Spiritual Realms THE SPIRITUALITY OF LANGUAGE
September 11, 2017 Obara Meji 30Comment

A part of human evolution is sound, or language. A child is born and the first thing we hear from him is sound as he cries his welcome into the world. As the baby grows he will develop speech which will become a greater part of his intelligence. But did you know that language plays an important part in our spiritual life? It is the word, sound, and command. It is the request, plea, the commitment, the swear and then some. Some of us are fortunate to be born in places where the vibration of the language we speak resonates…

Spiritual Inspiration/Advice THE NEW COMERS OF OBEAH
September 8, 2017 Obara Meji 20Comment

Someone sent me a link to a woman selling or advertising Obeah products. The woman is African American and has a very pleasant personality making her video interesting to watch. I believe she specializes in powders and told would-be customers how to use this or that powder for good or bad. She also said that if people have carpets in their homes or businesses it is perfect for sprinkling the powders. For all the powder sprinkling Obeah workers, this is true. This is why I often advise those close to me to avoid using carpets in their homes or business…

Reflections TAKE A LOOK BACK
September 4, 2017 Obara Meji 13Comment

Looking back at my life coming up as a young woman, I had no thought as to who or what I was supposed to be. My parents had ambition for me, I had none. All I wanted to do read books and be comfortable doing so. Reading was and still is my favorite thing to do. Life, however, had other plans for me, and a lot of emotional challenges would be the name of the train I would ride. In hindsight, as I type listening to Lana del Rey this Sunday morning in Nigeria, it was as if I had…

Spiritual Experiences THE UNBELIEVABLE POWERS OF AFRICA
August 26, 2017 Obara Meji 26Comment

As a child in Jamaica if a splinter ran up into our foot my mother would use kerosene oil and then scrape the inside of a green banana, mix it together with something else and tie it on the foot with a material called calico and in no time the splinter would be drawn out. For ring worm she would rub the affected area with lime until it bled, then crush Blue (or Azure) to powder, sprinkle it onto the area and then use a bottle stopper from a beer bottle or a Jamaican D&G and press it hard over…

Spiritual Work/"How To" UNDERSTANDING HOW PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY WORKS
August 23, 2017 Obara Meji 45Comment

In this post I will attempt to show you (real students) how the practical part of spirituality, healing, cleansing or clearing works – or manifests. I always find it best to teach in story form such as with the the story of Frankie and Mawga Dog, (read here). However, with this post I will give a few scenarios and an exercise for your better understanding. If you have been reading my blog and learning anything at all then the exercise should not be too difficult. This blog is a school of life. For those who are willing to participate, do so, because there…

Obeah/Voodoo BLACK AND WHITE OBEAH – DOES IT EXIST?
August 11, 2017 Obara Meji 30Comment

This is the same as asking about black and white magic. I have always been a little unnerved by the word “magic”. It is a term a real occultist or practitioner do not identify with. Why? Because upon hearing this word, regardless of book meaning, the mind goes to the practical magician on a stage who will saw a person in half or pluck silver coins from behind your ears, and spiritism or traditionalism is no way at all like this. The only trickery in spiritual work is the incompetent worker who says he can when he really cannot. For…

Recipes/Spirit Foods/Sacrifices FOOD FOR SPIRITS – DO NOT NEGLECT THEM
August 6, 2017 Obara Meji 26Comment

The other day I was so busy doing all and everything that I had forgotten to eat until on my way back home. My stomach reminded me that I had neglected it. I went and bought some vegan food (been toying with the vegan possibility for a while, but there’s a big spiritual reason why I may not go vegan after all, I will do a post on this soon), and some other kinds of snacks on the side. As I got home and showered, this was about 8 or 9 pm, feeling nicely refreshed, I sat on the veranda…

Ifa/Orisa Tradition THE STORY OF OLORE AND IKA – FROM THE SACRED ODU OF IFA
June 28, 2017 Obara Meji 32Comment

Aboru Aboye Abosise! I greet you all in the traditional Ifa initiate greeting. Today I want to share with you a story. This story is from the sacred “scriptures” of Ifa; specifically from the Odu Ifa nicknamed Ogbe/Sa or otherwise called Ogbe (ug-beh) Osa (Oh-Sah). What is an Odu? An odu is a live energy. Everyone on earth has an odu they were born with. That live energy tells your life destiny on this earth. I suppose it can be likened to the Astrologers way of determining someone’s chart based on how the planets are aligned at the time of your birth….
