Bubbles in the Goblets

Bubbles in the Fuente and Goblets

Often times when filling the Spiritual Fuente and goblets with clean fresh
water, and placing them on the Tableau altar or Mesa Blanca shrine
"Boveda" one will notice that at first the Fuentes will be sparkling clear and
fresh. Then after a few hours sometimes even shorter, on expecting the altar
or shrine again one will notice air bubbles within the water of the Fuentes.
This can mean a few things and really depends on the purpose for the Fuente.
First of all water used for the Saints is used as a portal in which the saints
come down from the Spiritual realm, while the water used for ones dead and
ancestors is used to give clarity, to quench their thirst, re freshen and clean
themselves.
Air bubbles within the Fuentes represent los Fluidos Espirituales, or the
Spiritual Fluids of the Saints or Dead. It represent that the Spirits are near
and content with the individual. If an offering was given such as fruits,
tobacco, incense and candles, then the spirits are content and happy with the
individual, they have accepted the offering, and have partaken of its energy,
their presence is near and felt, just listen, all is at peace. Many times the
bubbles also represent that you have kept your side of a bargain with the
Spirits and that they wish to show their blessings upon you for the services you
have done for them.
If the water was placed on the altar and is fresh with bubbles many individuals
pour this water into another glass and take a sip or prepare an herbal bath
with it to receive the blessings of the spirits. Many say that when you do not
see bubbles within the fuente, one should worry because it indicates that one

needs to concentrate on a spiritual obligation or a promise made to a Saint or a

Spirit that has yet to be completed.
On the other hand it can also represent that it is picking up unwanted negative
energies, water picks up unwanted energy and negativity, Just as it does the
physical body, it also does the same for spirit and energy. A Sancistas, and
Espiritista always places new talismans, amulets and necklaces into the water
to cleanse it, if one sees a lot of bubbles within the Fuente that is cleansing a
talisman, it indicates that it has picked up unwanted vibrations. The water is
thrown away, the talisman is usually fumigated with tobacco smoke and
replaced into a fuente with clean fresh water.

During a misa espiritual or a sesion where "Causas" are lifted, if the fuentes
have a lot of bubbles, this indicates that much negative energy has been lifted,
and the water is removed away from the house.
When one purchases a new statue, we always purify it and cleanse it with Holy
Water, Florida Water and Tobacco smoke, before placing it on an altar. Also
a Sancista and Espiritista always baptizes the statute in the name of the Saint
or Spirit it represents. Then it is placed on the altar with a brand new Fuente
with fresh water. If the Fuente fills with bubbles it can indicate one of two
things. One that the Spirit is happy, present and is bringing blessings. Or it
can represent that the statute was not properly prepared or cleansed. Usually
the Sancista will listen to his / her gut instincts. If it feels like something is
wrong, they listen to the inner voice and they follow it. Or they often perform
divination to get an answer.
During the act of private prayer, bubbles in the fuente depends on the
emotional state of the person. If the person is in a good mood, the Spirits are
present, but if the person has inner worries or a heavy heart the Spirits are

listening and cleansing.

Where the bubbles are located also has a lot of significance. On the bottom or
base of the Fuente can indicate that ones dead or ancestors want an offering.
Or if the Fuente is on a Tableau Espiritual this indicates that an offering of
Food, or flowers is wanted.
If the bubbles are on the rim of the Fuente this indicates that the Centinela
wants an offering of prayers. If it is on the Tableau Espiritual as in the mesa
blanca, then candles, incense or tobacco smoke is being asked for. A ring of
bubbles in the center of a fuente indicates a sesion espiritual or a velada is
being asked for.
If the Mesa is in the patterns of Reposo, Ataque and defensa this also has to be
considered. When in Reposo all is well, the Saints and Spirits are near and are
showing the blessings. When in Ataque this is a sign that negative energies are
around. Remove the water from the home, cleanse the fuentes and refill them
with fresh water. When in Ataque the Saints or Spirits are on your side, they
are protecting you.

THE SYMBOLS OF THE 9 CUPS

Each tradition has its own symbolic meaning for whom each goblet is in honor
for, example Cuban Espiritismo Cruzado might have a similar out line but
with minor differences. The following is of Puerto Rican Santerismo and
Espiritismo. The representations of the Fuente and the surrounding 8 cups
are as follows:

 El Santisimo Papa Buen Dios Todopoderoso - The Almighty God. This is the
largest of the Cups, the central piece of the altar. If a crucifix is to be placed
within a Fuente it is this one.
Centinela - The Principle Spiritual Guide
Divisin Blanca, Commission of the Saints.
Divisin Negra, La Commission de los Congos, Negros, Esclavos, Madamas,
Cimarones. The Orisha, the Misterios, the Loases.
Divisin India, La Commission de los Indios, The Indian Spirits, the Cemis.
La Commission de los Gitanos, Orientales, Arabes, Hindus, The Gypsies.
Los Espiritus Familiares, los Muertos. Family Members that where known
and have past.

LOS MISTERIOS, THE 7 JEFES OF

SANSE
LOS MISTERIOS
the 7 Jefes of Sance
Although many people who follow an A.T.R. often associate the Catholic saints

as being one and the same with African deities, this sincrenition for the most
part did not happen in most areas of Puerto Rico until the 1960s. I say most
areas because the cult for San Santiago in the pueblo of Loiza Aldea, Puerto
Rico has always closely associated San Santiago with the African Yoruba deity,
Chango. For most part, and as my grandmother would best say. "A Los
Santos, Santos, y a los Angeles, Angeles. (The Saints are Saints, and the Angels
are Angels), or in this case African deities are African deities. My Tia (aunt) a
bruja and a Sancista / Santera also would say 'Llamen al pan, pan y al vino,
vino, y carajo no los confundan!". (Let call bread, what it is, bread, and wine
wine, but damn it, don't confuse them!".
It is also important to note that the Taino culture had been almost completely
eradicated on the island until the 1970s when excavations of ancient Taino
Bateas and ceremonial grounds where discovered through out the island. The
Taino Spirits and the Cemis had finally awaken from their 300 year slumber,
and would never be quieted again.
Not until the wave of Cuban immigrants to Puerto Rico and New York in the
1950s and 1960s, which later proceeded with the wave of Dominicans to the
island and the United States mainland in the late 1970s and the 1980s, did the
Orisha and Lwas return to Puerto Rican soil and Puerto Rico was
reintroduced to the African Spirits.
This is not to say that the Orishas and Lwas never touched Borinquen (Puerto
Rican) soil till this time. Slaves from Puerto Rico were also from Yoruba and
the Kongo regions of Africa, this African culture survived and still can be seen
and felt in Loiza Aldea and Guayama, in the music, dance, spiritual traditions
and dialect of the language. But the African deities where eradicated from the
island, manly because of the smaller groups of African slaves in Puerto Rico in
comparison to other islands of the Caribbean.
The reason for the survival of the Orisha and Lwas in other Caribbean islands
and not in Puerto Rico has to do in part with how small Puerto Rico is in
comparison to Cuba and Hispaniola (The Dominican Republic and Haiti)
Also although the Spanish Inquisition followed the Conquistadors to the New
World, it was heavily felt in Puerto Rico. The first witch hunt and burning in
the Americas was held on Puerto Rican soil and predates the Salem Witch
trials of Salem Massachusetts about 180 years, in a section of Old San Juan
that was once called " el Fangito de las Brujas." Also as I have stated Puerto
Rico did have slaves but the African population was much smaller in
comparison to other Caribbean Islands.
White Spanish origin 75.8%, Black 12.4%, Amerindian 7.8%, Asian 0.2%,
other 3.3%, (2010 census) although most Puerto Ricans consider themselves
white 65% of the islands population is of Meztiso or Mulatto background.

SANTERISMO
Santerismo is a branch of Afro Cuban Santeria "Lukumi" which has a strong
influence with Puerto Rican Brujeria and Mesa Blanca Espirotismo.

Santerismo has a great respect for the Orishas, and are venerated by most
Puerto Ricans as a sub group of spirits called "Una Familia" known as Las
Potencias, or Potencias Africanas. Also while blood sacrifices are done in both
Vodou and Santeria, this is not a common practice in most Puerto Rican Sanse
and Santerismo houses, known as Casas, Templos or Centros Espirituales.
Puerto Rican Santerismo has many things in common with Cuban Santeria,
with the.exception of the hierarchy of Priests and Priestesses, there are no
Babalawos, Babalochas or Iyalochas, there does exist el Padrino y La Madrina
and los Ahijados. Also none of the Lukumi initiations are done, in Santerismo
just as in Sanse, there is the baptismal ceremonies, and the receiving of the
sacred necklaces known as Collares. Also while in Cuban Santeria the initiate
undertake various lengthy initiation ceremonies to receive the sacred Soperas
with the otanes and implements of the Orishas, and become part of the priestly
order. In Santerismo as is with Sanse, the initiate undergoes various rites of
passages that are predominantly Espiritismo, making the individual receiving
the ceremony the ahijado or ahijada of the Padrino or Madrina. The baptized
also receive a prepared image of a Saint known as El or La Centinela, which
usually consists of a hollowed plaster saint, and within it a cloth bag is
prepared with magical herbs and roots, personal belongings of the person,
such as hair, finger nail clippings, strips of clothing and other items. The
statue of the Centinela is then cleansed, purified, blessed and empowered in a
Velada, or Misa Espiritual ceremony known collectively as Ritos de Paso or
Rites of Passage, by invoking the saints to come down and bless the statue, and
cleansing and purifying the statue with smoke, holy water and an herbal
infusion mixed with bay rum or florida water.
While in Santeria "Lukumi" many African deities come down in ceremonies
known as BembesCaballo, in Puerto Rico it is titled a casilla or banco. In
Santerismo and Sanse, the Saints are invoked in Fiestas Espirituales and like
Santeria they do dance and show of their abilities, but mostly they interact
with the congregation, consulting, prophesying, and lifting a Causa. Also in
an Afro Cuban bembe only the Orisha come down and in Haiti the Lwa come
down, while in Sanse and Santerismo, the Saints, African deities and any spirit
from the Familia and the 21 Courts and Commissions come down together.
Many compare Puerto Rican Sanse and Santerismo de la Mesa Blanca to Afro

Cuban, Dominican and Haitian religions, in my personal experiences, there

are many similarities, but if Sanse and Santerismo where to be compared to
any similar spiritual paths, they would defiantly fall closer under the
categories of Brazilian Umbanda, Venezuelan 3 Potencia Espiritismo and
Afro American Hoodoo, which is a sincrenition of African and indigenous
spirituality. Many Puerto Ricans use the term Santos or Santos Africanos to
describe the Orisha, unless the person was initiated into Lukumi, and call
them los Orichas, some of the Orisha of the Cuban Lukumi pantheon are.

The Dominican 21 Division

La 21 Divisin or the 21 Dominican Divisions are the group of Loases Spirits

originally venerated in the Dominican Republic and has become popular
amongst Puerto Ricans. Puerto Rican Sanse is a branch of Dominican 21
Division Vud which in tern is a branch of Haitian Voudun. The Loases
Spirits of the 21 Division is a group of Spirits also called Los Misterios
amongst Puerto Ricans. The Loases of the 21 Divisions like the Seven African
Power Orichas and the 7 Jefes del Sanse Puertoriqueo protect their followers
and gift them with the abilities to lift Causas, divination, and healing to name a
few, and like the Seven African Powers and the 7 Jefes of Sanse, the Loases of

the 21 Divisions have attributes associated to them such as colors, offerings,

and likes and dislikes.
The name the 21 Divisions has nothing to do with the number of Loases, as
there are virtually countless of Loases, the name implies the 21 various groups
of hierarchies that a Loa may belong to and they are as follows.
The Leguas
The Ogunes
The Guedes
The Rodas
The Lokos
The Lokomis
The Petos
The Simbis
The Petifones
The Marasa
The Zombis
The Indios
The Nagos
The Congos
The Guineas
The Niillos
The Caes
The Dangueles
The Shuques
The Piues
The Difemayos
Although there are 21 Divisions they are also organized into three ethnic
groups that make up the foundation of the human race Caucasoids, Negroids,
and Mongoloids and are as follows
Divisin Blanca, Divisin India Divisin Negra
The Divisin Blanca: or the White Division assists the followers who work the
altar and within this Division Santa Ana (Anasa), Patrn Santiago (Ogn
Baleny), Virgen Dolorosa (Metresil), San Antonio (Pap Legb), San Carlos
Borromeo (Candelo), Santa Elena (La Gunguna), Santa Clara (La Seorita),
Virgen de la Candelaria (Candelina). The statues within this Division are
always usually Catholic Saints.

The Divisin India are the Loases and Commission that work with the element
of Water, and when they manifest they purify with water and liquids. They
are represented by Native American Indian statutes.
The Indian Divisin's altars are usually located close to the ground and are
always kept separate from other groups of spirits and Saints. This Division is
always kept far from the Division Negra, for the reason being that the Division
Negra enjoys blood offerings while the Division India will have nothing to do
with it. The Indian Division enjoys offerings of tobacco, corn meal, black
unsweetened coffee, fruits, nuts berries and casava bread.

When a spirit of this Division takes possession of a follower they always ask for

water to quench their thirst, then tobacco smoke and occasionally Rum.
They enjoy colors of all kinds although usually 7 various colors although most
of the Loases within this Division has its own attributed color.
The Divisin Negra: This Divisin is also placed close to the earth, and are
placed away from the Indian Divisin because those initiated into Dominican
Vudu called Caballos de Misterio give them blood sacrifices. Those who are
not initiated into their mysteries offer them black beans, okra, pumpkin, and
potatoes, as well as tobacco and liquor. The Loases within this Division are:
San Elas "Barn del Cementerio", San Expedito "Gued Limb", Santa
Marta La Dominadora, Ezili Knwa".

Sanse / Sance
In present day many Puerto Ricans are initiated into the beautiful religions of
Cuban Lukumi and Dominican 21 Division. Puerto Ricans who are initiated
into Dominican and Haitian Vodou incorporated these traditions with Puerto
Rican Brujeria and Espiritismo de la Mesa Blanca creating the Sanse,
tradition. Sanse also spelled Sance is a branch and offspring of Dominican
Vodou, and we recognizes the Dominican and Haitian Lwa, and break them
down to a group of 7 Divisions of Misterios, although there are 21 Familias
similar to Dominican 21 Division, the Seven Mysteries known as Jefe, Jefa or
Sance, carry the names of the Loases, and when possessing a person act in
similar fashion to the Haitian and Dominican Spirits. But while the lwases in
the Dominican Republic often speak a mixture of Spanish and Creole French,
the 7 Jefes of Puerto Rican Sanse use rural Puerto Rican Spanish, African, and
Indigenous dialects and words with Afro Puerto Rican undertones and
accents.
Recently many Puerto Ricans are returning to their traditional Espiritismo
and Brujeria traditions bringing with them the Orisha and Lwa, and
incorporating them with the Taino Cemi Spirits which are included in the 21
Familias.

The Puerto Rican Sanse Familias are

The Solieres
The Belcanes
The Levanes
The Candelos
The Guedes
The Metresas
The Prietos
The Simbises
The Centinelas
The Guineas
The Madamas
The Indios
The Nios
The Leguas

The Orientales
The Potencias
The Magos
The Aguases
The Jemelos
The Cemises
The Arabeses
Of these 21 Familias of Spirits the puntos Misterios most popular in Puerto
Rico are known as Los 7 Siete Jefes "Seven Chiefs", Ecce Homo and Pai
Elegba are not considered in the Siete Jefes, Ecce Homo is above the Jefes, and
Pai Elegb is the Messenger, that leads the way.

ECCE HOMO

Ecce Homo pronounced "Eh seh oh moh" is the brightest of Stars in our
universe he is seen as the Sun that gives life and sustains it here on our earth
and is also called el Gran Sol. He blesses humanity with goodness, kindness,
charity illumination, elevation, spiritual abilities, spiritual communication,
faith wisdom, compassion, understanding, love, happiness, truth and

knowledge. He is the King and ruler of la Siete Familias of Misterios and is

surrounded by the Siete Puntos Spirits of these Siete Familias. The Sun is his
Thrown and a spark of his essence exists in all humanity, good or bad, evil or
kind. He is the origin of Hope and is envisioned as the master Jesus Christ.
He never takes physical possession of a human as his spirit is to pure and
elevated.

Pai Legba / Eleguita

The Misterio that opens and closes the pathways and leads the 7
Jefes Misterios del Sance is el Papa Elegba and in Puerto Rico is associated
with Saint the Child of Atocha. His feast day is June 13th and his color is
brown. He enjoys tobacco, rum and sweets of all kinds and is usually the first
and last to appear in a Sesion, unless La Metresili comes down which he
respectfully waits in the side lines, since he enjoys to smoke a lot of tobacco
and drink a lot liquor, something La Metresili loathes above all things. When
he comes down it is a custom for all to shout in unison. "Gracias a La
Misericordia!"

He is always seen using his cane as he is an ancient Misyerio and is considered

as old as time itself and has a child like, mischievous quality and often plays
pranks and tricks on those who are near his presence. Papa Legba is usually
happy but when he is contemplating on an individuals Causa he becomes quit
and observant and is quick to scold and tell an individual their faults.

ANAISA

One of the most wildly popular and most venerated Metresas Spirit is Anaisa
known also as Anaisa Pye. While in the Dominican Republic she is
synchronized with the young Virgin Mary who is accompanied by her mother
Saint Anne, in Puerto Rico she is associated with Saint Jean di Arc and her
feast day is celebrated on July 26th.
She is the faithful companion of Beli Belcan and on altars you will often find
the statue of Saint Jeane Di Arc next to Saint Michael.
Anaisa is a very feminine flirtatious spirit and is known as the Queen of Love.
When she mounts her followers and takes over their body in possession she
comes laughing and dancing.
Her favorite color is yellow and gold and she is always seen dancing with her
yellow, golden laced cloth paos and mirrors. She is also fond of lipstick,
facial powders, golden jewellery and bangles on her wrists and ankles. She is
fond of sweet smelling perfumes, oils, baby powder and loves to drink a can of
beer with her followers, if in possession she asks for a cigarette to smoke, this
is an indication that she is ready to consult with her followers.

SANTA MARTA LA DOMINADORA

Saint Martha the Dominator is one of the most powerful of Metresas.

Although in the Puerto Rican Sanse Religion she is simply known as Santa
Marta la Dominadora in the Dominican Republic Vud Religion she is known
as Morena Filomena Lubana.
She is the queen of the Division Negra ans rules it wisely with her companion
el Baron del Cementerio. Santa Marta la Dominadora is a wise, serious and
fierce Misterio and is always seen carrying a serpant a symbol of her
dominating anything in Heaven and Earth. She is a warrior spirit and if
offended her wrath can only be pacified by Papa Buen Dios.
Her feast day is observed on July 29th and offerings of cigars and black
unsweetened coffee is brought to her. The colors associated with her are
green, purple and red.

LA MADRE DOLEROSA METRESILI

One of the purest and quietest of Metresas is La Madre Dolerosa Metresili,

who is associated with Our Lady of Sorrows. Her feast day is celebrated on
September 15th and her associated colors are all shades of pink and white and
sky blue. As an offering she is fond of pink champagne, sweet red wine, and
fruit punch.
She is a quiet spirit who will not take possession if liquor or tobacco is in her
presence and she does not like conflict. When she does take possession she
does so crying, cleansing all with her tears. She will not touch the ground
which is full of human sins and filth, so a brand new clean white cloth is put on
the ground before she takes possession. Often a Fuente Espiritual is prepared
with Holy Water, Florida Water, Kolonia 1800 and petals of roses which she
uses to bless all who are present.
La Metresili usually does not stay long in a spiritual gathering her maximum
time being that of 15 minutes of less. She is also known as the sister to Anaisa
Py.

