Manual Del Palero (English)

EL MANUAL DEL PALERO

LA RELIGION LUKUMI

SANTERIA

Religion Lukumí, is one of the oldest religions in the world. Is as old as legendary, full of nuances

subjective because the writing was used only in recent times, hence, we do not have exact date of birth

of the same.

Talking to the arrival of this religion would lead to the American Continent, it actually brought black

Africans enslaved and brought over by English, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.. To serve their respective

crowns, when they colonized our continent to America. It is to emphasize that it is untrue that they

were the kings of the various African kingdoms captured. This is explained by the proximity of the Kings

to their Orishas (Santos), but if they were people who were enslaved Santo.

To better understand the Religion should be taken into account that it is divided into three powerful

branches, which are: Ifá, Osha and Palo Mayombe. These lands represent the religion Lukumí at its

best.

IFÁ

Land or part of the Religion which is the most representative Orula, Orunlá or Orúnmila. In this Orisha

or Santo is known as the stick that supports Olofi (God), who compared sincretizado or can be

equivalent to saying that St. Francis of Assisi. This represents the portion of the stems where they are

supposed wisdom of the other branches of religion.

The leading representatives of human Ifá are Olúos Babalawos and who are the priests and keepers of

the secrets of religion in general.

Olúos are those who after having Coronado Santo (Kari Ocha), Ifá pass through a very secret ceremony.

They must know all the ceremonial, without exception.

Among its responsibilities are, consult the Registrar or a person, to make aid work, do Ebboses deliver

Hand Orula Ekofá to men or to women, Oruna deliver, deliver Osayin, birth Olúos others, Babalawos,

do PARALDOS (recollection of death), and that these events arise, besides having Santo Coronado, may

be present at the Coronation Ceremony of Santo.

The Olúos are supposed to respect men who should be an example within the religion, in his neat dress

of great wisdom and knowledge to overcome the vicissitudes of life.

Babalawos are those provided by Orula or his Holy Ifá pass, but without the Holy complete, ie with the

Santo Lavado. Of course, limitations to enter the Fourth St., where religion can not be where before

there had been, like deliver what has not been received.

Have the same powers of Olúos, but neither can "give birth" to a Olúo or may enter the Fourth St..

The importance of these gentlemen in the Religion is huge, not only because they dominate all the

secrets of it, but this will not exist without them.

Only Olúos and Babalawos who are mandated by Olofi have the power to determine what the Angel of

Guardian of a person, handing the Warriors down the sign and so was born, by ITA, which means, The

Way .

HAND OF ORULA, ABOFAKA OR EKOFA

The Guardian Angel is the Holy accountable to Olofi (God) for everything good and everything bad that

can happen to one is a friend and an advisor helpful in all cases of life. It also is the Holy Crown, if you

are going to jump right into the religion.

Eleggua Elewa or is the Holy warrior of Caminos owner of the doors and the keys to those doors. It is

the first in everything, without the ceremony there is no worth. It is an old boy, very impulsive, but

what gives everything away if it is not known to treat and care. It is one of the Home Guard. His feast

day is celebrated on 13 July, others, January 1, January 6, June 29, December 28, etc.

Oggun, is the owner of the Orisha Iron Holy War. This Orisha is born from the bowels of the earth and

whose father is Aggayú, others say that Obatala. The same for having committed a serious misconduct

against her mother sentenced to live among irons, is a Holy Warrior, also one of the most rare. Their

camouflage is the Catholic St. Peter of some roads and other San Miguel Arcángel. His feast is

celebrated on September 29.

Ochosi, Odemata, as it is known, is the representative of justice in this life, its symbol is a bow and

arrow. It is also the King of the Hunt therefore live in the bush, has Oggun covenant. His is such a

Catholic San Norberto.

Osun or Ozuna, Santo representing righteousness, life and head.

Orula, Orunlá or Orúnmila, represents wisdom in its fullness. It is the personal secretary of Olofi, so to

speak. His camouflage Catholic as we have said is that of St. Francis of Assisi. His feast is celebrated on

October 12.

ITA, is just the way, where it's going well and where it will go wrong. It is also the sign with which you

should learn to live.

That is why when a Nigerian born son of a religious or a Santero, the first thing they do is take it to the

Bottom Orula (Babalao) for a plant Orunlá, this is what determines your Guardian Angel, receives

Orula, Warriors, and above all Itá, which is what we will say is that good or is the creature and that he

must take care in life.

Imagine if your child is going to go wrong in English throughout their lives, then put it to learn French.

If you have liver problems, you would inculcate from small there will be very bad and do not learn to

drink, and so on.

OCHA u OSHA

The Ocha or Santo is perhaps the most fascinating part of this religion because it not only learn

everything related to it, but you learn to work with the Saints or which receives or him and his secrets.

