This in regards to @Angelita Thomas

Aboru Aboye Abosise, I have a question, when I received my Mano De Urula (Irete Ogbe) I was told I cannot kill ants. Can you explain why ants? My next door neighbor had problems with ants in her yard, she and her mom sprinkled something all over the yard, so now ALL the ants have moved into my yard. I have ant mounds all over my yard (ALL OVER THE YARD).. And I am afraid to walk around the yard to get to my garden because I will step on them, (am I over thinking this?) LOL 😂Please make it make sense...

@Felicia Vargas Alexander asked another great question after you were crowned who is the energy that you go pray to!

@Felicia Vargas Alexander When asked when do you ask for the blessings when you go into certain elements in nature? What should you do and what should you say?

When I got Crowned, I was told that every time I’m about to cross over train tracks, I need to do the sign of the cross. Never explained just told to do it. Which is also weird because I thought Catholicism was separate from Lucumí 🤷🏽‍♀️ I have a friend that every time she goes over a bridge, she does the sign of the cross. If she lived in Tampa Florida, it would look like she was doing sign language because there are so many bridges in that area. But when I told her that I had to do the same thing every time I crossed over a train track, she commented that she’s never heard of that before. Now I know, that every time I pass by a graveyard that I have to get blessings to Oya. Or whenever I hear Shango’s name mention for the first time in conversation that I have to stand up briefly to give him praise and honor. Are some of the things that we do are they religious practices or superstition according to your godparent?