BELIE BELCAN

One of the most ancient and eldest Misterio is Belie Belcan who is associated
with the Archangel Saint Michael. Belie Belcan's feast day is celebrated on
September 29th and his associated colors are Green and Red, if you ever enter
a Botanica and see a statue of Saint Michael clothed in a Red and Green cape
this is an indication that it is Belie Belcan. He is the Punto ruler of the Division
Blanca, and is often the largest statue represented. He is a warrior spirit who
fights for the protection and justice of humanity and is always at war with
demons. When he takes possesion in a Sesion Espiritual he often walks with a
limp right leg which he wounded in battle with the devil. Others say he walks
with a limp because he keeps Satan within hell with this very leg. He always
greets the crowd shouting in Spanish. "Buenos Noches mi Sociedad!, or
Buenas Tardes Criollos!" Or in French "Bonswa a la Societie!". Which he
yells in a hoarse, but loud thunderous voice. Those who become possessed by
him tie a green pao over their right shoulder and a red pao over the left.
Then he asks for his rum and tobacco which he uses to cleanse, purify and
consult.

PAPA CANDELO

In Puerto Rican Sanse he is simply known as Papa Candelo, while in

Dominican Vudu he is known as General Candelo Cedife. He is an elder
gentleman spirit who enjoys and loves the companion of his followers. His
associated color is red, and all who invoke him know to do so in cement
pavement as he takes a bottle of Florida Water and pours a circle and lights it,
carefully cleansing all with the flames. He is very just, benevolent wise and
knowledgeable in all things pertaining to spiritual elevation. He blesses with
spiritual protection, abundance and good luck. His feast day is celebrated on
November the 3rd. In the Dominican Republic he is associated with Saint
Charles Borromeo while in Puerto Rico it is Saint Martin de Porres. He uses
palm fronds which is his escoba, which are a symbol of triumph and victory.
He also uses Coconuts to pass over his followers and coconut milk to cleanse,
heal and purify.

OGUN BELANDO

Ogun Balendo is associated with San Santiago Apostal, and his devotees and
followers are greatly concentrated in the Puerto Rican town of Loiza Aldea,
where he is venerated similar to the Orisha Shango. His colors are red and
blue and his feast day is celebrated on July 25th.
Ogun Balendo is a fierce warrior, and is very stern, although he is a warrior he
does not like chaos or disorder and will not tolerate filth of any kind. He is
also a great healer, and does not take Rum as an offering from humans, he
prefers wine and tobacco and if rum is present he will take it, without the
permission of any human. Although he is a fierce warrior many times he
comes down greeting all present with a warm hand shake, a pat on the back
and makes you feel as he is your closest long lost friend or family member.
When he comes to consult he asks for his sword so he may cut the chains that
bind humanity.

San Elias el Baron Del Cementerio

The Spirit who rules over the dead is el Baron del Cementerio who is
associated with Saint Elias del Monte . His feast day is July 20th and his colors
are black and white. In Puerto Rico he is one Spirit although in Haiti and the
Dominican Republic he is many. Other Barons in this division are Baron de la
Cruz, el Baron del Monte, Baron del Sabado. In Puerto Rico not to many
people become possessed directly with him but become possessed by San Elias
who will often use the name San Elias and el Baron interchangeably. He is
very respected in Puerto Rico but rarely does he take possession of a host. He
is invoked to rid of earth bound spirits and cleanse a persons aura or negative
elemental spirits.

Difference between Commissions and Jefes.

The various Commission of Spirits are the souls of people who in life where

wise and benevolent. They worked to serve the people and in death they still
work for the greater good of humanity. Many of the Spirits in the
Commissions where priests, priestess and wise men and women, and also
venerated either a Lwa, Orisha, Angel, Saint or Cemi. They are the heroes the
leaders whose works of good deed in life and after life insure their elevation up
the Spiritual Latter to one day becoming an Ascended Master. Many are
viewed and respected as folk saints or saints of the people. They are our Seres
our Muertos and are the messengers of our Cemi, Loases, Orishas, and
Angels.
A singular spirit of a Commission is known as a Muerto or a Buen Ser. As a
group they can be called, Muertos, Seres, Cortes or the popular Commissions.
Since they are closer to our plane of egsistance less energy is needed or
required for them to come down into an Embajada. They are usually the
mouth piece for Higher Spirits and work under their supervision and with
their Corriente. Many Buen Sers come in place of an Orisha, Cemi or Loa,
and usually have many of the attributes of these spiritual forces. Minor things
may differ. For example, a Buen Ser may come displaying many attributes of a
higher force but they also have their own likes and dislikes. So in life, Otelio
may have been a follower of Obatala, and may come down instead of Obatala,
acting in a similar fashion as Obatala. But Obatala does not drink liquor, and
Otelio might. The mysteries of our spiritual path may seam confusing to those
who do not follow it, but makes perfect sense to its followers.
The Jefes are the Orisha, Cemi, Loases, Spirits of Nature, highly elevated
saints, Ascended Masters, and Angelic Forces. They are closer to God, and
like the Seres come down to Embajadas to consult, heal and lift causas.

The Spirits in a Fiesta Espiritual

The Spirits in a Fiesta Espiritual

Francisco Manuel Oller Cestero - El Velorio 1893

The Madama

As I have stated before las Madamas are old and wise spirits, born and raised
and lived within a time when slavery was a part of the Americas, a time when
African slaves where baptized and forced to leave their ancient African
religions, traditions, loved ones and spiritual beliefs behind or suffer the severe
consequences.
The Madamas recognized the wisdom, beauty and magical attributes
associated with the Catholic Saints and where one of the forerunners who saw
the similarities of their African deities with those of the Catholic Saints and
began synchronizing the spirits of their ancestors with the Saints.
Imagine for a moment being the Mammy or a house servant of the masters
children, and his wife's most trusted confidant. Imagine keeping the children
quiet as the bible was read, evening prayers were recited and the miracles of
the Saints where told as the mistress of the house lit candles to the various
Saints and the Holy Virgin. For a moment also imagine going back to the slave
quarters with the wisdom and knowledge you had acquired, and how similar
these Saints where to the Orisha and Lwa of the African Ancestors. The
Masters surely did not know that forcing and introducing these Saints to the
slaves insured the survival of the African Spirits.
When the Madamas come down in Fiestas Espirituales they come down as
stern wise women. Often scolding and reprimanding those who do or are in
the wrong, they are over opinionated, witty and quick with their tongue. They
represent a strong matriarch figure who is stern and strong willed. When they
are happy they love to laugh which is a deep hoarse laughter, and quickly ask
those attending the Fiesta for her offering of cigars, black coffee sweetened
with brown sugar or molasses. The Madamas can be either Brujas, Yerberas,
Curanderas, or Priestesses. When they want to cleanse and purify the crowd
they ask for a bottle of Florida water and their pao cloth, which can be a solid
color or a madras plaid pattern and the colors all depend in what Spirit the
Madama venerated or was a priestess of in life. The Madama come down to
lift Causas, they cleanse and purify, and recommend spiritual baths for good
luck, and if a deck of Spanish cards are present they will give a quick
consultation. They love to dance and speak with a strong facial expression
and hand movements, and always have their hands on their waists, or crossed
over their chest. They always cover their heads with a head dress and wear
around their necks beaded and wooden Rosary beads.

The Gypsies

When Maria Candelaria or any of the Gypsies come down in a Fiesta

Espiritual they are the life of the festivities, always lively they come dancing
and twirling as if dancing to Flamenco music. The females Gypsies come
asking for a Spanosh fan or castanets as they dance and twirl in circles. They
love layered dresses with lace and a head dress. Their favorite colors are red,
black and pink, or patterns that have white dots and the pao cloths they use
are always in those colors or patterns. As they consult they are offered beer,
pink wine or champagne that is always served in a glass chalice and a lit non
menthol cigarette. They enjoy bottles filled with Rose or Lavender water
mixed with perfumes, which they use to cleanse all who are present. They are
often flirtatious and coquettish and love to laugh and enjoy the Fiesta. They
also love to consult especially if a Spanish deck of cards or Tarot deck is
present and they mostly prophesies on matters that have to do with luck, love
and financial matters.

The Indios

The Indios are very spiritual and polytheists spirits that come bearing the
wisdom, beliefs and knowledge from their various clans and tribes. When an
Indio mounts a person in a Fiesta Espiritual they are offered a sweet pungent
bark root juice popular in the Caribbean known as maubi or mavi and
tobacco smoke. They often come to lift curses, remove a hex, and in matters of
justice. They cleanse with shrubs of healing plants which they soak in water.
They also use gourd maraca or by hitting two sticks around the aura of an
individual as they blow smoke on the person or spraying mists of intoxicant
liquor on the person from their mouths.
The person who becomes possessed by these spirits are dressed in dark greens,
reds, yellow and brown, and some Indios use the paos of the same colors
when lifting a causa. The Indios although they do come down to indoor fiesta
espirituales, most would rather come down outdoors and in open air, usually
they prefer steams, lakes or wooded areas. Most of the Indios that come down
where either Shamans or Warriors and come to heal and remove black magic
and combat demons and earthbound spirits.

The Congos and

Los Negros Cimarrones

Of all the Spirits that may come down during a fiesta espiritual these are the
strongest, most respected and often most feared and misunderstood. In life
they where great Paleros, Brujos, Houngans, runaway slaves and liberators.
They are very stern, serious and usually have little sense of humor and even
less patience. They are this way because they come to lift curses, black magic
and heal illnesses caused by the dark arts. When the Negro Cimarrn or el
Congo come down to a fiesta they come to cleanse, lift negative magic and
remove spiritual blockages. They do so with tobacco, rum, and
aguardienteIndios are placed away from other Spirits.

The Tableau Espiritual

THE ALTAR

LA TABLEAU ESPIRITUAL

A Tableau Espiritual or Mesa Espiritual is the altar dedicated to ones

Misterios and Santos. The word Tableau is French and is defined as meaning,

A group of models or motionless figures representing a scene from a story or

from history; a tableau is a scene, for example from the Bible, or mythology,
that consists of a group of people in costumes who do not speak or move. The
people are sometimes on a float in a procession. A tableau is a piece of art
such as a sculpture or painting that shows a Biblical or mythological scene. A
Tableau is a representation of a scene by silent, posed, costumed people, A
representation of some scene by means of persons grouped in the proper
manner, placed in appropriate postures, and remaining silent and motionless.
Within Espiritismo and the Sanse Religion this is the second most important
altar second only to ones Mesa Blanca / Boveda. What is common knowledge
for all who practice Sanse, Brujeria and Espiritismo is that the Mesa Blanca /
Boveda shrine, and the Tableau Espiritual altar should be kept separated. The
Mesa Blanca is for ones bloodline relatives and ancestors while the Tableau
Espiritual is for ones Saints, Misterios and Commissions. The Mesa Blanca
can have a statue of an ancestor's or a relatives who has passed, Madama,
Gitana or Congo, or a Saint that personally belonged to them but generally the
Saints should be kept on the Tableau. One can tell the difference of a Mesa
Blanca to a Tableau Espiritual just by looking at them. The Mesa Blanca is
often completely white with an array of glass goblets filled with water, white
candles and white flowers surrounded by photos of relatives and loved ones
who have passed, while the Tableau Espiritual is a collage and assemblage of
diverse colored candles and saints placed on a solid colored altar cloth.
There are no set rules on how to arrange the Tableau and each person
decorates it to their likeing and financial means. What is important to know is
that the Tableau Espiritual is a sacred object and should be approached with
respect, reverence and a clean conscious. Never approach it with frustration
or anger. Women should never approach it during their menstruation period,
this is also true for ones Boveda or Mesa Blanca altar.
The Tableau Espiritual houses your Cuadro Espiritual, Santos and Misterios,
and like a house, one must understand that a house is only as strong as its
foundation.
Traditionally a Tableau Espiritual consists of a rectangular table either
inherited by another family member or a brand new table. It should never
consist of an old used table that was purchased in a Flea Market or a second
hand store. Any old table within the home or a family dresser or desk that is
an heirloom will do, as this table will have your families energy embedded
within it. To purchase a used table from a second hand store, one never knows
its history or the prior owners energies that may linger within the table, this is
why it is important to either use an inherited family table or a brand new one.
The table in itself can be as small or as large as you wish, and can be decorated

as you wish, there are no set rules. What is important is that it is a sacred
meeting place for you and your Spiritual Frame and Saints.

The table cloth for the Mesa Blanca that is always white, the table cloth to
your Tableau Espiritual should be in the color or colors that represents either
your Patron Saint or the Head Spiritual Guide of your Cuadro Espiritual,
"Centinela.".
Also the Central and largest figure within the altar should always be that of
your Patron Saint or principle guide.

The Tableau should be an altar of beauty, and can be as elaborate or as simple

as one wishes. It should always be kept neat and clean.
A tableau can take a week to complete, a month and sometimes even a life
time. I know of an Espiritista who completely created and constructed her
Tableau beautifully within a month. I have had my Tableau over 20 years and
often come across an item or a statue that I want to place on the altar or
around it, thus my tableau is ever growing, as I grow, progress and learn in
life, so to does my Tableau. As I change and grow in life and my views may
change, this is greatly reflected on my Tableau. Some individual's space is
limited and their Tableau are small, with small statues or photos of saints and
a single candle and one small clear glass which is their fuente, while others
who have more room dedicate entire rooms within their homes for their
Tableau. These altars are magnificent to look at, but often they have the same
sense of wonder and power to the ones owned by people who live in a studio
and have a small altar.
Some altars are adorned with large statues, and tiers or shelves representing
the Spiritual hierarchy, others like myself have just a one flat surface. And
smaller shelves or tables around it. Some Tableaus are filled with Plaster and
ceramic statues, others have framed pictures of Saints they purchased or
printed from a scanner. Some Tableaus are adorned beautifully with
Christmas lights, while others are illuminated with tea lite candles or an array
of various colored 7 day candles. Some altars are covered with one altar cloth
while others pin various colored paos "cloths" usually 9 to represent the

various Commissions. What is important is that the Tableau is viewed by its

owner as a sacred portal and meeting place for ones Saints and Misterios.
Although each individual's tableau are difrent there are some important ritual
items that each tableau should have, they are as follows.
An Altar Bell
Incense Holder
Incense Burner
Clear Glass Cups or goblets for the Fuente Espirituales
Altar Cloth in the Color associated to the Patron Saint
A Maraca
Vases for Flowers
Matchbox filled with wooden matches
A clear glass offering ashtray
A clear glass bottle or vase for coin or money offerings.
Silver or Glass Candle Holders
Offering Cup
Offering Bowl or Plate
Many Puerto Rican Tableau Espirituales also house bottles of Florida Water,
Holy Water, and ritual perfumes and scented oils.
The area or room where you are to place your Tableau Espiritual should be
cleaned beforehand both physically and spiritually. First clean the area with
household products, then clean the area spiritually. You can sprinkle Holy
water or Florida Water that has been mixed with grounded camphor or basil
around the area, then place a bowl with a raw white egg surrounded by ice, to
help pick up any unwanted vibrations. Take a cigar or a lit charcoal with
copal, frankincense and myrrh, and fumigate the area. Let the ice completely
melt, and throw the water and egg away from the home. Now place the table,
and sprinkle it with holy water or florida water that has been mixed with basil
leaves. Then light a cigar and starting from the bottom up, fumigate the whole
table. Then place the altar cloth and all items, which should be ritually
purified and baptized before placing on the Tableau.

I humbly come in prayer and reverence Omnipotent God of Heaven, in the
names of my deceased, brothers and sisters of our Spiritual Faith. You Great

Spirits that filled this earth with greatness, and administered the mysteries and
knowledge of Spiritism. In your infinite goodness you have reached eternal

by your Sentinel, Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides; and now are converted
into their spiritual brethren and colleagues, we pray especially for our beloved
(name of deceased) and ask that you help them in elevating and finding peace
that is our Lord's Greatest of Gifts, may it always be upon them. Amen.

Travajando el Altar
Working the Altar

In the section of la Mesa Blanca there is a section titled Travajando los

Fuentes, the following three formations can also be used to work on the
Boveda or Mesa Blanca, or can be used for when an Espiritista or Brujo is,
"levantando una Causa" lifting a curse or black magic. What is important to
understand is that the Tableau Espiritual or the Mesa Blanca is never used for
working magic of any kind. These altars are sacred and to do so would be
what Puerto Ricans terms as, Ensuciando el Altar. These formations are used
to petition the Spirits to help you in life and are always accompanied by
prayers, songs and meditation. Although I did not place incense on the outline,
one can use incense or tobacco smoke as an offering when the constructions

are done. Also it is important that after the construction is done and prior to
the payers or offerings one rings the altar bell to get the attention of the Spirits
and ask them to come to work.
O = Goblets

F = 3, 5 or 7 white and yellow Flowers. White Candles. The large central

This is the most popular formation within Puerto Rican Mesa Blanca
Espiritismo and Cuban Espiritismo Cruzado, and is used when all is at peace
within your life. The larger Fuente with the cross within it is surrounded by
the smaller cups or goblets. The larger Fuente represents your union and
connection to God, and your Centinela while the other goblets surrounding it
represent the various Courts of Spirits that protect you and ones Ancestors
and Dead. It gives you dead, those in purgatory water to quench their thirst
and the clarity needed for Hope. These Spirits and Ancestors are working
hard to protect you and keep you safe and keep negative vibrations away from
you. The fuentes and goblets are cleaned with a mild dish detergent and Holy

water every friday and are refilled with cool fresh water, and a drop of Holy
Water or Florida Water is always added, the flowers are also replaced and are
used to make a spiritual bath. Never leave flowers to wither and die upon the
altar.

This formation indicates that the Spirits are protecting you from harm and
defending you from those who wish you harm. If the name of the person
causing harm is known, the name of the person is written seven times
horizontally and your name is written on top seven times vertically. This
paper is usually placed under the larger central Fuente until the candle burns
out 7 to 9 days. Then the piece of paper is usually burnt and the ashes are
thrown away from the home.

F = 3, 7, or 9 Red and White Flowers. Red and black laced ribbons are tied
around the rim of the large central fuente.
When the Fuente and goblets are placed in this position this signifies that one
is asking the Spirits to help protect an individual from Spiritual warfare, a
curse, black magic or psychic attacks. This position helps to defend and
resolve the issue. This formation is usually constructed at 12 noon or 12
midnight with prayers and invocation to the Spirits or Saints for protection
and in helping you come up with a resolution to the problem.

The Mesa al Ataque formation should never stay on an altar more than 9
consecutive days, usually after the ninth. The fuente and goblets are cleaned
with salt dissolved in holy water, and the water within the Fuente and Goblets
is thrown away from the house. The flowers are burried under a tree that had
been struck by lightning of left at the gates of a cemetery with an offering of
coins, liquor and smoke to El Baron del Cementerio.
The formation that always follows any formation of Mesa is the Mesa en
Reposo.
If the problem persists, leave la Mesa de Reposo up for three days and then
another cycle of 9 days with the Mesa al Ataque is done.
In all the formation of the Fuente and goblets one can add a splash of Holy
Water and a few drops of Ague Florida or any other spiritual cologne that can
be purchased in a Botanica, Bodega or the Hispanic section within a grocery
store. Important: never purchase Holy Water, it should be gathered in a
Church.
It is a custom in Puerto Rico when approaching your altar to make the sign of
the cross over yourself, knock on the tableau with your nuckles three times
and ring the altar bell. Also if your altar is in a seperate room, one must
knock on the door before entering, and ask the Spirits, Saints, Misterios, Seres
and Muertos to allow entrance.

