The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses

THE SIXTH 6th AND SEVENTH 7th BOOK OF MOSES

My second installment in my Grimoire Collection videos, the first being The Book of Oberon by Daniel Harms, and Joseph H Petterson, with sigil drawn by James R Clark.   The second video is of The Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses or The 6th and 7th Book of Moses edited by Joseph Petterson. 

My love and interests in Grimoires began with books by Anna Riva, and her now classic little Grimoire titled Secrets of Magical Seals, A Modern Grimoire of Amulets Charms Symbols and Talismans, which latter led me to Purchase the Puerto Rican author / Writter book of the version of the 6th and 7th Books of Moses which was published by Original Publications in the late 1980s or early 1990s. 

Well respected book in the Southern American Hoodoo traditions and gaining interest within the English speaking Hispanic Latino populations of the Mane lands of the United States, which incorporate these works within their Brujeria traditions.  I hope you enjoy, please press like, leave a comment and subscribe.

THE BOOK OF OBERON GRIMOIRE A BRUJO'S REVIEW

The Book of Oberon: A Sourcebook of Elizabethan Magic

Many people ask me what reason and purpose does a Puerto Rican Sancista, Espiritista, and Papa Boco " Papa Bokor / Lwa" has collecting Grimoires and Books of Shadows.  Ever since I was young I have always had a deep love and respect for Occult knowledge and Arcane magical practices and Mysteries; especially Judeo-Christian Magic.  Many people think Espiritismo is similar to Southern Conjour and Hoodoo which is far from the truth, Hoodoo is more akin to Latin American Brujeria, as many sects of Brujeria have similar roots and traits to Souther American Hoodoo, such as Native American Shamanism and African Congo Bantu Magic, with a mixture of Christian mostly Catholic lore.  Both Brujos and Espiritistas understand that unlike modern neo-paganism and Wicca, Brujeria as well as Espiritismo are not religions but spiritual and magical paths that have their roots in Ancient pre-religious Shamanistic practices which predates all man made religions.   Most Espiritistas and Brujos, may they be from Puerto Rico, Spain, México, Brazilian or Venezuela "Witches" have been influenced by the religions of the land but still hold to their ancient ways, although often unknown to the Brujo.  In Latin American countries, the Curandero Shaman paths and African Yoruba and Congo traditions have been influenced greatly by Roman Catholicism which has been interwoven into the beauty and arts of what is Hispanic Brujeria and Southern American Hoodoo "Gafe / Gaferia".

I have been asked to do Videos on some of my collections of Grimoires and Books of Shadows that I as a Brujo collect and that have influenced my spiritual path, and will be doing book reviews sporadically on some of the books within my collection,  which are heavily influenced on the Kabala, King Solomon, Moses and other Judeo Christian magical paths that can be used in your Hoodoo " Budú Gafe", Brazilian Quimbanda or Macumba and Brujeria practices.  In Brujeria we try to fill in the dots and understand that the man known as Jesus Christ was both a medium and a Brujo, just as was King Solomon,  and Moses.   We try to find the ancient coronation within these highly elevated masters,  and their similarities with ancient Spirits such as Cernunos, and Osiris-Dionysus and other elevated Pagan Spirits.  We don't argue nor care if they are the same Spirits or difrent interpretation, paths or avatars of the same energy, nor if they are seperate entities altogether.

Many believe that our ways are the ways of "el Diablo" the Devil,  we believe in both the Mysteries of positive and negative energies in the Universe, these energies that our limited human minds, can not fully grasp nor comprehend; that cosmic duality we simply call good and evil.   We often say, all is of God, and if it's of the Devil and not of God, which is the cause of all causes,  than this God is not God as this God has no control in an area or mystery in the universe.  Brujos believe in the balance of both good and evil, in both positive and negative energies, which can be often a dangerous less traveled path that can lead one to Spiritual enlightment.  We also believe that if not harnest correctly or respected these two paths can lead to one's destruction or to one's spiritual evolución, you can't have one energy with out the other. 

