Petitioning Damballah for Financial Help in Spiritual Affairs

As much as we may wish to separate spiritual matters from filthy lucre, sometimes even heavenly goals require earthly funding. Every temple needs contractors and laborers; every charity needs donations. (And if you’re complaining about the cost of initiation into Vodou, ask some Divinity School students about their student loans sometime.) But how do you put the money together for spiritual things when you are struggling to meet your worldly obligations?

In a situation like this you can rely on Papa Damballah for help. While at times he may seem aloof and unconcerned with humans, he is happy to assist in our spiritual elevation. As a popular chanté lwa (song for the spirits) for Damballah says, he leaves tracks wherever he goes. He may not move as quickly as you might like, but he will get you where you need to go—and make powerful, lasting changes in every aspect of your life.

For this spell you will need a glass of water, a clean white saucer, white flour, and a white egg. You will also need a white covered casserole dish. If you can get “snake shed” (ideally from a white or albino snake), that will work particularly well; if not, you can use clean, new white yarn. (There’s a difference between a snake shed and snakeskin: the former is sloughed off without harm to the snake.) For the table you will need a clean white cloth and a white seven-day candle. You will need Lotion Pompeia or rose water for cleansing. Finally, you will need an a Damballah vévé that you have drawn yourself in green ink on unlined white paper and another piece of blank paper. If there are other things that you have already gathered in service to Damballah, you can use them as well.

Determine how much your spiritual goal is going to cost. If you don’t have a clear estimate, this is the time to get one. Putting together money for detailed plans is much easier than trying to fund idle dreams. You may want to use the “Planning Your Future with General Ogou Badagri” spell (see chapter 12) along with all of the appropriate footwork and research. Also, determine what percentage of your income you can give to that goal. The biblical tithe (10 percent) is a good number to start with, but you may go with a lower or higher amount as your situation requires. Be liberal in what you are willing to put aside: the Divine is generous to those who are generous, and with Damballah’s aid you may soon find yourself making back your offering with interest.

Wipe down the surface where you will be working with the Pompeia or rose water. Place the vévé on that surface, then place the white cloth on top of it. Put the glass and saucer on the cloth. Fill the glass with water, then add a few drops of perfume. Place the flour on the saucer and then place the egg on top.