The Division and Commission of Los

Indios

The Division and Commission of Los

Indios
Within Espiritismo and Sanse there are Seven Legions of Indian Spirits,
known as Divisiones also known as Comisiones. Each of the Divisions has its
own Head Cacique Chief who in life could have had the title of Cacique
"Chief" Bohiques "Priest" or Buhuitihu "Shaman.". Each of the Divisiones
surrounds a native Angelic Force which has become part of the Celestial Court
and is known as a Cemi. The Cemi is the name of the group of the Spiritual
Forces the Taino venerated in life. Each of the Division has a following of
legions known as the Naboria. The Seven Division of Spirits often fall under

one of the seven categories.

Indio de la Paz
Indio de la Fuerza
Indio Poderoso
Indio de la Guerra
Indio Bravo
Indio Libertador
Indio Valiente

The Indios can be ones Centinela or part of ones Cuadro Espiritual. It is

important to understand that while some of the Indios are Wise and Kind,
some are aggressive by nature and very possessive and often overly zealous of
the person they guard and protect. Being an overly protective spirit it is
known within Espiritismo, Brujeria and Sanse circles that if anyone harms a
person who is under the protection of an Indian Spirit they often unleash their
wrath on the offender. This wrath comes in the form of accidents, bad luck,
illnesses, anxieties and mental issues.

While I have seen many individuals keep their Indian paraphernalia and ritual
items on the same Tableau Espiritual "altar" as their Cuadro Espiriritual This
Commision should always be kept away from the other Commisions or on a
shelf or altar all to themselves.

Your power is immense and I do not come to you without utmost respect and

from them. And if they are to find me, let them see that I am surrounded by
the Commission of Indian Spirits who guards and protects me and all I love.

them threefold.

THE CENTINELA The Guardian of

Sanse Relgion

THE CENTINELA
The Guardian of Sanse Religion

"Centinela Alerta!" "Alerta Esta!"

EL FARO DE LA CENTINELA
Oh mi Centinela mi guia y mi guardiero, cuidame bien de da y noche,
temprano y tarde, hasta que mi alma parta al cielo.
Oh mi Centinela, guia principal, qudate conmigo. Yo te doy gracias por tu fiel
compaia. Amn
Guardiero de la paz, Guia de la Guarda, a quien soy encomendado, mi
defensor, mi vigilante centinela; gracias te doy, que me libraste de muchos
daos del cuerpo y del alma. Gracias te doy, que estando durmiendo, me
velaste, y despierto, me encaminaste; al odo, con santas inspiraciones me
avisaste. Perdname, amigo mo, mensajero del cielo, consejero, protector y
fiel guarda ma; muro fuerte de mi alma, defensor y compaero celestial. En
mis desobediencias, vilezas y descortesas, aydame y gurdame siempre de
noche y de da. Amn.

PRAYER TO THE LIGHTHOUSE OF SANSE

Oh my Sentinel, my principle Guide and my Guardian, watch over me day and

night, as the sun rises and when the sun sets, from dawn to dusk. Watch over
me until my soul journeys to the heavens.
Oh my Sentinel, principle guide, accompany me where ever I go and I shall be
humbly grateful.
Guardian of Peace, Guide that Guards over my well being, given to me by
God, my great defender, my vigilant Sentinel, I always shall praise and thank
thee, for liberating me from all that wishes me harm, protecting and defending
my body, mind and soul. Thankful am I because when I am asleep you watch
over me, and when I am awake you keep my feet routed on the earth, and in
my ear you whisper words of inspiration that never leads me astray.
Forgive me my heavenly friend and companion, messenger of God, counselor,
defender, protector, faithful watchman, heavenly fortress, watch tower, and
celestial companion. Forgive my ignorance, my disobedience, and for the
times I did not listen to your advices. Help me in being more attentive, and
guard over me, day and night. Amen.

THE CENTINELA

Of all the Saint, or Spirits within your Cuadro Espiritual none is as important
as ones Centinela, the Centinela is ones Guardiana "guardian' principle spirit
guide and is that spirit that guides and is the leader or head spirit of ones
spiritual frame.
The Centinela is a God appointed spirit thats sole purpose and function is to
guide and assist in the spiritual development of an individual within their
lifespan. The Centinela has many functions but the most important is helping
a person elevate and progress within life while at the same process elevating
themselves as well. Although the Centinela are highly elevated Spirits, they are
not as elevated as the Spiritual Forces we in Espiritismo and the Sanse religion
call the Misterios. But they are elevated enough that they do not ask for
physical offerings such as food, cigars, liquid, or flowers. All they ask is that
we talk to them, pray for them, sing to them give them light, and listen to their
sound advice. If one chooses to give the Centinela a physical offering it should
come in the form of light. The light offered to a Centinela comes in the form of
an aromatic candle, but the Centinela also likes a sweet scented oil lamp or
lantern. The Centinela speaks to us through our dreams but also speak to us
through our inner voice, that voice that tells us what is right from wrong. The
more we listen quietly and meditate on their words, the stronger the bond

becomes with an individual and their Centinela.

The Centinela are the voice of wisdom, and inner knowledge, and will never
give us advice on that which is unethical, immoral or dangerous to our well
being, safety or progression. They will never give advice on anything that goes
against our mental, physical well being, or spiritual growth.
Each individuals Centinela is unique and only serves that particular person.
For example while thousands of people may honor and venerate a certain
Saint for example Saint Michael or the Holy Child of Atocha, or call on a
certain Spirit by name from one of the Courts or Commission the Centinela
works exclusively and in unison with one person, and every person in the
world has one. Each Centinela was chosen by God and accompanies us
through life, from the time of birth until the time of death of the physical
body. No two people have the same Centinela, although they may be called by
the same name.
Although they are highly elevated spirits that once lived on the earth, they are
still close enough to our plane of existence to be aloud a close bond with the
living, and they understand our needs, desires, wants, they understand our
struggles, our pains, our joys and sorrows.
When one builds a healthy relationship with ones Centinela, we create a strong
union and bond, and through their wisdom they speak to us what is acceptable
and unacceptable in our progression.
While an Espiritista or a Sancista can invoke any Spirit from the Commission
of Spirits, it is extremely important to understand that while the Commissions
usually act and speak in a similar fashion as they did in life, and usually the
spirits from the Commission are fond of physical offerings such as candles,
food and liquor. The Centinela always presents himself or herself as a wise
benevolent soul and never partakes of physical offerings. For example, the
Spirits of the Madamas or Gypsies come down dancing singing and can have a
coquette demeanor, or the Congos or Indios can be stern, loud, and very
opinionated, all the while smoking cigars, or partaking of liquid offerings, The
Centinela comes down very wise, and humble and shuns material offerings. If
the Centinela does not agree with a persons actions in life he / she will usually
send another spirit from ones Cuadro in his / her place to handle the situation.
As they always come down as wise and benevolent souls, and while other
spirits from ones Cuadro come to dance, partake of offerings, remove curses
and perform cleansing a Centinela usually comes quietly to give his or her
blessings, or to give important spiritual messages.
Although an Espiritista or a Sansista can call on any Spirit from their Cuadro
Espiritual, they often call the Centinela into possession more often than any
other; and rather than calling the Misterios they call the Centinela because it

is so close to us that less energy is needed in invoking them. To call or become

possessed by the Corrientes 'Spiritual Forces" of a Misterio more energy must
be generated and more ritual labor is required. This by no means implies that
an Espiritista or a Sansista can not become possessed by the Corrientes of the
Misterios. We often do during Misas, Bautismos, Fiestas Espirituales or Rites
of Passages, but on a daily basis when we need to exert the least amount of
energy such as Limpias, Despojos or Consultas Espirituales we invoke the
Corriente of our Centinela.
Although the Centinela do not have physical representations, Espiritistas and
Sansistas keep a statue or a framed image of a Saint to spiritually represent
the Centinela. In Puerto Rico this image is usually in the form of a statue or
framed picture of Saint Sebastian or Saint Pancracio for a male Centinela
while the Female Centinela is represented by a picture of the virtues Faith,
Hope and Charity, or a charm that has an anchor, heart and cross.
It is important to understand that ruthless, cruel, merciless, are disposed to
inflict pain or suffering, are void of humane feelings and evil individuals loose
the protections and guidance of ones Cuadro Espiritual and Centinela, it
begins to weaken and wane within time, until the person has no spiritual
protection whatsoever, and becomes enveloped by personal demons and
intranquil spirits. Individuals born with mental health issues have a strong
connection with ones Centinela. While individuals who fall under substance
abuse, such as narcotics, liquor or has no control for over indulgences of the
flesh are often influenced more by Demons and Intranquil Spirits, and their
spiritual frame weakens within time. Individuals who suffer mental illnesses
that cause depression are protected by their Spiritual Frame, but also need to
find mental help in order to align mind, body, and spirit in unison in order to
properly heal and elevate.

Prayer to Saint Sebastian

O Lord, grant us a spirit of strength. Taught by the glorious example of Your

martyr, Saint Sebastian, may we learn to obey You rather than men.
O Glorious St Sebastian, faithful follower of Jesus Christ, to you do we raise

our hearts and hands to implore your powerful intercession in obtaining from
God the Father all the helps and graces necessary for our spiritual and
temporal welfare, particularly the grace of living a holy life, courage to face all
perils of my believe and even to sacrifice my life as the cost of my faith and this
special favour we now implore. O, special guardian, guard me from the
diseases and accidents, we feel animated with confidence that your intercession
on my behalf will be graciously heard before the throne of God.
Amen
In Puerto Rico San Sebastian is often known as or called, San Se, or Sanse. A
popular theory of the root of the word Sanse, among Puerto Ricans comes
from the Centinela Principle Spirit Guide who is associated with San Sebastian
in Puerto Rico. On the island, San Sebastian is often called, San SE, or Sanse,
for short. in Japan the word Sensei means, person who was born before, or
Teacher or Master. Puerto Rican Sanse has its roots in Haitian Voodoo and
Dominican 21 Division. Thus Sanse is a branch of Voodoo, while Santerismo is
a branch of Cuban Santeria, with, both greatly influenced by Puerto Rican
Brujeria, and Mesa Blanca Espiritismo.

The Guardians of Espiritismo, Sister

Faith, Hope & Charity
The Guardians of Espiritismo
Sister Faith, Hope & Charity

FAITH

I am the eldest sister of Hope and Charity. My name is Faith

I am big and strong and he who possesses me shall not suffer from Iron nor
fire. Nor suffer mentally nor physically. I illuminate over your path and he
who possesses the flames of my torch shall receive the radiant light within
their heart, and I will bless you with the fortifications of strength and life. The
living say that I have the power to move mountains; but I say that I have come
to move the whole earth. Spiritism is my assistant. Unite with me, for I am
Faith.
I am Faith and I reside with my sisters Hope and Charity and I live in the
realm of pure spirits.
I come down from the Heavens to the earth to regenerate you and bring the
blessings of a spiritual life. But not unlike the martyrs from the beginning of
our faith whose sole purpose and sacrifices were to assist the progression of
science and liberty. I too find indifference and frailty. I returned to my realm
of spirit sorrowful, I thought that I lived within your heart, but I quickly found
out that you deceived me, for true Faith without good intentions is untrue, and
true Faith comes with a life of actions.

Before Spiritism was revealed to humans, life was sterile, it was like a tree
dying with the absence of sunlight, which sustains it. But I come forth to tell
you that I am recognized by my actions; I illuminate intelligence, and bring
warmth and strength to the human heart. I am here to conduct God's
spiritual labor for the purification and perfection of your soul. Take me by the
hand and join my army, I am powerful, I am Faith.
I am Sister Faith, and my kingdom is within the world of the living. With
God's vigilance, I reign in peace, bringing the mysteries of eternal life and
happiness. I baptize the hearts of the living with rejuvenation. I call upon you
with my name, I am FAITH.

HOPE

I am Sister Hope, and I smile as I enter into the breath of life. I continue my
journey step by step and halt when I have arrived in the realm of the living
bringing the recognition of the promise of eternal happiness. I am your
faithful companion, do not refute my inspiration, I am Hope.

I am the voice of the singing nightingale whose echoes reach the highest peaks
of the mountains. I am she that inspires the swallow to make its nest in the
safety of the roofs of your sacred temples. I am she that plays with the nightly
breeze that caresses your hair and I place the fragrance of the flowers before
your feet. Sadly a reality you do not contemplate, for the thought barely
reaches your subconscious mind; do not refute me, for I am Hope.
I take many forms to be by your side, to inspire you, to guide you, and to be
near you. I am the brightest star in the darkest night, I am the rays of the sun
that awakens, revives and inspires you, I bring but pleasant thoughts and the
sweetest of dreams. From your pathway I lead you away from danger, and
keep at bay dark and somber thoughts. And if you come in contact with the
dying, I inspire within you the most wisest of words that brings hope and
comfort. Do not refute me, I am Hope.
I am Sister Hope and assist the birds in making ribbons out of moss so that
they may build their sheltering nest. I am she that crowns the apple and
almond trees with leaves and flowers, and I spread and sow the seeds that shall
harvest a happier world.
I am with you when you are ill, and sing soothing lullabies within your ear.
Do not refute me. I am Hope.
Do not refute me because the Angel of Deception makes war, and yearns to
take my place at your side. I am not always the stronger one, and many times
he defeats me and envelopes his dark wings around you, engulfing you like a
babies blanket. He leads you astray from the path of God and inspires within
your mind foul and impure thoughts of suicide. Unite with me, together we
shall overcome his influences. I shall carry you when you are down and weak.
I Am Hope.

CHARITY

I am Sister Charity, and yes it is I that represent the true meaning of the word.
I do not resemble the charity you practice, she that has usurped my name in
the midst of my absence. This charity you claim to have is fanatic, capricious,
and ego vested. I come to warn you against the blindfold she places over your
eyes and keeps you from seeing the splendor of God's work. Remain docile to
the lessons the Spirit of Truth wishes to bestow upon you, and with your ears
follow my voice faithfully and without fear. I am Charity.
I know all the pain, all the sorrows, every suffering, misfortune and every and
all affliction that ascends and is conceived and spawned within the bowels of
the human soul. I am the mother of the orphaned, beloved daughter of the old,
and guardian of the widows. I come to cure infected wounds and lesions, I
have come to comfort the ill, and to clothe, feed and give warmth to those in
need and are less fortunate.

My preference is to no one, and I say unto those that seek me, I have my
followers who are stricken with poverty and I shall direct them to the glory
and wealth of the Heavens. Oh! False charity, look at the harm that you
create. And to my followers who believe in me and do not refute my assistance
to their fellow man, I say have mercy on one another, with the intentions of not
erasing the mercy that I pour unto you. Peace of mind, and heart is the fruits

of my labor.
I am the truthful and genuine Charity.
No one on earth shall ever conceive or begin to understand the nature of all the
goodness of my labor, and only the false charity causes discomfort and
damages and then ultimately humbles he who it consoles. But be weary of this
unfortunate loss of purpose, for actions of this magnitude has no saving grace
before the eyes of the Lord; and shall bring nothing but pestilence before you.
One must in truth recognize the generosity of the heart especially when acting
for the benefits of others. Take great care my brothers and sisters, in giving
publicly to the practice of mutual assistance, and do not give false charity, nor
beg for money and do not practice false charity which is void of alms. Follow
me, I am Charity.
It is my very nature to console those that have fallen from grace, but sadly
often I walk empty handed. I also have come to inform what is required of
you, Spiritism has by its true nature; Love, Light, Progress and Charity, and
all true Spiritists must confirm to this sublime concept, which has been given
unto you by our Lord and Savior, more than 20 centuries ago. Follow me in
perfect trust my earthly brothers and sisters, for I shall lead you to the
Kingdom of the Lord. I am Charity.

Las Guardianas del Espiritismo

Fe, Esperanza, y Caridad

LA FE

Soy la hermana mayor de la Esperanza y de la Caridad, me llamo Fe.

Soy grande y fuerte; el que me posea no teme mi al hierro ni al fuego; es a
prueba de todos los sufrimientos fsicos y morales. Resplandezco sobre
vosotros como una antorcha cuyos chispeantes rayos se reflejan en el fondo de
vuestros corazones, y os comunico la fuerza y la vida. Entre vosotros se dice
que yo levanto las montaas y yo os digo: Vengo a conmover al mundo, porque
el Espiritismo es el que debe ayudarme. Unos, pues, a m; yo os convido: soy la
Fe.
Soy la Fe! Habito con la Esperanza, la Caridad y el Amor en el mundo de los
espritus puros. A menudo he bajado de las regiones areas y he venido sobre
la tierra a regeneraros dndoos la vida del espritu, pero a excepcin de los
martires de los primeros tiempos del cristianismo y algunos fervientes
sacrificios hechos de tarde en tarde para el progreso de la ciencia de las letras,
de la industria y de la libertad slo he encontrado entre los hombre
indiferencia y frialdad y he vuelto a remontar tristemente mi vuelo hacia el
cielo; me creais entre vosotros, pero os engaabais; porque la Fe sin las obras,
no es la Fe; la verdadera Fe es la vida y la accin.
Antes de la revelacin del Espiritismo, la vida era estril; era un rbol seco por
las refulgentes chispas del rayo que nada produca. Se me reconoce por mis
actos; ilumino las inteligencias, caliento y reanimo los corazones en mi regazo;
alejo de vosotros las influencias engaosas y os conduzco a Dios por la
perfeccin del espritu y del corazn. Venid y agrupaos bajo mi estandarte, soy
poderosa y fuerte: soy la Fe.
Soy la Fe, y mi reinado empieza entre los hombres, reinado pacfico, que les
har felices para el tiempo presente, para la eternidad. La aurora para mi
advenimiento entre vosotros es pura, serena; su sol ser resplandeciente y su
ocaso vendr a mecer dulcemente a la humanidad en los brazos de eterna
felicidad. Espiritismo! Derramas sobre los hombres tu bautismo regenerador;
yo les hago un llamamiento supremo, soy la Fe.

