Mystery Saint Magical Diary Post 12_7_10
Have had a number of TWIN synchronicities lately which combined with my new passion for maya Deren led me to think I should reach out to the Marassa of the Loa
(I've also seen it spelt Lwa)...
Not that I know anything about Voodoo
(I've also seen it spelt Voudon)
So after the latest twin synchronicity at Yoga in the Runyon Canyon I decided to take all that Namaste energy and send it to the Marassa
I set up a simple altar on a wood table
Old but clean white cotton tablecloth
Appropriate Twin ritual decorations
Offering of food and water
The drumming came easily
The spaces in between beats; the shadow choir
Pape Legba limped in with charming asides
Here is where it started to get weird, I got off my chair from in front of the table/altar and playfully got down prostrate before the altar
No thoughts in my mind and a prickly heat
The veve seemed to draw itself really (and I mean I am not good at drawing)
The motions I took to draw it seemed purposeful and instinctual
I got up and danced backwards twice around the veve
scared myself a little
Here is where it got weird again, dancing, body was writhing happily on the wood floor in front of this veve drawing
once I began to calm, I reached down and took some of the sweat from my body and wiped it across the veve wiping it out and then I wiped some of the stain from the veve on my face
Got up and danced for a while to Exuma, I don't know the name of the track but it
is just drums and percussion instruments
Again I scared myself a little
Powerful
Thanks for inspiration to the Waters of Return by Louis Martinie
And thanks to Exuma
