Commission of the Congo. You can't go wrongo with the Congo.

The Temple's Botanica! More coming soon!

In Puerto Rican/Voudou or Sanse, the Indio Commission is the waters by which the Cosmic Loa, Gran Simbi Rey del Aqua, also known as the Taino Skyfather, Yocahu, rains down his divine influence over the tradition. So prevalent within Puerto-Rican Spiritism, the Indio commission has within it a near stand-alone and separate tradition of Indio spirituals. However, as watery as Sanse is, Puerto Rican Voudo is not without its fire. 

Enter the Commission of the Congo spirits. 

The Congo spirits are the dynamic and oppositional force to the Indios. Rather than calm and still, the Congos are aggressive and often restless spirits, eager to work and prove their strength and well-deserved reputation. The Commission of the Congos is a large and diverse one. A giant spiritual court consisting of warriors, hunters, sorcerers-witch doctors, Kings, Queens, slaves, and herbalists. Many Congo spirits come through other courts such as the Slaves, Madamas and Madamos, and the Court of the Shamans. 

The Congo spirits are famous for their formidability, courage, and tenacity. The spiritual equivalent of Pitbulls. If there was a"left" hand path of Sanse or Puerto Rican Voudo (there isn't, but "if" there was), the Congos would be that path. The Court of the Indios are not to be trifled with, but there is something a wee-bit spicier, and the sting a little bit sharper when the Congos perform their labors.  

When you look at a traditional Puerto Rican Voudo altar, you will see Indios on the floor to the right of the table, and on the left side, Congos on the ground. These two mighty commissions act as the stabilizing pillars of Sanse, balancing and activating each other. The water and the fire, creating steam and steam the active agent for all the spirits to interact. The Congos make sure the Indios don't get too complacent, and Indios ensure the Congos don't just run wild.

Another interesting thing to consider is that Sanse is a Loa driven tradition, not Orisha. Most of the New World and African Diasporic slaves were from Western Africa. The mixing of Congo and Dahomey spiritualities gave birth to Voudo and Haitian Voudou being the lineage from which the Petro Loa came to earth. The Petro Loa are served through Congo means and with Congo inspired songs and drumbeats.

The inclusion of the Congo Commission and its placement within Puerto Rican Voudo is no mistake and undoubtedly no coincidence. Sanse does not deal specifically with the Petro Loa like Haitian or Dominican Voudo does and most definitely not as the secret societies of Haiti such as Makaya, Zobop, Loupgarou, or Bizango do. Still, their influence can be brought down by a Chief Loa and their flavor detected in the Congo Commission.  

Without the Congo court, Sanse would belong to the Orisha via the Court of the Africanos, and be more similar to Afro/Brazilian spiritists faiths such as Umbanda or Candomble. 

The Congos are breakers of black magic and curses par-excellence. They lift hexes and resolve causes with ease. Watching them defeat evil is like observing a big scary scorpion be unmercifully swarmed and devoured by thousands of Army ants. Enemies can throw their worst. It matters not. The Congo spirits overwhelm whatever is sent, then follow its trail back to whoever sent it. 

As a priest or Tata of Palo Mayombe, any Mayombe ceremony I preform is a Congo spiritism session in the purest sense. However, even those who are not initiated into Mayombe can still perform very effective Congo spiritualist sessions through Sanse, or Puerto Rican Voudou. After Baptism, one could receive a Cauldero Espiritual or Spiritual Cauldron. The Cauldero Espiritual is a bloodless version of the N'ganga or Prenda used in Palo Mayombe. A strong focal point for the Congo spirits and the counterweight to the Indio Pot. 

Similar to how I conduct weekly Indio Cordons, I do the same with Congo spiritist sessions and for the exact same reasons. I believe the cleansing and tempering with hot and cold energies, water (Indio), and fire (Congo) make me a stronger medium, priest, warrior, man, and ultimately human. This frequent application of alchemical temperance makes it damn near impossible to hurt me spiritually. I'll admit, I enjoy hearing about the continual mishaps and calamities which befall my enemies. In fact, ruination has become so commonplace for a few of my enemies I can now tell which is an Indio or a Congo version of returning their evil upon them.  

