks on your blood.
Or a fly that lands on you and regurgitates on your skin. Curses can be exchanged unintentionally and intentionally. People who are well versed in the dark arts, such as brujeria and witchcraft are able to work with this kind of energy. However, most people are unaware that they are carrying a curse, or that they are spreading it to other people. Curses can be exchanged from person to person, from group to group, to family to family. The energy is malignant and so strong, that it binds people together in the worse way.
We can see this with spousal abuse and relationships that are completely chaotic.
Couples cannot pull away from one another; no matter how hard they try. Curses work in other ways where it causes interference and you can’t discern your own thoughts and emotions from others. We see this happening a lot in cults and in families that are highly dysfunctional. In these cases, the curses are so strong that people no longer have contact with their true self. Their sense of intuition is gone and they are exposed to corrupt “crazy” leaders who force them to drink the poison kool-aid. Curses cause us to abuse ourselves. Curses are commonly inflicted during times of trauma and many people cannot heal, because the curse forces them to relive and suffer from the traumatic event over and over again. Others carry a curse of unworthiness and invite themselves to be abused and mistreated by others.
How do we combat curses?
We need to make sure that our souls (immune systems) are strong. We do this by meditating and developing our intuition to know who to interact with and who not to interact with. If we feel like we have been cursed, we need to sit and pray. Prayers to Obatala are great because he can help us clean negative energy. However, the process of identifying a curse can be extremely painful, and curing a deeply seated curse can be an arduous task. But, with faith and support from our spiritual community, we can overcome anything.
