WHO IS LA MADAMA? (Absolutely, WHO ARE LA MADAMAS?)
In attendance is a arrived misconception that La Madama is a assured spirit. This is entirely criminal. A Madama is a form of spirit - to which numerous cost spirits and guides belong. Accordingly the add-on proper call is "who are la madamas?" Madamas are spirits of the dead that were slave women, hit in table, who looked fancy the sterotypical image of the "mammy" from the 1800's. Madamas are NOT want women. This is to a great extent criminal and misinformed. They are particularly either women who skilled Santer'ia or Palo Monte the same as they were in material form (meaning they are highest particularly Cuban-born slave women). As a rule La Madamas are depicted voguish gingham skirts or aprons in the colors of the deity to which they were initiated (red gingham for Chango priestesses, Improper gingham for Yemaya priestesses, etc.) They typically last their hair wrapped in cloth of similar color. In attendance are a choice of "Madama" spirits out put on... she is not sporadic in ecosystem. For token, I last a "Madama" spirit who was initiated to Chang'o the same as she was in material form and she has a particular name. My godfather has a "Madama" spirit who was initiated to Yemay'a the same as she was in material form and she has a equivalent name. With the sole purpose put, La Madama is NOT one spirit.

Everyplace DID MADAMA Confidence Impart FROM?
The form of Madama type spirits is NOT community to Rootwork and has actually never ever been a part of Hoodoo at all until the final 15 to 20 existence the same as society who skilled Espiritismo Cruzado (Blended Spiritism) from Latino countries started encountering traditional Southern Rootworkers and exchanging credo. In fact, the presence of Madamas, Indian Confidence (fancy Black Hawk) or other spirits fancy these were absolutely found in Seer Churches in the south, and not readily within Hoodoo. Limit Hoodoo practitioners stuck fast to Protestant Christianity, praying psalms and working their roots. This introduction of Espiritismo elements (fancy working with saints, Madama Confidence, Indian Confidence, etc. is a relatively new introduction to Hoodoo).
ESPIRITISMO CRUZADO AND "MADAMA" Confidence
Espiritismo Cruzado comes from the latino countries of the Caribbean (Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic) and has take off to numerous other countries as well as Venezuela, part of Mexico and even the southern parts of The Shared States with the dislodgment of society from these countries northward. It is a type of Spiritualism based in the Spiritist practices of Allan Kardec blended with some spiritual concepts of the African Diasporic Religions. This type of spiritualism works differently than the add-on conventional "white number" complaint of Kardecian spiritism found in Europe in the after the event 1800's. Practitioners of Espiritismo pray Catholic prayers, swish messages from their guides and spirits of the dead, work a lot with herbs, perfumes, washes and plant life, and roll on lime their skills as mediums and energy healers. Innermost Espiritismo the mediums work with sufficient of exciting spirits. In attendance are numerous categories of spirits as well as (but not first-class to): Madamas, Indians, Gypsies, Nuns, Arabs, and even Pirates. In attendance is not ONE spirit of La Madama, of late fancy put on is not ONE spirit of The Indian, nor is put on ONE spirit of the Gypsy. League may refer to "my Madama" - meaning their Madama-type spirit, but put on are numerous other Madama-type spirits as well.
CAN I Drive Amongst "LA MADAMA"?
This is an exciting call that I get from numerous society. The definite isn't so simple. It isn't whether you CAN work with La Madama - the call actually prerequisite be "Do I last a Madama with which to work?" This is a error of the ecosystem of Espiritismo from a Hoodoo practitioner's incline. In Espiritismo (Spiritism), you don't go out seeking spirits to work with. More exactly, you work with the Spiritual Hearing that beforehand surrounds you. The Spiritual Hearing is a group of the highest minute guiding spirits you last physically you that protect and teach you. They are your "inner piazza" and they replacement you the same as you cannot replacement yourself. They guide you, teach you and flash you. One and all person's Spiritual Hearing is equivalent than the next's.
Previously you can work with "Madama" type spirits you withstand to find out IF In attendance IS ONE IN YOUR Spiritual COURT! This is the highest central element that society don't confound featuring in bill. You be supposed to top do analytic spiritualist grassroots (or different spiritual inspect) to find out if you last such a spirit in your piazza with which to work. As a rule such a hill is conducted by other mediums who general feeling facade featuring in your spiritual piazza with the support of their guides and location who is put on for you. You can for that reason work on increase your link with ancestors guides ended prayer, introspection, meditation and contact with these spirits at your Spiritual Altar (in Espiritismo Cruzado this is called a b'oveda and is particularly a number or cubbyhole caked in white cloth with goblets of water located out to renew one's spirits and to help with the move of spiritual messages). It is up to each numeral to learn as a lot as they can about their Spiritual Hearing, as well as names, behaviors, traits and to spot their course as a lot as at all. These spirits general feeling act as the path for divine guiding light and course for that numeral. If you last a Madama type spirit you would withstand to find out somewhere she's from, her name, what she skilled in her life and how to work with her.
Running Amongst LA MADAMA
I often see photos of society putting consideration to La Madama and prayerful her as if she was a saint. This is without delay unsuitable and criminal. This is not the procedure in which Spiritists would ever work with a Madama-type spirit. They understand very in detail that God is who we respect. A Madama-type spirit is not a saint to be petitioned. She is a spirit guide. She is put on to present you course, flash your spell work, pay attention you from harm, process you the same as you fortitude up everything flagrant, and to be a learned and guru. You do not respect your learned, by the same token you do not respect La Madama. If you do give up her consideration, they are consideration of remembering fancy bouquets of plant life or a cup of coffee and a cigar. These are limited from the time when she came ended and helped you with an subject or to marmalade your connotation with her strong. In time she general feeling help you with reading, perceiving and psychic abilities as well as flexible you guiding light the same as you do spell work. In the past all, she was a priestess in her time and knows how to work spells, but she general feeling tell you how to do it HER way, not the Hoodoo way (from the time when she was not a want person, she was an Afro-Caribbean priestess). Oodles society fancy to last a doll or statue to extract their Madama-type spirit on their altar or their b'oveda. This doll acts as a physical package in which her spirit can echo the same as you are asking her for course and spell crafting with her help.
If you don't last a Madama-type spirit in your Spiritual Hearing, that's fine and accepted. You may last a choice of other spirits who are very powerful and do up to you. But the add-on pretentious thing to memorialize is that this internet fad of La Madama really wishes to be handled with pertain to and a clearer understanding so that society don't take advantage of their energy and money maddening to appeal a spirit that's not even helpful to them. Confine on the spirits that do bell you and marmalade ancestors bonds strong, and you'll be a lot above off in the hunger run.
