Afoxé Para Logun

Menino caçador 

Flecha no mato bravio 
Menino pescador 
Pedra no fundo do rio 

Coroa reluzente 
Todo ouro sobre azul 
Menino onipotente 
Meio Oxóssi, meio Oxum 

Menino caçador 
Flecha no mato bravio 
Menino pescador 
Pedra no fundo do rio 

Coroa reluzente 
Todo ouro sobre azul 
Menino onipotente 
Meio Oxóssi, meio Oxum 

Eh..., quem é que ele é? 
Ah..., onde é que ele está? 
Axé, menino,axé! 
Fara Logun, Fara Logun, Fá 
Axé, menino,axé! 
Fara Logun, Fara Logun, Fá 

Menino, meu amor 
Minha mãe, meu pai, meu filho 
Toma teu axoxô 
Teu onjé de coco e milho 

Me dá do teu axé 
Que eu te dou teu mulucum 
Menino, doce mel 
Meio Oxóssi, meio Oxum

The Remuria

I know I haven't posted here in ages and I'm sorry for that, but I thought I would blog here as a way to kinda write down a thought I have been having. Since my little vacation from blogging and just meditating on my personal path and practice
-Okay i'm digressing-

I have been toying with the idea about Remus and Romulus-as we know from popular legends that Romulus killed Remus and founded Rome. Well doing some research on the Lemuria, which on my personal calendar I have moved it Oct.31| Nov.1-

However, according to Ovid's Fasti, the origin of this ancient festival, who derives Lemuria from a supposed Remuria was that it had been instituted by Romulus to appease the spirit of Remus. So, that got me thinking-and toying with the idea of the Remuria (May 9,11,13) as a day of atonement and appeasing Remus' spirit.

A day filled with prayers and meditation....

Thoughts?
