Every person has their own journey, their own roads. If you take the spiritual path, it is important to respect it. Every spirit has their own history.
For example, Aholu Sakpata, Da, Mami, etc. to name a few.
Many spirits come with the people. Everyone who is born in this world comes with their spirits. Depending on your destin and ancestors' power, your spirits come with you to help you on your roads but not everyone who has spirits is a priest. Some spirits call you to serve only your family. Some spirits come to you for service and devotion. Some spirits come to you to help you serve the world. Some spirits are born with you, just for you and your life purpose to protect you and your family. Some spirits come solely to protect and help the people, as public spirits. Some spirits may come to you and receive you, wherever you are in the world. Some spirits come to dance with you, and all come to teach you a lesson. It may be through a stranger, or a friend, even a little child. Respect it, persevere and trust.

It is important to learn about your life, why you came here and what it is you came to do.
Afa is important for this exact purpose.

Everyone is born with spirit. Our Ancient, African Ancestors have their guardian Gods who protect the family. Our ancestral power used before slavery followed them wherever they went to in the world.

We are from different countries on the continent of Africa. We have the same spirits, but call them by different names. We have the same ceremonies, but complete them in different ways. Our ancestors have different, different spirits. The river, ocean, fire, earth and heaven have given us different spirits. They have their names, depending on who comes to you. Danni, Nana, Djihoussou Djogbe are all for protection. Adé and Mama Tchamba work together, depending on the tragic acts that may have happened within your family. It is good to ask for prayer for your family.

Some Ancestors came as slaves, but with them came their powers. You may not know what spirits your ancestors served before they came as slaves. Your family history is where you will learn about you. You may not know where your family came from, but if you call for them, and do your due diligent research, you will discover exactly what you need to know.