I believe very particular and personal, I apologize in advance to deviate from my position, I believe that

the ceremony of Imposition or Collars Elekes, is where the religion began, and that's like a christening,

a compromise between the Holy or initiated or Santos and Aley.

The santeros worship a supreme being and a group of deities or Orishas forming the yoruba pantheon.

Santeros priests interpreted the will of the Orishas by divination. It seems that in order to pass on his

advice, the Saints have sometimes to the worshipers, who in turn rely through prayers, music, gifts and

a specific behavior. The altars are playing an important role in worship. The santeros have one in your

home and offer him flowers, cane liquor, cigars or snuff and biscuits to keep the gods happy and win

their favor.

Everything always starts when a person has a problem and someone recommends a Santero or

Babalocha, who after consultation with snails or registration or Diologún, or interpreting what the

Saints will speak to counsel and consulted. It's very interesting to know that there are universities like

Oxford, England, where he studied as Caracol divinatory oracle with little margin for error.

In this consultation Saints "talk" by dialing Ebboses: That is like a gift that is both clean, to remove

Osobbo: Damage or negative thing that prevents a successful development, if not I will go on. Iré mean

welfare, stability,

health. of course depending on the letter to come and speak or guarantee that the Saints. Also, if you

come with OSSOBO, speaking evil.

The saint spoke, you said that the need to evolve, can solve a problem or Ebbordar receiving Elekes,

with some work or cleaning, or by receiving some Santo where the person to receive a Babalawos

Warriors (which is correct), or where a referral may Palero, if necessary.

In some extreme cases may find the Holy of the need to wash the saint to cure or heal. Usually washed

by Obatala health. Alternatively, the Saint, who was suing Top Santo (or Leri Kari Ocha) to be that to

solve their problems.

The difference between Santo and Santo Lavado Coronado is that in the first, is half the secret

coronation ceremony, which is not used and four-legged animals are not presented to the head of Aley,

while the second If the ceremony is complete.

Another difference is manifested in the number of days during both ceremonies, while the former can

last a maximum of three (03) days, the second lasts eight (08) days. In the Santo Lavado the person

goes home and away from Aley discretion is the use of white clothing.

At the Crown o Santo Santo, the Aley, who was third (03) days will be considered and impeccably named

Iyawó should wear white, for one year and seven days, will have certain restrictions such as not going

out late at night less than that is with a Major, his Godfather, or Godmother Oyubbona (Second

Godfather or Godmother), will not go to the movies for a while will not: seen in a mirror, or maintain

relationships sex, or use a knife, should eat on a mat, and not to drink during that time.

The first three months should be used long-sleeved shirt, hat or white hat.

Should not caerle to Iyawó rainwater in the head, or receive sunlight half the day. You must use your

necklaces or Elekes always or as long as possible.

You should not hand over the yavorage. Of course other prohibitions that will give the Holy in their very

personal Itá.

This ceremony will crown the Angel de la Guarda, but also receive other Saints such as Obatala,

Yemaya, and OYA, Ochun, Shang, and others, depending on the Holy Crown.

Much that irresponsible santeros have unveiled the secret ceremonies of Holy Crowning, and also there

is much that unscrupulous writers or knowledge about the religion, they have published. This not only

disrespects to Religion as such, but Illalochas and Babalochas, and worse still, the Orishas themselves.

IMPOSITION OF ELEKA O NECKLACES

Once the Holy marked by Diologún or snails, that the query needs or requires the

Elekes Necklaces or the Babalocha or ask a Illalocha series of articles or materials

required for this ceremony. These materials are generally:

Clothes to tear, then this breaks the bathroom with Omiero or Umiero, which is where

the ceremony starts, the cleansing of the body.

2 dishes, often ignored by the Godparents.

2 Candles.

¼ mts. White poplin.

Cotton.

Cocoa butter.

Husks. Houses in some bread Santo.

White clothes, skirt below the knee in women.

White towel.

White comb in some houses.

Two (02) Cocos dry

Sorry if this perhaps forgetting some other material.

It is important to bring the law itself that have marked the Godfather, ie money that

you must cancel the ceremony.

Religion in all should be paid.

Friends readers how it feels to receive Elekes is indescribable and unforgettable, at

least, I do not I have.

After purified with bathing, to pray the person's head, which is equivalent to remove

all "Junk" accumulated during life, and here is the importance of praying Head. Here

are consulted to Saints and the dead to protect the Aley.

Necklace is delivered and then the ceremony Mat. From this moment you shall be

committed to the Saint.

5 Elekes that are received are:

Eleggua: Orisha owner Roads, goalkeeper universal means being at home, Orisha is

the closest to humans and santeros. This equates to Santo Santo Niño de Atocha or

Divine Child, and its date is December 28.