To make it clear I do not practice and am not a member of the Golden Dawn or practice Hermetic Ceremonial Magick nor am I a Necromancer or practice Necromancy, as most of these Grimoires are based on those traditions, but I incorporate them as most Brujos do into my personal Brujeria.

I do not invoke Lower Level Spirits or lower level demons as I only work with the Spirits of my Cuadro Espiritual, but I do use some of the Conjuros and seals in these Tomes and Grimoires in my personal daily practices.  I remember one time a famous Puerto Rican Brujo from New York once say to me, Hoodoo was the latest craze, which I remember thinking and looking at him like he had three heads.  Hoodoo is Brujeria brother, and it's nothing new to a Puerto Rican or Latin American Brujo.

In the future I'll do a Video Bondye Sambia willing of my own Grimoire.  I will begin with newer Grimoires in my collection and go from their.  If you enjoy these videos, please hit like, subscribe and leave a message down below.

GRACIA MISERICORDIA

 

 

Gracia Misericordia
Un Manual en
Comenzando el Sendero del Vudú, Escrito por Mambo Paula Wédo, Traducido por Sancista Brujo Luis

Por primera vez un libro en Español con los Básico Fundamentos de lo que es los Misterios del Vudú Haitiano.

  

Conozca algunos de los Lúa, algunas de las varias Naciónes y como honorar tus Antepasados.  Algunas de las Oraciones y Canciones utilizada en Haiti.  Algunas traducidas en Español por primera vez.

 

Este humilde folleto es como una gotita de agua en el maravilloso océano, y como esa misma gotita; este folleto es un pequeño segmento en comparación con lo que es los Misterios del Vudú Haitiano.

 

El Vudú es enorme, maravillosa y totalmente diversa.  Los Loases (Misterios) son seres gloriosos, y su capacidad de amarnos y cuidarnos, es igualmente de enorme.  Los Misterios caminan con nosotros; y a través de nuestras relaciones llenas de fe y servicio, ellos nos brinden con su aché, (poder) y protección.

 

Es este profundo deseo humana que nos lleva a conocer a los Misterio; que nos lleva a las encrucijada, y ante la presencia de Papa Legba, y es ahí donde el nos abre las puertas del mundo de los Misterios para nosotros poder pasar.  Una vez adentro, nos encontramos a nosotros mismos humildemente al pie del Gran Espejo Cósmico.

 

Es en este lugar donde todo es posible, y es aquí donde cantamos y bailamos, y tenemos ese momento sagrado para conversar con los Ángeles.

Erzulie Dantor Service

Altar, Badji 'Bayi' at el Punto for Metres Mambo Sili Danto Pye

and the Petro / Petwo Lwa

 

 

 

In Puerto Rican Sanse Tinajas or Calderos are given to those crowned, they act in a similar fashion as would a Urn, not so much where the Lwa reside but the Emisario that works under the Punto of that Misterio, these Emisarios or Muertos are what is known as Los Sanse, which derives from the Haitian Kreyol word for Ancestors.  Zanset.

 

En los Sanci Puertorriqueno, los que son coronados en los Sanse, reciven tinajas o calderos que son similar a los urnas de muertos.  El Loa Misterio no viven en las tinajas, si no mas un Muerto Emisario que labora vajo el Punto del Loa.  Son estos Muertos que en los Sanse se conosen como los Sanci o Sance y la palabra proviene de la palabra Haitiana para Antepasados.  Zanset

 

 

 

Lamp for Erzulie Dantor on her Veve

 

Lampara para Metre Mambo Sili Danto Pye en su Firma

 

 

 

 

 

She enjoys seasoned pork meat, fried spicey black hen, rice with black beans, or rice with Congo peas.  She also enjoys dark spiced rum, wine cigars, and occasionally cigarettes.  Her perfume per excellence is Reve D'or which can be obtained at any Haitian Botanica.  She also enjoys Kananga Water and Agua Florida,  dark black coffee, Mondongo with Tripe, and hot sauce.

