saints

[Guest guest]

I was reading The Magical Power of the Saints evocation and candle

rituals by Reverend Ray T. Malbrough. St Clare of Assisi is the

patroness of television. Thats pretty funny. A saint for the TV. Oh

st. Clare my TV broke down...boo hoo hoo! I guess the best place to

put her is on the television! Hey' waite a minute! Thats not fair!

Pagans dont have a deity of television.

 

Heres something else straight from the same book

 

Our Lady of Prompt Succor

Petition in epidemics, sickness, for special requests, to bring about

quick change, help for the poor and needy.

 

Patroness of the State of Louisiana. Oh cool I have my own saint now!

Oh my middle name is Theresa. Theresa of Lisieux and Oya is

sycranized with her. Why? Cause 1) she's beautyful, 2) the flowers

that are around her, 3) the colors she is wearing. Oya like saint

Theresa can give you protection from black magick sent by your

enemies. The saints walked the earth and some were to replace the old

pagan goddesses and gods. So I would not call them elementals. I

would not call them Orishas but they have the same concept in some

ways with them. But when the slaves could not practice their religion

they sycranized their deities with Jesus Christ and the saints. The

meaning of Santaria is Saint worship. Santaria has many Catholic

overtones. Some of them love Jesus as well as the Orishas and respect

and honor the Catholic Saints and holidays as well. It would seem to

many practioners that Santaria and Catholicism walks hand in hand

except that women can be priestesses but can not reach the same

heights as a man. Though I hear its being chalanged, how much, well I

wish I knew. I hope one day there can be equality in every religion

for women.