Obatala: Santo governing Cabezas, Health, Intelligence, whose mandate Olofi, God

created man, his name means King About Everything.

Compared to the Virgen de las Mercedes and your party is done

Yemayá: Mother of the world, represents the sea. Mother of almost all the Orishas, the

wife of Orúnmila. Witch is great in the good sense of the word.

His day is August 8 and camouflage is the Virgin of Rule.

Oshun: Santa, who represents the purest love, but also without shame. Owner of

money, the rivers of fresh water, honey. Apeterví of Orula.

Their camouflage is the Catholic Virgin of Caridad del Cobre. His feast day is

celebrated on December 5.

Shango: Owner of lightning and the spark. The problems are, is the candela. Shango

Omagüeri illa "Chango was born with the war in the head." Represents the rumba. It

sincretiza with Santa Barbara. Her feast is December 4.

These are the five necklaces that here in Venezuela received ELEKA as groundless,

and that protect the head of Aley.

Santos will also receive other, depending on what you make in these snails, they can

be:

Santo OLOCUN this represents the unknown, the depth of feelings.

LOS IBEYIS or JIMAGUAS Santos known as San Cosme and San Damián, sons

favorite CHANGE. These Saints have seven roads.

Well INLE Santo, owner of the fish, also a good hunter. According to the story that was

seduced by Yemayá and taken to fund the sea where lived until the present.

In Santería or Regla de Ocha, a person who resorts to Santo, then the respective

register, you must do Ebboses or cleaning, gifts, etc.. The Holy One, if this line goes to

him and Olofi (God) the claim that it does. If the latter give their consent the Orisha

looks, if it is fair, necessary, not hurts someone, and then decide for yourself whether

to grant the pardon or not.

Meanwhile the Babalawos and Olúos because secretaries direct Olofi, depending on

whether religious or not is good, always manage to thank those who ask for this Orula

in turn get the blessing of the Almighty. Despite this, they also depend on Ebboses or

make offerings.

Note for you as it is close to us mortals, and even attached to the human, it is

necessary to make an offering to the Orishas. Intermediaries of God.

PALO MAYOMBE

This is the topic that dominates me more length and depth than in the past and with

the permission of God and of my death.

Pues si, Palero sépase well as work with the dead, we muerteros of religion. It is the

complicated part of it because as the Yoruba say: ICU LEVI OCHA, "El Santo Muerto

to appear," ie there is no Holy Ifá or if there is no death.

From the second half of the eighteenth century, Cuba began to form in the early

settlements in the Bantu culture with defined character, which were united at the

beginning of the nineteenth century. It was said that because of French Congo, with

its strong features, dominated the rest of the ethnic groups were Mondongo, Bisongo,

Timbiseros, Mandingos, etc.. Root of Imbisa brought what are the current state of

Zaire, Congo, Angola and Mozambique.

None preserved the purity of their origin, however, is the second largest group of cults

of African origin in Cuba.

Rules are divided into three main Mayombe (more or less pure sincretizada) Briyumba

or Brillumba (mixed with Rule Ocha) and Kimbisa, the latter established by Andrés

Petit, to consolidate the powers of Catholicism and Santeria cult in Congo (as in giving

birth to mixed Briyumba to practice religion, it is called 'Santa Cruz' or 'Palo

crossover), which quickly spread to the other, by the need to strengthen, assimilating

some Yoruba Christian elements, so the Catholic saints and virgins, and the santeros

mpungos Orishas (deities Palera) are the same as a saint.

Lydia Cabrera wrote in the book "The rule Kimbisa del Santo Cristo del Buen Viaje"

which Petit, his creator, to protect and defend evil and revenge to his supporters

(mainly of the sect Abakuá) hereby establish the Rule Kimbisa, "leaving us in she the

most perfect model of equality or religious syncretism that is produced in Cuba made

a Ajiaco (...) Petit, a revoltillo, took everything from Palo worked with Ocha with Holy

got spiritualism, witchcraft, church, as found for all but defeated (...) took over the

Congo to the Lukumí..

As the chief higher in the Palo Mayombe is Tata Enkise, Father Nganga, the godfather,

who has the expertise to run the 'Pledge' (Nganga-Nkiso) or 'pot', which is like the

house of his dead enslaved to the will of Palero, which hold in the middle of songs, to

predict and advise. Through a deal with the living dead in the 'pot', we look, for

example blood from a chicken, rooster or other animal recently slaughtered and

instead follow the dead and protect against evil.

The Palero, used to guess the Mpakeo Mpaka Mens, a cucuerno that has ingredients

in it and whose magical opening is covered by a mirror that smoking is the sorcerer

and through him the figures that appear from the smoke and also through the

Chamalongos known. The basics is to see the future to fix their lives quickly and

effectively.

