BaBa GeDe Igbo Bey in his own words…..
Papa Gede Nibo Bey “La Kwa “, was born in a town called “ WOLFTON “. A town of teachers.
He descended through a line of “SPIRITUALISTS “. His grandfather built the Masonic lodge and was the grand master. Granddad’s root work included a cure for toothache.
Grand Ma “OLGA “was a root woman, some of her sisters passed for white. This made her a very volatile person.
Her son,PaPa Gede”s father ,was named “ TUDE “. Because he kept an attitude .
He named little Joe “ JOE LOUIS “ this was his basket name . This name the name of the heavy weight champ at that time ,
Brought out the Gullah , Geechee , Mandingo blood line . He had to fight on demand . Everyone wanted a shot at the country boy
I remember , early on he had to use the “ DOSE “ , to get retribution . The bigger kids would do what they called “ Taking Tek “.
They would just take a piece of your candy and dare you to say something
They had a Hershey chocolate bar , they also had a chocolate laxative called “ EXLAX “.
In those days when you took an “ exlax “, you had better be on the stool or at least in the bathroom .
He would set the chocolate bar so when you took “ TEK “, his retribution was on the way . Bibles have a way of being read as the word of “ GOD “, I want to be clear on this point of “ DOSE “.
This hoodoo trick was based on the law of “ KARMA “, It does not give a license to attack anyone.
Grasshopper , Hoodoo is above all ‘RESPECT “. For self , and forces around you. Aye bobo , bi lolo , ashe , amen .
“When you’re Green, you grow; When you’re Ripe; you rot…”
I see a lot of movement now days about preserving spiritual culture . There are quests for making shrines , pilgrimages ,monuments , dedications etc .
I think those things lead to "Stagnation " and send your spirit on a " Goose " chase . And your reward is the proverbial " GOOSE " .
An old Gullah proverb ; When you Green you grow , when you Ripe you " ROT " .
The " Stimulus is ; The kingdom is within . We should be a spiritual work en progress constantly growing and internalizing our " god head ". More or less like un " GUMBO ", hence de wurd " Hoodun ". You should be all your spiritual treks at once and still " GREEN ".
Consciousness is de only ting fe change .
