Wishes, dreams, spells and encantations...

I'm making an appeal to the The Three Kings or AKA The Three Wise Men. Firstly that my asthma eases up, that the doctors can find something that will control the flare ups, which because of mild incursions of Saharan Dust this week have made me asthmatic. I was on a pump called QVar, it's a cortisone and cortisone is wonderful at bringing down inflammation anywhere in the body including the respiratory tract. 

So, I was using my pump twice daily as per doctors instructions and it was keeping me pretty much controlled, not all the way but it helped a lot, I was pleased.  Then I noticed that my fingernails were releasing from the nail bed! Whoooaaa! After that  I noticed that I was now growing a beard! Whoooaaa! It was fuzzy type hair but quite visible from certain angles and the fuzzy hair was getting longer and fuzzy!!! Whoooaaaa thar Betsy!!!

My granddaughter noticed it first, she said abuela you have like a...beard growing!!!! and together we looked and sure enough yes indeedy, I was now turning into a fuqin circus attraction! The bearded Puerto Rican lady!!! No bueno at all!

Then I casually rubbed my arm against the wall, no big deal, happens all the time, but hell, my freakin skin came off!!! and the blood flowed, yes it did, and the stinging! My skin had become super thin like overnight! Shit! Okay, so the QVar while it was letting me breathe better was not so good in other areas of my body...So I stopped it. The beard left as suddenly as it had come, my nails are growing back, albeit slowly as nails are wont to do, but my skin has remained slightly thinner, so I bruise easily and if I accidentally rub up against anything rough or sharpish my skin will break. Anyway c'est la vie.

So I'm making a request to the Kings, Wise Men, I need healthy, strong lungs, and I need a couple other things, it's a secret...

I prayed to God, to St. Jude which is the saint of miracles, petitioned the Orishas, particularly Ogun, which I was told once by a Babalu was my guardian Orisha. did the Tarot cards, worked my crystals. and now I've set it up before the Kings, my plea. I've made a sort of altar to them all. with my crystals, and jewelry, some fake, some real. I put out a ruby ring which supposedly belonged to my great grandmother, that same Babalu told me I didn't have to wear it, but to keep it in a sacred place and revere it, and I do that. "Ensalsala" were his exact words.

I sat among the crystals my diamond ring, a small sapphire ring, the ruby ring and a semi-precious stone ring and heart pendant. In the boxes I have semiprecious earrings, yellow topaz, blue topaz, chalcedony, peridot, druzy. I have some fake fashion rings in there too! added a candy. The funny thing is, I love stones in jewelry, but I hardly ever wear it, I have topaz pendants, tanzanite pendants, I wear them sometimes when I go out.

Anyway that's my altar, lets see if it works... ;)