 

Como ofrendas Sili Danto le encanta la carne de cerdo, gallina negra, congri, arroz con habichuelas negras, y arroz con gandules.  Ella le encanta tomar ron morado, vino,  le encanta fumar su Tabaco y aveces sus cigarillos.  Su perfume preferido es uno Frances llamado Reve D'or, que se le puede comprar en una Botanica Haitiana.  Pero tambien le gusta perfumarse con Agua Kananga o Agua Florida.  Le encanta el café sin leche y Mondongo con trippa y mucha salsa picante.

 

 

In all trabajos and Servicios to the Misterio Lwa, no matter the Division, Papa Legba or the Leba that is the Jefe of your Misterios must be payed and prayed to first.  The Lebanes are the door keepers, the messengers, those that open the gateways and send our messages to the Loases, Misterios, and the Sanci Muertos of our Cuadro Espiritual.  Without first calling ones Legba nothing can come to pass.

 

En todo trabajo, y servicio a los Misterio Loases, no importa la Divicion, Papa Leba o el Jefe Leban de tu Corte tiene que ser pagado primero y un poco de las ofrendas reindidas a sus pies.  Los Lebanes son los mensajeros de el mundo de los Misterios, y los porteros al mundo de los Loases y los Muertos.  Sin primer invocar y rendirle honor al Jefe Legba de tu Misterios, nada podra ver sus frutos.

 

 

 

PAPA LEGBA ABRE LA PUERTA PA MI, ABRE LA PUERTA PARA MI.  ABRE LA PUERTA PARA YO PODER PASAR, Y CUANDO YO REGRESE LE DOY GRATITUD A TODO LOA.

 

ABRE LA VERJA PAPA LEGBA, ABRE LA VERJA AL LOA! ABRE LA VERJA PAPA LEGBA, PARA YO PODER PASAR.

 

For the Petro Loa and the Ghede a special Haitian bouji candle is used and spicy liquor to get there attention.

 

Para los Misterios de la Divicion Petro / Negra y para los Ghede una vela de sebo es utilizada con liquor picante y comidas con pique para agarar su atencion.

 

 

Metres Mama Mambo Erzulie Dantor is often synchronized with the catholic saint, Mater Salvatoris, the Black Madonna Our Lady of Czestochowa, and Santa Barbara Africana.  In many Puerto Rican Sanse Sociedades she is synchronized with Our Lady of Montserrat.  As Our Lady of Czestochowa, she holds Anaisa Pye, but as Our Lady of Montserrat she holds some say Dan Petro, Tijan Dantor or Gran Torolisa.

 

Metre Sili Danto Pye es sincronizada con Mater Salvatoris, la Virgen Negra de Czetochowa, y Santa Barbara Lukumi Africana.  En muchas sociedades de Sanci Puertorriqueno ella es sincronizada con La Virgen Negra de Montserrat.  Como Virgen de Czestochowa aguanta a Anaisa Pye, la Virgen Negra de Montserrat es vista como aguantando en su falda a los Misterios, Don Pedro, Tio Juan Pedro Danto, o Gran Toro Lissa.

 

 

 

 

The main color for services to Petro Loa is red, there day is Tuesday, each Misterio has his or her favorite color and traditional offering, but red is always added.

 

El color para los servicios a la Divicion Negra siempre es roja, y como Nacion de Misterio su dia es Martes,  Cada Misterio tiene su color, bebida, y comida preferida, pero el rojo siempre es utilizado.

 

 

Erzulie Dantor does not speak when mounted, often Anaisa Pye speaks for her or one of her Eamisario Muertos which relays messages to those who come to attend her services.

 

Sili Danto vaja en cabeza muda, y no habla, ella utilisaa Anaisa Pye Danto o a un Emisario Muerto para mandar mensajes a los que atienden sus fiestas.

