It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇
For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. The deities worshipped in the #Lukumí religion of #Cuba are called #orishas, just like their African counterparts.
The #Orisha Obatalá was tasked with the creation of humans but he got drunk on palm wine and his creations turned out accordingly. Therefore, anyone born with any birth defect is considered protected by the orisha & a child of Obatalá. -

From the zettel vault:
There are three categories of spirits humans encounter:
1. The personal (given at birth)
2. God's interceding "Holy" Spirit (gifted through grace)
3. The spirits of other beings, living or dead (called upon or rejected)When examining our impulses, as in the practice of Ignatian spirit discernment, it's important to recognize which we are responding to and engaging with. Each one legit.
