Haint Blue?

I was shopping at Goodwill for some trinkets and I came across this bottle you see above. Now the main reason it caught my eye was the cowrie shells. Being a person who believes and practices ways of divination, I was immediately intrigued. In voodoo or hoodoo practices, the diviner is to throw the cowrie shells and the back of the shell looks like an eye, which Africans say is looking at you. If both face up then the shells see good fortune and choices. This would also be considered a "yes" in a yes or no question. If the other side considered the "mouth" is up that means, "No," all decisions are poor and or problems will develop. It is said that the shells (eyes) are asleep. And if one eye is open along with one having the mouth open, any decisions should be put off and shall ask the question at a later date, because as time proves, changes are occurring at every moment.

It's truly a beautiful cosmically coincidence that today is the rare Blue Moon. Haint Blue is very common in the southern grounds of Savannah, Ga. It's a very amazing feat that this bottle attacked me due to the fact that on a search of my own family history, I came across the fact that the origin was Glenn County, GA. Thanks to the awesome technology and being in the age of Aquarius, I looked on google maps and it appears in no other than Savannah, GA! My Ancestors led me to get this protective bottle.

I remember when I was younger and I watched a show called Gullah Gullah Island. It was soo cool to first of all see people who looked just like me on the television set amongst the default narrative of the caucus persuasion. Not knowing in my adolescent mind that they were referring to the Gullah Geechee culture that has been the longest surviving of African heretiage of the St. Helena Islands amongst the coastline of southern coast in South Carolina. It's funny how one article that was titled in something to the liking of "haint blue and why older southerners used it for protection."

Living in this new age with upgrades reminds me much of the movie Robots. The robots were being "out-moded." Meaning they were making new versions of the robots in which the older version couldn't afford new parts to continue to function. Much like today. Video games for instance are being pulled offline. I own an Xbox One that my boyfriend insisted on getting me so we could play online together during our off time. I only agreed because my previously owned Xbox 360 went offline. I was appalled. Just like a time about five or six years ago when Walgreens switched to their awards program. I wanted a coffee for the sale price of $1 but I was to pay full price of $1.67 plus for a small if I didn't have their award card. Hence I forced myself to sign up, fork over my personal information such as address and phone number, first and last name which has nothing to do with products in the store. Although signing up for such programs now prints out an algorithm of coupons for you based on your purchases. So just like that episode a long time ago on Kings & Queens, when the new DVR system programmed shows they thought the man would like and they were all deemed sensitive to the male prototype. Yea, exactly what google, fb, and IG to do you when you go jotting something in their tapped search bar. With all of that being said, we must continue not only to ASK FOR HELP when needed, by our Ancestors, whom very blood runs through our veins, but also protect ourselves. That is another aspect of this very day today OCTOBER 31, 2020.
