Temple of The Machete Who Wins all Battles.

If one Court of Spirits fully embodies resiliency and overcoming insurmountable odds, it is the Commissions of Slaves. Few things make my blood boil like the institution of slavery. I am not just speaking of humanity's past affiliation, but more specifically, the modern continuation.  Did you know human slavery and trafficking are alive and well? Did you know it is a TRILLION dollar industry? Did you know that right now, this very moment, more humans are being kept as slaves than in any known point in human history? So the real question is, what are you going to do about it? It is definitely something worth thinking about.  The Court of the Salves is comprised of fierce fighters and stalwart guardians. They know better than almost anyone what fear, hopelessness, and unbearable anguish feel like. They lived it and do not want anyone else to suffer what they did. For this reason, the Commission of Slaves often works harder than most to resolve problems and bring a...

Indio Spiritism Indio Cordon Brave, strong, and reliable, the Commission of Indio spirits (the Indio mysteries comprised of the Indio Court and the Indio Division) are near central to the Puerto-Rican lineage of Vodou or Sanse. The influence of the Indios is what makes Puerto-Rican Vodou as much as the Petro Loa make Haitian Vodou.  For clarification purposes, the Commission or Court of the Indio Spirits is different than the Indio Division. Sanse or Puerto-Rican Vodou is the 7 Chief Loa or Mysteries and the 21 Commissions or Courts of Spirits. The Indio Division is on the of the 7 Divisions headed by Tinjo Alawe, one of the 7 Chief Loa or Mysteries.

The Loa of the Indio Divison also are mostly not of African descent, and likely include the Cemi, great supernatural beings of Taino and Arawak veneration.  The Commission or Court of the Indios is part of the 21 ...

Created for the Temple of the Machete who wins all Battles. Do you feel as if you've been shipwrecked? Maybe lost at sea? Are you confused about what course to take, or what heading to follow? Are you surrounded by pirates, be they spiritual or physical? If so, it is time to request aid from the Sailor commission.  Sailors are rough and tumble spirits, who will brave the most turbulent seas and sail through the scariest storms with you. They will never desert you, and they got your back in any kind of fight. Sailors are steadfast allies, possessing wisdom and compassion as vast as the ocean. They are pure of heart and strong of arm.  In my spiritual work, I call upon the Court or Commission of the Sailors often. Puerto-Rican Vodou, or Sanse, being under the cosmic Loa or emanation of God known as Gran Simbi Rey del Agua (King of the Waters) or KIng Molinu, is a very "watery" tradition. This means it is cool, refreshing, and heavy on the cleansing and...
