Ayizan Velekete Video Altar

Image
Ayizan Velekete can as well be Grann Ayizan. She's the first Mambo high priestess in the Vodou lineage. She's the wife of Papa Loko Atisou. and Atibon Legba.  Her symbol is the sacred palm branch.

The Goddess Ayizan Velekete Haitian Vodou Pantheon

Gazing at Inside the peristyle, which showing the allure of a splendid arrangement and white cloths cover every bit of impunity. That also causes the reflections of a snowy blanket of winter snowflakes. A gentle breeze flows in, with a sense of serene; alerting ones to exhale and waiting for the divine arrival. Meanwhile, the persistence of the drumbeat is starting at a medium sound of yanvalou and twarig ò l. A variety of ritual songs from the rada rite consciously singing aloud; and kabalistic geometric signs trace on the air with the sacred gourd.  Abruptly, the breeze gets stronger and everybody has a sparkling glow in their eyes.

Atibon Legba Video Altar

This is my Legba altar. Legba is the universal path in vodou. He's the elocutioner, the finder and he provides directions. He's the elder of the gate. You give him respects and treats and he pays you back with blessings.  NB-- I do not own the rights to this Vodou song.

I am of the Orthodox Voodoo

I am of the orthodox vaudou. See me like Olohun will see me. Treat me like Olohun will treat me. I hold out and breathe under the tree of life. Each day is a struggle, a hustle to live by. I dwell like a martyr without...    Do they even care to recognize that I am also part of the family as well? I am an atom of the tree bole. On this planet of earth, we are one family. We are wholly created by the higher force. He places us in different directions and placement of his right or option. He’s the kings of kings, Eloah, Olohun…. He's got so many names! Still, he’s one of so many. Unlike the bad rap of the voodoo inheritance. I hold back strong and unbeatable. Like the Levites, and the meaning of their career. I am of the voodoo lineage.