LA ESPERANZA

Me llamo la Esperanza; os sonro cuando entris en la vida, en ella os sigo,

paso a paso, y slo os dejo cuando llegis a los mundos en que se realizan, para
vosotros, las promesas de felicidad que sin cesar os. Soy vuestra fiel amiga; no
rechacis mis inspiraciones: Soy la Esperanza. Yo soy la que canto por el
camino con la voz del ruiseor, y la que en el eco de los bosques exhalo esas
notas lastimeras y armoniosas que os hacen entrever los cielos; yo soy la que
inspiro a la golondrina el deseo de anidar sus amores al abrigo de vuestros
techos; juego con las brisas que acaricia vuestros cabellos; derramo a vuestros
pies los perfumes suaves de las flores de vuestros jardines, y casi nunca ocupis
vuestro pensamiento con esta amiga que tan sincera os es. No la rechacis: es
la Esperanza.
Tomo todas las formas para acercarme a vosotros; soy la estrella que brilla en
azul del cielo, el caliente rayo del sol que os vivifica: yo os entretengo por las
noches con sueos festivos; alejo de vosotros el negro cuidado de los
pensamientos; guo vuestros pasos por el sendero de la virtud; os acompao en
vuestras visitas, a los moribundos, y os inspiro las palabras afectuosas que les
consuelan. No me rechacis; yo soy la Esperanza.
!Soy la Esperanza! Yo soy la que en invierno hago crecer en la corteza de las
encinas el musgo espeso donde los pajarillos construyen su nido; soy la que en
la primavera corona el manzano y el almendro de blancas y rosadas flores, y
las esparzo sobre la tierra sobre alfombra celeste que hace aspirar a los
mundos felices. Sobre todo, yo estoy en vosotros cuando estis pobres y

enfermos, mi voz suena sin cesar en vuestros odos, no me rechacis: soy la

Esperanza. No me rechacis porque el angel de despero me hace una Guerra
encarnizada y agota sus esfuerzos para tener mi puesto al lado de vosotros; no
siempre soy la ms fuerte, y cuando consigue que me aleje, os rodea con sus
fnebres alas, desva vuestros pensameintos de Dios y os conduce al suicidio;
unos a m para alejar su funesta influencia y dejaos mecer dulcemente en mis
brazos porque yo soy: la ESPERANZA.

LA CARIDAD

Soy la Caridad, s, la verdadera Caridad; en nada me parezco a la caridad que

vosotros practicis. La que ha usurpado mi nombre entre vosotros, es
fantstica, caprichosa, exclusiva, orgullosa y vengo a precaveros contra los
defectos que empaan, a los ojos de Dios, el mrito y resplandor de sus buenas
acciones. Sed dciles a las lecciones que el Espritu de Verdad os da or mi voz;
seguidme los que me sois fieles: yo soy la Caridad.
Seguidme; yo conozco todos los infortunios, todos los dolores, todos los
sufrimientos, todas las afliccciones que asedian a la humanidad. Soy la madre
de los hurfanos, la hija de los ancianos, la protectora y el sostn de las viudas;
curo las llagas infectadas: cuido todas las enfermedades; doy vestido, pan y

abrigo a los que no lo tienen; subo hasta las ms miserables buhardillas; voy a
la humilde pocilga; llamo a las puertas de los ricos y poderosos, porque donde
quiera que viva una criatura humana, hay bajo el velo de la felicidad amargos
y punzantes dolores. !Oh! Cun grande es mi tarea! No basto a llenarla si no
vena en mi ayuda; venid a m yo soy la Caridad.
No guardo preferencia a nadie; jams digo a los que necesitan: Tengo mis
pobres, dirigos a otra parte. !Oh, falsa caridad, qu daos haces! Amigos,
nos debemos a todos; creedme no rehusis vuestra asistencia a nadie, socorred
los unos a los otros con bastante desinters para no exigir ningn
reconocimeinto de parte de los que habris socorrido, la paz del corazn y de
la conciencia es la dulce recompensa de mis obras: yo soy la verdadera
Caridad. Nadie en la Tierra conoce el nmero y la naturaleza del bien que
hago; slo la falsa caridad hiere y humilla al que consuela. Guardos de este
funesto extravo; las acciones de esta clase no tienen ningn mrito delante de
Dios, y llaman sobre vosotros su clera. Slo l debe conocer los generosos
rasgos de vuestros corazones cuando os hacis tributarios de sus beneficios.
Guardos, pues, amigos, de dar publicidad a la prctica de la asistencia mutua,
no la dis tampoco de limosna: creedme: yo soy la Caridad. Tengo que
consolar a tantos desgraciados, que muy a menudo se me quedan los pechos y
las manos vacas; vengo a deciros lo que espero de vosotros. El Espiritismo
tiene por divisa Amor y Caridad, y todos los verdaderos espiritistas querrn
conformarse a este sublime precepto, predicado por Cristo hace ms de diez y
nueve siglos. Seguidme, pues, hermanos; yo os conducir al reino de Dios
nuestro padre: yo soy la CARIDAD.

The Commission of the Piratas

The Commission of the Piratas and the Marineros

Centinela Alerta!!!
Alerta Esta!!
Guard, be alert!
Alert, I am!
The various groups of this Commission of Spirits are as follows.
los Piratas = The Pirates the outlaws, a Pirata or Pirates was the Captain and
crew of a ship that attacked other vessels and stole from them. Pirates where
independent and worked for no one but themselves. They labored for personal
gain, and where the common thieves of the seas. They where independent and
did not work under the flag or protection of any country or nation. El Botin,
or the booty was shared with the Captain and his crew. A greater percentage
went to the Captain. Many pirates where unethical and blood thirsty.
Los Corsarios = The Privateers where a group of Pirates who attached and
stole under the flag and protection of a King or Queen or a country. These
Pirates where funded and protected by the Country for whom they stole for
and their booty was split between the King and the Corsario. The Corsario
split his half between himself and his crew. Many Corsarios where Caribbean
native born, who at first sailed and looted for the Spanish flag, but then
witnessing the injustice and cruelty done to their native homes became rogue,
outlaws and unprotected Pirates.
Los Filibustero = The Filibuster name of a group of pirates that sailed and
infested the Antilles in the 1700s and early 1800s. This group of Pirates unlike
other pirates worked solely on the Caribbean sea, and usually did not stray to
far from the coast of the island they where a native of, and only ventured to
other surrounding Caribbean islands. They stole from the King and Country
that governed and often oppressed their island and shared their botty with the
poor.
Los Bucaneros = The Buccaneers were American born pirates who resided in
Haiti the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. They stole live stock, such as
pigs, goats, cows and horses. They traded skin, hives, meat and live stock with
Pirates and privateers for gunpowder, weapons, and cloth which they
smuggled to the United States.

Ranks of Spirits that can be part of this Cuadro Espiritual are.

The Captain = el Capitan
The Lieutenant = el Teniente (Second Mate)
The Master = el Maestro (Third Mate)
The Boatswain = el Contramastre
The Gunner = el Almero
The Carpenter = el Carpintero
The Quartermaster = el Intendente
The Mates = Los Tripulacines
PRAYER OF THE CASTAWAY AND SHIPWRECKED
. Plageria del Naufrago
The following prayer is one of the most loved prayers within Espiritismo,
Santerismo and the Sanse Religion, and it is recited frequently, during nightly
prayers, in Sesiones, Veladas and Embajadas.

Spanish

Torna tu vista, dios mio, Hacia esta infeliz criatura.

No me des la sepultura Entre las olas del mar.
Dame la fuerza y valor Para salvar el abismo,
Dame gracia por lo mismo, Que es tan grande tu bondad.

Si yo, cual fragil barquilla, Por misoberbia halagado,

El mar humano he cruzado, Tan solo tras el placer;
Dejame, senor, que vuelva A pisar el continente,
Haciendo voto ferviente De ser cristiano con fe.
Si yo con mi torpe falta Me ha mecido entre la bruma
Desafiando la espuma Que levanta el temporal,
Te ofresco que en adelante No tendre el atrevimiento
De ensordeser el lamento De aquel que sufre en el mal.

Y si siguiendo mi rumbo, He tenido hasta el descaro

De burlarme de aquel faro Que puerto me designo:
Yo te prometo, dios mio, No burlarme de esa luz
Que brilla sobre la cruz Por el hijo de tu amor.
!Oh tu, padre de mi alma, Que escuchas el afligido,
Y me vez arrepentido De lo que mi vida fue.
Salvame, dios mio, salvame Y dame, antes que de cuenta,
Para que yo me arrepienta

El tiempo preciso, Amen.

ENGLISH

Place your vision upon me my Lord,

I a meak and unhappy creature.
Do not allow my grave to be within
the waves of the sea.

Give me strength and courage to arise from the depths of this

abyss, and if it is your will, grant me the grace to except the unknown.
For your mysteries and goodness are incomparable.

For I am like a fragile boat, and have become arrogant,

thinking I can cross the sea of men, looking only for pleasures.

I ask you Father to allow me to touch the coastal land

and renew my vows to be a charitable Christian.

If I in my arrogance have become lost within the waves and the mists.
As I try to defy the storm and the rising foam.
I vow that I will not have the audacity to ignore the deafening
cries and lament of those that suffer within the sea.

And if I in continuing my course through life ignored the lighthouse

that my port designated for me.
I vow my God never again to mock the light that shines upon
the Cross of your beloved Son.
Oh my heavenly Father, you that hear the prayers of the afflicted,
distressed, mournful, desolate, and troubled souls.
You see that I have become repentant of the life I once leed.

Save me my Lord before it is to late, for

I repent and have strayed from the life I once lived.
Amen
In all my years working La Mesa I can say I cant ever recall anyone bringing
down a Pirata or Carsario from the Commision of Pirates. One major reason
for thos is because their souls have returned to the mysteries of the vast ocean,
and nightmarish stories circulate in Seance circles through out the Caribbean
on how powerful and dangerous these spirits are, that those who are not under
their protection risk an untimely death if invoked from their slumber. The
mysteries of the Ocean are to vast for any one individual to take upon, and
only one who has this spirit as a Centinela should dare invoke them; and even
then they can be very unpredictable.
When we think to name the real Pirates of the Caribbean, we think of names
such as Captain Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, Black Bart, el Diabolito, Anne
Bonny and Mary Read to name a few. People have asked me why is this Court
of Pirates Spirits venerated or respected within Mesa Blanca or Espiritismo
Cruzado, since many pirates are known for their lawless behavior, thievery
and as blood thirsty ruthless killers. While in part this is true, but also
through out history there have been Pirates who where loved and respected
and known as heroes of the people, even literature and mythology tells the
heroic tales of fictional Pirates such as Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts and
recently Captain Jack Sparrow, who have been loved revered and
venerated as heroes by children and those with a child like heart all over the
world. Puerto Rico is no exception to this rule, and the two Pirates I am going

to mention were not fictional character but actual historic figures that lived
and sailed the Caribbean seas. Much of their historical lives have been
shrouded in mystery and folk legends and fictional tales have been told to the
children of the island of the adventures and exploits of these two pirates.

Capitan Miguel Henrquez

1680 until 1743

Captain Miguel Henriquez also spelled Miguel Enriquez a Mulatto (half black
half white) was famous for being one of the Wealthiest Men in the New World
at the time, and defeated the English on Vieguez and Culebra Island and
reclaimed it for the thrown of Spain and the island of Puerto Rico. He was
such a famous Corsario that he was dubbed the Captain of the Seas and Land.
Although he was well respected he died a pauper in a Catholic Convent after
being stripped of his title and loosing his wealth, after going rogue against the
Spanish government for their mistreatment of Puerto Rican Criollos. But of
all the famous native born Pirates of the Caribbean none was as famous and
loved as the Puerto Rican Criollo el Pirata Roberto Cofresi. His history has
been so shrouded with historical facts, myths and legends and he has become
one of the most interesting spirits respected within Puerto Rican Espiritismo
and Sanse Religion.

el Pirata Roberto Cofres

June 17, 1791 March 29, 1825

Roberto Cofres Ramrez de Arellano was born and raised in the coastal town
of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. At a young age Roberto fantasized of a life at sea
after hearing the stories and legends told by local fishermen seamen and
sailors. At around the age of 21 he purchased a small vessel that he dubbed El
Mosquito, and in 1818 at the age of 27 he organized a crew of mates which
consisted of 10 of his closest hometown friends and family members and set
out to sea as Pirates. He remained a Pirate for another 8 years until his
capture persecution and death. In Puerto Rico he was dubbed, El Pirata
Cofresi and became a local hero similar to Robin Hood, as he often attacked
American, French and English ships and shared his booty with the poor. He
was greatly loved by the people that many hid him and his crew from
American and later Spanish authorities.

Many myths, legends, and folk lore surrounds el Pirata Cofresi, it was believed
by many that he sold his soul to the Devil in order to have superhuman and

magical abilities. Some of his magical abilities was to make his ship disappear
out of thin air when escaping his enemies, others say that he was a womanizer
and his charm over women rivaled that of Don Juan el Burlador de Sevilla,
"Trickster Womanizer of Seville Spain" and the Italian Casanova, while still
other legends say that he had the strength to defeat anyone who would dare
challenge him. Other legends tell on how the pirate refuge Island of La Mona,
off the western coast of Puerto Rico was a favorite hideout for Cofresi and his
mates and the island is believed to be haunted by Cofresi and his crew. But
the most interesting stories have to do with the hidden treasure of el Pirata
Cofresi. Some legends say that Cofresi hid his treasure in either La Mona
island, Monito or Desecheo Island. While others argue that his lost buried
treasure is on Coffin Island " Caja de Muertos" of the Southern coast of
Ponce, Puerto Rico, while still others argue that he hid his treasure in one of
the caves of his hometown of Cabo Rojo such as la cueva de Playa Buye one of
his hide outs or the Cueva del Pirata Cofres.
What is interesting to note is that many locals of Cabo Rojo believe to have
seen the Ghost of Cofresi walking the streets on the nights of the Full Moon
drinking his rum and chanting old Spanish hymns.
Accounts also state that during a drunken stupor of rum he confessed to some
the whereabouts of his treasure, he told a person that he hid his treasure at the
base of a Ceiba tree where the roots touched the sea and that it could only be
seen on the nights of the Full Moon. Cofresi locked the treasure with a chain
and cast a spell over it to keep it hidden. The magical spell consisted of his
treasure being hidden in the waters and is guarded by a school of fish that
swim around it, furiously shaking the dirt around the treasure chest to keep it
hidden. One legend tells the tale of how an American female archaeologist
became so obsessed with finding Cofresi's lost treasure that she scouted all the
possible locations and whereabouts of his lost treasure. One cloudy night she
sat under a Ceiba tree
for rest when all of a sudden the clouds parted and the rays of the Full moon
shown on the waters below. There the woman saw the treasure chest of
Cofresi surrounded by the swimming school of fish. She quickly jumped into
the water to try and pull the chest out, and at that very moment the clouds
engulfed the moon and the school of fish transformed into man eating sharks
and in a frenzy tore the woman apart sending her soul straight to Davy Jone's
locker.
In 1824 in a fierce battle with Captain John Slout of U.S. naval ship the
Grampus, Cofresi and his crew of 11 to 16 men where captured and where
turned over to the Spanish government. The Spanish incarcerated him and his
crew in the Fort of el Castillo de San Felipe del Morro in Old San Juan, Puerto
Rico. He and his crew spent their final months jailed in the fort and on March
29, 1825 he was excuted by a firing squad. Some legends say that he was

skinned alive and his body was dragged by horse all around the Walled city,
then was burried at the only entrance and exist of el Cementerio Antiguo de
San Juan, Santa Maria Magdalena Cemetary so that all who entered and
excited the cemetery would walk over his final resting place. His final resting
place was never marked, but historians believe he is actually buried on one of
the mounds or hills behind the cemetery or infront of the entrance of the Fort.
According to legend, before Cofresi was killed he placed the " Maldicion del
Mal de Ojo" Curse of the evil eye on Captain John Slout and the Ship
Grampus, and in 1848 the ship with all its crew where lost at sea, never to be
found.
Till this day el Pirata Roberto Cofres is viewed as a national hero, the Puerto
Rican Robin Hood and a statue was erected in his honor at Boqueron beach in
Cabo Rojo. He was also loved and respected in the neighboring island of the
Dominican Republic, and his hide out on the island today is known as Playa
Cofresi.

Commission of the Marineros

Spiritist accounts of Cofresi's apparitions include accounts claiming that when
summoned in Veladas or Sesiones Espirituales, "La Fuerza de Cofresi" or the
strength of Cofres's spirit is so excessive and overpowering to the point of

killing the Casilla host he possesses. For this reason it is rare that any
Espiritismo or Sanse circle dare bother him or any Pirate for that matter from
their slumber. Usually spirits of Marineros "Sailors" are invoked. The
Patron Saint and protector of all sea lovers is Saint Peter and the their
guardian Virgin is Nuestra Seora Virgen del Mar or Stella Maris. Our Lady
of the Sea, the Star of the Ocean.

SALVE ESTRELLA DEL MAR

Ave Maris Stella

Salve, Estrella del mar, Madre, que diste luz a Dios, quedando perpetuamente
virgen,
Feliz puerta del cielo. Pues recibiste aquel Ave de los labios de Gabriel,
cimintanos en la paz, Trocando el nombre de Eva.
Suelta las prisiones a los reos; da lumbre a los ciegos, ahuyenta nuestros males,
recbanos todos los bienes.

Muestra que eres Madre. Reciba por tu mediacin nuestras plegarias el que,
nacido por nosotros, se dign ser tuyo.
Virgen singular, sobre todas, suave, haz que, libres de culpas, seamos suaves y
castos.
Danos una vida pura, prepara una senda segura, para que, viendo a Jess,
eternamente nos gocemos.

Gloria sea a Dios Padre, Loor a Cristo Altsimo Y al Espritu Santo: A los Tres
un solo honor. Amn.

Hail Star of the Sea

Hail, thou Star of the ocean, Portal of the sky. Ever Virgin Mother Of the
Lord most high.
Oh by Gabriel's Ave, Uttered long ago, Eva's name reversing, Stablish peace
below.
Break the captive's fetters. Light on blindness pour. All our ills expelling,
Every bliss implore.
Show thyself a Mother; Offer Him our sighs, Who for us Incarnate Did not
thee despise.
Virgin of all virgins! To thy shelter take us, Gentlest of the gentle! Chaste and
gentle make us.
Still as on we journey, Help our weak endeavor; Till with thee and Jesus We
rejoice forever.
Through the highest heaven, To the Almighty Three, Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, One in the same, glory be. Amen.

The Commission of the Juanes

Commission of the Juanes

NOCHE DE SAN JUAN

No other magical and spiritual tradition is as important to Puerto Ricans as

the Noche de San Juan, or Night of Saint John. Celebrated every year on the
night of June 23rd. In honor of the islands Patron Saint. During the eve of
Saint John's birthday people from all over the islands go to the beach, build
bonfires, play music and feast on food. As the clock begins to strike 12
midnight everyone rushes into the water and countdown out loud the final
seconds, similar to New Years Eve. When the clock strikes 12, everyone walks
backwards into the waters and jump in or dunk themselves 7, 9, or 12 times to
ritually purify themselves and make a request to San Juan Bautista. The
waters are believed to be pure on this night, blessed and have magical healing
properties and help in removing curses, bad luck, the evil eye, as well as
having healing properties. Before the countdown, many bonfires are built and
many people jump the flames to cleanse themselves of unwanted negative
vibrations.

