However in the diaspora Yemoja and Olokun is…[Read more]

Yes the sneezes are among them. When the sneeze comes three times that is the sign that it is a special sign

Greetings Obara Meji
Thank you for sharing this information.
I have experienced involuntary tremors which force me to utter sounds but I’m no longer shocked when it happened.
Overtime I have noticed that I have been able to respond to questions on matters that I have no knowledge of…

Hi Obara, Thanks again for an insightful blog that uplifts my spirit. At times I find myself yawning a lot and don’t know why. However, I thank you for the explanation because I believe that spiritual experiences are deeply personal and unique to the individual. Your writing demonstrates the power of spiritual communication and the wonders of the unseen world. Thank you for inspiring us to be more open to the signs and messages around us.

You are very welcome my dear

Hahahahah,that’s so me I burp and I yawn .I have learnt to understand the different energies and when they appear .I also am not apologetic about those sounds as most times I don’t realise it ,until I am done with the message.When I started my journey my family would scold at me saying why I eat things that are giving me gas reflux ,until they realised its out of my control ,they are now used to me burping loudly kkkkkkkk

Knowledge indeed is power. Often time I always think and say there must be spiritual reasons why we yarn and sneeze all the time for no reason. Now I think the burden of that tut is broken today and now I have answers to all that confusing experience. Thank u so much ma.. may the LORD of all spirit continue to guide you and give u more knowledge to teach to the world.

Greetings Obara. Thank you for coming out with these powerful knowledge.
I’m imagining you, who prides yourself with composure and decency sitting in one corner of the rows and began to yawn, mouth wide, ending with high pitched yelp, After that, found yourself spinning out of the seat when spirit took over your body and you started moving along with the others in a way that is called 60 Revival I can tell how funny your moves would be LOL!Obara I know most of the time when someone yawns, with mouth wide ending with high pitched yelp it’s a sign obeah is around. So in this case how do I differentiate between the two to know which one signifies the presence of a higher being and obeah.
Please elaborate a little about the sneeze because I often sneeze continuous at certain hours of the night.

your heart with all the love and
happiness in the world. As I have said in the past, God used you to lead me, to direct me, to correct me and to protect me in ways unbeknownst to you. Thank you for the rare education. Thank you for creating a platform that have influenced my perception of life, a platform that have changed my perspective on life. And most importantly, thank you for changing my life in a very positive and extraordinary way.

It’s sad that i still haven’t met you yet, but everything happens for a reason and everything comes when it must. I just want you to know that i will always ADMIRE you. I will always celebrate APRIL 20 no matter what…no need to say much because I know you’re a very busy person, let me leave the rest to the day I finally meet you in person.
God bless and protect you Obara Meji