All they need to do it stop coming at me.  

The Court of the Congo spirits is served with red and black. They enjoy Tobacco, water, spiced rum, and okra. They really like hit black coffee with a little dark rum and three red chili peppers in it. 

Offer the Prayer to the Congo Spirit and start drumming a congo beat or turn on some Congo drum music. The Congo speak through the earth and fire, the flowing of the blood and the dripping of sweat. Rhythmically sway and use your hands and fingers to play different beats on your body (you are a drum... a profound mystery there). Through movement and heat, the Congo interface.

Prayer to the Congo Spirit

Oh Glorious Congo Spirit, for your virtues, you have entered the Kingdom of Heaven. You have obtained the Holy Blessings of God. You are a leader of the heavenly commission of spirits, and you are surrounded by Angels.

I an admirer of your strength and courage, knowledge, and wisdom, ask in the name of the Father, Mother, Son, and Holy Spirit that you fill my body with your powers and help me in separating the evil thoughts my enemies send towards me.

Free me Oh Congo from the snare of the Devil, and the embrace of his demons. Vanish from me all evil spirits and bind their hands and feet, may they never reach me.

Oh, Glorious Congo, With you at my side, I shall defeat my enemies, and with your strength, I shall overcome all my obstacles. With your sublime powers that have been given to you by God, I ask that you help me with my daily needs.

Guard my home against envy, jealousy, and bad faith, and free me of all negative influences. I light this candle in your honor and ask that you illuminate my path. Amen.

Another prayer, lesser-known, but quite common in my temple, is the Prayer to the Black Christ. The world Christ mysteries have remained largely secret and little by little I will reveal what I can. However, any people who suffered have their own redeemers. These redeemers will hear the prayers of anyone and seek to help and give protection and elevation. The people of the Congo are no different. Speak this prayer too.

Prayer to the Black Christ Congo Spirit

Oh Divine redeemer from the Congo,

Oh Divine redeemer from the Congo,

Oh Divine redeemer from the Congo,

You who have suffered every ignominy,

I beg of you not to allow the same to occur to me, oh friend.

May my mate remain true. May my belief not be threatened,

May you guide my every step,

May all bad things stay away, and all good people come my way.

Grant me luck in all my endeavors.

Peace at work and in the street,

and keep my family on the straight path.

The Sanse practiced at my Temple is advanced, becoming better and more refined. My Temple and I will continue to revere the Commission of Congo spirits, developing and progressing spiritually while offering prayers for the advancement of everyone else. Interested in learning authentic Sanse, Puerto-Rican Voudou, and Congo Spiritism? Consider joining our Temple.

Transitions from Fire into Light and the Sword of Authority to the Iron Rod of Rulership.

You have entered a rare kind of spiritual Temple. A temple where spirits of Ogun Nation act as principal guardians for the collective parish as well as primary motivators behind the spiritual progression inside the temple.

You may ask yourself questions such as:

• What is the direction of this Temple?
• What are the core tenets of this Temple?
• What should you expect from this Temple, and what does this Temple expect from you?

As Priest and Spiritual Father of this Temple, I've had to ask and will continually ask myself those same questions. To find the answers, I regularly consult Ogun Nation, in particular, Ogun Balendjo, the chief of Ogun Nation and my crowning Loa, Ogun Fegai. To which they ask our Temple to prepare ourselves for hardships and war joyously. We are too ready ourselves, and each other with love and support. The Ogun Nation calls our Temple to fight, asking that we help incite modern-day slave revolts all over the world.

It not surprising that Ogun Nation, a spiritual division comprised of warriors, called our Temple to war and tasked us in a work of global proportions. However, the context of this request must be understood. The battle for which Ogun nation requests our aid is not limited to any specific time or place, nor is it purely spiritual warfare. We are required to prepare for victory in conflicts taking place on the physical and mental realms, as well. 

