SATURDAY
i put this post up yesterday, then i took it down, some things feel
like they should be classified, this probably one of them
got on this orisha myspace type online community and this the message i left
im kinda embarrassed about it, cause i get to huffing and puffing
and showing my arrogance, but you know im always about the mythwork
about having that dialogue about our responsiblities as spiritual practitioners in atr circles
this is basically the manifestation of my wouldbe prophecy
trying to take atr practice to higher ground
i get out there huffing and puffing and embarrass myself
then i draw back and fumble about, i got to get the hang of putting it
out there then divorcing myself from negative or even worse, no feedback
i get out there in atr forums and say my bit, trying to generate dialogue on these issues and maybe some
movment and folk ignore me but thats the way it is
comes with the territory when you try to run prophets game
at this point im just trying to leave a historical record cause it dont appear ima be getting any play in my lifetime
ohwell, got to have the courage of your convictions, ima repost this, ima move on:
all my love

hello all
rickydoc flowers here aka rickydoc trickmaster, practitioner of the hoodoo way
queenmama whodun brought me into the yard and a sweet yard it seem to be
i should low profile until i get a feel for the flow but im a delta mack and its my nature
to spread my hoodoo gospel - ima writer and a blogger out in the world and the old boy got to do his thing
I figure a couple of words on hoodoo and atr might be pertinent to the moment
as most of you know hoodoo has a complicated relationship with the atr family
hoodoo has traditionally been more of a magical system than a religious one
every practitioner basically does what he or she please, we kinda like that freedom
of movement, that anymethod anytime approach, and as hoodoo is drawn deeper
into the atr family, want to keep that freedom of movement by evolving the sorceric
into the prophetic, or shall i say the divinational, at least I would, cant speak for all hoodoos though I often try
that way we can be part of a religious community while maintaining the individuality that exemplify hoodoo - cause not much difference between the sorceric and the prophetic, same powers, cept one works for clients, the other works for god and community,
i would like to make the prophetic a hoodoo specialty - pertinent point here is that the prophetic is given the dispensation to change things, to challenge outdated and antiquated practice - the prophetic is part of the religious system but separate from it
folk think the prophetic is about foretelling the future but its more hooking up current behavior with destinic consequence - continue to behave as you do and you will suffer as a people – listen to me and your generations will thrive
there is a lot hoodoo has to learn from more traditional atr but as the indigenous african american system there is a lot we bring to the table
i believe that its our responsibility as atr practitioners to be guide and guardian of the tribal soul and destiny
im of the school that feels that if we as a people are suffering its because our spiritual traditions have been slack, its because we as spiritual leaders have been slack
folk like to speak of our atr strengths but the truth is in the condition of our people worldwide
wherever you got blackpeople they are on the bottom of their respective society, everywhere in the world that i can see, that mean we haven’t been taking care of business
losing out to the aggressor religions, in part cause they been doing a better job of guidance than we have, cant get around that
that mean that we have to move atr into a higherground, take better care of our people and our culture, our destiny - it is incumbent upon us to awaken the sleeper, protect the weak and guide the strong – it is the geas of rickydoc
cast your vision young hoodoo as far as you can see, determine the challenges the tribe will face, prepare the tribal soul to meet them
i believe that atr is in a period of evolution and manifestation, that the 21st century belong to us - if we take care of business
i believe part of our generational mission will be to determine what practices are outdated and need to be evolved, what needs to be maintained and strengthened, what need to be extracted and left behind
and it tickle me to see folk up in here on the case, i look forward to participating in this great endeavor with my fellow travelers, I am moved to be part of the fellowship, thanks for letting me in the yard
in the name of the conqueror

FRIDAY
feel bad, rough class yesterday, left one of my students hanging, have to do better
hoodoo queen whodun did a post recently on chris brown where she say chris a horse of krump spirits
that when they do that aggressive wardance that krumping entail
they calling down possession by malevolent spirits that dont accept boundaries too well
fascinating take on krump spirits as haints of the guede family
conservative cartoonists say they cant do anything without being accused of racism
say blackfolk need to lighten up, this guy stantis complains that he got accused of
drawing obama like a monkey and nothing could be further from the truth
look like a monkey to me, it was the gunshot wounds that pushed buttons on that other one
much as i dismiss protest politics, called creative license on the dutch dig at mohammad
and did not object to depictions of bush as chimp, seem i object to chimp obama
conservative frustration at black president gon take some peculiar manifestation
im ready to draw a line here but the very act of drawing a line invite folk to cross it
buch of mud wrestling, dont have time for it, dont like
being subject to other folks triggers, everytime some body do this
do that mean i got to jump up and down and bust a gut
but sometime you got to call folk on it - they got the right to do it, we got the right
to protest - and try to penalize offenders - guess you can call that dialogue
in the name of the conqueror, im out

THURSDAY
so this that cartoon thats been the topic of much conversation lately
some folk saying the new york post cartoonist was doing a racial thing on obama
he and the post say he was just commenting on that chimp amok story
cartoon in bad taste anyway, woman still in critical care after chimp ate her face
that boy knew he was skating close to the edge
probably warmed his wretched cartoonist soul
did it to the gay folk awhile back w/a cartoon of a man carrying a sheep to the same sex marriage license booth
boy a serial offender
its the bullet holes i find offensive
dont care for it but im not going to worry about it
aint got time to wrestle w/pigs, thats what we got al for
huff post did a piece recently on all the republicans that voted against the stimulus bill
lining up at the trough hoping to dip their beaks, they say long as the money flowing
they want to get theirs - dont we all
me, i been slacking my noveltime, schoolhouse got me humping
been wondering if maybe i should go for 1 hour a day during the semester week
no matter how tight it is i ought to be able to squeeze 1 measely hour cause
im confident my boy got the economic condition, i believe he got that
gon give him a little slack, let his moves manifest, i believe he got a vision
and he gon go thru the motions but i bet he understand too
that he cant let the republicans cripple his game, i bet he do
lets watch and see - lets calibrate the game