 

Maitresse Erzulie Dantor or Mambo Zila's, colors are Red and Navy Blue, she also uses Green and Yellow, and her feast are August 15th.  She is said to wear three silver sings, one for each of her husbands, although she is said to have many concubines, Ogun Badagri, Ogoun Fegallo 'Candelo',  Simbi Makaya and Tijean Petro, others also say she is married to el Baron del Cementerio.  Many say she is the more aggressive aspect of Erzulie Freda, while other sociedades believe her to be her own entity.

 

Metres Sili Danto Pye o Mambo Sila como tambien es conocida tienes colores favoritos, como el Azul oscuro, el rojo, y algunos usan tambien verde y Amarillo.  Su dia festive es Agosto 15, y siempre tiene 3 anillos, uno para cada uno dwe sus maridos, Ogun Badagris, Ogun Fegallo, y Simbi Makaya.  Tambien tiene relaciones arorosas con el Baron del Cementero y Tio Juan Pedro.  Muchos disen que ella es la vuelta mas agresiva de Meteresili, mientras que muchos disen que ella es un Misterio separada completamente.

 

 

Like the Orisha Ochun and Yemaya or Yemonja, Erzulie has her origin in an African River deities, Erzulie's origins come from the Azilie River.  In all branches of Vodou there are many caminos of Erzulies, and in Sanse and 21 Divicion they belong to the Metresa Division.  there offerings are often brought to a river bed, and placed by a tree.  Erzulie Dantor's offerings are always left under a dead tree or a tree with an entrance and near the river where the water runs wild.

 

Como otro Orichas como Ochun 'Cachita Tumbo' , La Sirena Yemaya,, Erzulie tiene su origen en una deida Africana de los rios y agua dulces.  Erzulie tiene su origen en el Rio Azilie.  En cada rama del Vudu, hay muchas vueltas de Erzulie, conosidas como la Divicion Metresa.  Sus servicios y ofrendas se llevan a la orilla de un rio donde el agua corre feroz, y choca contra piedras, y enterado en un arbol.

Revisión del Tarocchi "Taro" Daniloff Tarot

Simple Morning Libación

SIMPLE MORNING LIBACIÓN

Reverence to Bondye and the Spirits every morning is as simple as brushing your teath, washing up and making that first cup of coffee.  Look towards where the Sun rises every morning, make the sign of the Cross and with a cup of water, held in the right hand, pour three drops of water, making a triangle.  And say at the first point.  "Bolou."  Then drop some to the left and say "Boye." Then some to the right and say.  "Bochiche."

As it is done, so may it be excepted, so may it be effective.

LIBACIÓN EFECTIVA DE LA MADRUGADA.

Reverencia a Bondie y los Espiritus, cada mañana es tan simple como cepillarse los dientes, lavarse el cuerpo y hacer esa primera taza de café. Mire hacia donde sale el sol cada mañana, el Este, hagase la señal de la cruz y con una taza de agua, que se toma en la mano derecha, vierta tres gotas de agua, formando un triángulo. Y decir en el primer punto. "Bolou." Luego deje caer unas gota a la izquierda y decir "Boye". A continuación una gota a la derecha y decir. "Bochiche."

Que el sacrificio sea hecho 
Que el sacrificio sea aceptado 
Que el sacrificio sea eficaz

Siempre me he abstenido de hacer esto, y he hecho la investigacion tradicionalmente que es en persona, ("que todavía recomendamos altamente que debe hacerse de esta manera"), pero tengo que entender que muchas personas no pueden viajar lejos, o tienen la manera de alcanzar un maestro espiritual sea en Chaman o Espírita que les dará el Cuadro Espiritual.

