The conflicting of ATRS and energy systems over the diaspora has cause alot of confusion between individuals who think they can group energies together because they read an article on Google (which is probably written by someone who isn’t even initiated into the faith) these “spirits” and or “energies” all come from lineage of spirits, while the calling maybe similar, the actual energy is not.
Calling on energies that aren’t familiar with you or in your spiritual court can cause great disturbance to your path and journey, not because the spirits will do anything “bad” to you, but because they all serve different functions of life. Alignment with your ancestral court is so important as they already know your path, your head, your ori, the destiny and agreements you made before coming to earth. Example; your direct lineage of ancestors may be connected to fire spirts, you may be a descendant of those same fire spirits and because you feel called to water energy, you start working with that, so your ancestral lineage pulls back, now your life direction feels thrown off.
Again, this isn’t to fear monger, divinities are not sitting up in the sky waiting to throw your life off track, or steer you wrong. They’re however hungry spirits who sit in the in between, as they haven’t crossed over and aren’t connected to any “light”, who will attach themselves onto seemingly “lost” individuals who find themselves called to esoteric knowledge.
Spirituality is not about being tricked.
Spirituality is not about being tricked.
Spirituality is not about being tricked.
Spirituality is not about being tricked.
Nothing that is for you, will ever trick you, or lead your astray, your ancestral court and direct lineage will never lead you off course. Trickster spirits however will. Use discernment before calling on energies you may be unfamiliar with. Consult with a priest, someone with trusted knowledge to assist you on your path.

EXU of QUIMBANDIERA/ UMBANDA is not Elegguá of Santeria. It’s a darker aspect representing duality of the crossroads. Just as light exist so does dark, Ganesha is not Esu, Esu is not Satan. Ganesha is a HINDU crossroads energy.
Ogun is not Hermes
They exsist as singular entities, singular modalities, singular functions and singular existence with their own lineage experiences. While we are all connected as “one” through the creator, we are all exsisting with own our walks of life and our own experiences, just as you are not your mother, you are not your sister, you are not your father, the spirits exist with their own walks and own lineage experiences.
Due to the crossing of ancestral practices many have energies that have followed them from past lives into this one, that often times cross through different spiritual practices, which is fine. What isn’t fine is conflicting the energies and dumping them into a pot of "what you feel called towards", because one sees a ritual on the internet and feel entitled to do so. As an initiated priest, I implore you all to seek out certified professionals in the paths (consult with your ancestors and ori first because they will guide you exactly where you need to be).
