Bembe

I went to the All Heads Bembe. I spent a good deal of this one out with different Orixa. I went out for Ogun and spent some time with hammer and broken axe handle and then helped Sally's Ogun with fixing the anvil stand. I went out for Pomba Cigana Rainha but I don't remember much of what she might have done. pearlshadow listed the chant for her they used and I don't remember hearing it at all! I went out for Oxossi and someone asked him to guide people to the House and he spent some time doing a spell to that effect. I went out for Oxun (I think almost everyone did) but somewhere toward the end of her time Sally manifested Laxmi or Shakti and somehow I got Shiva. That was a bit of a twist. I remember warning Exu away from Shakti because she is *my* partner. Shango came along in there somewhere but I didn't go out for him although I think I could. I didn't mean to go out for the Ibeji but someone poked and I did. This was a very young and light hearted child who *really* wanted to play with a ball. I went out for Oxunmare and I remember her/him blessing the Lubisha and wishing prosperity for the house. When the Norse Gods were called I just shut down somehow. My body was in repose and my mind was just gone. I didn't go out for them, it was like I was making myself invisible to them so I wouldn't. I don't know whether that was me or something else. It was very strange. Interestingly I went out a little for Oxala. I mostly just swayed and felt at peace. By then it was really cold and after closing pearlshadow handed out coats. I had a bite to eat and then headed home. I really like spending the day dancing with the Gods.