MIRRORING THE COSMIC TREE

MIRRORING THE COSMIC TREE

The Axis Mundi is the central pole of the universe,  it is where the energies of the Astral plane manifests itself into the realm of the material.   It connects the realm of the dead, with the realm of the living and into the realm of the Highly Elevated Spirits.  It connects Heaven, Earth and Hell, It connects all as would a spiders web.  The roots of the Tree or the Axis Mundi are life a magic mirror that reflects and mimicks its branches above and represents the many ancestral roads that lead you to whom you are today,  the trunk represents you now in the realm of the material, while the branches that reach out in every direction symbolize the many roads that your soul will take in this life and in the next, it also symbolizes your future descendants.  

Every culture make use of the Axis Mundi, and it is known as the cosmic axis, world axis, world pillar, columna cerului, center of the world, world tree, May pole, Palo Mallo, Palo de Muerto, Palo Mita, Poto Mitan, Totem Pole and so forth.   It is the World Tree, or the Tree of Life that symbolizes one's D.N.A and ones connection to everything and all, because all is of Bondye's, and all is connected in a cosmic dance, that swirls around the Cosmic Tree like a whirlwind which is represented by the Orisha, Oya and symbolize, life, death and rebirth.  Each root, each branch and the trunk symbolize the roads, and is governed by Legba, the leaves that sprout out or down are ruled by Dambala, and the tree in itself is Papa Loquo, "alive" Papa Boquo "dead" or one of his many children, Iroko, or the Great Penis that springs from the earth and resides wirhin the woods Gran Bwa Ile.   Within the roots one finds the Ancestors, the Dead, the Ghede, within each branch one finds the Lwa, the Orisha, the Misterios, while the trunk represents you and your connection to your past and to your future, to your dead and to your Angels   If you are part of a Haitian Voudou Sosyete than you will always honor infront of the Poto Mitan, and if you are a part of Palo Monte or Sanse you will have your Palo de Muerto, and if you are European Pagan, I am sure you have danced the May Pole in May.  The many colored ribbons we place on it represent the cosmic sperm of the Simbi, the waters "cosmic sperm" which trinkle from the heavens and into the womb of the Earth, which bring forth the magic of life, then death,  and into rebirth or reincarnation.   The bells placed at its roots or near the ground is a reminder to those earth bound or intranquilos Spirits, that it is sacred and the natural order and balance of the universe is under the control and watchful eye of Bondye Sambi or one of his many escorts, the Mysteries "Lwa". 

If you are a part of a Vodou Branch you will honor always before the central pole, you will honor your dead and the arrival of the Lwa.  If you are Native American you will dance infront of the Totem Pole, and if you are Athiest I am sure you have gone to the Town Square, or City Hall where a central Plaza sits with a Fountain of Water, a Pilar or a Statue of a great leader is placed, these are modern representations of the belief in the Axis Mundi.  If you live near a tree, honey, water, and palm oil is always poured at its roots, so that it will bring fortification, strength and ground you and strengthen your connection to your Spirits, and if you are Spiritual, you will never willingly poison or cut down a tree, as this will be like cutting the life force, the Ache, which brings abundance to your life. 

You will see people of all cultures tie ribbons, in yellow, blue or gold to symbolize a safe return or to celebrate a feast such as the Fourth of July.  If you are a part of a Palo Branch or Sanse you will soon recieve if you have not yet your Palo Mallo, (palo de muerto) and if you have not you can decorate a tree with multi colored ribbons and in Easter place colored eggs on its branches and white ribbons to bring forth the cosmic dance of the Simbi which will reflect like an image in a mirror, and bring forth abundance, health, and stability; not just for yourself, but for the earth, your ancestors and your Saints.

LA MARASSA, THE DIVINE TWINS

LA MARASSA 

 

 

The Marassa are the divine twins within the various branches of Voudou, such as Haitian Vodou, Dominican 21 Division and Puerto Rican Sance, and although divine twins is the image mostly associated with them, triplets are also well known, may they be masculine or female spirits or a combination of the two.  The Three Virtues also known as Las Tres Marias commonly known as Faith, Hope and Charity are often associated with the Petro Lùa, while Saint Cosme and Saint Damian are La Marassa or Divine Twins often with a third Spirit hidden to make them a triplet and are associated with the Rada Lùa.  This third spirit speaks of the spiritual, healing and psychic connection held with twins, and is termed as Marassa Twa or Marassa Tre.