 Ogun nation is the driving force behind the virtues of:

Ambition.

Determination.

Domination.

Enduring. 

Liberation.

Overcoming. 

Power.

Skill.

Strength.

Success.

Triumph.

Victory. 

Winning.

We are asked to re-evaluate our relationship with these virtues and, if need re-establish positive connotations for those words and ideas. The attributes mentioned above have been manipulated to serve evil deeds and evil men. However, through spit, grit and elbow grease, that tarnish can be polished away and their meanings restored to original splendor. Ogun nation reminds us that:

Winning is a good thing. 

Ambition and the ability to ferry-forth are desirable traits that need cultivation.

Strength is a worthwhile skill to develop. 

The more power you have, the more good you can help support. 

Achieving victory over adversaries and overcoming difficult odds is a cause for celebration. 

Ogun Balendjo makes this next point: 

 There are distinct differences between cavaliers and thugs, benevolent leaders, and authoritarian tyrants. We strive to be champions, brave knights, noble warriors, and charitable leaders in our everyday lives. Ogun nation accepts nothing less from us but recognizes and rewards our struggles to be cavaliers. 

We do not win at any cost nor through deceit. 

We do not feel tall standing on the backs of others.

We do not feel strong by tormenting the weak.

We do not profit from exploiting the vulnerable.

We win through superior tactics and strategies. 

We feel tall standing on our accomplishments, looking out to see what more we can do and who we can help.

We feel strong by lifting others and supporting worthwhile causes.

We profit by demonstrating our strengths, helping others become active, and aligning with like minds.  

To win, we must train in the following ways:

The body: Exercise, martial arts, working with your hands, establishing a hard trade, and healthy living. 

The mind: The continual pursuit of learning and obtaining refinement of skills. Meditation, visualization exercises, creative flows, strategy drills, survival planning, and mastery an art or arts. Development and improvement of communication skills. 

The spirit: The discovery of your Great Work. Interacting and interfacing with non-physical intelligence and energetic consciousness. The exploration for God. Establishing a purpose and search for the meaning of life. 

Ogun Fegai placed his hands upon my head and spoke the following passage:

"And he who overcomes, and keeps my works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; they shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels'—as I also have received from my Father." 

Ogun Fegai spoke of God, Papa Bon Dios. God's energy is transferring through God to Ogun Balendjo. Through Ogun Balenjo to the Ogun nation. Through the Ogun nation to Ogun Fegai, and finally, from Ogun Fegai into our Temple. In keeping step with other nations, the Ogun nation started its march towards a new level of elevation and progression. This evolution further enhances the already exceptional capabilities of both the collective and individual Ogun spirits. They are gaining even greater awareness in their ascent towards Papa Bon Dios. God is bestowing this elevation because the Loa kept their promises to God. In return, the Oguns are prepared for the next step of evolution. 

The full evolution of the Ogun nation will not happen in our lifetime. Ogun Balendjo and Ogun Fegai liken this transmutation to fire becoming pure light. Fire sheds light. However, the fire must devour physical matter for fuel. Light requires no material sustenance as God is the source of light. By transitioning from fire to light, the Ogun nation lessens its reliance on physical offerings. They benefit more from spiritual devotion. In return, the Oguns can begin working through our higher refined and more subtle bodies. 

Our tradition of Sanse is already bloodless (animal sacrifice is not required), a great energetic elevation in its own right. But the Loa and the Commissions of Spirits still need varying grades of physical offering for equivalent exchange. 

"The transition of Fire into Light is also the exchange of the Sword of Authority for the Iron Rod."

The Oguns have a fierce and favorable disposition towards weapons of war. It will likely be a thousand or more years (a conservative estimate) before the Ogun nation will show signs of diminished interest in tools of battle. Ogun Balendjo and Oguan Fegai made a proclamation concerning our Temple's tasking and their ascension:

The Ogun nation is compatible with planetary Mars, or Geburah in Qabalistic phraseology. Their ascent is a trajectory closer to God, a merger planetary Jupiter or Qabalistically speaking, Chessed, on their journey back up the Tree of Life. 