The dead are part of daily life as members of the same family, and although there is a

rich mythology as the Yoruba, they have a herbal or botanical knowledge well-

worshiping plants (the presence of the Palo Monte is basic, it is The magical element),

also love all the forces of nature: wind, marine, metals.

Our music songs are poor compared to the Yoruba, but with their own musical

instruments, using their language as a mixture of ritual "kilongo 'in Spanish.

A Rule Bantu as seen in their different rules, in addition to the rich Yoruba and

Catholicism imposed some elements of the rites spiritists on what this ethnic

heterogeneity (the same as santeros, they are not educated Africans are as accurate as

in Cuba in their country of origin).

Upon arrival, be referred or recommended a specific person where Palero, the first

thing you see is, record, to know that it weighs, what is wrong, or where they are

making mistakes in life, this would consultation with the Nganga, pledge and not to

the foundation, it all depends on the house of death where it originates. Is this really

where the crux of the religion itself, since in each house Ifá, Palo Santo, or change the

customs, some are turning away from the true essence of it and all others are

preserved faithfully in his footsteps and their secrets.

You can start by delivering LUCERO, a beneficent spirit, equal to Eleggua in Santeria.

Who is going to open doors in the life of the neophyte. There are plenty of ways to

make a LUCERO, for various purposes, without necessarily involving the delivery to

begin in Religion.

The loading or filling that have LUCERO vary depending on the Casa de Palo,

nevertheless, should always have more or less the same components.

LOS LUCEROS

The day that suits you, but once weekly, it will put a glass of water, a cup of black

coffee without sugar, you blow BadFaith (Cane Clara), you smoke and you miss the

smoke snuff (Sunga )

What is a LUCERO?

As we said before a Lucero Eleggua is comparable with, although not equal are very

similar. Its basic function is the same: open the paths of human beings.

The Lucero is the first thing that must be initiated before delivery and for various

reasons, either based on the Rule of Palo, or for a specific purpose without the person

necessarily have to "scratch" or to enter it.

Will always be a different burden of proof to Lucero (against envy, horrified dead

Bilongo) that opens a path lucero (health, prosperity and economic development).

In either case above, the LUCERO be loaded depending on what is recommended by

the Godfather, and of course by the provisions of the same garment, that is his death.

They are born depending on their role or what they have to exist.

Before the "Load" LUCERO a "must investigate as to be done, as is known, since they

have names, as you would like to attend. As the load usually carried:

Land of the four (04) of corners where you live, land Bakery, Market, Church, Rio

Cemetery, shoes, Pionier, a piece of gold, a piece of silver, hooks, quicksilver, bone

filing (if to substantiate), guava buds, sticks lined, and others who do not disclose

secrets.

Besides all this he must eat to Lucero that arises is, it must sacrifice a chicken or a

rooster, depending on what prompted the largest garment, the Lucero acquire life after

you have received blood (Menga) of animal that was used.

A LUCERO not only cares for his protégé, but also their home and their property, will

open the roads and make the impossible thing possible.

The day that suits you, but once weekly, it will put a glass of water, a cup of black

coffee without sugar, you blow BadFaith (Cane Clara), you smoke and you miss the

smoke snuff (Sunga )

Because you see some houses in Santo, prohibit, for example, drinking liquor with

Obatala collar job, forced to remove it prior to Aley. Question that I respect, but do not

share, because if Obatala represents the head, when we drink the more we need

wisdom and Head, and necklaces that is precisely what protects it.

Another big difference is that there are homes where respect for elders is imposed,

instead of being won by the same major. Detestable thing are the famous and believe

that the fines are to be godsons solve the economic problems that have the Godfather,

or who are their slaves. If a godson Godfather helps some opportunity to leave your

heart to Okan Okan (from heart to heart). Do not accept this in our house as they

always should be the Man who will help the godchild, How will it help save a marriage

that has a Godfather yours broken? or How I'm going to help solve if I'm financially

worse?. In a few words as to what we can offer is not peace, health, stability, etc., Is

for you to those who will try to resolve that particular situation, and who seeks to

resolve.

In Religion Lukumí no discrimination exists in theory, and that is why we resort to the

same sex, prostitutes, crooks of various kinds and stop for you. With regard to this, in

my house in Palo, vicious or I do not let strangers simply because they do not see

natural, although the Orishas and the dead do not discriminate. Here I go over to FTI,

where neither admit. This is not the case at other houses, and less on Palo Santo

homes where this is the agenda, where almost all are well.

