Blog and Ile Inspiration
It’s when the earth shakes
And foundations crumble
That our light is called
To rise up.
It’s when everything falls away
And shakes us to the core
And awakens all
Of our hidden ghosts
That we dig deeper to find
Once inaccessible strength.
It’s in times when division is fierce
That we must reach for each other
And hold each other much
Much tighter.
Do not fall away now.
This is the time to rise.
Your light is being summoned.
Your integrity is being tested
That it may stand more tall.
When everything collapses
We must find within us
That which is indomitable.
Rise, and find the strength in your heart.
Rise, and find the strength in each other
Burn through your devastation,
Make it your fuel.
Bring forth your light.
Now is not the time
To be afraid of the dark.
Enjoy today family.

October 2024 Ile Ire Aye Revocation-SEE ABOVE PICTURES FOR EXAMPLES ( posted October 20, 2024)
Alafia everyone Madrina/Iya Elemi would like the community to participate in a collective revocation. Please complete over the next week - before Friday. This is a work for everyone in the community. This revocation is to make a breakthrough, destroy any problems and open things up while bringing clarity.
Revocation Instructions:
Ingredients :
- 3 White Penny candles
- Clear glass
⁃ white plate
⁃ glass with a flat top
⁃ Cool water
⁃ White vinegar
⁃ White salt
⁃ Cayenne and/or black pepper
⁃ Open set of scissors or knife on top of glass
- Optional: Add relevant items your Ashe suggests - limes, basil, bluing etc.
- Try to keep the time of day similar if possible.
- *** Complete this my November 1st - Peace Protection Breakthrough Movement Community Growth and pray your personal and community wellbeing prayer.🙏
Location of revocation is preferably behind the front door - to be done after the door is shut for the night (ie no one entering or leaving until morning time)
1. Roll each candle in pepper; set aside
2. Fill glass with water, vinegar, salt
3. Take plate and place it on top of glass with ingredients.
4. Flip plate and cup together (sealing the water upside down)
5. Place scissors/ Knife on top of glass or on the plate open with the points towards the door
6. Light candle on top of clear cup/glass
7. Say prayers of protection/ defense
8. Let candle burn out - repeat for three nights in a row preferably around the same time each evening. You do not have to make a new cup of water and ingredients every night- work with the same one ... just be careful to put aside during the day so it doesn't spill onto the floor or lose the water
9. After the third night, dispose of water down the toilet or sink.
See the example pictures.
Please always remember fire safety!
May blessings.
