Lɛmɛ́zo and Dɛ̆ Sɛ̀ – The Realm Between Worlds and Restoring Lost or Fragmented Souls
Lɛmɛ́zo, in Afrikan Vodùn, is a realm between the living world and the worlds beyond; “purgatory” for familiarity. This is a space where lost souls may wonder until proper rites and rituals have been done for their souls. Some of them get stuck there. Some find a portal back to ayì (earth) which can cause further problems, not just for their peaceful transition, but also for family members. The latter happens much more than you think and it explains a great majority of the problems of stagnation and wanton destruction in our families and communities. This is yet one of many reasons we need to let go of beliefs and religions that discourage our communication with our ancestors.
Then there are the extreme, yet very real, cases of living people who have souls that are fragmented and partially missing, because that soul is trying to return to or visit realms like Lɛmɛ́zo for whatever reasons and that it should not be happening. A lot of mental illness is related to this. These are things that western methods cannot explain so they make up theory after theory every other year. That is when we have to use the Nuwà Dɛ̆ Sɛ̀ – Soul Amending/Retrieval Ceremony.
If you have extreme feelings of not being you, and are in total confusion about what to do in relation to this unusual and extremely uncomfortable feeling, please contact us or someone else capable so that we may inquire of the Fá oracle if you are or are not experiencing a lost or fragmented soul. We can also properly direct the soul of a deceased loved one so that they may journey to the right place.