To enter the field, I want to say that basically the responsibility Palo, you learn to have

power or mastery over life and death of others. That is why I believe that Palero really

need to see and analyze well or those who are going to grant that power. This is a

double edged sword because I do not know or cares for the rules usually ends up mad,

sick and in the best case until killed by their own dead.

Palero be done to have been born for this. It also has to go through the ceremony

RAYO Rayamiento or, as the Cubans, this, that is just not happening around the

world. I have seen handsome brave or abandoned in action.

The beam is a complicated and delicate ceremony whose main object is the delivery of

a dead person, who will work with and for you and whose spiritual ascent or descent

will depend on how you use, whether for good or evil.

It is my duty to emphasize that this religion was born and was originally developed in

Africa, there exist among at least 550 known languages and dialects. Therefore they

must have many variations in Santeria and Palo Mayombe, but is essentially the same

thing, the cult of the dead, the spirit or spirituality.

I know in the branches, which are CONGO, MANDINGO ARARA and there are many

more where these differences came to America from the African Continent, then notice

that in Cuba, it is not working like the dead in Haiti, nor as made in Brazil, Santo

Domingo, Trinidad, etc.. in almost all sides are working differently.

Here in Venezuela we fall into the trap of thinking that is a new religion, where

ignorance know its origins. Estimated that Palo Mayombe is as or more

old in the country that Spiritualism and the adoration of Mary Lionza, only less well

known and widespread, this assertion, I am considering that the Godfather of my

Padrino, that is, in my grandfather PALO came from Haiti to Venezuela for the years

1908 or 1909, and that is my Godfather RAYO in 1937, this server in 1970, calculate

how long you have my house stick in the country. I want to clarify that I respect all

the houses of Palo, and my intention is not to say that mine is regarded as a pioneer,

I'm not interested, and I do not care that people know me or not for this, but if the

works and that in doing this.

From that premise, making history, arrived in Venezuela last century one of the most

interesting and followers of the cult of the dead has ever known. I mean the German

Dr. Knoche, who according to history or legend, not only was he who discovered the

injection of mummification, but worked and worshiped the dead. It is said that this

had a Nganga, and that was precisely what led her who died in their experiments.

Dr. Knoche was the founder of the Hospital San Juan de Dios, was an exceptional

doctor and owner of a mysterious personality. When this dies, due to ignorance of the

people of the time, destroyed his notes of his garment away, his library and with all

their knowledge.

Recently, when research has been done about the life and work of this mystical

character, and even made TV programs. To disseminate, but unfortunately in Finnish

mythology, forgetting the essence of its scientific work.

Nonetheless, the Venezuelan people of that time wove a series of legends that

compared to Dr. Frankenstein Knoche with a latino, and misrepresenting the true

story of his life and work. For researchers is the task of determining which is the

absolute truth about our character.

Moreover, taking into account that Venezuela also arrived slaves from Africa, also due

to arrive here their religion and their branches, only that these were not as advertised,

and held in secret.

To make a reference, before emancipation, ie, the end of slavery in the country, people

like La Negra Francisca, his brother Philip and the other Black, better known in the

spirit, and knew of the existence of Santeria and Palo Mayombe. I reach this

conclusion because they were of African origin, mostly in children Ñañingos, Carabali,

Araras, Mandingo, Lukumíes etc.

Religion in Venezuela Lukumí was popularized by the Cuban Santero Juana Maria

Montes de Oca (The girl Montes de Oca). This character made or received Santo Santo

of Madrina Selmira Alvarez (Oshun Lai) and his Oyubbona Alicia Angarita (OSA Gueye)

This ceremony took place in Cuba, crowning Obatala, whose name translates in Santo

"La Casa de los Santos" (Ocha Inle).

Basically this "Holy House is where we come in almost every country

But it is an enormous mistake to believe that this great Iyalocha Santero has been the

first in the country. Again, who was with his great love and the popular heart, to the

extent that through it we had a Santero, Orihateses, since she invited the country to

come Babalawos, Olúos, Obbas, etc.., Amen to it devoted to teaching well to their

godchildren.

To determine whether a person has done or not Holy, or not Babalao or Olúo, Palero

or not, we refer to the sponsors that we delivered in the Holy Ifá or Palo. As will we all

know or at least have heard of our Godfathers, which is or is not recognized as a

member of the Religion.

No siempre se tiene la suerte de hacerse Santo con el Padrino de Collares, quien nos

ha entregado algún Santo o de quien más nos simpatice, muchas veces se tienen

hasta cinco o seis (05 o 06) Padrinos antes de hacer Santo. Is that just me and that's

why I say it properly: Sometimes a remedy can be very good for some and very bad for

others.

I have met many people in the Holy religion that crown with the same person who

received the Elekes. Some have fared well with Godfather or Godmother and others

not, and that's not the fault of the god-child, but the Godfather is assumed that is who

has the wisdom.