In Sanse, La Marassa Tre are mainly associated with Taino Zemi Spirits and go by the name  Boinayel and Marohu, ( ying and yang, day and night, negative and positive, aggressive and passive, masculine and feminine.)  The third of La Marassa Tre is more of an African Spirit often called Dajome in honor of the Dahomey Kingdom of modern day Benin Africa.  Dajome is a Ghede Spirit that is said to have never been born into material existence, and if Dahomey was born, he would have not made it past his/her seventh "7" year.  Dajome stands as a link between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead, and is an Ere "spirit of sorts"  which stands as a Centinela for the Marassa.  Dajome embodies the ancient Irunmole Mawu and Lisa who embody the cosmic duality of masculine and feminists.  The Spanish word for Ere is Seres which stands for Spiritual beings.  While the Ere is connected to la Marassa as a Spiritual being the Marassa embody the incarnate energy of the Lùa which provide a spiritual link between heaven and earth, between the material and spiritual planes. 

Offerings to the Marassa consists of candies, sweets, pastries, cookies, cakes, soda pop, balloons and toys.  Their feasts are similar to children parties, with seven or more children invited and when they mount their servitors they can be a bit glutinous as they sit on the floor and partake of their offerings before consulting those that have come to attend the feast.  As they consult they enjoy pulling pranks on those around them. 

They are very connected with the Ghede and the Legba Division, and also pertain to their own nation of spirits which is called Divicion Marassa or Divicion Niños Gemelos.  There colors are pink and baby blue, although some also use red and blue.  They enjoy instruments such as rattles,  whistles, and drums, and their services or altars are always decorated with pacifiers, lolly pops, baby bottles and a gourd jiguera or whicker tray full of popcorn, coconuts, and candies which always comes in sets of two or three.  In nature their offerings are left in the woods by the trunks of two trees or on a bridges, while the offerings in the dita jiguera or palm wicker tray are given in handfulls to all who attend.  

In Africa the divine twins are known as Mawu and Lisa, and were the offsprimgs of the ancient Spirit Nana Baluku, and they fathered 7 sets of twins "14", one being Dambala.  In Taino oral tradition two set of divine twins "4" were born from the joining of the Grey Serpent of the sky and heavens and the mortal ancient mother of the Taino nation, this woman's name was Itiva Tahuvava,  Itiba Cahubaba ), whom after dying while giving birth to the two sets of divine twins became the Zemi spirit of the earth, each of the sets of twins became the Spirits of the four cardinal points and its elements.  

In Sanse the Marassa where raised by a number of Lùa, such as Cachita Tumbo, and Lasirena Yemalla del Norte, but their parents are Papa Marassa Jumeaux "San Nicolas del Sol", and Maman Gembo Jeremux. ( Mama Marassa ) "Our Lady of Fatima.

The Catholic Saints syncrenized with La Marassa are Saint Cosme and Saint Damiam, and their feast day is celebrated on the Saints days which is September 26th and 27th.  The veve sygil used to invoke the Marassa energy is that of 3 circles within three crossroads similar to that of Papa Legba and has its origin on how the Marassa where the only Lùa to be able to trick the ultimate Trickster Legba Kafou Petro at his own games.

LA MARASSA 

 

La Marassa son los Divino Gemelos muy conosidos en las varias ramas del Vodou, sea en el Vodou Haitiano, en la 21 Division y en el Sanse ( Sanci ) Puertorriqueño.  Pero tambien existen los Trillizos, sean Femenino, Masculino o mescla de los dos.  Fe, Esperanza y Caridad son las Tres Marias, que pertenecen a los Lùa Petro mientras que San Cosme y San Damian son la Marassa o los Divino Gemelos que pertenecen a los Lùa Rada, y con el tercero que simboliza los Divino Trillizos, o La Marassa Tre "Tres" , Marassa Twa, o Marassa Twazyèm.

