Lou invites participants to a workshop on December 16, 2024, focusing on Egbe, our spiritual family in Ifa spirituality. The two-hour session offers insights into maintaining connections with Egbe, guided meditation, and practical tips for daily practice. It’s designed for anyone curious about Ifa or seeking deeper spiritual ties.
Hey, Y’all! Lou here! Yeye is an Ifa Priestess, and she is wanting to share her traditions with you. We are announcing another in-person workshop geared towards people wanting to learn more about Ifa, different spiritual traditions, and how ancestor work throughout the world plays a big part in helping us ground.
As the year winds down and we reflect on the journey we’ve traveled, there’s no better time to deepen our connection with the unseen forces that guide and support us. For those of us exploring spiritual traditions like Ifa, understanding Egbe—our spiritual family—can bring profound clarity, balance, and a sense of belonging.
Egbe is a concept rooted in Yoruba spirituality, representing the spiritual companions who walk with us, influencing our lives in both seen and unseen ways. They are said to be a part of our spiritual lineage, guiding and supporting us on our earthly journey. But like any relationship, maintaining a connection with Egbe requires intention, respect, and care.
Many people feel the pull of Egbe without realizing it: the inexplicable sense of homesickness, a longing for community, or dreams filled with messages we can’t quite decode. Reconnecting with Egbe can provide answers to these feelings, helping us navigate life with greater alignment and purpose.
That’s why I’m excited to invite you to my upcoming workshop, “Understanding Egbe in Ifa Spirituality,” happening on December 16, 2024. This two-hour session is designed for anyone curious about Egbe, whether you’re new to Ifa or looking to deepen your spiritual practice.
Here’s what you can expect: ✨ Insight into Egbe: Learn how your spiritual family influences your journey and how to recognize their presence in your life. ✨ Guided Meditation: Experience a powerful exercise to connect with your Egbe and receive their guidance. ✨ Practical Tips: Discover simple ways to honor and nurture your relationship with Egbe in daily life.
This workshop offers a supportive space to explore, ask questions, and take steps toward a deeper spiritual connection. Whether you’re feeling disconnected or just curious about Ifa practices, this is your opportunity to gain insight and create meaningful spiritual ties.
Spaces are limited, so I encourage you to sign up soon. Let’s close out the year by stepping into alignment with our spiritual family and creating a foundation of connection and support for the year ahead.

Lou discusses the significance of blessed candles in spiritual practices, emphasizing their role in manifestation. Guidelines include clearly defining intentions, creating a sacred space, timing the ritual according to lunar phases, lighting the candle purposefully, engaging in active rituals, and reflecting on outcomes. Respectful disposal of remnants is also advised.
Hey y’all! Lou here! As Yeye is about to have a candle blessing workshop coming up (details below) I thought it may be good to know what you do with a candle that has been blessed.
Blessing a candle is a powerful practice, infusing it with your energy and intentions for spellwork or manifestation. Once your candle is prepared, you’ve crafted a sacred tool ready to work in harmony with manifesting your needs and desires. But what happens next? Here’s a guide to using your blessed candle effectively and with intention.
1. Define Your Purpose Clearly
Before lighting your candle, revisit the intention you set during the blessing process. What do you want to achieve? Whether your goal is attracting love, increasing abundance, or banishing negativity, clarity is key. Keep your purpose in mind to focus the candle’s energy.
Pro Tip: Write your intention on a piece of paper and place it beneath the candle to anchor your energy.
2. Create a Sacred Space
Lighting your candle should be treated as a ritual, not a casual act. Designate a quiet, clean area where you can focus without distractions. You might choose to set up an altar with tools such as crystals, incense, or tarot cards to enhance the energy of your space.
Suggested Items for Your Space:
Crystals (e.g., rose quartz for love, pyrite for prosperity)
An offering bowl or dish for herbs, coins, or flowers
A fire-safe container to hold ashes, if incorporating burning paper or herbs
3. Time Your Candle Use
Timing can amplify your candle’s power. Align your ritual with phases of the moon or specific days of the week:
New Moon: Manifest new beginnings.
Full Moon: Enhance energy or bring closure.
Days of the Week: Each day corresponds to specific energies (e.g., Friday for love, Thursday for abundance).
4. Light with Intention
When you’re ready, light your candle with focus. Take a few deep breaths and envision your intention vividly. As the flame burns, imagine it sending your energy and desires into the universe. Speak an affirmation aloud to seal your intention, such as:
“As this flame burns, so does my intention grow. I trust the universe to align with my highest good.”
