It is a pleasure to greet you all. I was selected by the Ancestors and Spirits to carry their cultural legacy and to help the people with what little I know and what was put in my hands. I ask for the blessings of all ancestors, spirits, lands, waters and powers of the world to help the people. I am here to serve the world.
Every person has their own journey, their own roads. If you take the spiritual path, it is important to respect it. Every spirit has their own history.
For example, Aholu Sakpata, Da, Mami, etc. to name a few.
Many spirits come with the people. Everyone who is born in this world comes with their spirits. Depending on your destin and ancestors' power, your spirits come with you to help you on your roads but not everyone who has spirits is a priest. Some spirits call you to serve only your family. Some spirits come to you for service and devotion. Some spirits come to you to help you serve the world. Some spirits are born with you, just for you and your life purpose to protect you and your family. Some spirits come solely to protect and help the people, as public spirits. Some spirits may come to you and receive you, wherever you are in the world. Some spirits come to dance with you, and all come to teach you a lesson. It may be through a stranger, or a friend, even a little child. Respect it, persevere and trust.
It is important to learn about your life, why you came here and what it is you came to do.
Afa is important for this exact purpose.

In this spiritual kingdom, everyone does not have the same roles but we all follow the same protocol. It is important to honor what your gods, ancestors, spirits and destin have provided to you. Do not take it for granted. In this kingdom, we serve humbly with our hearts, kindness, honestly and in the ways we are called by the Spirits. Patience, Perseverance, Respect and Trust is how we demonstrate this.
In any religion God calls you to serve, it is important to respect it. Mutual Love, Respect, Tolerance, Unity and Forgiveness are the key to understanding humanity. Some of us are called to serve the world, publicly. Some of us are called to serve only our family spirits. If you are called to the public road, you will have to be approved. It is not as simple as calling yourself a priest or sibyl and falsifying credentials as many people do online and in person today. You will have to train in your roles before you are authorized to do anything. This is our tradition.

Whatever the Spirits and Ancestors tell you not to do (eat, drink, etc.), don't do it! You may not understand why, but listen and follow their instructions from consultation.
If the Ancestors and Spirits ask you to do anything, do it. Respect the ceremonies you receive and you will be happy, joyful.
If you have any concerns about your business, or specific areas of your life, we have services to accomodate you as well.
Because this is African Tradition and Culture, we are not limited to assisting those within our tradition. Our services are open to those who mutually respect and follow the protocol as well, regardless of religious beliefs.
It is important to respect your gods. It is important to respect your destin.
Everyone is born with spirit. Our Ancient, African Ancestors have their guardian Gods who protect the family. Our ancestral power used before slavery followed them wherever they went to in the world.
We are from different countries on the continent of Africa. We have the same spirits, but call them by different names. We have the same ceremonies, but complete them in different ways. Our ancestors have different, different spirits. The river, ocean, fire, earth and heaven have given us different spirits. They have their names, depending on who comes to you. Danni, Nana, Djihoussou Djogbe are all for protection. Adé and Mama Tchamba work together, depending on the tragic acts that may have happened within your family. It is good to ask for prayer for your family.

Some Ancestors came as slaves, but with them came their powers. You may not know what spirits your ancestors served before they came as slaves. Your family history is where you will learn about you. You may not know where your family came from, but if you call for them, and do your due diligent research, you will discover exactly what you need to know.
"Returning to one's roots: one can change one's first name a thousand times, but never one's surname.
He who does not know the history of his ancestors is a lost soul."
-Oba Kabiessi Alex Kokou Negue, Chief of Ejiogbe, Togo, West Africa.
When you ask for prayer, we have different spirits who will help you and protect you. They need your promise, in return. When you give the spirits a promise, they will do divinely what they can for you, as long as the requests are not impure, inappropriate for your life's choices or against divine spiritual law, the law of the land. The spirits are not a money printer. They see and know all, nothing is hidden from them. Tell Djihoussou what you are looking for, ask for help and be patient. The Gods will judge you and your heart first. Then, they will look around you to see exactly how they will open the doors for you and protect you. Do not get weary, be patient as you work with the Divine.
Chief Hounon Amengansie Mama Zodédé, in Afa Consult.
Gods' time is the best time.
It is good to provide suraka to the spirits and give thanks when you receive your blessings. A gift of appreciation of the fulfillment of your prayers will signal to them that you are capable of keeping your promises and is common amongst religious institutions.
Everything starts with a consultation. I am only a teacher to help you understand the road, if you choose to learn.
If you are of a different belief system but prefer to not join our temple, the spirits can still help you. You will need a consultation to see exactly what it is that you will need to provide to them. With that being said, it is important that you come with respect, an ability to be patient and willingness to understand. This is African Tradition and Culture. Have courage, respect, patience and perseverance as you continue on your roads and you will be okay.
We are not here to destroy.
We are here to work as our Ancient, Ancient African Ancestors worked and build what is destined in our lineages to build.
Akpeloo!
Mama Zodédé