For the next 1000 years, the sword of authority, expertly wielded by Ogun nation, will remain firmly in the capable hands of the Ogun Balendjo. Papa Bon Dios is pulling the Oguns' influence from its base in Mars (Geburah) upwards to Jupiter (Chessed) like a magnet. The metal of Mars pours forth, casting the scepter of Jupiter, the Iron Rod. The Iron Rod will be carried by Ogun Balendjo when his Nation is ready, and the sword of authority relinquished back to God. 

Sword of Authority is a weapon of conquest suited to killing. 

Iron Rod is a symbol of rulership that can administer justice without lethal consequences. 

The Iron Rod is a symbol of a Warrior-King who tempers might with mercy. No longer using the sword of authority, but the iron rod. Whosoever holds the Iron Rod does so, like Damocles, with the sword of authority dangling over their head by a string. He or she has power over all nations, realms, and entities. Its wielder bestowed great boons but swiftly judged by its use.  

"May I be as terrifying as Mars, merciful as Jupiter and brilliant as the Sun." Allow this axiom to guide the wielder of the Iron Rod in its appropriate use. 

Ogun nation recognizes we assemble from different backgrounds. We possess varying degrees of skill across a broad spectrum of talents, and all of us have current life circumstances dictating our availability. Our Temple's call to war and to incite modern-day revolts the world over is not without significant consideration on the part of the Loa to us. 

We shall be evaluated by our merits on an individual basis. We contribute to these efforts what and as we are able. Only God and Ogun Balendjo know the exact weight of your heart, and it is by that measure all other metrics are set.

No Agenda? CPS is Government sponsored Kidnapping. How the hell are other occultists not seeing this?!

Some time ago, a couple of highly effeminate males decided they would spread a lie suggesting I had broken my agreements with the Palo house for which I am a priest or Tata of Palo Mayombe. This embarrassing and appalling level of cowardice was born out of their deep-rooted fear and jealousy of me. One of them attempted to tell others there was no such thing as the "Illuminati" or "Anglo-Saxon" conspiracy. That no criminal organization in the Government was stealing children for human trafficking and that I was a liar, and no Global pedophile ring existed.  I had been talking about this and organization occult resistance and activism against this since 2009. I named names and pointed to the Clintons and even Jeffrey Epstein a decade before what is public knowledge now(this is demonstratable). How foolish that that clown looks, and it makes me chuckle every time I think of it.

The following video was sent to me by someone deeply concerned about what is happening with CPS or Child Protective Services. She quoted me from something I wrote years ago that was repeated verbatim in the video, "CPS is Government-sponsored kidnapping." The video makes my fucking blood boil, and I mean FUCKING BOIL!!!!!! She asked me a very pointed question, "how is it your spirits tell you about this, but not other priests and priestess?", and in truth, sadly, I cannot fully answer that. Maybe it is not their work in the world to confront global evil, and that is ok, we all have our great work. However, in this particular case, one of these two douchey fools actually told people the Loa told him there was absolutely NOTHING like what I was talking about going on. Well, and I will speak from what I know of this person and ONLY this person in particular when you don't have a spine, and your sack is as empty as his, there is no connection to the Loa, to begin with. So the only thing he is talking to is idiotic delusions and imaginary friends. He looks like Pedophile and NAMBLA member...so I wonder.

I am developing a longterm work to begin combating the sickness which has infected CPS, and I will let everyone know what I plan to do soon. For now, here is the video.

These fuckers NEED to burn. I am becoming less and less tolerant of idiots. So let it be known. You get in my way, or you attempt to sabotage my work, I will consider you part of the problem. Ask David Rockefeller and George H Bush how being part of the problem ultimately ended for them.

Dog will hunt.
