A few folks were enjoying the post on Ancestors, so I wanted to share a little back story from my website, and also invite folks that are wanting to vibe up their space, bring potent West African medicine art into their lives, to check out the online store... We drop ship worldwide, all profits go directly to the Burkinabe/Dagara artist and/or donated to the Dagara-supporting non-profit... And if you're really into this, we have a shipment on the way from Burkina Faso right now, with like 25 new canvases that will be added to the collection, and we are offering original canvases for sale for a short time... If you want to see the catalog of what's coming over, say so in the comments, and I'll DM it to you... We have some sacred statues, relics, ancient bronze/iron handmade jewelry, and some modern craftsman made pieces that are super powerful...

When Spirit Asks, Say Yes When I learned of the trek up the 3,031m peak, my first response was no thank you, Iβm here to relax. But my unseen team had other plans. That night, a potent medicine dream revealed my role in this lineage, to tend our story. By morning I could barely breathe, as if an energetic snake had coiled about my neck, daring me to ignore my truth. It was my Wedeme and Ancestors demanding I take them up the volcano for my end of year rituals. So I did - exactly one year after I hung the Three Kings in my shrine room. I didnβt realize this potent Medicine Art would change my life. But it has, and it is good. Three Kings That Started It All (photo attached) The Ritual That Keeps Rippling
