This weekend, preferably on Saturday, I plan
to do an ancestral feast. I invite you all
to join me! This ancestral feast will be
followed by a service for Baron the following
Saturday.
We will be discussing this work on my forum
found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Mambo_Racines_Vodou_Forum
The instructions for building an altar and
performing an ancestral feast are on The
VODOU Page on Vodou Lesson 4:

Let's get ready - find yourself a nice
piece of white cloth and a vessel for
water, and start thinking about what food
items you are going to offer. Serve your
ancestors food you know they liked, if you
have an idea. Also black coffee with sugar,
and black coffee without sugar, popcorn or
roast corn, bread, especially flat cassava
bread, fruit cola, salt mackerel (NOT
the white salt cod called "bacalao" in
Spanish, the brown strong-smelling
salt mackerel) and of course lots and
lots of PEPPER! You can go to any supermarket
and get "habaneros" in the produce section.
Ready set go!
Peace and love,
Mambo Racine