Of course there are mutual obligations between the Godfather and godson, but these

have been distorted or twisted. This topic will be discussed extensively later.

There are many ways as we work to death, and many houses of Palo Tatas or heads of

them that are called or known as TATA Nganga. These gentlemen have and have had

the responsibility to maintain the customs of our ancestors, kept the secret of religion,

like the Babalochas, Iyalochas, and Olúos Babalawos.

The legacies of our elders have tried to leave the unpolluted, so tell them the

commandments of the religion in general, then explain what the foundation of our

branch, which is curious for the majority of letters or signs that are extracted the

circulation of the snails or Diologún. Many think that this is an intrusion in Palo

Ocha, but they learned and taught:

OCANA not do anything wrong.

ELLIOCO not negatively criticizing or hating your brother.

OGGUNDA not kill, injure or revenge of your peers.

YROZO not slander or cheating your brother.

Oche do not envy your neighbor.

OBBARA not lie or deceive.

ODDIO No murmuring, deny, or accept corruption. Do not miss intelligence

ELLEUNLE, use either the head.

OSA not betray the brother, not to be false.

OFUN No cursing, false swearing, stealing or theft.

Do not ruin OJUANI killing. Learn to be grateful.

Do ELLILA scandals, to avoid tragedies, the life of the property address.

You notice how these commandments or precepts are much like the sermons Catholic,

Christian, and consistent with most religions.

In Palo Mayombe, the Supreme Being, ie God, is Sambi ..

We regularly NZULU Sambi Sambi Ntoto, which means literally God in heaven God on

earth. In the branch PALO must distinguish what is known as branch and branch

Jewish Christian.

Before an initiation ceremony, the Tata or Godfather, you must after consultation with

the Dead, which is the number of dead will walk the Aley. This is where lies the secret

of the garment or the Nganga or walk as they say in Cuba, who snore mambo, because

not all walk with EGGUN person.

Something that is much criticized by other religions is that we rescued a deceased

person who has not "scale" or is "penando" and we "work" for us, if you like what you

read, believe it or not, that to be tal scale of winning or not punish him granted

everything you asked. And here is the dilemma or danger, as it will determine whether

you will be dead in a light or not.

In some houses of Palo prepared only Jews are Nganga through which damage is

done, and by the way are double-edged sword, because there are times

that the deaths are in encaprichar harm a family member or even kill them if not

treated well.

The Nganga or PRENDA CHRISTIAN is one that is used for good and in the worst case,

to do justice, you can do from a cure evicted by doctors to things that are regarded as

miracles.

Why do they meet the Dead? Because you will give spiritual elevation and will indulge

with that you ask if it is something logical.

The Dead live within the Nganga, in most cases are about cazuelas iron tripod and

various sizes of clay pots can be or as I originally gave me was a great totum. Among

them is where you live or dead INFIUMBI. These pots should be filled or "charged" with

a series of tools that are usually 1 or stone OTA, 1 set of tools like the warriors,

QUIYUMBA or bones of the dead (The quiyumba is the skull of the deceased) , Series 1

Land, 1 lot of various styles of trees, some strings attached to keep the dead wood that

can be 1 Guava, Alamo or other tree, depending on the Casa de Palo, red or purple

cloth 1 if Christian, Jewish, and if black, 1 machete, 1 and carries a sharp knife

endless secrets, which by no secrets I'll be counting.

Once that has been "Rayado" his godfather will be delivered around CHAMALONGOS

O CHAMALONES OBI or coconut shells, which are four (04), each game, also known

as the language of the dead, and that in the absence of Horse (who receives the spirit

of the deceased or other spirit) or in any other case, are used to know you mean it and

view or record.

The OLUOS Babalawos and consult with the Schools, a chain with eight (08) Cola nut

shell, through them I Orula.

The BABALOCHAS and IYALOCHAS consult with Cauris or Diologún, which are the

famous snails and snail hand despite being twenty-one (21), should be

read only twelve (12), and they talk through the Orishas or Santos.

READING THE CHAMALONGOS

The interpretation or reading of CHAMALONGOS matches the Coco being pulled to the

Orishas and that cross, stick in my house we do from time immemorial, with the

letters of the holy and just read until No. thirteen (13).

Because besides being a big mistake, it would be an intrusion to the land of IFA.

Despite this premise, I must say that in every religion who believes in authority to

change the laws, customs and requirements, yet must be.

CHAMALONGOS

Interrogative interpretation:

If you fall to be launched:

ALAFIA = = Yes, with blessings.

OTAGUA = = Maybe, with struggle.

ELLEIFE = = Yes, no doubt.

OCANA = = No, with struggle.

