Commission of the slaves, freedom and triumph!

If one Court of Spirits fully embodies resiliency and overcoming insurmountable odds, it is the Commissions of Slaves. Few things make my blood boil like the institution of slavery. I am not just speaking of humanity's past affiliation, but more specifically, the modern continuation. 

Did you know human slavery and trafficking are alive and well? Did you know it is a TRILLION dollar industry? Did you know that right now, this very moment, more humans are being kept as slaves than in any known point in human history? So the real question is, what are you going to do about it? It is definitely something worth thinking about. 

The Court of the Salves is comprised of fierce fighters and stalwart guardians. They know better than almost anyone what fear, hopelessness, and unbearable anguish feel like. They lived it and do not want anyone else to suffer what they did. For this reason, the Commission of Slaves often works harder than most to resolve problems and bring about favorable results. 

I was mounted by a slave spirit some years ago. He taught my temple the mystery of the chain by saying, "what bound me yesterday is what I used to liberate myself today." A simple shift in perception to see the chains of oppressors as the weapons of liberation against tyrants. They provided you the tool. It is up to you how you use it. You make the tool work for them or against them...it is your choice. The Court of the Slave spirits hope you work against evil, and I concur. 

Mediums need to be cautious and prepare themselves correctly for interaction with the Commission of Slaves. This Court of Spirits requires a person to do elevation work for both themselves and the Commission. For one, a great deal of sadness and despair surrounds the spirits of this Court. Extraordinarily vengeful (in almost all cases rightly so) and broken spirits exist on the edge of the Commission, just outside. These damaged spirits and collective unfettered rage can wreak havoc in the life of an unelevated medium. 

Three points of light, candles, are required for effective and productive mediumship. One for the Court. One for the medium. Finally, one for the door/road by which the medium and the spirit meet. The Door and Road mysteries are taught primarily through two of the Chief Loa. The Doos mysteries by Papa Legba and the Legba Division and that of the Road by Ogun Balendjo and the Ogun or Nago Division. 

Spirits of the Court of the Slaves are generally warm and affectionate. They make excellent spiritual healers, especially for those who have been traumatized, and tend to be very protective of specific individuals. Anyone causing that person trouble will likely find themselves plagued by frequent mishaps and calamities. Slave spirits often favor children and go out of their way to help them. This Commission is also skilled in getting someone out of unhealthy and or abusive relationships. 

In developing a relationship with the Court of the Slaves, the medium will notice, contrary to certain expectations, this Commission is not dominated by the spirits of any former racial incarnation. Black slaves, White slaves, Brown slaves, and Yellow slaves are all present. Neither is this Court of spirits necessarily anchored to any specific point in time. One of the primary concerns of this spiritual Curt is that the Commission keeps growing in number. This is not what they want, as this means people are currently dying as slaves in the modern world, something they want us to be aware of and attempt to curtail.

Serve the Commission of Slave spirit warm, dark coffee, with a little sugar. They enjoy a shot of rum and tobacco. Sugarcane and Coconut water are refreshing, cleansing, and sweetening. Purple and white candles are also welcomed.

Offer prayers to God and then speak the prayer to El Negro Felipe and El Negro Francisco. These are two well known and high ranking spirits within the Commission of the Slaves. They will hear your petitions and open the way for the other spirits. 

PRAYER TO EL NEGRO FELIPE & EL NEGRO FRANCISCO

Negro Felipe and Negro Jose, you that were captured from your motherland of Africa and brought to the Americas against your will. By God sent and by the Virgin protected. In Africa, you where a king, a prince, and of noble blood. Striped of your honorable titles and given the title of Slave. But still you endured and became immortalized as ever wise and ever humble, and the very descended of those who persecuted you, today honor you as living saints of the celestial courts.

Oh, Negro Felipe and Negro Francisco, I ask that you make impotent those that wish to strip me of my freedom, and wish to conquer my mind, body, soul, and my freewill. Keep away from me all black magic, evil intentions, and ill will. All this, I ask with much faith and reverence of the eternal freedom bestowed upon you by the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Ayibobo.

Spiritual Father of the Temple of the Machete Who wins all Battles, and offers services through his Online Shop. Papa Machete welcomes all people, of any race, gender, orientation, or ability. His only conditions are that you love God, love humanity, and are willing to stand for what is truly right, not just what is popular.

Commission of the Sailors, Set Sail!

Created for the Temple of the Machete who wins all Battles.

Do you feel as if you've been shipwrecked? Maybe lost at sea? Are you confused about what course to take, or what heading to follow? Are you surrounded by pirates, be they spiritual or physical? If so, it is time to request aid from the Sailor commission. 

