My beliefs in Ifá~An Experience to share.

It started with a dream

It all started in early January 2021 when I had a dream one night. In the dream, I was standing at a train station; I was so excited but very anxious about what was coming around the corner, but I couldn't see what was coming to or for me. The dream's message was to foresee something big and exciting in my life.

A claircognizant thought....

Over the past couple of days, a thought came to mind out of nowhere - 'Witch Doctor'- and it was getting stronger and louder in my mind until I acknowledged it. I stopped whatever I was doing to think about this thought. Why would I think of 'Witch Doctor'? How would I ever be able to find a witch doctor? And aren't witch doctors from cowboy and western-type movies?? I was intrigued. I acknowledged the thought and continued with my day.

On January 6 2021, I had a friend request on FaceBook. I checked out the profile and saw it was from Nigeria, and it was a legit person. I accepted the friend request and received a message from this friend. I kept in mind that there were a lot of scams from Nigeria, so I was very cautious. He introduced himself as Chief Priest and explained what he does and his beliefs.

He believes that any illness or disease you obtain throughout your life after birth can be withdrawn or released;- like a reset button from birth.

Chatting with Chief Priest

"Beloved, the ancestors have asked me to help you. You are unwell and not able to move forward"

WOW! I was gobsmacked. I was speechless. How does he know this? And why me? Once he explained the what, why and how, he asked me for a photo of both my palms to read. He explains that I was cursed, and the rituals he will perform will remove the curse. Ooohh, yes, please...get me back to normal!!! The first ritual performed will allow me to dream of the person who cursed me. The second ritual will remove the curse. Knowing that my illness had no cure, this was the only alternative to having a better life. I agreed and continued chatting with him. A payment was needed for him to purchase the herbs for the ritual, and PayPal was accepted. The herbs were purchased once the payment went through, and the ritual was initiated.

Believe in Magick

As the ritual was sacred, videos were not allowed, while some photos were permitted. Offerings to the Gods were made, sacred songs were sung and danced to, and a feast was shared amongst the tribe. At this very moment, back in Sydney time, I was sitting on the lounge watching TV when I felt; like a headspin on the left side of my head all of a sudden. At that moment, I received a message from the Chief Priest informing me that the ritual was complete. I sensed it. I felt that the spell was a success. It felt different from my Meniere's or vertigo head spin; it felt more like a headspin when a spell was performed; (for those who have experienced magick). I told him what I felt, and it's because I have such a strong belief in Magick, that I felt it.

The Dream

Within the 24hours of the ritual being completed, I had the dream. I could see myself looking forward, and I noticed my cat Tommie (R.I.P.) walking behind me and then he was missing; he had disappeared. I was worried that he was catnapped! I awoke from this dream, and I was very startled and anxious. So, I checked to see what a cat in your dream means from the site http://www.dreammoods.com/

To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. It also represents misfortune and bad luck. The dream symbol has different significance depending on whether you are a cat lover or not. The cat could indicate that someone is being deceitful or treacherous toward you. If the cat is aggressive, then it suggests that you are having problems with the feminine aspect of yourself. If you are afraid of the cat in your dream, then it suggests that you are fearful of the feminine. The dream may be a metaphor for "cattiness" or someone who is "catty" and malicious.

Okay, so now that I know the meaning, I needed to focus back on my dream to get more answers. So I asked myself, who would take Tommie, or where did Tommie go? I recall that Tommie fled and came back to me. And then, I remembered! I recognised the house that Tommie walked away from and the person who took him. I now know the person who put the curse on me. I realised this person had been with my family, and I grew up with her. Since having this dream, I remembered that she had been in my dreams a few times, but I couldn't understand why. I immediately contacted Chief Priest to let him know about the dream. He told me that Tommie coming back to me was a good omen. Thank goodness! Now we had to remove the curse.

Removing the curse

The Sacred Sacrifice

It was time to remove the curse. But this time, it was the sacrifice of a lamb. Even though I am entirely against killing animals, I understood that the lamb's blood was used for the ritual, and the lamb would then be cooked as a feast for the tribe. This ritual took 3 days to complete.

Isn't this how we obtain our food, especially back in the day when there were no markets or shopping centres?

Within the 24 hours of the ritual being performed, I was scheduled to have my eyes tested by the optometrist at my local Westfield. I walked into the Westfield, clutching my husband's arm to avoid falling from my imbalance. I felt the need to let go of his arm, but I took hold of his hand. We took a few steps where I let go of his hand and walked along the side of the shops, so I had the wall nearby- for the just in case. I walked away from the wall and headed into the middle of the shopping centre, where I felt a headspin and a whoosh. But I wasn't afraid, I wasn't falling, and my balance was steady; I was walking alone, and then I was walking alone without holding a wall, arm or hand.

IT WORKED!! The ritual was a complete success. The other thing that amazed me, including the optometrist, was that my right eye had improved significantly.

Life~Energy~Action!

This may be unbelievable for some of you, but for me...it's believable. After 6 years of being housebound, I can now walk the streets without being scared of falling from my imbalance; I no longer need to hold on to something or someone when walking out there surrounded by noisy traffic. I no longer feel exhausted or lethargic by this illness, and Migraines seem like a thing of the past. Meniere's still does haunt me occasionally, when there are fluctuations in noises and movement and when there are sudden changes in the atmospheric pressure, from dark to light and from loud to mute, but nothing like it was. The severity of it is gone. My impaired hearing and tinnitus are still the same, but my symptoms are now manageable. I have also cut down the doses of my medications. I have learnt that I still can't do everything in one day, but I still need to spread my chores or tasks throughout the week. So, working from home is the better option for me to keep away from the hustle of the world. I now have my very own website that I created to help you understand the spiritual world. To guide you in the right direction and help you move forward with minimal obstacles and struggles. I have also gone back to hairdressing, but in-my home hairdressing, where I can work at my pace. I now have the connection and protection of my ancestors with the help of the Chief Priest.

My life can only get better now.
