Three Questions That I Keep Hearing.

Please take the time read and tell me your thoughts.

Is There Such Thing As Head Work In Hoodoo? No. I've also heard of this so called head working. But it's not a thing in hoodoo. A skull candle don't just work on a person's mind.

Question: I Read There No Blood Sacrifice In Hoodoo? Yes there is. Okay there are online comment that is speaking on this saying probably from spiritual online community saying how Hoodoo isn't strong enough because they don't do any sacrifices.

People can I correct these people and say That's incorrect, because we do sacrifices when its need. It can be use for hex's, healing the body of disease, sending petitions to ancestors.. So people if you know your history especially black Americans then you should know that they did sacrifices right so how can someone believe we still don't do it when it's called for, when most religions even Christianity have sacrifice goats to ansestors. That's like saying Vodou or Palo or Santeria don't do it.

Even see on line some of y'all put your petition paper in a casket / coffin for working like say hex or curse. That can also be use to send messages to ansestors.

But you know some of the older ways to send a petition to ansestors was to make a petition paper burn it to ash put it in the mouth of a goat sacrifice it, That will take it to the spirit world ansestors.. I seen it in the mouth of a pegon.

All I'm saying don't be ignorant to this.

Question: Do Some People Go To Hoodoo For The Wrong Reasons? Yes.. I would say so.. Some do it for Good reasons like starting a botanica or a online shop.. Others do it they may do it because they may think hoodoo is more powerful.

Online you see online all this this pretty shit, the altars, the pretty spell candles with glitter inside or bottles that have to have the wax perfectly dripping down and the authors who write books on hoodoo that is fake. I'll tell ya real magic isn't pretty and if you think this is real hoodoo then you have seen it.

Then some get into this is because they get tired of the church or going to church is one big reason.

After they leave the church and maybe even Christianity they now want to get back to their roots which I think is is Great 😃👍

Now This What I Think Is The Wrong Reasons Some Get Into This. Now after they leave the Christian church they want to get into Ifa because they read all this stuff online about the religion or see celebrities talk on it and they want to become a Babalawo or maybe a Santero... Because they watched a movie like Eves Bayou, Skeleton Key, The Craft or The Believer so now they buy and put on they elekes and want to be a priest or priestess and they get a reading done.

So they pay for a reading with a Babalawo or Santero and they tell them you need to be initiated. Great, there happy now," How much is it going to cost they ask around $200, $300? " No, it's will cost around $15,000. Now reality hit them they get mad and say shit like. " This is a rip off $15,000 they ain't shit. I'm going to to learn Haitian Vodou.

So now you fine you a Mambo or a Houngan get a reading don't for $50 to $100 and they tell you that you might have the gift to become a Houngan or Mambo Asogwe. Again your happy to hear that right.

"How Much Is This Going Cost Me? It'll cost around 12,000 and time in Haiti". "I don't have that kind of money, This is Bull Shit they just trying to take my money making me go to Haiti, This is shit is fake too". So what's next.

I'm going to do Santeria or another Orisha practice. Same thing you get a reading done and ask what it cost. "The average price in the United States is between $8000 - $12 000. More if it's a warrior Orisha and some be up to $20,000. "This Is Bull You Say."

So now what may be a Palero. "That'll be a start of around $2,500 just for a initiation. So now they need to find something cheaper. So you pick Hoodoo, you look online and you find a online course like Lucky Mojo gives and it only cost $200, $300 dollars and you think.

" You mean I can become Pro in Hoodoo after intaking a 2 week course", and reading a few books, (that are badly writing books that nothing to do with real hoodoo). So you take the course and now you get you little certificate and a tarot deck and start calling yourself Papa and Mama and telling people your hoodoo is traditional and you been doing this for 10-15-20+ yrs. Only to promote a new business.

That's sad people. 😢😭

What happens now is when someone ask you for help you do a reading tell them what your going to do they say" WOW 😳 I never heard of that before" well that because I'm it a secret and my Hoodoo is different and you believe it because you can't check to see if this person is legit or not because now one really knows the real outside the real communities.

But if you pretend to be Houngan Asogwe voodoo priest or a Santero, or a Palero, or a Babalawo etc if you lie they'll know. Because if you can answer who your God parent is; or what this is or that means then we know you not a real priest.

All I'm saying is if you get into a practice do it for the right reasons, don't do it because you don't want to spend the money to become a priest and rather take a online course because it's cheaper. That's make the people who do train and practice for years look bad.

Hope Mikaelson Imagine: Hope's Twin sister, Harmony.

Joseph Morgan as Klaus Mikaelson

Phoebe Tonkins as Hayley Marshall

Danielle Rose Russell as Hope Andrea Mikaelson

AND

Laneya Grace as Harmony Eve Mikaelson

-----

Fact:

Everything is pretty much canon all the way up to season 5 of TO.

Hope and Harmony are fraternal twins, both gorgeous like their mother, but each taking after their perspective parents.

Both are powerful tribrids in their own right.

Hope was born 2 minutes before Harmony, making her the first born.

-----

Basically, everything that happened in The Originals still happened, but add in a second child.

For reasons unknown, when Hayley was kidnapped and gave birth, everyone was shocked to see her deliver a second baby girl, completely undetected in the womb. Hayley still dies and the witches just see this as double the sacrifice.

After Marcel rescues the twins from both witches and werewolves, he makes a comment on how he started humming a jazz tune to keep them calm and the second twin started to cry along to the music, saying they were creating the perfect Harmony.

Klaus: Harmony...(stares at his daughters before holding the first twin).