Sailors are rough and tumble spirits, who will brave the most turbulent seas and sail through the scariest storms with you. They will never desert you, and they got your back in any kind of fight. Sailors are steadfast allies, possessing wisdom and compassion as vast as the ocean. They are pure of heart and strong of arm. 

In my spiritual work, I call upon the Court or Commission of the Sailors often. Puerto-Rican Vodou, or Sanse, being under the cosmic Loa or emanation of God known as Gran Simbi Rey del Agua (King of the Waters) or KIng Molinu, is a very "watery" tradition. This means it is cool, refreshing, and heavy on the cleansing and purification of its adherents and spirits. The Court of the Sailors are well suited for this tradition and can pass on many of its secrets. However, as elevating as Sanse is, it is nothing to trifle with. My enemies have been both sunk and stuffed into Davy Jone's locker with the help of the Sailor spirits. 

I set a course on some dark seas, and I did so a long time ago. In many, many ways, I am THE Father of Occult-based/Magical Resistance to evil for the modern world. My documented work on my blogs alone lends weight to that claim as well as those who knew the spirit I channeled back in 2009. In that time, I have been the target of direct retaliation by the forces I've targeted and been the target of petty jealousy by petty and highly forgettable people. 

Sanse does not send curses or aggressive magic, that is what Palo Mayombe and Ceremonial Magic are for. Puerto-Rican Vodou, or Sanse, is a spiritual tradition resembling a mighty fortress, a great white tower. I put my charges, my people, under the protection of the "lighthouse" and pray for their elevation. Defending the Lighthouse of Sanse is the mighty 7 Chief Loa and the 21 Commissions of Spirits. The Commission of the Sailor Spirits is a potent and highly adept Court for just such work.

Time and time again, my enemies have attempted to harm me and breach the Lighthouse. Time and time again, my enemies are and will continue to be decisively outmatched and outgunned. The Court of the Sailors swarming and capturing their spiritual vessels. I offer the prayer of the Shipwrecked to those lost and desperate souls who find themselves sinking into the dark depths of the Kalunga, sea of the dead due to their poor decisions and arrogance. 

Puerto-Rican Vodou or Sanse is a spiritual practice for the truly courageous. Standing in the radiance of the Lighthouse is to acknowledge the evil in this world and renounce it. The brighter the light you attain and the more elevated you become, the more you see which is wrong and sick in the world. It takes a brave heart and steely resolve to publically renounce and work against the modern human slave trade and trafficking of humans. These two vile institutions, perhaps containing the sum total of the worse humanity has to offer.  

When I first began talking about this in 2009 on the internet, many denied my claims. They said there was no Illuminati, no global cabal of evil men in league with evil spirits and interdimensional forces. How foolish they look now. They proclaim to be against profane institutions of yesteryear but are cowards to the very present and very real incarnations of those same institutions. It is easy to say brave things, but it is a much different matter to do heroic things. 

"Everyone wants to be a lion until its time to do lion things."

There are members on the Court of the Sailor Spirits who were indirectly or directly involved in the Slave Trade during their physical lives. They desire the chance to make up for past wrongs and regrets. I am a priest of Puerto-Rican Vodou who is not blind to the happenings of the current world. I am more than happy to offer these spirits the opportunity to work against the modern slave trade directly.  

The spirits of each of the 21 Commissions are all looking for good works to preform so they may achieve light and progress, atoning for misdeeds they committed in life. All we need to do is recognize the need for useful spiritual labors and petition the Commissions for their intercession. We pray for the good spirits and for the coming to the light for the wicked spirits. In turn, they help us. It is through this understanding of Sanse's principles both my temple and myself have such impenetrable protection granted by the 7 Chief Loa and 21Commissions of Spirits, which includes the Court of the Sailors. 

To make contact with the Court of the Sailors, provide services for them with the colors of Blue and White. Ask for the grace and favor of God first and then call to the Court of the Sailors. Offer them water, coconut water, lime juice, unsweetened coffee, and tobacco smoke. Sailor spirits enjoy a shot of white rum and perfumes such as bay rum and Old Spice.  

Offer the Court of the Sailors the prayer of the Shipwrecked.

Prayer of the Shipwrecked

Place your vision upon me, my Lord, I a meek and unhappy creature.

Do not allow my grave to be within the waves of the sea. Give me the strength and courage to arise from the depths of the abyss, 

and if it is your will, grant me the grace to accept the unknown.

For your mysteries and goodness are incomparable. I am like a fragile boat and have become arrogant, thinking I can cross the sea of men, looking only for pleasures. I ask you, Father, to allow me to touch the coastal land and renew my vows to be kind, charitable, and more Christian-like. 

If I in my arrogance have become lost within the waves and the mists, as I try to defy the storm and the rising foam. I vow that I will not have the audacity to ignore the deafening cries and laments of those that suffer within the sea.