One of the most mysterious and often misunderstood Courts of Spirits within

Espiritismo and the Sanse Religion is la Comision de los Juanes or the Court /
Commission of the Juanes It is believed that this group of Spirits is infinite
and that they come from all walks of life and from every continent. Although
they are gathered into a single Commission of Spirits, the Juanes can also fall
under any other Commission such as the Gypsies, Indians, Pirates Africans or
slaves and so on. The name Juan, or John means "Dios es Generoso" or God is
Generous; the leader of this commission is either Juan el Bautista, John the
Baptist, also known as Juan de la Fuente, John of the Fountain, and Juan el
Apostol, John the Apostle the author of the Book of Revelations. Juan el
Apostle was a prophetic seer and wrote the last book of the bible through
visions and oracles that he used to see and fortell future events. Juan el
Apostol was the only one of the 12 disciples of Jesus who died a natural death
at an old age. While San Juan el Bautista represents beginnings Juan el
Apostol represents the End which leads to new beginnings.
The Commission of the Juanes are the spirits of Emperors, Kings, Popes,
Prophets, Patriarchs, Visionaries, Magus, Saints, Shamans, and Seers, In
Espiritismo they are usually indirectly invoked and are often mentioned in
prayers and invocations to other Saints or Spirits, this is because the
Commission of the Juanes represent that group of Spirits that open and closes
doorways and pathways, and lead the higher level spirits to our spiritual
sessions and reunions and are the messengers of the Hierarchy of Angelic
Beings and Ascended Masters. Such as was the Indian Juan Diego for the
Virgin of Guadelupe, the three Juanes who found the statue of the Virgin of
Charity of Cobre of the shores of Cuba, and other Juanes throughout history
The Commission of the Juanes are also prophetic spirits, Just as Juan the
Bautista prophesied the coming of the Messiah and Savior of Man, and as
Juan el Apostol prophesized the apocalypse and the second coming of Jesus in
the last days, the Juanes usually come to foretell future events.
The Juanes are also trickster and prankster spirits, and the King of these
Tricksters is Juan el Conquistador, or John the Conqueror. In Puerto Rico
the king of these prankster trickster spirits is the jibaro child folk hero Spirit
of Juan Bobo, or John the Simpleton.
The Marias also fall under this particular Commission and the Punto or
leading spirit is ruled by Maria Magdalena. (Mary Magdalene, who Jesus cast
out from her body the 7 Intranquil Spirits Seven Demons) and was the first to
witness the resurrection of Christ. Another Maria was the prostitute Maria
who with her tears washed the feet of Christ and dried them with her hair, and
then she anointed his feet with perfume and oils of Nardo "Spikenard" and
Lavandula "Lavender". Some of the most popular Maria that come to
Embajadas in Sesiones Espirituales within Espiritismo include Maria de La
Luz, Maria de los Cuatro Costal, La India Maria, la Venezuelana Maria
Lionza, the gypsi Maria Candelaria, Maria de las Siete Sayas, Maria Lucero,

Maria Antonieta, Maria que Gira el Mundo and Maria Dolerosa to name a
few.
Like the Juanes, many Marias are historical and folkloric figures and also are
believed to be Pre-Columbian Indigenous and African goddesses whose
followers hid them in images of the Virgin Mary, to keep their memory and
legacy alive.

The name Maria "Mary" appears 51 times in the New Testament and they are
6 of these which are.
1. Mary, the mother of Jesus
2. Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom Jesus cast out seven demons.
After Jesus cast seven demons from her, she became one of His followers.
3. Mary of Bethany, sister of Martha and Lazarus
4. Mary, the mother of the disciple James and Joses
5. Mary, the mother of John Mark
6. Mary of Rome

As this group of Spirits opens and closes pathways they are often prayed and
invoked for any multiple task imaginable. Be it for work, money, dominating
occult enemies or bringing back a wondering lover. The following prayers are
popular and come from all over Latin America and the Caribbean. In
Venezuela 3 Potencia Espiritismo where this Commission of Spirits is
exceptionally popular they are known as La Corte de los Don Juanes

SAN JUAN DEL AMOR

ESPIRITISMO AND SANSE

RELIGION RITES OF PASSAGE
ESPIRITISMO AND SANSE RELIGION
RITES OF PASSAGE AND THE VARIOUS
MISAS

MISA DE INVESTIGACION
The Misa de Investigacin is one of the first ceremonies that is undertaken
within Espiritismo and the Sanse Religion It is a sanse of four or more
Espiritas and Mediums seated around a person who is to find out the Spirits
that make up his or her Cuadro Espiritual. During la Investigacion it is rare
for anyone to become possessed by a Spirit, but it does happen. A spiritual
consultation is given through divination from either the cards, tobacco, sea
shells, or other methods. Through this process one finds out the various
groups that make up a person's Spiritual frame, and who are some of the
Ancestors or dominant blood lineage and if the person needs to undertake any
further initiations of development; and if the individual is elected to become
the head Medium's (Presidente de Mesa) ahijado / ahijada (godchild). It is
important to have a Clairaudient medium a Clairvoyant medium and at least
one physical medium which is the Mediamnidad de mano derecha in addition
to the person presiding over the misa, which is the Presidente de Mesa and will
become the Padrino or the Madrina of the person undergoing this misa.
The Centinela and each of the spirits of ones Cuadro will be invoked with
prayers and songs enticing them to participate and if possible make their
presence be known and what are the Cortes or Comisiones (Courts,
Commissions) of spirits that make up the ahijado's Cuadro Espiritual.

EL BAUTISMO

The bautismos are baptismal ceremonial rites of passage that an individual

undertakes which usually last anywhere from four to seven days. During
these days the individual undertaking los Bautismo will officially become the
ahijado / ahijada of the Presidente de Mesa "head medium" performing the
ceremony and the head medium will become the Padrino or Madrina of the
person receiving the bautismos. The ahijado / ahijada will undergo various
bautismo ceremonies, depending on the tradition of el Padrino or la Madrina.
In tropical areas such as Puerto Rico it is always performed outdoors within a
rainforest, river, lake, wooded area or mountain top, but in urban settings
within the United States the bautismo are done indoors in a Centro Espiritual
or the homes of the Padrino, Madrinas, or ahijado.
Some of the Bautismos are as followed, Bautismo de Agua, Bautismo de Fuego,
Bautismo de Tierra and Bautismo de Humo y aire (air). Each night the
ahijado will receive, a special cleansing prepared with herbs, oils and perfumes
called a Punto for the Centinela (head spiritual guide) and other spirits of the
Corte / Comision, Angel de la Guarda, Misterio and Santo Patron.

ALINEACION DE CUADRO ESPIRITUAL

AND THE CONSULTA DE INVESTIGACION

The Alineacion de Cuadro Espiritual, Alignment of the Spiritual Frame is a

special Mesa Blanca Espiritismo ceremony performed by the same group of
mediums mentioned above for the purpose of identifying the actual names of
the ahijado's Centinela, and other spirits guides that makes up the Cuadro
Espiritual. The Ceremony is performed differently by various Centro
Espirituales, and depends if the Centro de Mesa Blanca Espiritismo is purely
Espiritismo or more Santerismo or Sanse, in Sanse this procedure is known as
la Consulta de Investigacion. The difference with the Consulta de
Investigacion and the Alineacion de Cuadro Espiritual is that the Consulta
deals with finding out who ones various Puntos, Jefe, Santos and Mysterios are
while the purpose of the Alineacion is to find out the name of the Centinela
Principle Guide, and the names of other Commissions that make up the
ahijado's Cuadro Espiritual.
Before the ceremony the ahijado undertaking the ceremony must fast that day,
or consume raw vegetables and fruits until the ceremony is complete and
refrain from sexual activities and vulgar usage of language. His/her Padrino
or Madrina, the Mediamnidad de Mano Derech and other mediums will
prepare the altar and adequately purify and cleanse the location where the
misa is to be held.

The altar usually consists of the basic Mesa Blanca layout, a table covered in a
white cloth, with one Fuente Espiritual, and a large White candle and Vases
full of water are placed on the altar, but some traditions add more Fuentes.
The ceremony usually starts by the ahijado or ahijada privately stripping
himself/herself of the clothing warn that day and taking a despojo herbal bath
prepared by the Padrino or Madrina. Then the ahijado will dress in clean
white clothing and cover the head with a white head dress, cloth or cap. The
ahijado will then be presented to the altar and a sahumerio will be used to
cleanse the ahijado of any negative vibrations the bath did not pick up, this
sahumerio is a mixture of garlic skins, herbs and resins that burn on a
charcoal. Then he/she will offer bouquets of white carnations to the altar,
crossing him/herself with them, kissing them and placing them into the Vases
on the altar and light the white candle, as all the mediums chants prayers to
the Spirit Guides.
The Padrino or Madrina holding the ceremony will recite special prayers to
invite the various courts of Comisiones to come down, this is called an
Embajada. Usually the first presence or dominant presence is that of the
ahijado's Centinela, and usually takes possesions of one of the Mediums,
usually the Mediamidad de Mano Derecha, or speak to the Clairaudient or
show visions to the Clairvoyant.
The ahijado is seated directly in front of the altar while the Padrino or
Madrina or both sit on either side while the rest sit around the ahijado.

MISA DE DESARROLLO
During the Misa de Desarrollo the ahijado/a is in his/her apprentice stage and
is taught through careful observation how to properly conduct a Misa
Espiritual, reunion and a sesion. How one must behave and conduct
themselves during spiritual labor and what procedures must be taken to
ensure that only positive spirits are invoked while the Espiritus Atrasado are
left out, and the proper and correct prayers for any and all situations are
taught, and how to detect and lift causas. The appropriate way to
communicate with the Spirits, and how to get answers. The ahijado is also
taught the importance of both material and spiritual hygiene, and the
importance of performing an Amparo ritual before and after every spiritual
work and how to lift causas.
The ahijado assists the Padrino and Madrina in many Sesiones and Misas, and
plays a small but important role in the gatherings such as lighting candles and
filling the Fuentes with Fluidos, dressing altars, handing the Mediums Florida
Water and other spiritual waters and attending to the needs of an Espiritistas,
Presidente de Mesa or the Mediamidad de la Mano Derecha. When the
Padrino or Madrina are sure that the individual has grown in Facultades
Espirituales, the ahijado is ready for further ceremonies. In this stage of
development and apprenticeship the ahijado never becomes fully mounted or
possessed by a Spirit. Instead they are taught to listen to ones intuition and
inner voice, and act accordingly.

MISA DE RECOGIMIENTO
This Misa is a divination, cleansing and purification ceremony where the
Padrino or Madrina use an oracle to discover and decipher the ahijado
/ahijada's spiritual, and material problems, the causes and effects, and what
must be done to lift any negative vibrations and remove any Espiritus
Atrasados that accompany the ahijado / ahijada. The severity of the negative
vibrations and what must be done to remove it. Some Padrinos and Madrinas
with the help of other mediums including a clairaudient, a clairvoyant and a

Casilla "physical medium" who is usually always la mediamidad de mano

derecha can also perform a past life regression to see if bad karma from a past
life was brought into this life and how to lift and remove it, and to give the
initiated a clearer understanding of who he/she was in previous lives and how
or why the cadena espirituales (spiritual links) that bind him/her to past life
spirits. Various cleansing techniques are done during this Misa such as pases,
santiguos, despojos and sahumerios depending on the negative vibrations and
Causas. Some Causas vary from bad karma, to the individual being the
recipient of black magic, or the individual attracting Espiritus Atrasados; to
paying unpaid debts from past lives, to having a link with the spirit of a past
life partner or family member that is attached to the person in the present
state, and is the cause for the Causa.

MISA DE LA CORONACION
The Misa de la Coronacion is where the Centinela and the various spirits that
make up ones Cuadro Espiritual are symbolically placed on the Head. Each
individual has a different Cuadro Espiritual, most individuals have two or
more Spirits from the various courts of commissions, while others may have
various spirits from the same Commission. It is impossible to know all the
names of the spirits that make up an individuals Cuadro Espiritual, and as the
newly initiated is instructed; he / she will come to find out on their own while
growing in spiritual faculties as the spirits will, unravel themselves and as the
medium develops they will come in contact with other spirits and their names
through out their life will come to them. During the Coronacion, the ahijado/a
makes his/her first physical contact with the Centinela, during a ritual
mounting. After the Coronacion a Fiesta Espiritual is done, and family and
friends are invited to congratulate and celebrate the new Sansista, Santerista,
Espirita or Espiritista, depending on the religion or spiritual path. After the
Coronacion, the ahijado / ahijada can work his own spiritual tableau.

NOVENA / NOVENARIO DEL RECIN

FALLECIDO
I have been to many Novenas most for departed family members and loved

ones. It is a Hispanic tradition that Espiritismo and Catholicism share in

common. I personally have only lead one Novena, and at first it was very
nerve wracking, I thought I was gonna blank and forget the Credos, Our
Fathers or Ave Maria, but thankfully I pulled through. I know of a ten year
old Puerto Rican girl who is so gifted in Novenas, that she has been leading the
Novenas prayers since she was seven. I once spoke to an older Puerto Rican
neighbor of mine in her late 60s who performs 2 or 3 a month. She jokingly
told me that if she had gotten paid for all the Novenas she has lead in her life
she presently would be a wealthy woman. Novenas are done through what we
call, la obra de la caridad.
The Novenario del Recin Fallecido, or Novenas is a Rosary prayer ceremony
done one day after a burial and lasts for 9 consecutive evenings, usually begun
when the sun sets.
An altar is prepared and adorned with white candles and the funeral wreaths,
in some Sanse and Espiritismo traditions a Fuente Espiritual with a cross or
crucifix within the water is placed as the central piece, while others do not
place the crucifix within the fuente, and others do not include the fuente; and
the wall is adorned with a portrait or photos of the person who passed. We
recite the Rosary but also include prayers from Allan Kardec's books of
prayers.
It is a tradition for each person or family who brings a wreath to a funeral to
drop a single flower from the wreath on top of the casket and then bring the
wreath to the house where the Novenas is to be held. These wreaths adorn the
altar.
The Rosary is recited and the recently departed is invoked to the altar with
the prayers of the Rosary. Many of these spirits are confused and dazed from
the transition of life into death and the purpose for a novena is to lead them
into the light so that they do not remain trapped in the material plane, thus
becoming wondering spirits or worse, restless souls. The Novena is a spiritual
tool in helping the spirit except death and find spiritual elevation.

MISA DE ELEVACIN
This misa is done to help elevate earth bound spirits, tormented souls, lone
souls, the disembodied spirit, full bodied apparitions or the soul of a deceased
person that has passed and never been spiritually elevated or gone into the
light. Usually these spirits become angry, afraid, or confused and cause
uneasiness on the living they get in contact with or properties they attach
themselves to. The purpose for the Misa de Elevacin is to help them except

that they need to leave this plane of existence and enter into the next. Many of
these spirits can be very difficult, stubborn and quit frankly dangerous, if this
is the case, the Centinela, Cuadro Espiritual and Archangel or an Ascended
Spirit are invoked to help intercede.

El COLLAR DE LA PROTECCION

The Collar de la Protecion is given to the newly initiated medium during the
Coronacion in the form of a necklace or a bracelet that is placed on the left
wrist or around the neck It is cleansed, purified and blessed and placed on the
person as a charm of great protection and to ward of evil, and is always worn
and never removed with the exception of sexual activities and releasing the
body of bodily waists. If the charm breaks or is lost, this is a symbol that it
picked up on strong negative vibrations, danger, envy or the evil eye and must
be replaced by a new one. If found it is cleansed and purified before being
warn again. No one but the Padrino, Madrina and its owner is to touch it.
They are a protective symbol of ones Centinela, and are made out of hematite,
azabache stone, peony seads, gold or silver. A medallion such as an Indian
head, an Indian arrow head, a tooth, a congo spirit, mano de azabache, cruz de
caravaca, star of David, a pyramid, a cross or crucifix, or an amulet of a saint.
One two or three are placed on the Collar de Protecion to represent the
Centinela protection. A hematite bracelet can be plain round stones or depict
images of Saints.

The Colors represent

Black, the unseen, the unknown, but from darkness comes light.
Red, the blood of life, the essence of existence..
Silver, clarity, visions, insight.
Gold, spiritual faculties, light strength, endurance, durability.

Some also receive a Rosary and an Escapulario as a gift from a loved one
during the Coronacion. This Rosary is used during times of Novenas and
Misas, and the Escapulario represents ones Sanse Spirit, or Patron saint.
These items are also blessed, purified and cleansed by the Padrino, or
Madrina.

The tradition of giving a mano de azabache to a new born is widely popular in

Hispanic countries, for protection from evil, this is the same concept, to protect
the newly initiated from evil, envy and malice.

Lately allot of Espiritistas, Sansistas or Santerista who have been initiated into
Lukumi Santeria and 21 Division use and give blessed eleke collares to their
clients as a talisman for protection these are not traditional in Espiritismo but
are widely respected.

EL AREITO OR MISA DE CORDON

This literary is one of the most exhausting but spiritually uplifting and
powerful misa performed. In Puerto Rico this rite is performed solely for the
Commission of the Indians, the caciques and the Cemi Spirits. Traditionally
only performed by the ascendants of the Taino people, it is becoming popular
within Espiritismo and Sanse traditions. Traditionally the Taino celebrated
Spirit and life with a ceremony called the Areito.
In Espiritismo an Areito begins with the traditional prayers recited in Misas,
then everyone stands up in a circle and begin to slowly chant and dance

counter clockwise all the while stomping their feet upon the ground. The
women usually shake gourd rattles and the men hit two palo sticks. At first the
dance begins slow and becomes quicker as the music plays and chants are sung
and everyone involved enters into a trance like state, as the Great Cacique and
Cemi Spirits are invoked. Some include instrument players that play the
Mayohavau, the Guiro, and sea shell fluits.
The ceremony is always held outdoors, and the Fuente Espiritual is replaced
by a large gourd filled with river or rain water. Although descendants of
Puerto Rican tainos have always been performing private Areitos, and since
the 70s has become very popular amongst Puerto Rican Espiritista circles, in
Cuba an Espiritismo sect called Espiritismo de Cordn has always been
practiced. Also the word Areito is used in the Puerto Rican language to mean
Danzas Folkloricas everything pertaining to folk dance be it African or
indigenous is titled an Areito, or baile folklorico.

"A remar, a remar, a remar. A remar, a

remar, a remar. A remar, a remar, a remar.
Porque La Virgen nos va a rescatar."

"We are rowing, and paddling, and paddling.

We are rowing, and paddling, and paddling.
We are rowing, and paddling, and paddling.
Because the Virgin is going to rescue us!"

PRAYER TO DON DIEGO EL

DUENDE
Don Diego el Duende is an earth Spirit, brought to South
America and the Caribbean with the migration of Gypsies.
Don Diego el Duente is a troll like goblin earth spirit, that is a
like a muse to the Gypsies. When ever you see a Flamenco
dance fiercely or a Spanish Guitarist play amazingly that the
hairs on the back of your neck stand, it is because he is
present. Spanish gypsies sing a form of music called. Canto
Hondo, deep singing, similar to the Southern blues. They sing
in a mournful toan of their suffering and persecution. This
style of music is never written nor composed, it is improvised,
and it is then when the Gypsies say they sing with el Duende,

or dance with el Duende or play music with el Duende. To be

possessed by this earth elemental muse like spirit.

Powerful and Sage friend. Prince and King amongst Kings. Protector of Men
and Gypsies. Free me of the evil intentions my enemies may wish upon me.
Eyes they have, but shall not see me. Mouths they have, but shall not speak
against me. Ears they have, but they can not hear me. Hands they have but
can not touch me. Legs they have, but will not follow me. Intentions they may
have, but will not come to pass.
Oh Don Diego el Duende, with the power bestowed upon you by God.. Amen.

Que bienvenidas sean a m las cosas, como yo las deseo, Seor de la
Naturaleza.

The Commission of La Madama and el

Congo

Commission of
the Madamas and Congos

La Madama is one of the most loved and respected groups of Spirits of the
various courts or commissions in Caribbean Hispanic Espiritismo. Many
confuse La Madama, or "La Negra" as many Caribbean Hispanics call her as
being one spirit but this is not the case, the Madama are many. The Madamas
represent the Female Force, and wisdom within a family unit. Historically las
Madamas or Las Negras where the Mammys, the Mamei, Mama Mei or Mai,
the house slave servant who where responsible for the caring and well-being of
a masters family. They where the matriarch, the eldest and wisest of the
Masters slaves, and where loved and respected by the family
The Madamas where the healers and the midwives and where well knowledge
in midwifery. They had a vast knowledge of herbalism, and home remedies,
and as one today enters into a pharmacy to seek a remedy for what ails one.
The Madamas could enter any forest or wooded area and find the correct herb
for what it was needed for.

