Endiby taught us Chigwaya. Love it. His is a very good intense
teacher with a resonant voice very deep in voice and in thought. He
distributed our bootie (blessed) tobacco processed by the mediums at
d. We are to bath and then mix a little with water and splash it over
our bodies without drying after wards. We are to include our own
prayers in the process. I invited my water spirit to come and be with
me. We are to do this for three days. I want to do it here in
Zimbabwe. He said that it was okay to do it back home.
Chigwaya is a song for the water spirits. Calling the mermaids. I will
type in the words and perhaps record a little. The song is lovely and
is played for at least an hour when a new medium is being introduced
by the old medium. Water is poured over the medium until the medium is swimming in the mud and water on the floor. The water spirit medium is usually an herbalist and is very clean. More on this.
I have the water spirit. This is important to me. Patience thinks it
is okay to work with Malidoma who is also a water spirit.
I stayed at the lodge to practice, clear my things and do my prayer.
I burned a little Sao. Paola wood which helped me ground with some
Zimbabwe coffee
How can life ever be the same. Why am I not dreaming here.