And if I in continuing my course through life ignored the Lighthouse that my port designated for me. I vow my God never again to mock the light that shines upon the Cross of your beloved Son.

Oh my heavenly Father, you that hear the prayers of the afflicted, distressed, mournful, desolate, and troubled souls.

You see that I have become repentant of the life I once lead. Save me, Lord, before it is too late, for I repent and have strayed from the life I once lived.

Now ask for the aid and intercession of the Sailor spirits. Tell them about your sufferings and ask who you can aid in helping them elevate and progress in both the light and the name of God. Puerto-Rican Vodou, or Sanse, is all about mutual benefit under the benediction of God.  

My temple has several Sailor spirits who come down and mount during services. They have very distinct methods of blessing and cleansing during our ceremonies. However, specifics are for temple members and attendees only. The importance of the Court of the Sailors cannot be overstated. The Court of the Sailors should receive regular service to keep you spiritually clean and protected. The Commission of the Sailors spirits are some of the fiercest and most stalwart defenders one can have. My enemies and the enemies of Sanse found that out the hard way, so will yours.

Three lines of New World Voudo but one fight for humanity!

New World Voudou is religion founded in the Diaspora. Haitian Voudou is best known, but there are three primary lines of Voudou. Dominican, Haitian, and Puerto Rican. All three lines of New World Voudou are monotheistic. God is absolute, ineffable, flawless, and eternal. In Haiti, God is Papa Bondye, in Dominican and Puerto Rican lines, God is Papa Bon Dios. They are the same God; only the French and Spanish languages denote a difference.

Voudou is a spiritual counter to the institution of slavery. For humanity to advance, the keeping of slaves (a world-wide practice) needs to be globally outgrown. In the Diaspora, the forced culmination of cultures, namely African, European, and Native Islander created a perfect storm. All three cultures had a societal elite who engaged in selling their people as slaves. All three cultures had people who experienced the horrors of this trade. All three cultures came to mingle on the Island of Hispanola (Haiti/Dominican Republic) and right next door the Island of Puerto Rico.

The spiritual practices of each culture came to bear against one another. But instead fighting for dominance, an act of divine intercession occurred. All three divinities merged and found that cooperative action is best of the survival of their respective people.

In my lineage of Voudou, there is a story which best describes this situation. Other houses have the iconography, but they do not seem to know the story. Out of love and respect for Voudou, I will share the story to once and for all erase the notion Voudou is only for certain people.  In Dominican Voudou and Puerto Rican Voudou, the image of Our Lady of Charity hovering over three men in a boat is a prevalent one. But ask who those men are, and you likely will draw blank stares and cryptic answers.

They are the Three-Johns. Black John, Indio John, and White John. Representatives of the Africans, the Natives, and the Europeans cultures. They find themselves all in the same boat as slaves. None of them asked to be there, none of them want to be there, and none of them particularly like one another. The only thing they share is the desire to go home. All three men are paddling in a different direction, each towards their respective homeland.

A storm blows in, and the ocean gets choppy.  Each John rows harder and harder, but still, the boat goes nowhere. Each John begins to pray in their native tongue for divine intercession. A woman appears above them, and the storm calms. Black John sees her as Yemaya. Indio John sees her as Attaberia, and White John recognizes Mother Mary. None of them are wrong.

Our Lady of Charity tells the Three-Johns they can never return to the world they once knew. However, they could go home in the New World, but only together. The skies clear, and the New World, the shore of the Americas lay insight. They begin to paddle in the same direction not just as three men but now as three brothers.

New Word Voudou was born, one-third African, one-third Indio, and one-third European. Anyone saying that New World Voudou is only for certain people is ignorant of the religion. They do not speak for the Loa, The Cemis, the Saints or any of the 21 Commissions of Spirits. No way do they speak for God! New World Voudou belongs to the New World and all its people. There is no chosen race, and there is no chosen one. God's chosen people are all people.

God, PapaBon Dios, or Papa Bondye is a mystery which is simply beyond human comprehension. Therefore God delegates power, in a descending hierarchical fashion, to beings who we can comprehend. In New World Voudou, there are three beings, or Loa, which are the closest to God that humans can understand and to us appear directly under God. All three Loa have direct ties to the sun of our solar system and operate on a cosmic level.

They are:

Gran Solier is the light of the sun.
Gran Toro Sentao is the heat of the sun.
Gran Simbi Rey Del Agua also known as King Monlinu, is the sun's light sparkling on the waters.

Only in the most exceedingly rare circumstance would they directly intervene in human affairs. It is a near certainty they would not directly communicate with humans either, as humans are not advanced enough to make sense of their language. These Loa speak through other Loa. Loa who have the ears to hear them and the tongue to communicate to humans.  That is not to say Gran Solier, Gran Simbi or Gran Toro are not reachable by prayers, it just goes chain of command and similarly back down.