Las Madamas where also termed as Brujas by the Spaniards as they had a vast
knowledge in magic, it is a fact that the first quemaduras "witch burnings" in
the Americas happened in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The historic location is
in front of el Castillo de San Cristobal, today the location is marked by the
Lincoln School. In those days this area was called el Charco de las Brujas (the
Puddle of the Witches). African slaves who practiced their African magic and
sorcery and where accused of Witchcraft which in the Spanish point of view
was connected to the Devil where paraded through the old city walls and then
brought to el Charco de Brujas and tied to stakes and burned alive.

One important historical case which took place in 1608 was that of African
woman who proclaimed to have Mayorazgo "Spirit Guide" that resided
within their stomach. The eldest of the women became possessed by her
Mayorazgo Spirit and spoke in a man's voice. The spirit even said that his
name was Pedro Lorenzo, and that in Africa all Spirit Guides resided within
the stomach, abdomen. Miraculously these women lives where spared, and
ordered to be taken to the The Catedral de San Juan and immediately
exercised and properly baptized. Note if you look at most statues of a
Madamas you will notice that either one or both hands touches their waist or
abdomen.
Present day statues of La Madama are usually considered a Spiritual Vessel
and Espiritistas always cleanse, baptize and open the bottom of the statue and
fill her with an orange or red cloth bag with her mysteries.
La Madama has many sacred emblems, of those, a straw wooden broom which
is her tool for cleansing and purifying, a pack of La Baraja Espaola, Spanish
playing cards which she uses to tell fortunes, a knife which she uses for
protection and cutting herbs, and a bowl or basket which she uses to place
healing herbs and make healing brews. Each of the items represents one of the
four elements. Broom, air, cards earth, bowl water, knife, fire. A wooden
rosary is always places around the statutes neck. Tradition says that the
African slaves could not afford the expensive imported European beaded
rosaries of their masters so they made their own out of wood and rope.
African women where often fond of rosaries.
La Madama has been venerated in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and
Cuba since the days when these wise women took care of the children and
there wisdom has never been forgotten, so much so that they have been
sanctified within Espiritismo tradition. There was even a law in Puerto Rico
that declared that if a slave were left as guardian to his/her master's children
he/she became free.
I once spoke to a practitioner of Hoodoo who mistakenly called the Madamas
Sorceress and a conjure and root worker, or root doctors, this is far from the
truth. A sorceress in Spanish is an Hechizera or an enchantress who works
magic for personal gain, and power, something La Madamas are clearly not
about since all their labor on earth was for the greater good of their oppressor
and kinfolk, and it is known that in Africa root doctors where primarily men,
this tradition came along to Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic,
Brazil and Venezuela. The women where the healer women who worked with
herbs and the men worked the roots. The Congo Spirit is the typical root
worker conjure man.

There where African women who worked in black magic and roots, these
women in Caribbean Hispanic communities where called Las Congas. While
the Madamas had a motherly nature one thing is true about the Congas and
the Madamas, as viewed in Espiritismo tradition, they have a strong character
and are very opinionated and outspoken. One famous Conga is that of Negra
Fransisca there are two historical Negra Fransiscas one was Dominican the
other Venezuelan interestingly both where powerful Spiritists and well
knowledge Witches. The Dominican Francisca was married to Don Francisco
while the Venezuelean one was married to el Negro Felipe.
The Venezuelan Negra Francisca Maria Dolores lived in the 1800, her fame is
as respected as that of New Orleans Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau. Legend
says that La Negra Francisca Maria Dolores was an exotic mulatta beauty of
caramel skin with hazel eyes, her father was a Spaniard and her mother was a
freed slave. Her character has been described as sweet, loving, flirtatious, with
superior intelligence as a business woman.
She was well sought of from both blacks and whites as a Macumbera
practitioner of Macumba and because of her superior talents as a clairvoyance
and a medium. She was married to el Negro Felipe Rodriguez who has been
remembered as a womanizer and alcoholic. (His statues always depicts him
poring liquor from a jug to a cup.) Negro Felipe was also a powerful medium
and Macumbero, and is said to have been married to 9 Women, all named
Francisca.
Francisca Maria Dolores was believed to have been barren, a curse placed on
her by Felipe's other wives who where also all practitioners of Macumba and
envious of her power, fame and beauty.

As the legend goes Francisca through a dream was told that Felipe's other
wives had placed the barren curse upon her. The following day Francisca
prepared a powerful bilongo (black magic) to lift the curse and return it to her
enemies.

Shortly afterwards she became pregnant but miscarried after the death of
Felipe. Deeply saddened she went into seclusion until her death. She is buried
in the town of Ocumare de la Costa, and her tomb has been visited by
Espiritistas from all over the Caribbean and Venezuela, as the tomb is always
full of candles and offerings.

Little is known of the Francisca of the Dominican Republic with the exception
that she was a powerful Vodou priestess and was married young to Fransicisco
and they where inseparable until the day they died. Statues of the Dominican
Francisca is always accompanied by el Negro Francisco because in embajadas
(ceremonies where they are invoked to come down) she refuses to work
without her life long partner.

THE CONGOS

The Congos are the spirits of the witch doctors, paleros, juju man, root
workers. They are often of a strong character, demanding, and up front.
They never hold their tongues and love to smoke tobacco and drink hard
liquor. They are often invoked in lifting curses, and combating black magic.
Many are suspicious of none black people. In Africa they where kings, and
great shamans who where captured and became slaves. This is the reason of
their suspicion to none blacks.

LOS ESCLAVOS

The commission of the Esclavos are the spirits of the slaves both male and
female. They usually appear in embajadas and sances as very wise, soft
spoken and inquisitive. I have been working with a Esclavo by the name of
Otelio since the mid 1990s. He often comes to embajadas and sesiones, to lift
causas, and give words of wisdom. In life Otelio's face was branded, as was
tradition for slaves to get branded on their foreheads by their masters. He
tried to fight it and got the left side of his face branded. He became blind in
his left eye and speaks through the right side, rarely moving if ever the left side
of his face.
Some Escalvos fall under the Majordomo Court, or the Butlers. Other where
Marronage or Cimarrn, the spirits of runaway fugitive slaves who hid in the
mountain areas of Puerto Rico and lived amongst what was left of the Taino or
in caves. The unpaved roads and heavy jungles and rain forests insured their
safety and freedom.

Names of famous Madamas and las Negras. These are some of the names of
various Madamas that come down during Sesiones and Velaciones, there are
to many to name but these are the names of those that make frequent
appearances and help to guide. Understand that in present Hispanic
Caribbean cultures the word Negra is not an offensive or racists word. It is
used mostly as a term of such as honey or dear. Many Carribean Hispanic use
the word Mi Negrita, to mean my love.

INTRANQUIL SPIRITS

LOS ESPIRITUS INTRANQUILOS

Restless Spirits
To speak of a spiritual path that deals with evolving oneself and connecting
and communication with spirits of light, one also must speak of those spirits
that cause confusion, discord and are of a disruptive nature.
Being of Puerto Rican decent naturally most of my clients are Puerto Rican
and some suffer from what is labeled as "PRS" Puerto Rican syndrome. Yes
this is a real medical term, and is known to Puerto Ricans as Ataque de
Nervios. Many medical doctors and psychiatrist dealing with Puerto Rican
patients understand the importance of not just helping Puerto Ricans cope
with mental issues and disorders, but helping them find a spiritual way or
outlet in keeping PRS under control. Most Puerto Ricans like many people of
Hispanic decent do not completely believe or have faith in psychiatric methods,
so they search for a spiritual healer to help them in keeping under control el

Ataque de Nervios. Hispanics who come from rural pueblos understand that
in order to be well, one must keep in balance physical, mental and spiritual
health. When I have a client I try to understand if the problem is a problema
material or a problema espiritual. If the problem is of a material nature it is
my responsibility in instructing the person to make an appointment with a
medical physician, or counselor, if the problem is spiritual I do what I can in
helping the individual and if it is more than I can handle I help them find an
Espiritista, Brujo or Santero that is capable of helping the individual. If I can
help the individual, I try through spiritual consultation to determine the origin
of the problem. When I find the origin of the cause of el Ataque, which is not
as easy as it sounds, I prescribe ritual baths, despojos, prayers, and other
methods in lifting the causa.
Puerto Rican syndrome is a pseudo epilepsy or psychosomatic disorder known
in Spanish as Ataque de Nervios, which can cause the individual suffering
from it convulsions, foaming of the mouth, screaming, fainting, biting, kicking,
shaking in seizures and fainting. Many Puerto Ricans believe they know its
origins. This syndrome that comes on when a person is under great stress has
in some part to do with the belief and dealing with sorcery, curses, hexes, or
lower level demons, and tormented souls, brought upon the individual by
dabbling in black magic, or the recipient of a curse or witchcraft. It is
important to understand that not all Ataques have to do with sorcery or black
magic. Some have to do with a person suffering a susto (fright or soul loss)
while others also border between mental and spiritual, and it is my job in
helping them spiritually but also instructing them to seek psychiatric help in
order to balance both. And there are many when the problem is a mental
disorder and these individual need more help that we can not possibly give. As
a spiritual worker we must be responsible and careful in not making it worse
for the person.
The origins of los Ataque de Nervios has its origins both in Africa and of the
native Tainos. The Spanish would keep diaries or chronicles on how these
people suffered. Both the African women and Taino women would scream,
cry, pull their hair, shake in convulsions and foam in the mouth when they
where placed under great stress.
Many individuals who invoke lower level spirits and demons do so for personal
gain, controlling or causing harm whether it be in defeating an enemy or
causing harm on a rival, in matters of love, or for obtaining power. Alot of
people invoke these spirits with very little knowledge of what they are getting
themselves into and far less on what they are doing, what they are inviting into
their lives, what they are unleashing and who in actuality they are invoking,
with out understanding that there is always a high price to be paid when
working with this lower class of entities. Some also go to Nigromanticos,
priests of the dark arts, Brujos, and Hechizero Diableros shamans and pay
expensive prices for them to call on these entities, usually to cause harm or for

gain. It is widely known in Hispanic communities that Nigromantes

exclusively work with lower entities and lower demons because of how quick
results are given. The reason for the quick results is in part because of how
close they are to the realm of the living, and because of their greet hunger for
material offerings.
The Intranquil Spirits where almost virtually unheard of, unknown or
forgotten outside the Hispanic communities, unless one was initiated into these
traditions that dealt with them, or new personally of one who practiced these
arcane secret societies. It took the English translation of a popular Spanish
prayer book titled La Fe en la Oracion, used amongst the Hispanic occult
community to revive these spirits into the English speaking communities. One
of the prayers has been widely excepted by the English speaking communities
and can be found all over the Internet as a Prayer to the Intranquil Spirits in
love magic. Pink 7 day candles (the color of passion) can be found in
botanicas, ritual supply shops and Hispanic bodegas through out the United
States and are recently becoming a popular item in New Age shops and
catalogs.
But let me give the warning, these spirits should be avoided entirely.
Traditional Spanish invocations to the Intranquil Spirits are titled, Oraciones
a los 7 Espiritus Intranquiloslos Siete Demonios Capitales. This presumption
is wrong. The Seven Deadly Sins are Higher Demons, that rule over minions
of fallen angels and demons and they where not created into a human body,
although they can posses humans. The Intranquil Spirits once lived in the
material plane and are the tortured ghosts, apparitions, poltergeists of rapists,
murderers, serial killers, and demented individuals. They are the damned
trapped earth bound souls in an astral plane very close to the plane of material
existence.
Hechizeros and Nigromantes that work with the intranquil spirits, never do so
in their own homes. To do so is willingly inviting the Spirit to reside within the
home, or worse on the body. (Haunted House / Haunted Individual). These
Hechizeros and Nigromantes, always work outdoors in the dead of night,
usually in burial grounds or cemeteries and under the protection of a Guide, in
Hispanic traditions this guide is usually, in the Caribbean El Baron del
Cementerio, and in Mexico and South America under La Santa Muerte, or a
Catholic saint that they associate with the Baron. To work with these spirits
within the home is to surely invite the entity to reside within the home. Note in
Sanse we work with San Elias del Monte Carmelo and is one of the Seven Jefes
Divisiones of Misterios, Los 7 Jefes de Sanse, The Seven Chiefs of Sanse, La
Siete Division. He is invoked under El Baron del Cementerio to help protect
us from black magic and restless spirits. While San Miguel aids us in spiritual
combat. Every positive has a negative.
The first offering to the intranquil spirits usually consists of an offering made

at an entrance to a burial ground, this offering usually consists of coins,

tobacco and liquor. After they grant your desire these spirits will want more
and more, until they obtain an animal sacrifice. (Animal Sacrifice is not
performed in Sanse, Santerismo or Espiritismo, as blood is the most sacred of
substance and only God's to take.). If the person invoking the Intranquil
Spirits does not give them what they ask, they will eventually turn on the
practitioner.
It is important to understand that the intranquil spirits are usually attracted to
weak individuals, those who suffer some form of mental disorder and anguish.
Anyone who works with Higher Spirits such as the Saints, a Centinela, Spirit
Guide, Corte, Commission or Angel should not work with lower level entities.
In Spanish we call this, ensuciando tu Cuadro or ensuciando el Altar. Literally
means making ones altar dirty, or relieving oneself upon ones Spirit Guides.
When an individual does so, their Cuadro Espiritual becomes weakened as the
Spirit Guides abandon the individual, and it is hard to restore the
relationship. They are always present in your life, but they must step aside so
one reaps what they sow.
Also it is a Hispanic folk belief that when one works with an Intranquil Spirit,
one is literally selling their soul to the Devil. It is a common belief amongst
Hispanics that if one works with the Intranquil Spirit, one is making a deal to
switch places or swap positions with this spirit. For example, upon ones death
one become a restless soul, and the Intranquil Spirit comes back to life, usually
in the person who invoked them bloodline. This is where the saying "the sins
of the Father" falls into place.
Many individuals seak the Intranquil Spirits in love spells, this in itself is
foolish, the person may return, but will never truly love the individual, in most
cases they become obsessive and abusive, physically or mentally. Also when
working with the Intranquil Spirits one must be warned that this group of
spirits are very greedy and possessive of the person who invites them into their
lives. Also everything they give you is not permanent and quickly will be taken
away, causing the person to invoke them again, this becomes a dangerous and
often deadly cycle.
One can break the dangerous cycle, by reconnecting with God, and the Higher
Spirits of Light, but this is truly rare, since the individual has to find purity in
heart and practice pure Love, Faith, Hope and Charity. Which in reality and
borrowing from the text from the scriptures. "It would be easier for a camel
to pass through the eye of a needle.'
As humans we are not perfect, and we must and will make errors and commit
offenses along the way in order to learn. Do we really need the help of lower
level spirits?

I want you to grasp the five senses of (n.n.) and do not let him/her rest in
peace, that he/she should think only of seeing me, smelling me, hearing me,
tasting me, and touching me, that he/she should find himself/herself as

at my feet because nobody will help him/her.
That neither a divorced woman/man nor a married woman/man, a
widow/widower, nor a virgin woman/man, shall ever love him/her, but only me
and me alone.

be it.
Amen.

INVOCATION OF THE SEVEN INTRANQUIL

SPIRITS

Oh Seven Intranquil Spirits, you that in Hell reside and in the Kingdom of
Heaven you shall never set a foot.
I offer you these 21 candles and I ask that you seek what I ask of you.
No one calls upon you, I invoke you. Hear my words! Hear my words!
It is the witching hour and I stand naked giving you light. So that you may
have the faculties to give what I ask.
Spirit of Hate, I invoke thee.
Spirit of Desperation, I invoke thee.
Spirit of Discord, I invoke thee.
Spirit of Mysery, I invoke thee.
Spirit of Disruption, I invoke thee.
Spirit of Confusion, I invoke thee.
Spirit of Rage, I invoke you.

As I will it, So shall it be.

SPIRIT OF HATE

O Spirit of Rage, I call on you.
O Spirit of Anger, I call you.
O Spirit of Hate, hear my plea in this hour of disgrace.
I desire that you inspire within me eternal hate against those who offend me.

May they not see me coming, and may they disappear ever from my presence.
As I will it. So shall it be.

ANIMA SOLA JUAN MINERO

Juan the Conqueror, Juan of the Crossroads, and Juan the Miner. You that
dared enter the holy temple and steal of the sacraments. I ask you to enter the
heart of (n.n.) and steel his affection from my rivals.
Quiet the mouth of my rival, and have her lay down in defeat.
Do not allow the man I lost to sit in a chair, nor lay in a bed. Give him no
moments of rest, tranquility, nor harmony until at my feet he comes begging
for mercy.
Spirits of the Four Horsemen, Black Horse, White Horse, Brown Horse,
Auburn.
Spirit of Juan Minero, for the caverns you work and toil.
I ask that you to work, and toil and dominate the heart of (n.n.). This I ask
with much faith. So be it.
These invocations to the Intranquil Spirits are just but a few of the countless
Spanish invocations that exist, many also implore Demons and offerings of
animal sacrifice and tobacco, but I purposely excluded them as they really are
to blasphemous to even mention.

THE WITCH AND SAINT MICHAEL

There is an old Puerto Rican tale about a witch who lived in a rural area of
Puerto Rico. Everyone in her Pueblo knew that she was a witch who practiced
what was considered both white and black magic.
The old Witch was alone in the world, she had became a widow at a young age,
loosing her husband in a war and had lost all her children when they where
very young.
The folks of the small pueblo often spoke of how the poor old Witch was
known for her ataque de nervios because of all the sorrow and pain she had
gone through in life. Some would say she suffered these Atauque de nervios,
for dabbling in the black arts, and she was often heard wailing and crying
alone at night, with no one to console nor comfort her.
Although the Witch practiced magic, as is a custom in Hispanic countries, she
was also a devout Catholic and was very fond of Saint Michael.

Each Sunday the old witch would weight for the congregation to leave the old
church. Then she would quietly enter the church and kneel before a large
plaster statue of Saint Michael and pray.
When she was done, at the foot of the statue she would light two candles, one
red and one black.
This always puzzled the Padre of the church, but he never bothered her on her
weekly ritual.
One afternoon as the congregation left the church and the Padre was gathering
the psalm books from the pews, he saw the old woman performing her weekly
ritual at the foot of the large statue of San Miguel, and offerings of the red
candle and the black candle.
The Padre's curiosity was overwhelming, he approached the old woman, and
politely asked her the mystery and reason behind her always lighting both the
red candle and the black one.
" Seora, Con Permiso, may I ask why you light two candles to San Miguel?
One red and one black?"
At first this startled the old Witch, since everyone avoided her, and no one had
spoken to her in years.
"Bueno Padrecito". She said looking up at him. Then looking at the statue
and pointing at the figure of Saint Michael, sword in hand, and then at the
Diablo at his feet.
"In this life I have been good and I have been bad, I have done wright and I
have done wrong. I am up there in age and soon alone I shall pass. And I can
not predict where my soul will go. Will it go to Heaven or will it go to Hell?
So why not have a friend in both places.'

