31 Jul August Newsletter – Obatala
Blessed new month, Full moon and the time to connect to Obatala in you!
I am always exited to ring in the 8th month of the year. It is both my cardinal birthday month and the anniversary of my initiation into the mysteries of the Great Orisa Obatala
Some of you may know my story of the impressionable, curious, idealistic 23 year old young woman and my 6 week old baby boy going to South Carolina for initiation at the place that would later be known as Oyó Tunji African village. Looking back 52 years later I am still idealistic, impressionable and naive about the ever revealing mysteries of the Orisa and ancestors.
This month is a good time for us to draw closer to the Obatala within by committing at least one day a week to wear white clothes in honor of our Ori,(inner head) and Obatala our divine intelligence. We can also bless our heads at sunrise with prayer, fresh water and radiance of early morning sunshine. What awakens the Orisa in each of us is when we take the time to reflect , connect and set intentions for the things we hope for in the future.
Look for Obatala’s quick miraculous revelations and blessings in both the large and small things that will manifest for and through you.
We are all lighthouses of inspiration for those who ask or need our help. These are the aspects of humanity that gives us favor from Obatala. Forgiveness to ourselves and others is the cherry on the top of Obatala’s ice cream.
As you listen to my song to Obatala, please know how grateful I am for you being in my life personally or on social media.
I wouldn’t be who I am today without us touching each others life.
May Obatala inspire you, lift you up and may you find joy in your here today.
Eku Odun Orisa mi
