Hi 💓 I want to name my baby something a little more unconventional that has personal meaning to me. I’m looking for more gender neutral names for a baby boy and would love something that has Mars or Sol in jt in it bc that’s what I want babies nickname to be either Marsy or Soleil.

Some names I’ve thought of so far are Marsell, Amari, Soline, Martin, Riomar, and Marley. I love the name Marisol, Marina or Mariana for a girl.

Lmk thoughts hehe

I received my elekes in 2021 with my madrina and things immediatly started changing in my life, I've gone through a lot and have had so many ups and downs but my faith in Oricha got me through. It was coming up in Misa and in dilogun that I should get scratched and in 2023 my madrina took me to cuba to get my baja del santo and to do my rayamiento. I found Elegua had my head which makes sense but since then my life, the last 3 years and counting have been complete chaos, housing instability, moving over 15 times, things getting stolen from me, getting arrested for something I didn't do, my health has gotten bad, things breaking over and over again. I try my best to adhere to my ewes in my readings but I just feel cursed. It doesn't come up that I am in readings but life has just been so difficult. So difficult to the point thats leaving my questioning my own faith bc why would they allow this to happen to me. I recieved my Olokun last September in Cuba and it was a really beautiful ceremony but things just kept getting bad. I try to talk to my madrina but shes been a bit out of commision. I just feel lost and feel like im losing faith. i dont want to suffer and struggle anymore.

hi,

I have my beads, warriors and olokun and marked elegua, also separately scratched . I’m based in NYC and have done most of my religious ceremonies in Cuba. My ilé in nyc is quite small and I’d love to attend more tambors and dive deeper. I‘ve only been to tambors in Cuba, Brazil and PR and would love to attend one in nyc. I just love the religion so much ❤️🖤 if yk of any that are welcoming to femmes please reach out
