Demons and Saints: The Duality of Spirituality

This conversation delves into the complex Mexican spirituality and its diverse connections, exploring from occultism and syncretism with African roots, to family influences and supernatural experiences. Key topics addressed include ethics in spiritual practice, the importance of vibration and emotions, and various forms of initiation (Mano de Orula, rayamiento) and interpretation. The discussion also covers historical aspects like sacrifices, contemporary challenges like narcosatanism and spiritual fraud, the role of ancestral medicines, and figures like Santa Muerte and the yaya. Specific practices like Palo and Ifá are analyzed, along with the emotional/energetic cost of spiritual work, the duality of good and evil, responsibility, and the evolution of social perception, complemented by personal reflections and experiences.Subscribe to our patron for ad free podcast and more⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/edsmanifesto⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sneakreaper industries Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sneakreaper-industries.com/⁠⁠
