I’m in need of help. I have a relative that’s near death if they don’t get help. We believe their ex put roots on them. My relative is literally out of their mind. How do one fend off this negative energy? I believe they are still in communication with the ex too for whatever reason. It’s like they can’t stay off from the ex.

Thank you! Yesterday, they were disorientated, and in distress. They was in some neighborhood without a shirt or shoes asking people to use their phone to call someone. This was 4am in the morning. Luckily, they have since been founded. But when I talked to them they were still in distressed and contemplating suicide.

Of course in addition too what I sent you try to prove and, if you haven't already, psychiatric help so that they can be chilled a little bit.

Kinda nuanced and also depends on your background. Ima just say put your trust in something greater than you, even if it's your ancestors protecting you. And Don't dabble in the occult unless you are a practitioner or something passed down in your family and you were initiated properly.

Lot of women nowadays are literal witches and dudes out here clueless.

Also don't eat any ol body food, use rubbers, and pay attention for blood when you having sex

I’m not a dude and the ex isn’t a witch. She went to someone who has a botanical/root shop.

What I was asking is if there’s anything I can buy or someone to seek to help me with this hex on my family member?

I wrote this following my uncle's funeral for a Nigerian newspaper aimed at Yoruba people. A lot of them were PISSED but I didn't give a fukk.

I just buried my uncle, Chief Adedayo Olugundudu, who spent his life being the vanguard of the Yoruba faith. Installed as the first Araba of the US & Puerto Rico by the former Ooni Sijuwade, he died having published three books on the spiritual aspects of Yoruba and was a world-renowned Babalowo.

Watching the Puerto Rican, African American, Brazilian, and Trinidadian Ifa followers bury my uncle in a traditional Yoruba ceremony with the pomp and pageantry of the old ways was a testament to his work. But for me, it was also a bit of an embarrassment. We as Yorubas run away from that part of us, running away from who we spiritually are and what we as Yorubas created, opting to call it deviltry. I've always had an unease as a Christian, knowing the route taken for this foreign faith we call our own and what my folks had to forego to take it on. Being an Ife prince myself, it makes it all the more unsettling.

So, as I sat there watching folks outside of Yorubaland go so hard carrying traditions and following a faith we as Yorubas distance ourselves from, I felt a sort of way. I encountered guilt. But as a friend of mine said when discussing this with him, the diaspora keep the tradition more as they are hungry for it while we, in our need to be traditional, do not.

So let's celebrate the style and sophistication we saw from the Ijebu people my mom talked to me about as a kid, saying no one parties better or shows out more than them. But let's not be comfortable in only embracing certain aspects of who we are while foregoing other parts. I personally do not have that comfort, knowing that we collectively as Yoruba people cast aside a major part of who we are while the diaspora outside of Nigeria carry it further.

I believe my uncle would have wanted his passing to make us pause and reflect on the work he put in carrying on our spiritual traditions. It’s certainly given me reason.

Wow that’s your uncle? My condolences, I play his music all the time.

Never met him but the people I know personally who studied under him are A1 in their knowledge and dedication to the tradition.

You sre saying you dont know any root shops in your city so you came to the Coli? Why not go to the shop she went to?

I don’t live in the same city or state for that matter as them. In fact, I’m out of the country, temporarily, for a job. But anyways, I was looking for sound advice that no one seems to be able to provide. This is a new territory- I have never encountered something like this.

I was just looking for general advice. I’m not stupid.

First, you're gonna need divination. Then proceed from there. NOT at a botanica. Anybody worth a damn is usually found via word of mouth, not via advertising themselves on social media.

This is the gift and curse of knowledge. I`m not against folks seeking to align with things closer to what their ancestors practiced, but in Times past things were a bit more "Guarded" but now everything is "for sale" and lot of people seeking self gain got no clue what they dealing with.
