Enekpe - African Goddess of Family
Enekpe is the Guardian of
Destiny, particular within the familial blood line. It is said Her
worshippers went to war, and were threatened with extinction. Enekpe
offered Herself as a sacrifice in order to save Her people. She was
buried alive on the field of battle, and Her tribe was saved, their
linage blessed by Her blood for eternity
October. The time of Samhain. We all know it's a time for honoring out ancestors, and that leads me to remember Enekpe. So here is a prayer to her, for honoring our ancestors,.
Prayer for Honoring Our Ancestors
.
My blood is made from your water my body from your earth
My heart from your fire my breath from your wind.
I am made from the women and men who came before me.
I call to you Enekpe, and give thanks for my ancestors who fought for my existence.
I honor their sacrifices and their offerings
. I call to you Enekpe, in gratitude and thanksgiving For the piece of you that lives within me,
Your divine spark will carry on in my body and spirit Along with the gifts of my ancestors
To nurture the hearts of the family who will rise from my flame and ashes.
Blessed Be.