Animas Del Purgatorio

Legend tells the tale of how when men where crucified, women where in
charge of taking a pale of water and from a sponge attached to a long wooden
pole, they would soak it in water and would give the crucified victims water to
quench their thirst. On the evening of Good Friday when Jesus Christ was
crucified a woman by the name Maria Celestina Abdenago brought water to
the three upon the cross. She gave Dysmas and Gesmas water but for some
reason she feared the savior, and did not give him water to drink. When Maria
Celestina Abdenago died many years later she was sent to purgatory for
denying the savior water.

Another legend tells the tale of how Maria Celestina Abdenago was a sorceress
who practiced the black arts and when Jesus was carrying the heavy wooden
cross through the streets, as he passed her house she ran into the street, up to
him and spat in his face. Thus going to purgatory for her offense and insult
done to the savior.

A popular Mexican and Spanish Anima Sola is Juan Minero, or John the
Miner. For his sins on earth Juan Minero toils and labors hard in purgatory
mining coal to feed the flames of both Hell and purgatory. His sin, tradition
says that in a fit of rage he would enter into Holy Temples and shrines and
defile the altars, by blowing out candles and stealing lanterns and spilling holy
water on the ground.

The most popular image of an Anima Sola depicts a woman in a dungeon set
into flames as she looks up towards the heavens. Her chains are broken and
she looks at peace, as if the flames consuming her soul do not bother her. She
patiently awaits the saviors forgiveness of her sins, as her arms are stretched
upwards as if the savior has sent the Queen of Angels to set her free from her
torment. The infamous famous image of the Anima Sola is of Maria Celestina
Abdenago.
Many who don't know much of the Anima Sola assume that there is only one,
when in reality there are countless souls in the "Catholic' purgatory or lower
spiritual plane, cleansing there sinful souls before being forgiven and reaching
a higher spiritual plane.

The Anima Sola or Lonely Souls of Purgatory are not evil spirits, as their souls
are not damned in Hades or Hell, they are the souls of sinners who because of
their mortal sins cannot reach the Kingdom of Heaven until there souls have
been purified from their earthly wrong doings.
Many people in Latin American counties pray to the Anima Sola and they are
often invoked in love spells. On Mondays they are offered water, a white
candle to give them light and many offer them cigars, cigarettes and strong
liquor such as rum, whiskey or a can of beer. The Anima Sola are venerated
on el Dia de las Animas, November 2nd the day of All Souls Day, as special
Masses are done in honor of them. In Mexico this day is called, El Dia de los
Muertos, or Day of the Dead.

I personally do not work with the Anima Sola. From my personal belief, these
spirits should be respected and prayers should be said to them so that their
sins are forgiven and so that their souls become purified and they may be able
to move higher in the spiritual evolution chain. I have done Veladas for Anima
Sola, include them in prayers during Sesiones and light candles for them on
November 2nd, but I do not keep any Anima Sola paraphernalia on my altars,
its just a personal preference.

PRAYERS TO THE ANIMA SOLA

Hear ye O Mortals, the lament of an imprisoned soul, alone and abandoned in
an obscure dwelling. O Lone Soul, a soul of peace and of war. Soul of sea and
of land. I desire that all that
I have lost be returned.
O Souls, you who are alone and abandoned, I accompany you in your grief.
Pity upon you
I have, for I know of the grief and suffering you must endure within your
harsh and long imprisonment.
I offer you this prayer and glass of water because I desire to lessen your pain
and quench your thirst.

Sad Soul, Alone Soul, no one calls you, I call you. No one looks for you, but I
seek you out. No one loves you, but I adore you. No one remembers you, but I
keep you in my heart. I offer you this lit candle so that you may find your way
into the light.
In this moment I offer to you my meritorious labor, and all that I have
suffered, suffer and will suffer in this life, can never compare to yours.
I humbly pray that you finish paying for your mortal sins of the flesh so that
you may find the grace of God, and be lifted from your imprisonment,
With your grace you shall be my benefactor. Amen

ANIMA SOLA OF JUAN MINERO

Traditional Spanish prayers to Juan Minero have to do with casting a love
spell on an individual or performing black magic. I do not personally work
with this spirit, but I include it because of its popular use within Diableria,
Hechiserismo "sorcery" Brujeria Negra 'black magic' and Nigromante
Nigromantismo "necromancy" These prayers fall under the works of working
with the espiritus intranquilos, Intranquil or Restless Spirits, as they are
mentioned by traditional Spanish names. I will only be including one prayers
hear as the rest fall under the Intranquil Spirits.

DIABLERO, NIGROMANTE, NIGROMANTICO

BLACK MAGIC OF JUAN MINERO
In the Holy names of God, I invoke the spirits of Domination, the Intranquil
Restless Spirits, the Spirits of Despair. The Spirit of Juan (John) the
Conqueror, the Spirit of Juan of the crossroads, the spirit of Juan Minero, the
spirit of Juan of sorrows, and Juan of the dangerous road.
I invoke the spirits of the four winds,
I invoke the Soul of the Anima Sola, Juan Minero. I ask you to enter into the
heart of (n.n.). Oh Guardian Angel of (n.n.), step aside and do not intercede.
Let him/her be restless and not find peace until by my side he/she stands.
Oh soul of Juan Minero, place me in his/her heart, and in his/her thoughts.
Saint Ines of the lost forests, aid me in returning his/her affection. Return
him/her in body, mind and spirit. So be it

SANSE THE SEANCE.LA

REUNIN / SESSION ESPIRITUAL

SANSE THE SEANCE.

LA REUNIN / SESSION
ESPIRITUAL
o
o

El EMBAJADOR Male LA EMBAJADORA, Female: An assistant

medium who will recite the prayers during the seance and make sure
all runs smoothly and safeguards the Casilla while under possession.
El BANCO or LA CASILLA. The bench or vessel, a medium who will
transmit messages received from the spirits or become possessed by a
spirit to lift causas, and give spiritual advice and consultations.
Los Participantes, El Publico. Those who attend a Sance, "Sesion
Espiritual'. la reunin espiritista

The Reunin, or Sesion Espiritual "Sance" is at the heart of Puerto Rican

Espiritismo, Santerismo, Sanse, and the Brujeria traditions. It is where we
come to gather in a small group to speak and get information from our Seres,
Muertos, Centinela, Santos, Cuadro Espiritual and Commissions. The sance
is a private gathering similar to the larger public Misa Espirualeits, Fiesta
Espiritual, and Veladas.
A reunin or sesion is done under faith hope and charity, meaning no one gets

paid for this service, not even the Mediums conducting the sance, but it is
expected of all attending and participating in the event to collaborate with the
expenses in some form and bring the necessary ofrendas to the sance. The
oftendas are offerings to the spirits and include items such as cigars, florida
water, holy water, flowers, and incense to name a few.
In Puerto Rico a Sance is never practiced with less than three people, and no
more than nine. More than nine would fall under a misa espiritual or velada.
What I will be describing here is how I personally do a sance and how it is
practiced amongst the Puerto Rican community. From this point on I will be
using both the English word Sance and Spanish words Sesion, or Reunin as
they are often used interchangeably within the Hispanic community.
The preparation call for the table that will be used for the Reunion, it should
be cleaned and wiped down before la sesion, with florida water and holy water,
and the table is always covered with a white table cloth. A large glass fuente is
filled with cool holy water and placed on the center of the table surrounded by
white candles, usually three, or nine.
Another table is set aside which will be the tableau espiritual, an altar for the
Centinela or Guardian Saint and other protective spirits guides of the Cuadro
Espiritual pertaining to the person whose house the sesion is to be held. This
table becomes a shrine to the protective spirits and the items and ofrendas
used for the Sance are kept there such as food, rum, coffee, cigars, flowers, a
bell, florida water, a gourd instrument such as a maraca, and a black cloth. A
large fuente is also placed on the tableau espiritual, this one will have a
mixture of Holy Water, anil indigo water, Florida Water, Bay rum, Kolonia
1800, Colonia Patchouli, Locion Pompeya, and Agua de Sandalo. Within the
fuente a metal soup ladle is placed and around it enough fresh clean white face
cloths for all attendants. Packets of wooden matches and fresh cigars are also
placed around the altar. Behind the fuente two white seven day candles are lit.
The house where the sesion is to be held must be physically and spiritually
cleaned before the sance is to begin. Garbage is removed, dishes are washed
and the house must be neat and organized. The house should be fumigated
with frankincense sandalwood, and myrrh or with nag champa incense before
the sesion begins, and four clear glasses with ice water and camphor is placed
within the four corners of the house.
The actual table where the sesion is to be held was traditionally a round dinner
table, if it is imposable to have a round table, this does not matter as the
candles around the fuente will create the spiritul circle.
Before the sesion it is imperative for the Embajador and the Banco to refrain
from having any form of sexual activities that day, and that they fast for 6

hours prior to the Sanse. It is not that these things are bad for the Mediums,
but that it causes the mediums to become spiritually grounded and it also
creates a spiritual barrier or blockage. Food and sexual intercourse, grounds a
person, and in order to receive messages, the body should be as light and as
clean as humanly possible. Both the mediums prior to attending the Sance
must relieve their bodies of bodily waist, and cleanse themselves with a
spiritual bath, prayers and fumigation. The bath is done at home and prior to
the sanse, it consists of taking a hand full of fresh sage and mashing it into a
gallon of cool holy water. The water will take on a green tint, to this is added a
large bottle of florida water and it is carefully strained and placed into a large
glass bowl. A white cloth is placed over the bowl and it is placed on the
mediums altar as candles are lit and the medium says prayers to his Cuadro
Espiritual. This is left on the altar until the candles are consumed, usually
small tee lites. (NEVER LEAVE CANDLES UNATTENDED) The mediums
will take a bath with this spiritual wash by pouring it over the head in a
bathtub as prayers are recited. Half of the spiritual bath is saved to cleanse
oneself when returning home at the end of the night. This is an Amparo ritual
that must always be done prior to the Seance. During the seance, both the
Embajador and the Banco, should remove any belts jewelry, and shoes. If the
shoes are not removed then the laces must be untied.
The only thing kept on the table where the sesion is to be conducted is the
fuente espiritual with 3 or 9 white candles surrounding it, and Allen Kardec's
book on Selected Prayers, a few bottles of florida water and ash trays for the
cigars.
Everyone participating in the Seance are asked to arrive at a certain time and
always as the sun begins to set, usually around seven in the evening. They are
instructed not to be late and that good personal hygiene is observed by all
attendants.
At the entrance of the home a fuente is filled with a mixture of indigo, Rompe
zaraguey herb, florida water and holy water so that all who attend may bless
and protect themselves by making the sign of the cross when they arrive. Also
a ritual chalk made out of white egg shells is placed next to the bowl so
participants can draw protective crosses on their wrists and in the back of the
neck. On either side of the fuente is a lit seven day white candle.
During the sesion all participants must keep their legs uncrossed and their
arms should never be folded and during the actual sance both their hands
palms down are kept on the table at all times; unless they are flicking a cigar,
this is called la cadena espiritual. The Embajador should keep his/her head
covered by wearing a white head cloth or white bandana upon the head, this is
a protective measure so that he/she can control the Sance and not become
possessed. Although Higher Spirits can speak through the Embajador, and
the Embajador can pass messages from the spirits to the living, he must stay in

control of the reunin at all times. Spirits will often give messages to other
attendants, if they feel a strong message, they will politely wait until the Banco
is quiet. Many Spirits want to come through during a seance, and the
Embajador must insure complete control and order and that respect is
observed at all times. Benevolent spirits are not the only ones who will want to
attend but los espiritus intranquilos will try and come. If an evil entity is
present, or takes over the body of the banco, it is the Embajador responsibility
to remove it or command it to go to leave. If the spirit or entity refuses, the
black cloth is placed over the bancos head, as a prayer of protection and
banishment is said while wringing the altar bell. Also Spirits might not ever
posses the banco, they might let their presence be known, by wrapping noises
or moving objects.
The reason why it is important the Embajador should say the proper prayers
and invocations that will follow, is because it is the responsibility of the
Embajador to insure the safety of all present, that he calls on benevolent and
protective spirits,only, and to make sure an earth bound spirit or demon is not
invited into the sesion, or that negative spirits are not left loose to wonder this
plain of existence.
The Sance should commence one hour after the sun sets. Everyone
participating should wear clean light colored clothing and come with a
respectful attitude. All cell phones are turned off and all forms of distractions.
Once the reunin begins no one is permitted to leave or come in during the
sesion.
During the Sesion, the Centinela or one of the spirits from the commissions
might come down to consult of lift a causa. The spirit within the casilla often
stays seated but many times it will stand up and move around cleansing and
purifying. If this happens it is the Embajadors responsibility and job to ensure
the safety of the casilla. The Embajador stands behind the casilla and makes
sure the material and physical body of the possessed casilla is not harmed.
When the sesion begins all the candles are lit and electrical lights are turned
of, and everyone takes their seat. The Embajador begins to recites the prayers
from Allen Kardec^s prayer book, beggining with the prayer of the Medium,
at this time both the Embajador and the banco takes a ladel of the blessed
water from the fuente and pours it on the clean face cloth and cleans his aura.
Then the embajador begins to recite the opening prayer, and counter
clockwise one by one, the participants gets up, salutes the spirits of the tableau
altar and takes a ladle full of liquid from the fuente and cleanses themselves.
The embajador continues reading the opening prayer as each individual
salutes the altar and cleanses themselves and then again takes their seat.
Sometimes after the prayer and blessings, spiritual songs are sung as the
participants light cigars to entice the spirits to join the reunin. If songs are
not sung, then quiet espiritista music is played in the background.

When the sesion is over all the waters from the altars and the table are thrown
out the front door, Lights are turned on and all who attend enjoy a light meal,
and talk about the event or messages told during the sesion.
If the participants and mediums are up to it they can call friends over to dance
as a Fiesta Espiritual is underway and the spirits and commissions are invoked
to dance and trabajar las causas.

PRAYERS OF LA REUNIN / SESION

ESPIRITUAL.
"For where two or three are gathered together in
My Name,
there am I in the midst of them." Mathew, 18: 20
*** FOR THE MEDIUMS. ***
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith the Lord. I will pour out my
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And
on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those last days of
My Spirit, and they shall prophesy." Acts 2: 17/18
Almighty and Powerful God, allow the enlightened and benevolent spirits to
come and assist me in the communication that I seek. Protect me from being
enveloped by malevolent entities, and distance me from judging myself and
from the pride of egotistical thoughts that will deter me from the purpose of
your spiritual mission, which can cause conflict in my communication with
other spiritualists and towards other mediums. If I should fall into error,
inspire others to advise me of my mistakes and instill within me humbleness.

And If I for any reason should fall into the temptation of abusing the gift you
have bestowed upon me, I pray that you aid me in seeing the errors of my ways
before it deters me from the purpose of using this gift for greater good of
mankind and my spiritual progression.

*** PRAYER TO BEGIN THE SEANCE

GATHERING. OPENING PRAYER ***
We pray to the Almighty Lord to send us good spirits to assist us, to keep away
those who could induce us in error, and to give us the necessary light to
distinguish the truth from the impostors. Also keep away evil, incarnate or dis
incarnated spirits that could attempt to place discord among us and deviate us
from charity and love for our fellow man. If any attempt to introduce itself
here, prevent it from finding any access to anyone of us. Good Spirits, that
condescend to come here to instruct us, make us gentle to your advises and
deviate selfishness, pride, envy, and jealousy from us. Inspire in us indulgence,
and benevolence for our present and absent fellow men, friends, and foes. In
ending, make it that in our feelings of charity, humility, and abnegation, we
would feel in good spirits, and recognize your healthy influence.
To the Mediums who you will put in charge of transmitting your teachings to
us, give them knowledge of the holiness of the command that has been
entrusted upon them and the seriousness of the act they will accomplish, for
the purpose that they would have the necessary fervor and devotion. If there
are persons in this reunion that have been attracted by another feeling,
different to good, open their eyes to the light and may GOD forgive them if
they come with bad intentions. We particularly pray to the Spirits of (....), our
Spirit Guide to help us and watch for us.
We ask the Divine Spirit and all our spirit guides and guardian spirits that are
here tonight to watch over our work. We ask that only good benevolent spirits
be present and that our spirit companions protect us from harm and mischief
from any troubled spirits whom may be attached, attracted, or sent to this
place.

+++ PRAISES TO GOD +++

Lord with your Grace we invoke the Spirits of your Court, sweet emanation of
the Sublime, of all the great and all the infinite good, holy, and just. Elevated
Spirits by your virtues to such a high grade of perfection and joy, where the

Almighty's mission is directly received, so that the effects of his paternal love
reach us; messengers of the divine word; come closer to us by Charity, because
we are calling you with all the effusion of our souls, so that it vibrates in our
hearts with the echo's soft emotion to our entrapped spirit, and to our gross
senses, which are used to be dis according accents of our earthly lyres, and
cannot conceive the beauty of our harmonies. Let us glorify the Lord, whom
by his mercy, we are beginning to enjoy in his dwelling of exile from the light
of the truth, the hope of its love and the incomparable embrace of his paternal
love, say that we wish the gift of suffering our tests with patience, because his
infinite love has made us understand his great knowledge and our healthy
mission in this world. Thank you for such great benefits! Guide us with
Spirits sent from God, clear our souls, enlighten us with your knowledge from
the rugged path of our lives, may the torch of truth shine in him, so that our
souls would purify with your beneficial influences, and when our deserved
peregrination ends, you lead us as simple doves to the foot of the throne of the
King of Kings, to ask him for forgiveness for the faults and sing with you his
praises.

(Followed by the Our Father and Hail Mary.)

+++ TO THE GUARDIAN ANGELS

AND PROTECTING SPIRITS +++
Sensible and benevolent spirits, messengers of God, whose mission is to assist
men and lead them through the good path, support me in the tests of this life,
give me the strength to suffer them without muttering, deviate from me bad
thoughts and make me not have access to any of the bad spirits that attempt to
induce me to evil. Enlighten my conscience so that I can see my defeats, lead
away from me the eyes of the veil of pride, which could enable me to see them
and keep them to myself. You. Above all. My Guardian Angel, who watches
over me particularly, and you, protecting spirits who take interest in me, make

me worthy of your benevolence. You know my needs; make it then, for me to

receive the grace according to God's will.

+++ TO KEEP AWAY EVIL SPIRITS +++

Woe and Pity upon you Scribes and Pharisees, you who cleanses the outside of
your chalice and plate, but within you are full of after anger and filth.
Blind hypocrites, first cleanse the inside of the chalice and plate so that the
outside may become clean and pure. Pity upon you Scribes and Pharisees, you
hypocrites, you that act clean and seam beautiful upon the eyes of men from
the outside, but within you are full of putrefaction and filth. As such on the
outside you also show as just in the eyes of men, but within you are full of
hypocrisy and anxiety.
In the name of the omnipotent God, the All Powerful God, may the bad spirits
turn away from me and may the good spirits defend me from their influence.
Wicked Spirits, you who inspire confusion and bad thoughts within men.
Deceiving and lying Spirits, who delude men. Mocking Spirits, who amuse
yourself with mankind's incredulity. I repel you with all the strength within
my soul, and close my ears to your suggestions. I implore that God's mercy be
upon you.
Benevolent Spirits you who undertake the task of accompanying me in this life,
give me the necessary strength and enlightenment to resist the influence of
these malevolent spirits. Benevolent Spirits, Safeguard me from pride and
presumption. In the holy name of God.