We can see the Three Brothers, the Three Johns, as a microcosm to the macrocosm of Three Gran Loa.

Gran Solier-White John-European Culture
Gran Toro Sentao- Black John-African Culture
Gran Simbi Rey Del Aqua- Indio John-Indo Culture

It is through the will of God and transmissions of there three powerful Gran Loa that New World Voudou came into being. Going a step further, we can see the difference between these transmissions as the crystallized up the material plane, each with the same mission, but in its specific way.

Gran Toro Sentao

Haitian Voudou is most certainly the purest transmission of Gran Toro Sentao, the most African in tradition and line of Voudou where animal sacrifices are most common. It was from Gran Toro Sentao the mighty Petro Loa where born. The Petro answered the call for revolution against tyranny and demanded the blood of former slaver masters as payment for the petition.

Gran Solier

Dominican Voudou is the transmission of Gran Solier. European spiritist practices of Alan Kardec and the Mes Blanca or White Table serving as the foundation for Dominican Voudou. A backdrop for the prismatic spray of 21 colors, each containing the specific frequency for a particular Division of Loa. The oldest of the three lines of New World Voudou, Dominican or 21 Divisions Voudou, gave the order of hierarchy for its younger siblings.

Gran Simbi Rey del Agua

Puerto Rican Voudou, also known as Sanse, is guided and influenced most strongly by Gran Simbi Del Agua or King Molinu. Also seen as Yo-Cha-Hu, the Great Sky Father of the Taino peoples and head of the Cemi, the spirits of the Taino. In Sanse there is not only the Divison of the Indio headed by the Indo Loa Tinjo Alawe but the Commission of the Indio Spirits. The Cemi are honored side by side with the Loa and the Saints. Puerto Rican Voudou adopted much from Taino spiritual practices. The enlisting of Tobacco as a spiritual emissary, blowing a conch shell to call the spirits and making clay or gourd pots to house and honor the dead. The practice of Indio and Creole spiritism, a more informal method of spiritism is also employed, asking for Cordon, or protection of the Indio and Creole spirits specifically.





These three specific transmissions of New World Voudou allow the religion to serve as many people as possible. Each person has a unique frequency and will better resonate with one of the three transmissions of New World Voudou over the others. All three serve as launchpads for spiritual growth and evolution, and all three are open to all peoples.

I am a priest of Puerto-Rican Voudou, Sanse, 7 Loa, and 21 Commissions under God. My First Godfather with whom I spent 20 years was a Houngan Asogwe, highest level priest of Haitian Voudou. He died in 2009, and due to political turmoil in Haiti and travel bans by the State Dept, I was never able to Kanzo, or initiate into Haitian Voudou, in Haiti. My Godfather walks with me as a power Ghede Loa, a mentor, advisor, and protector.  Through his influence, the spicy flavor of Haitian Voudou blends beautifully with the powerful Puerto Rican line of Voudou I have inherited.

The Loa love humanity, despite our faults and flaws, they see the depth of love we are capable of.  God is the master of us all, a master which gives us the ability to change what we do not like and learn from our sufferings. When a man screams at God, "how could you let this happen," God cries back, "how could you let that happen." We are not powerless, and we are not meant to be victims. God's power and divinity run through us all. We create a heaven or a hell on earth, individually and collectively, with each movement and with each breath.

The Loa says the more we recognize God in each other, the more we can come to know God, both individually and collectively. If God's mission is that we all go to Heaven, it cannot be accomplished until we all see God in each other. Each of us builds Heaven for ourselves, individually and collectively.  Thus we are all in Heaven with God, eventually.

New World Voudou is a rare treasure, like the Christian Jesus, it was born in the most humble and expected of places. Just as the Christian Jesus, New World Voudou has been hated and persecuted by the ruling powers of the day. They fear New World Voudou's proven power to not only sparkle revolution but topple tyrants.  New World Voudou is not a slave religion. New World Voudou is a religion of former slaves, slaves who ripped their freedom back and even served the hand which held it from them.

The Petro Loa were essential in the most successful slave revolt in modern human history. But that was just Haiti, the entire earth and all her people suffer under the rule of elite slave masters. The Loa are ready to begin a campaign of a global slave revolt. No matter what transmission of New World Voudou resonates with you best, I hope I see you on the front lines. There is a battle for total human freedom and spiritual evolution, and just like in Haiti, the Loa mean to be victorious.

*Be sure the check the date of this blog post because you are certain to hear what I just posted from others who steal from my blogs in an attempt to gain even a modicum of credibility...and honestly can you blame them?