5. Engage in Active Rituals
Depending on your goal, you can enhance your candle magic with these rituals:
Visualization: Close your eyes and see your desire coming to life.
Chanting or Prayer: Repeat affirmations or chants to magnify your focus.
Burning Symbols: Safely burn a piece of paper with what you want to release or call in, using the candle flame.
6. Let the Candle Burn Safely
Allow the candle to burn out completely if possible (safely and under supervision), as this signifies the release of your intention. If you need to extinguish it, avoid blowing it out; instead, snuff it with a candle snuffer or your fingers to preserve the energy.
7. Dispose or Repurpose with Care
Once the candle has burned down, you may choose to bury the remnants as a way of releasing your intention to the earth. Alternatively, if the candle still has wax remaining, repurpose it for similar rituals. Always handle remnants respectfully, as they carry the energy of your work.
8. Reflect and Stay Open
After using your candle, keep a journal to track any signs, synchronicities, or changes in your life. Trust that the energy you’ve set into motion will align with the universe’s timing.
Circling back
Your blessed candle is a beacon of your intention, connecting your desires to the universe. By using it with focus, respect, and gratitude, you create a powerful tool to support your spiritual practice. Remember, the magic is as much in you as it is in the candle itself. Stay open to the possibilities—and watch your intentions unfold.

Lou shares their journey of manifestation, highlighting its shift from a mysterious concept to a practical personal development tool. They recommend various influential books on the Law of Attraction and manifesting desires. Lou’s personal experiences illustrate the power of intention, culminating in successfully manifesting both a cheeseburger and $20,000, reinforcing the importance of focusing thoughts and emotions.
Howdy, y’all! Lou here. I believe in focusing attention, energy, thoughts, what have you to help bring about change in my life. I sometimes forget and then don’t believe in it and then remember again and try it and it works again! Like physical exercise. I’m a little lazy sometimes with things that are good for me. Or maybe I’m just not meant to be perfect. But I can’t forget the magic of manifesting myself a cheeseburger (and $20,000.) More on that in a minute.
In recent years, manifestation has moved from a mysterious concept to a popular and practical tool for personal development. Manifestation, often linked with the Law of Attraction, is the idea that we can attract what we want into our lives by focusing on positivity, clarity, and intention. For those looking to embark on this transformative journey, I’ve compiled a list of essential books that can guide you in using manifestation techniques to bring your dreams to life.
Here are a few books to help you get on your journey. Some I have read, some have just been recommended.
1. The Secret by Rhonda Byrne
Why Read It? Considered one of the most influential books on the Law of Attraction, The Secret introduces readers to the basics of manifestation by sharing stories, techniques, and insights from a variety of spiritual and thought leaders. Byrne’s work emphasizes that by focusing on positive thoughts and a clear vision of your desires, you can attract what you want into your life.
Key Takeaway: The mind is a powerful tool that can be used to attract abundance, health, love, and happiness.
Lou’s Takeaway: After watching The Secret, and then reading it, I manifested myself a cheeseburger. I’ll leave that story to the end.
2. Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks
Why Read It? Esther Hicks, channeling the spiritual entity Abraham, delivers practical guidance on how to manifest through aligning with your inner self. This book delves deeply into the emotional aspect of attraction, encouraging readers to focus on what feels good to guide them toward their desires.
Key Takeaway: Emotions are your guide, and by following what brings you joy, you’re naturally drawing closer to what you want.
Lou’s Takeaway: I have watched a lot of Esther & Jerry Hicks videos on YouTube over the years, and I really enjoy the message they give. I never know what is legit or not, but I don’t care in this case – the message is loving and kind, and gets me in the mood to do some manifesting. And I hope there are spiritual beings in the universe that really want to help us!
3. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Why Read It? While not strictly about manifestation, The Power of Now teaches readers to focus on the present moment, a practice that is crucial for anyone wanting to align their thoughts and intentions. Eckhart Tolle’s work emphasizes the importance of silencing mental noise, which can often hinder us from recognizing what we truly desire and from feeling in tune with our goals.
Key Takeaway: By staying present and quieting the mind, you can better align with your truest desires and intentions.
Lou’s Takeaway: It’s on my list!
4. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Why Read It? Although first published in 1937, Think and Grow Rich is still one of the most popular manifestation and personal development books. Hill researched the habits of wealthy and successful individuals and discovered common principles they used to achieve their dreams. This book offers practical steps to cultivate a mindset that attracts wealth and abundance.
Key Takeaway: A combination of strong desire, unwavering faith, and persistence can help you manifest your financial and career goals.
Lou’s Takeaway: It has been decades since I’ve read this, so I think it is time for me to read it again.
5. You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero
Why Read It? Jen Sincero’s book combines humor with practical advice to inspire readers to shed self-doubt and self-sabotaging habits. Through her straightforward and empowering approach, Sincero encourages readers to embrace self-love and confidence, both critical for attracting what you want into your life.
Key Takeaway: Confidence and self-love are essential to living an abundant life and manifesting your dreams.
Lou’s Takeaway: I love the title, and I am a badass – so this is now on my list.
6. Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain
Why Read It? Gawain’s classic is known for breaking down visualization techniques that can make it easier for readers to picture their desired life. She provides practical exercises for mental imagery, guiding readers to connect emotionally with their dreams and manifest them.
Key Takeaway: Regular visualization, combined with emotion, can create the mental blueprint for realizing your desires.
Lou’s Takeaway: Again, on my list!
7. Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One by Dr. Joe Dispenza
Why Read It? Dr. Dispenza offers a scientific perspective on manifestation. In this book, he explains how the brain’s chemistry and biology can be rewired through intention and visualization. By breaking old thought patterns, readers can start attracting positive experiences into their lives.
Key Takeaway: When you consciously change your thoughts, you start changing your reality.
Lou’s Takeaway: Also, on my list! Anyone in the KC area want to do a manifesting book group? I think that may be the only way to read everything I want to read!
Thoughts on this reading list
Each of these books offers unique insights, techniques, and perspectives on manifestation. As you start or deepen your journey, keep in mind that consistency, gratitude, and belief are key factors in manifestation. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” method; explore each approach and embrace what resonates with you.
These books can serve as powerful tools to inspire and empower anyone who dreams big and wants to use the Law of Attraction to make those dreams a reality. Whether you’re new to manifestation or looking to enhance your practice, these resources provide guidance and inspiration to help you manifest a life you love.
Now, as promised, Lou manifested a cheeseburger, (and $20k)
So, I had just watched The Secret video a friend had shown me. I thought it sounded magical, but I was afraid I didn’t have any magic. Still, I wrote on a play money $20 dollar bill three zeros (to make it $20,000) and put it in my shower so I had to look at it every day. I imagined what I was doing with the $20,000 (I needed a car and a new bed – both of mine were dying.) Sometimes I didn’t “see” it and it was just something inside my shower. Sometimes I would visualize it.
One day I was leaving work and I was tired, frustrated, hungry, and definitely without money until payday, and I had been eating on the cheap at home for a while, but I was craving a cheeseburger. I thought to myself, I should start small. I was walking the 1/4 mile to my car and imagining a delicious cheeseburger.
When I got to my car, there was a flier on my car for a free cheeseburger, fries and drink to a nearby favorite burger place. Seriously. It was a gimmick to get people to apply to a credit card, which I didn’t need and would not qualify for, but I decided to try it. I went to the burger place. I applied for the card, but told the students working the table that I wouldn’t qualify. They said it didn’t matter, and gave me the free food voucher, which I then ordered and happily ate.
I manifested a cheeseburger. Then within a week I got a letter saying that some of my mother’s oil royalties were selling, and my brother and my take would be $43,000. I manifested $20,000. For real.
Since then I haven’t really kept score as much. I just imagine myself in a desired situation, and then sort of forget about it. I figure – it will or won’t happen, it is fine. I have many blessings to be grateful for. Though, now that I am thinking about it again, thanks to Yeye, I am dabbling again. We manifested a trip to New York for us, then Yeye manifested a cross-country move to Kansas City, so I think I have to be dreaming big for everyone!
Yeye will be doing a New Year’s workshop on Manifesting Your Intentions for the New Year. I’ll help her with it, and you better believe, I’m back to adding more intention and focus to what I want out of this life.
Lou expresses pride in Yeye, who has quickly booked her first reading gig after just a week in town. Starting October 30, 2024, Yeye will offer readings at Harvest Moon Botanica, a shop known for its herbs and artisan items. The owner, Theresa, embodies the values of sustainability and community.