OLLECANA = = Death, get help.

In each of these letters speak certain Orishas, each has its meaning, the letters are as

perfect allowing to tell who is consulted, so that went with it, or taking ASHE "Don," is

infallible.

You may also ask to be killed by smoking and this is accurate and correctly respond to

each of your questions, and even wooden houses where I allow records to the

questions you want.

The work of cleaning or to obtain a favor, will be marked out of the experience of his or

Palero ASHE, after consulting EGGUN, who ultimately

various purposes.

The form of "Crossing" Letters to Palo Santo, is very simple, if known, and these are:

OCANA. Evil exists so that there is evil. Everything in its place.

ELLIOCO. Arrow between siblings. Conflict with your brother.

OGGUNDA. Discussion tragedy by achieving something.

IROZO. Nobody knows what is in the bottom of the sea, only God knows.

OCHE. The blood runs through his veins. You have life.

OBBARA. King said no lies.

ODDIO. The big fish are taken out with a little luck and good bait.

ELLEUNLE. The head leads the body. Use yours.

OSA. One king rules the people, is a King in your home.

OFUN. Here comes the curse, curse those who curse you.

OJUANI. You are getting water in baskets, not see your effort.

ELLILA. Disorder in life. His best friend, your worst enemy.

Santero or a Palero conscious, to interpret or read the lyrics here, as it relates to other

Olúos or Babalaos.

Note the letters are as much to do with the commandments of our religion, and that is

obviously the goal or objective in mind is the evolution of human beings and their

interaction with the environment.

In turn the letters or signs, we advise you to see what the error being committed and

that has not developed better in life.

Lukumí Religion is a guide to life, a doctrine that if it allows humans to live and

interact in the best manner in which you want OLOFI God.

In Palo Mayombe be emphasized that there are two ways a negative, which is to be

sacrificed to the dead dogs, and other positive pursued a goal of raising both of their

Eggun Palero.

The Chamalongos or Chamalones, coconut shells with which the consultation Palero,

are interpreted as in Santeria by how they fall snails, ie, if they fall face up or face

down. In Chamalongos, it not only addresses whether

fall face up or down but if it is right to left, and always in the bottom horizon.

Once you are familiar with the interpretation of coconut, or how the dead if the

response is positive or negative, we will make the respective opening prayer to the

consultation or registration.

In the House of Palo I began to represent the invocation through the license or permit

is requested and which states:

"With the Nsala Malek, Malek Nsala, Nsambi nzulu, and Queen Mary Nsambi Ntoto

covering Nsambi. Will licensed Lucero is licensed Rays 7, goes on leave

Maringanga will leave Mama Kena, is licensed Mother of Waters, is licensed Baluande

will leave Mama Yola, is licensed Bakuende di Ngola Bamba, is licensed Tiemblo

Earth, Father Time is licensed, is licensed to sore, is licensed Zarabanda will leave

Cape War, is licensed Pollo Ronco, is licensed Godfather ........, I will leave my

deceased older will leave my garment .... ........., will leave with all science, is licensed

throughout the Moana. Eggun Baba, are you here? "

Once ordered the permits were granted to represent the positive response to the

presence of Baba Eggun, who is none other than the Dead, it was you who called.

Later in my house you ask Palo LUCERO, who is always the first one who opens and

closes all doors of the universe and that is equivalent to Eleggua. Luego a TIEMBLA

TIERRA, comparable con OBATALA, dueño de las Cabezas, de la inteligencia, de la

nobleza. And finally MAMA Yola, compared with the Venus of religion, ie with Oshun,

the master of love and money.

Ask LUCERO, that you are the owner of the doors and the paths of the universe,

márquemele point to this creature of God who is called ........ shells are launched, still

on the ground directly, a a carpet or leather animal slaughtered in a ceremony. These

two are released (02) times and form the first letter, which is most important.

It continues: TIERRA TIEMBLO you who owns the head of health, the white parts of

the human being, of intelligence, please dial letter. Touch the forehead of the

consultation with the Chamalongos and said: With the permission of your Guardian

Angel ... and release and interpret couple of times.

Finally sent to the registered joining both hands with palms open you attaching them

with his thumb and index finger, and hold the letter will be removed without releasing

the person, saying:

MAMA Yola, Oche, Mama Pachanga you who is the master of love and money, check

this point the creature at his feet. This operation twice, and then thanks to the real

truth. The reading of the letters.

I must remind you that each number represents a letter. As described.

Palo Ocha Ifá

1. Losí Ocana Ocana

These are letters that are managed to the level that can be explained, and which are

the guide who consults to look into the past and present of the person being

registered. Although Olúos Babalawos known and mastered and more letters, just to

get us here.

