So when we judge someone success what are we judging: their staying power, their financial status, their client list, or something else. Now in Santeria also known as Lucumi, as in New Orleans Voodoo and Haitian Vodou staying power certainly gives a practitioner credentials. Who initiated them and where are also factors. I also believe everyone has a specialty. Not every priest or priestess is going to be good at everything, that is why these systems operate within larger networks. To become part of these networks is a lifelong process. Most of these online spellworkers do not list their training. That should be your first clue that something might be problematic when you are searching for someone to perform spiritual work. Client list or recommendations, could be a reasonable thing to check out. The problem with this is many people like to keep these consultations secret. For years there have been rumors about J-Lo practicing Santeria and I recently found a picture of D\u2019Angelo wearing a set of Lucumi elekes. Wyclef Jean has said he is related to a Vodou priest, but many celebrities are still private about these matters. While famous clients may mean someone is successful, but ultimately all it proves is you knew enough to get yourself in front of the right people. Now you could check out who you\u2019re working with, their years, time, training, and associations but that is only half the equation. Please check in next time there is much more to say on this topic, and I\u2019d love to hear your comments below.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
