Carnival Morning Blessing Ceremony in Treme by the Mystic Seven Sisters and the 6th Ward Konjurers

Honoring the Ancestors, cleansing and blessing the Historic Tremé with sacred herbs, drums, and Creole songs. Led by Voodoo Queen Kalindah Laveaux. After the ceremony the Mystic Seven Sisters hosted a free breakfast for the community. The chant heard in the video “ago elegba” means “make way for Elegba.” Elegba is an orisha in the Yoruba religion and in Afro-Caribbean traditions. Elegba is the divine messenger, trickster god of chance, principle of indeterminacy, and essence of fate among the Yorubas in West Africa and all those who possess him, by extension, all of humankind.