En los Sanse muchos atributan a estos dos Santos con Cemises Tainos llamados Boinayel y Marohu, Dia y Noche, Dia Nublado y Dia Soleado.  El Tercero es mas Misterio Africano llamado Dajome, por el antiguo reino de Dahomey en Africa.  Dajome es mas un espiritu Ghede o Muerto que nunca nacio en materia, o si nacio murio en los primero 7 años de vida, pero que aun guia a la Marassa como un Ere "espiritu en escultura" Centinela, y representa a Mawu y Lisa dos Espiritus gemelos antiguos del reino de Dahomey que representa la dualidad de la masculinidad y la feminidad.  Los Eres son llamados los Seres en Español y la Marassa oh Los Gemelos Divinos son la encarnación de los misteriosos lazos entre el Cielo y la Tierra, mundo espiritual y mundo material. 

La Marassa, sea Divino Gemelo, o Trillizo como ofrenda le gusta todo lo que sea dulces, bombones, globos, biscochos, y juguetes; ellos son glotones, juguetones y les encanta las travesuras.  Fiestas para ellos son como fiestas de niños infantiles, y ellos en cabesa se sientan en el suelo a disfrutar de la fiesta, y hacer sus travesuras. Son muy conectados a los Ghede y a los Legba, aunque pertenecen a su propia Divicion que es la Divicion Marassa o Divicion Niño Gemelos.   Sus colores son rosado y azul claro "bebe", aunque tambien se usa el color rojo y azul como se usa en la Ocha para los Ibeji Melli.  Le encantan los instrumentos especialmente maracas, pitos, tambores y baterias, y sus altares se colocan muy bajo o en el suelo en un mantel, son decorados con paletas de dulces, chupetes "bobos" y teteros de leches "bibi".  (En Puerto Rico se usa las palabras Arawaque bobo y bibi que significa tetillas del ceno de la madre.)  Sus ofrendas son dejadas en puentes y en las raizes de arboles.  

En las fiestas a la Marassa siempre hay una bandeja hecha de higuera o de paja con dos velas, una rosada y otra azul, llena de palomitas de maíz, maní, nueces, almendras, coco y chocolates que es repartida por el caballo montado con un Marassa a todos que atienden la fiesta, mientras baila con la bandeja colocado en la cavesa.

En la Africa antigua Mawu y Lisa eran hijos de Nana Baluku y los padres del Lùa Dambala; mientras que en la cultura Taina dos conjuntos de Divino Gemelos eras hijos del Serpiente Gris "cielo" y Itiva Tahuvava ( Itiba Cahubaba ) "tierra", la antigua madre de la nacion Taina que se convirtió en Cemi madre de la tierra.  En los Sanci como en la Ocha, las que crio la Marassa eran Cachita Tumbo y Lasirena Yemalla.  Pero sus padres son Papa Marassa Jumeaux "San Nicolas del Sol", y Maman Gembo Jeremux. ( Mama Marassa )  Nuestra Señora de Fatima.

Como padre de gemelas, nacidas Junio 5 Géminis y gemelos "mellizas y mellizos" fraternas, hijas que en el momento de esta lectura tienen 22 años y dos varones que partieron de esta senda material ante de cumplir unas horas de vida en materia senti que era mi responsibilidad y muy importante escribir este articulo, ya que todo gemelos son hijos y desendencias de la Marassa.  Tambien mi padre era gemelo y mi abuela materna era gemela.  

Los Santos Catolicos usados para representarlos son San Cosme y San Damian y su dia festivo es Septiembre 26 y 27.  El punto firmado o veve  comúnmente utilizado es de tres circulos que representa a tres tambores o tres firmas unidas parecidos a los de Papa Legba, esto tiene su origen en una leyenda Africana que cuenta que los Divino Gemelos vencieron a Eshu "Legba Kafou Petro" con sus propios trucos.
