Back at work and I didn't really want to write this entry about Voodoo but. . . Strange energies are awakening in me that have little to do with my rational side. My eye still hurts so as I got to work I put this veve flag as a screensaver on three monitors in my office. To protect me? From what? To effect a power balance? Towards what? Like I said before, larger forces seem to be entering my life - right the ship as this friend would say.
I wanted I think alleviation, a certain fear - I think the Voodoo Gods have their own plans even though I knew this was the right flag. The serviteurs usually ecstatically run around with these flags in the ceremony. I was going to get this French photography book in all black in white on all manner of possession, being ridden by the gods etc. but I decided to be prudent and stick with the Maya Deren - plain white nondescript cover.
I was also going to E-mail Ulrick, the head of the Haitian relief group I used to volunteer for - this seemed the rational thing to do. Yet, exactly because of this the loas prevented me. When I used to live in Brooklyn, I would see these chalk diagrams on the ground. Schematic representations of the Gods.
At lunch I knew I had to get this book (sounds ludicrous writing this but what can I do?). I had to also get this book that has been on my mind on and off for years but for some reason. . .
I'm fascinated by the author Maya Deren, she's passed on. I know a whole lot about her and the book but haven't read it yet and know about it more from legend. I don't know if I'll be able to read it this time. If it'll let me read it - seriously.
Here's a picture of the books author,
I was bringing the book into my work, who should I see - the director
"You're reading a book!"
"Yes"
"So. . .it's on?"
". . .Haitian Voodoo"
Director (smiling): "I didn't know you were into Voooodoooo!"
"Just beginning". lol
Director (walking away to lunch but really slowly talking, laughing and nodding to me): I have a story to tell you about Vooodoooo. . . summtahm".
It would be the director!!!