PRAYER FOR CLOSING THE SANCE

We give thanks to the benevolent spirits who have come to communicate with
us. We implore them to help us put into practice the instructions they have
given and also that upon leaving this ambient, they may help us to feel
strengthened for the practice of goodness and love towards our fellow man.
We also desire that your teachings help all those Spirits who are suffering, are
ignorant or corrupt, who have participated in our mission and for whom we

implore God's mercy. Amen.

TOBACCOMANCY /
TOBACOMANCIA

TOBACOMANCIA + TOBACCOMANCY
'the natives brought fruit, wooden spears, and certain dried leaves which gave
off a distinct fragrance."
"We found a man in a canoe he had with him some dried leaves which are in
high value among them, for a quantity of it was brought to me at San

Salvador" Christopher Columbus' Journal

When Christopher Columbus first arrived in the Americans in 1492 the Taino
people gave to him and the Spanish Conquistadors, a great gift, the most
holiest of plants, and the most sacred of ritual objects, a messenger of the
Cemis (the Gods / Spirits) in the form of an herb called Tobaku. This sacred
messenger of the Gods was unknown to the rest of the world. Europe, Asia and
Africa did not know of its existence, and the closets counterpart to the rest of
the world came in the form of unsmokable resins and incense, which like
Tobaku, transmits ones thoughts, desires, wishes, and prayers to the heavens
in a cloud of smoke.

Tobaku like all great spirits, was and is a force to be respected, and never
abused, he like all Spirits will not tolerate disrespect; to dishonor and
disrespect this ancient spirit messenger, is to unleash his deathly vengeance.
Tobaku blessed all who venerated and respected him with magical and healing
abilities. But like all great spirits and things sacred to pre-Colombian America,
Tobaku has suffered centuries of misuse and insult in the form of commercial
tobacco.
The Taino used Tobaku in Prayer, offerings to the spirits, healing,
purification, leisure activities, welcoming friends, peace treaties, and it was
never abused and was always respected. Tobaku has grown weary of the
exploitation and disrespect done unto him and has retaliated, unleashing his
death grip and wrath on those who have abused this sacred spirit. Common

sense dictates that anything you do to your body in excess (a habit) is

detrimental.

TOBACCO USES IN HISPANIC FOLK MAGIC

TRADITIONS.
The tradition of using tobacco as a sacred ritual object survived the European
Conquest of the Americas. It is used, within Santeria, Vodou, Sanse,
Espiritismo, Obea, 21 Division, Santerismo, Umbanda, 3 Potencia
Venezuelana, Chamanismo, Curanderia, and Brujeria, to name a few; as an
offering and as a form of cleansing, and communicating with the Spirits in all
African, Indigenous, and Amerindian traditional religions. It is used for
smudging a body or ritual objects, blessing talismans, for ritual purification,
divination and cleansing, as well as an offering to some of the Saints, Orishas,
Commissions, Courts, and Lwases, and transmitting ones wishes and desires to
the heavens and realms of spirits.
I clearly have to state that allot of people do not like or enjoy the aroma of
tobacco, as well one has to take into deep consideration the health hazards that
come with smoking tobacco. Excessive use of this sacred herb has created
many health issues. If you do not smoke, don't start. Use incense such as
frankincense or copal, or use sage wands or sweet grass braids as a substitute.
But as with tobacco use these items in a well ventilated area.
If you are interested in divination, and do not smoke, don't start smoking, use
Tarot, playing cards, cowrie shells, coconuts, palmistry, or runes. I by no
means am promoting tobacco smoking or usage, what I am talking about hear
is giving an inside view on how tobacco is used in Caribbean and Latin
American folk magico religious systems and beliefs.
Tobacco should be respected and never abused. Because of the stigma that
tobacco has received after centuries of misuse and abuse. Tobacomancia or
Tobacomancy is rarely if ever mentioned outside the Spanish speaking and
Amerindian population.

TAINO PRAYER TO THE CEMIS

PRAYERS TO THE SPIRIT OF TOBACCO

To the Spirits of the Four Winds, Black horse, white horse, red horse, and
brown, you that find yourself in the four Corners of the Universe. Above and
below and in the Four Directions. I call to you oh Charitable Spirit of Tobacco,

Guardian Spirits of (n.n.). For wherever I go with this sacred smoke, you shall

tobacco, be beneficial towards me and my cause. May all malice and deceit

FOR INVOKING SPIRIT GUIDES

In behalf of the smoke of this sacred cigar. I do conjure and invoke the Seven
Divine Guardian Spirits of the Seven Heavens.
With this sacred smoke I summon the 3001 Rays of the Moon.
In the Divine names of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, I do invoke
thee.
May you bless me with your Divine Grace, Wisdom, and Power, and bring
forth that which I desire.
Oh Great Tobacco, messenger of God. I call upon your Divine Name, so that
you may intercede on my behalf and open the doors of the Spirit Realm, and
with the help of Saint Teresa de Jesus, lead towards me that spirit which will

aid me in my task. Amen.

IN FIGHTING OCCULT BATTLES

Puro, Purito, Puro! I do summon and conjure you. I invoke thee by the divine
virtues that you have, and by the divine virtues that God has bestowed upon
you. Spirit of the Tobacco, I ask that you penetrate the very soul of (n.n). So
that he/she may not rest in peace, drink in peace, eat in peace, walk in peace,
breath in peace, nor live in peace, until he/she recognizes the wrong he/she
done to me and resigns.
Spirits of the Lonely Souls of Purgatory, no one believes in you. I believe in
you. Spirits of the Lonely Souls of Purgatory, no one calls to you. I call to you.
Spirits of the Lonely Souls of Purgatory, no one offers you water to quench
your thirst, I offer you water to quench your thirst.

Paz, Paz, Cristo, Cristo, Dominus Nostrum.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

DOMINATING OCCULT ENEMIES

I offer the smoke of this sacred cigar to the charitable spirits of (n.n.). So that
they may intercede on my behalf and dominate the five senses of (n.n.)
I conjure and invoke thee, Oh Great Spirits of the Four Winds that come from
the Four Directions.
Wherever he/she may be, may he/she come humble and humiliated before my
feet. As the prostitute presented herself humbled and humiliated before the
feet of Christ, and as Christ presented himself humbled and tamed before
Pontius Pilot. And as Pontius Pilot presented himself humble and humiliated
at the feet of Christ.
So I demand you to do the same.
As Saint George slew the dragon, as Saint Martha, dominated the serpent, as
Saint Michael defeated the Beast. So do I; slay, dominate and defeat you.
By the Divine Power present before me, you are commanded to no longer
commit a treacherous act against me.

And if by chance you resist and continue to harass me, so shall you pay the
price for your offence.

GENERAL RULES WHEN PERFORMING

TOBACOMANCY
The client is the one who purchases the cigar. 3 must be brought, or a package
of cigars. One for the divination, the rest as offerings to the Diviner's, Spirit
Guides and ancestors.

When you are reading the tobacco to an individual, only you and the person
getting the reading should be present in the room. Consecration is the key to
success. Other influences in the room can deteriorate the success of the
reading. The cigar will pick up on the vibrations of others present.

Make sure all cell phones are off, loud noises, and any distraction that can
cause the Adivinador to loose concentration. All gadgets, phones, and
television must be turned of. Quiet music can be used.

When you give a consultation with a cigar, some say that they should not get it
done more than once a week. I disagree with this theory, once a month is the
more adequate and appropriate time between tobacco divination.

Never read more than one cigar per sitting, per client at a time. To do this will
detract from the predictions and omens foretold by the first cigar and will give
uncertain or false information.

A cigarette is never used, the cigar should be of pure quality, with out added
ingredients, this includes flavored cigars. No cigars with plastic mouth pieces.

When using a cigar for tobacomancy, never use a lighter. With your dominant
hand light it with three wooden matches at once.

Take 9 big puffs and proceed with the consultation,

After the reading the lit cigar is placed on the altar, the client asks the spirits
to lift any and all negative information told by the ashes.

The cigar is kept erect during the reading, pointing towards the heavens, and
the ashes are never flicked, let it fall naturally.

EL HUMO + THE SMOKE

The Smoke can be used as well with the ashes in interpreting the tobacco. One
needs a basic understanding of the symbolic of patterns. But I will include a
few major important ones.
Circles caused by the smoke, symbolize a ring of protection,
A figure 8 caused by the smoke, symbolizes something that will last a long
time, it could be a chronic disorder, or a long love life, this all depends on the
pattern of the ashes.
If the cigar throws little smoke, the person has a hidden agenda. Enemies will
prevail.
If the smoke is thin, hardships, or weak personality, frailty.
If the smoke is heavy and smooth, the person has a strong character.
If the smoke goes to the right and does not go to its left, you will prevail over
obstacles and adversary.
If the smoke goes to its left and does not go to its right, your adversary will
prevail over you.
If the smoke clefts or separates in two columns Disagreements, arguments and
fights.
If the right hand side of the smoke is thicker the client is at fault. Or a male
influence.
If the left cleft is thicker, the outside influence is at fault. Or a female
influence.
If the cleft smoke is equal in length, equal parties are at fault.
If the smoke) is fragmented: there will be financial loss.
If the smoke abruptly stops short then increases. Malice, evil eye, the client is
under psychic attack or under the influence of black magic.
If the smoke intertwine in a tight weave, close nit, friendship, family and
relationships.
If the smoke is intertwined in a tight weave then clusters, success: protection,
unity, and profit.

If the smoke goes in four different directions, great confusion and doubts.
Letters or numbers created in the smoke, letters can be the first letter in the
name of an enemy. Numbers represents time frames.

COMMISSION OF THE INDIANS, COMMISSION OF THE TAINO, I

CALL YOU TO WORK.

COMMISSION OF THE CARIB, COMMISSION OF THE ARAWAK,

COMMISSION OF CIBONEY, COME WORK YOUR SPIRITUAL LABOR.
IN THE NAMES OF THE GREAT SPIRITS, COME AND BLESS ME.

Before the Spanish set foot on the islands of the Caribbean, the indigenous
people of Boriken (Land of the Mighty and Valiant Lords) later renamed
Puerto Rico, and the Lesser and Greater Antilles, was the home to the peaceful
Taino, and the Arawak, the warrior like Caribs, and a smaller group of cave
dwellers known as the Ciboney. This race of people had a strong spiritual and
religious foundation with many mystical beliefs. The Gods, where spirits of
nature known as Zemis, or Cemis, with one head Cacique (chief) God named
Yucahu and his mother Atabey or Attabeira . Other Cemis where nature
spirits, great cacique chiefs and heroes who ascended into Cemis statues
because of their valiant deeds. (Similar to Catholic saints). The mythology of
the Taino was as vibrant and colorful, as those of Roman and Greek
mythology. The tales of the Cemis, courageous Caciques, valiant heroes and
ancestors were told in a feast known as an Arieto, and during nightly
gatherings. The Cemis powers manifested on earth in stones, clay and wood,
and all Cemis lived in mountains, plants, rocks, caves, rivers and forests.

THE COURT OF THE CEMIS

(ZEMIS)

La Corte De Los Cemis

Yucahu or Yocahu, the Great Sky Father was the Cemi of the cassava root and
creator of the Seas, who ruled over the skies and heavens.

Yaya, the essence, the soul of Yucahu, in his earthly personification

Atabey Attabeira, The Great Earth Mother a fertility goddess who used her
breast milk called Bibi, to make women fertile, she was the Cemi of fresh
waters that came from her Boh Boh "nipples". (The Puerto Rican words for a
babies bottle is a bibi, and a pacifier is a boh boh)
Itiba Tahuvava, wife of Yucahu, mother of the two sets of twins, From her
came the man-bat who brought the season of dry weather and drought and
woman-frog, who brought the season of rain.
Baibrama, The Resurrector a healing Cemi, who was worshiped for his
healing abilities and of good and fertile crops
Bayamanaco the Cemi of Fire.
Goiz: Cemi of the Breath of life.
Boinaye, One of the sacred twins, The Opposing Forces, was the Cemi of Rain
and earthquakes.
Caguana, was the female Cemi who gave birth to the first humans.

Savacu, Cemi of the rays of the sun and moon, a messenger.

Mrohu, Sacred twin The Opposing Forces. was the Cemi of calm weather.
Guabancex Juracn The Hurricane Bringer was a female Cemi of winds and
storms.
Guataub, messenger of Guabancex was the Cemi who foretold of the coming
of hurricanes, Cemi of thunder and lightning.
Coatrisquie, the Cemi of waterfalls also created floods she also created
torrential downpour.
Maketaori Guayaba, Lord of the Dead was the Cemi of the land of Coaybay.
(Realm of the Dead)
Hupia Hamno, was the Cemi of the nightfall and the Moon, her children
where the dead ghosts called the Hupia after her, who haunted the night.
These spirits could not enter Coaybay for rest, the realm of the dead, and were
stuck in this realm, similar to Ghosts.
Huin was a Turtle God who shown in the heavens. The sun
Moroyo was the Cemi of the rainfall.
Ceiba, a Tree Spirit was the Cemi of the sacred tree, portal to the realm of the
ancestors.
Yuquiyu was the Cemi of the mountains and rainforest (el Luquillo rainforest)
Opiyelguabirn', Night Dog a Cemi that took the appearance of a dog,
watched over the dead.
Deminn Caracaracol was the Great ancestor, the father and heroe of the
Taino nation who became a Cemi.
Macocael a bird reptile Cemi of Caves where the first humans came from.
The paraphernalia of the Cemis, which where clay vessels, mortars, and
statues carved on stone, wood, and sea shells where believed to manifest the
powers of the CemisCemis or Zemis. One of the most popular Cemis
paraphernalia was the Cemi Stone. The Cem stone, with its three cardinal
points, is a fundamental symbol in the Taino religion. The names of the three
points are Yocahu, Hupia and Goiz.

1. On top of this sacred mountain peak, in the turey (sky) of the four
directions, resides the Bohio 'hut" of Yocahu the Creator, whose name means
that which has neither beginning nor end and which has no male ancestor or
creator.
2. Coabey, is the underworld, the place of the dead. Here resides Hupia, the
spirit of the dead. The face of Guayaba, the Chief of Coabey, is represented
here.
3. The land of the living. Here resides Goiz, the spirit of living people

The Taino where a peaceful people, led by a Cacique chief who could be both
male or female. The Bohiques where the priests who interacted directly with
the Cemis in ceremonies or while in trance and the Bohuti, Buhuithu, or
Buhuitihu were the shaman, witch doctors, and healers, who could speak with
the Opia, the spirits of ones Dead, the Jukiyu-jan, the Ancestors and appease
the Hupia ( evil spirits) With "tobacu" smoke, and gourd rattles known as
Guiro, they could appease or keep at bay the Mabuya, the demons of nature,
or banish the Cuqoh, (el Cuko) an incubus spirit that took the life of young
children at night. The Taino had a belief that the souls of evil spirits roamed
the night. This belief still exists on the island as every Puerto Rican knows
about the "Cucoh" Cuko and the "Gwitona" Gritona (Llorona) female
screaming spirit that haunts the island at night seeking to torment an
unsespecting victim.

Before the Buhuithu could mediate the will of the Cemis, spirits, souls or
ancestors, they had to first relieve themselves of bodily waists and induce
vomiting so that their bodies could not be grounded. Usually the Buhuithu
fasted for many hours and did not consume food until their Spiritual labor was
done.

The Bohiques in keeping with oral tradition of a mythology of how the son of
Yaya by the name of Yayael tried to kill him so he could reign supreme over
the other Cemis, and was killwd in battle. Yaya feeling great remorse for being
responsible for the loss of his son, kept Yayael's bones in a gourd with symbols
of the Cemis. From this gourd, the ocean and fish where created. The
Buhuitihu on his batey kept a gourd filled with bones of an ancestor, roots,
tree barks and stones which where sacred to the Cemis. The Cemis where also
carved into wooden figures or sacred stones, as it was believed that the Cemis
manifested their powers within them. These carved stones and wooden figures
of the Cemis were kept in the bohios ontop of a batey by the Bohiques and
Buhuitihu. These where the ancient altars, that are still very influential in
Brujeria altars thoughout the Americas. This influence can still be seen today
in Puerto Rico.
While many Santeros in Puerto Rico are those individuals who are initiated
into the priestly order of Cuban Lukumi Santeria. It is important to
understand that a Santero can also be considered an artist who carves figures
of Saints into wood, a tradition of the Taino that still survives till this day. If
you ever visit Puerto Rico, purchase one as it will make a powerful addition to
your altar.
There where four class groups in a Taino clan, the Cacique or Cacica was the
head chief, followed by the Bohique (priests) the Buhuithu, (Shamans) the

Nitaino, the defenders and warriors of the clan, and lastly the Naboria, which
were the common folk.
The Taino were a very clean race, cleansing, bathing and purifying their
bodies twice a day, when the Spanish came, they forbid the captured Indians
to bathe frequently, at the time the European people believed that bathing
frequently meant loosing a piece of ones soul, in the process cutting in half
one's life span.
While many Taino men where killed, mostly by foreign diseases or in battle,
the women that survived where taken as wives, these women gave birth to the
first Meztisos. While the Spanish men took care of searching for gold, trying to
find the mythical fountain of youth, or in battle with native and surrounding
tribes, the Taino wives who were baptized into Christianity did not completely
forget or abandon their traditions and beliefs. Similar to the African slaves
they hid their ancient Cemis in the disguise of Catholic saints. In time the
ancient Cemis names where forgotten, but the many of the characteristics of
these Cemis remained in the Catholic saints.

The language of the Taino into English words.

Although Caribbean people use many Taino words in their Creolle dialects
many Taino words are used in english as well, Hurricane, barbeque,
hammock, potato, tobacco, iguana. and canoe all are of Taino origin. Also
Americans favorite past time, baseball came from the Taino, its a wonder why
many great baseball players are from the Caribbean. Words such as Batu, the
game itself, the batey, ceremonial ground where game was played and the
Bateh, the club used to hit the ball.

our daily nourishment. Keep away bad spirits. Keep away Ghosts. But bring

DIA DE LA RAZA

While many states follow the day of Christopher Columbus, every Latin
American country celebrates, El Dia De La Raza, or Day of the Race. This day
falls on October 12th. Recently many Espiritistas and Brujos hold this holiday
as sacred and hold a public Fiesta Espiritual in honor of the Indian Spirits.
Traditional Taino food is served such as Yuca with Codfish and Casava bread.

Music is played and the Indians are invoked to come down and dance and lift
Causas.
A few years ago to celebrate el Dia de La Raza, I brought two friends, a
Colombian and a Venezuelan to two Taino ceremonial grounds on the island,
the larger Tibes Ceremonial Park in Ponce, Puerto Rico and Caguana
Ceremonial Park in Utuado, Puerto Rico. Although the Tibes was much larger
with many Batey, a collection of live turtles, and many stones etched with
Taino and Cemis symbols. The thing I loved about the smaller Caguana
Ceremonial Grounds was the Tres Picachos hills, believed by the Taino to be
the point where God created life on the planet. If you meditate at the vista on
Tres Picachos, you will see the resemblance of the sacred Cemis stone.

or bathroom cabinets. Traditionally these items where used as colognes,
rubbing alcohols, or for bathing. Today many Spiritual Workers and Brujos
use these items to make spiritual baths, house cleansing, or washes, and to
remove negative vibrations from the home. All these items can be found in
Caribbean Latino Bodegas, (food markets) Botanicas and online. Recently I
have found them in Grocery stores in the Hispanic section. A true Brujo never
purchases premade baths or oils, we make them ourselves. None of these items
are made for internal intake or consumption.