Thank you Obara for this post. Very insightful and very detailed. This is very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us about the the water with offering. Thank you again…..
You are welcome my dear
Greetings Cheif Iyanifa
This post has truly highlighted the depth of these bodies of water and the intricacies of our interactions. I am grateful.
It brought me back to the first time I visited the river to give offerings. I had followed the instructions, given by a competent spiritualist , to venerate with as soon as mi arrive….to be honest mi did likkle bit nervous but I still felt safe. This was very early on a Sunday morning and I had entered the area by myself and gave the offering. Shortly after I had finished, 5 men entered the river and greeted me….thinking back, I now wonder if they were human beings . That was an awesome experience for me and I’ve been back many times since then.
There are times when the river or ocean will “send call mi” fi true. Its sorta complex to describe, its a knowing or yearning to “meet with water”. It’s as if the energies of the water can embrace and soothe issues away.
On another note, I have noticed that in recent times, some young men have been gallivanting at flat bridge, dem deh guh live pon tiktok and a run joke bout dem si mermaid and dem swim guh, dem swim come fi prove seh the water harmless. Something about it nuh sit well with me.
It does not sit well
With me either IB
Awesome post Sis-
Two questions though- just for clarification- you said Oshun is for the river/Water spirit? I dont know why I had it as Olokun. Or is Olokun for the ocean.
Secondly, when you say if you goto the Ocean/beach and you take something like a shell or stone you should exchange payment for it – how do you do that? Do you just leave coins in the sand or throw it into the water? I would think throwing into the water might be littering and offensive to the water God/Goddess.
What is the best way to leave something in exchange?
Blessed Love
Lincoln
Nice to see your here Lincoln. The name of the water goddess in Yoruba land is Osun, however there are several water gods and goddesses of the river and that includes Osun, Obaa, Irinle, Yemoja ,Olokun and some more. Each residing at different areas of the water and owner of that particular place.
However in the diaspora Yemoja and Olokun is venerated at the Ocean and that is because they say that during the middle passage both accompanied the enslaved to the new world. In Africa they are worshiped at the river named after them.
In Brazil there is a yearly festival to Yemoja at the Ocean and the Haitians refers to her as La’siren. Or Erzili of which they are a group of water deities.
It is best to throw coins to the body of water river or Ocean and it is not littering at all because at the bottom of any body of water you will find metal. The amount of sunken ships at the ocean floor.
If you throw coins to the sand it is also hood however it will be shared among the deities and the invisible guardians there. If you like you can do both. I generally give the guardians their own gift and the deities their own to the water.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you my dear
Thank you always
Obara please I have a question, in a situation where one knows the particular river that their Goddess resides/rules but for reasons such as security, stigma and illiteracy of the community members (Village where the river is) when it comes to African spirituality, can the individual go to another river
and invite her water family there for rituals and offerings? Also, what’s your take on dried up river bodies?
Yes you can venerate your deity even over a glass of water from
The kitchen sink. The wate is not the deity, it and all it embodies entertains the deity and as so you can generate the deity there. However the diety isnwith you always. I will do a post on dries up rivers and the reason why. Thanks for the comment, stay blessed!
D’jaunae, depending on the time you had this, this may have been an experience for real. I wouldn’t call this one a dream.
But you have to understand that the quality or personality of Beings that are not humans are not 100% understanding to the human mind. For instance, if a Being seems stern in your vision/experience, that sternness may not mean the same thing as how it means in our reality. It’s hard to qualify the look of a Being in a dream to say that this is how that Being is/feels. Remember, those that acts outside of the human body, do not operate through emotion.
More to understand but one thing I must tell you is that when ever you have dream experiences of any non-human beings, you must always approach your interpretations from a spiritual perspective if you want to understand it best.
You might see an emotion in a dream because your brain translates these images to you through the meanings you have learned about them, but dream emotions do not hold the same meaning as they do in your reality. Use a more spiritual approach to strip away the images attached to the message until you find the message itself.
The items that are brought to the ocean or river has to do with your intention. So the intention (your mind) sets the stage of your offering. However, while the ocean is salty, the river is sweet. And both accepts sweet things but the minds of men can be bitter in what he wants and desires from unseen forces.
Normally, we do not give Nature what it does not ask for and this is why it is always good to be guided when doing anything with spirit or unseen forces. While I would love to tell you what to bring to the ocean or river, I don’t want to mislead people by telling you that any particular item can work for any desire. However, if you are in the position to visit these places, try to seek out a mentor or guide who is competent enough to point you in the direction of what to bring and this should match your intention.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for being here Marcogie. It is always good to go into Nature and sit by the river side or ocean side and just meditate and feel the energy that is there and put your own energy out, communicating with spirit around.
However, the same thing is done when you go to your kitchen sink and fill a glass of water and speak to it. It may not be the same ambience as sitting out by the river bank, but the same energy is within that glass of water that your just filled. Again, everything is intention and intention works through the mind. So if your intention is to bring something good and prosperous towards you, and you hold a glass of water and are able to raise your consciousness enough to align your intention with the energy that is filled in that glass, then you are able to do anything or to command anything that you wish.
The only reason it will not work is if you doubt what you are doing. Always remember that water reacts quickly to positive wishes. So try to keep all intentions within that realm.