The Chamalongos or shell, are interpreted depending on how many fall down or up,

and by his order.

To make more understandable the points divide into two groups:

8 2 14 7 4 11 6 1

3 9 12 13 15 16 5 10

Again, take into account those who fell face up and face down, and always, always

from the bottom up. Taking this into account, there is no margin for error, since the

letter will be analyzed accurately.

The rest is mixed with the ASHE what he says in the letter itself and you will

undoubtedly hit upon the issue of consultation.

May mistakenly believe that anyone can read or interpret the lyrics, but let me tell you

that not only give the Ashe Ceremonies of Consecration of anything nor serve them

letters or its meaning, apart from that experience is also needed to provide just the

years of consultation.

You can not make mistakes, because even a life may depend on you would be a great

sin to play with the faith of others.

As if each letter in two, ie LUCERO by asking for the letter of particular person and

come OGGUNDA (3), this should be a couple, then why are launched twice when you

ask a saint. If the second roll leaves UNLE, Ogbe (8), the letter will be OGGUNDA

Ogbe.

Taking into account that Oggunda Tragedy is by obtaining a thing or Elleunle Ogbe

and is the head, use it well, you can tell that they have consulted the tragedies to

come, if discussions do not use either the head.

The letters are formed and reduced by two points and depending on the strength of it

also tends to be one or may even be Mellis or Morochas, ie if a Oche, then goes in the

same area Oche again, this Oche MELLI point is, which is the same Oche but with a

strong definition.

The letters are therefore simple combinations of letters to be joined to analyze in depth

and consulted their problems.

To have a better idea, you should pay close attention to the following points:

OCANA

(1)

Speaking of bad luck in setbacks, mistrust, tragedy, accidents, enemies in the family,

revolutions.

Should beware of dog bite or other animal.

As you are blindfolded, you do not see solutions to their problems or have them in

front.

Do not be violent, will not be stopping in the hands of justice or will get into trouble

with it. You should not travel for a while.

Do not lift a hand to anyone for any reason whatsoever.

Do not keep anything from anyone at home, not to be doubtful as to proceed and

justice will make him a "visit".

Be aware and condescending to his wife or concubine to avoid any misfortune.

Beware of businesses that have or will be present, especially with the legality of them

will not stop behind bars.

Ebbo to remove or diminish the bad lyrics:

Clean chicken with black, gender or black cloth, white plate and fiber for the signature

of recollection.

Of course the right of this work, ie, payment for being clean.

ELLIOCO

(2)

Some people envy you and you want to remove the little luck you have.

Do not lend his own, as it will have problems to claim and recover the loan.

You should never renege or less cursing in your home.

Should seek to receive from the hands of a Jimaguas Santero.

Have a dead stop in your home can also be death.

Should be reserved for things, not counting all it does or why.

At home there is a large rock or small, in a cup or rather notorious.

You have relatives outside the city or the countryside.

Despite all obstacles, you are already accustomed and thus happy.

For sick child will have to travel.

Sooner or later they will do or where he works chief will head to much.

Vive deceived, cree knowing the world and the truth is that this is not so blind that

could not have stopped or damage that you do have.

Look at the children with affection.

Beware of accidents or illness at the hearing.

It has more bad influences that closed roads.

God and the Saints will give clairvoyance or blunt revelations that he will clarify his

past, present and know where to go in the future.

Ebbo: Triangle velones, the Black Skull, Black and Red 7 bits 7 bits locked husked

and photo and in person to 2 mts. thereafter suit birth.

Recollection bonesetter and everything in order to indicate who made the garment

cleaning.

OGGUNDA

(3)

Do not stand on street corners, these are very bad for you

Never go with people who join with you three (03). Where should not have romantic

relationships with persons engaged or married because if you think about it, you and

three (03).

Control your character, not uncomfortable.

Finish what you start, but do so only because Oggun said he was going to betray

them.

Music in Religion Lukumí

Music plays an important role in Santeria as an integral part of worship. BEMBA used

during the ceremonies invoking the gods to the sound of drums. The rate varies

depending on the Santo you want to call. The insistent sound of the drums is so

strong that it can be heard at great distances.

In Western Africa have been used for religious purposes for centuries, some

percussion instruments such as drum, the xylophone or marimba. That was their

main utility when the slaves brought to America. In Brazil, for example, sacred drums

are made with the skins of animals have been slaughtered according to ritual, and is

usually baptize the new instruments, preferably with water, "blessed" in a Catholic

church. Others represent an Orisha drums in particular, as in the Afro-Caribbean

Haitian culture.

The basic instrument is the drum, and some pieces have titles that are actually names

of deities or custom santeros. Over time, the rhythms of Santeria have been infiltrated

in some productions of Latin music and its terminology has appeared in some songs.