Amongst planning their next move after learning how the witches and werewolves are gunning for the twins, Hayley suggests they send them away until it's safe for them to return. Before they sent them away, Klaus and Hayley discussed names, leading their firstborn to be named Hope Andrea Mikaelson (for she would be the hope of the Mikaelson family and lead the beautiful life Hayley was unable to have as a Labonair) and their second-born to be named Harmony Eve Mikaelson (musical reference from Marcel, the foreseeable peace in the Mikaelson family, and named after Eve, the late untriggered Crescent wolf Hayley befriended who helped her learn more of her family heritage before her untimely death.)

Fast forward to season 2, when the twins return to New Orleans, Ester's surprise of Harmony existence leads her to believe that while Hope id the firstborn, Harmony's use magic in the womb, cloaking herself for the 9 months, thus leading Ester to believe Dahlia wouldn't just take Hope, but her sister too, for she was possibly more powerful than her sister. Luckily, Klaus's master plan saves the girls, while cursing Hayley and her pack for testing to take them away from him.

Season 3 and 4 are skipped ahead with the Mikaelson sibling living with pieces if the Hollow inside them.

Fast forward to season 5, in which both Hope and Harmony are 15. Despite the limited time she had with her father, she never brought in the the "All-powerful Witches" pitch Klaus and her family were selling, unlike her sister. To her, results are reflected by actions and after she and her sister were both possessed by the Hollow, she was almost afraid the practice magic for a time due to fear of misuse.

Harmony's personality is similar to her sister, but a stark contrast. While they both known for their good hearts and generosity:

Harmony is surprisingly Empathetic to Klaus's absence. When it comes to her feelings on her father's absence, she's a lot more understanding why most of her family had to stay away from her and her sister. Being partially possessed by the Hollow as a child left something dark behind, and as learning her family wonderful and horrible past, leaves leaves Harmony somewhat content with the idea it would never touch her again.

Takes after both her parents in Sarcasm

Unlike her sister, Harmony has no problem making friends in the Salvatore school, bordering a friendship to Josie.

Harmony never does anything impulsively without thinking of the consequences. And considering her whole life was started with a serious of impulsive actions, she finds no harm in thinking things through and seeing a rational side.

If Hope is Daddy's Little Girl, then Harmony is Mama's Girl. Hayley loves both of her girls, but Harmony stays by her side the most. She considers Hayley her role model and likes to believe she's invincible.

Harmony is crazy for knowledge. She loves learning new spells and, if possible, applying them to her hobbies.

Harmony takes a loving to music just as much as painting. Living in New Orleans has given her a love for colors and jazz music and applying them to music.

Where Hope is more easily capable of Forgiveness after being wronged , Harmony can hold a grudge. Because Harmony is extremely loyal to those deemed worthy, she doesn't just trust anyone.

Out of the two, Harmony's rage is worse than Hope's. Due to her magic and her fierce loyalty to loved ones, Harmony's anger is silent as it grows, making her keen to a timebomb that detonated when she chooses.

For all their bonds, Harmony is NOT afraid of Hope and doesn't hesitate to call her out on her actions, especially when she becomes restless for their father.

---

Taking in Harmony's personality, season 5 went like this:

Harmony was truly unaware that Hope was dealing in her blood until she gets expelled. Which pretty much leads to Harmony yelling at her for being so thoughtless about her identity as they were both were attending school under "Hope and Harmony Marshall" for their own protection, a similar scolding Hayley uses against Hope upon suspension.

Harmony, upon hearing that Hayley was missing, nearly killed herself upon teleporting herself from Virginia to New Orleans, where she found herself reunited with Klaus, who was less than pleased at his daughter's dangerous actions but understands her reasoning.

While both are worried for Hayley, Harmony feels suspicious when she realizes that their mother's disappearance and father's return was almost perfect timing, and doesn't help when Roman pops in, breaking into their home and getting closer to her sister.

Harmony loses it on Hope when she learns what she did to Hayley. Saying that she's completely become selfish, thoughtless and undeserving of their Mother's love, which Hope replies that she does, but Harmony quickly relays you don't play a dangerous game of "Would You Rather?" with the ones that love you the most. As pissed as she is, agrees to help her find and undo the cloaking spell on Hayley.

In regards to triggering their respective werewolf curses, Harmony states that her odds of actually triggering regards to whether or not it's out of self defense. It's her only consolation if she does kill someone. She also tells Hope she doesn't HAVE to activate it and just be comfortable being a witch. She also adds in how their parents have almost painless transformations, so it might not be so bad if it comes to it.

Once again, Hope and Harmony argue when she learns that Hope tried to bind her wolf side. Harmony, having extended knowledge about the ritual as it was done on Klaus, tries to tells her it's not worth it and that being a werewolf was a lineage inherited from both their parents, therefore shouldn't be thrown away because of fear.

When Hope and Roman run away from the Salvatore school, Harmony uses a spell that inadvertly leads her to the truth of who really has Hayley, causing her to follow in pursuit of her sister. When she finds them, she's too late as Hayley was reduced to just a vampire and in anger, helps Hope snap Roman's neck and rescue Hayley. Realizing that their mother could burn in the sun, Harmony starts thinking of spells to solve it when Hayley tells the girls to run, as the Purists will stop at nothing and they can reunite the Factions one day. However, before they can escape, Greta knocks them out.

When they awake and learn that Hayley was dead, Harmony distanced herself and left the room. She decided that since their mother's death was all Hope's fault, she wanted nothing to do with her anymore. She tries to argue this at her mother's funeral parade, but Freya convinces her and Hope to just keep up the appearance of grieving sisters/daughters. When the Nightwalkers show up, it's Hope's anger and pure Fury on Harmony's part that they destroy vans filled with purist vampires for disrupting Hayley's funeral. It becomes too much for Harmony when Hope yells at their dad's astral projection for not coming to the wake and yells at her, telling her that she everything that has happened was her fault due to her wanting answers to why Klaus ignored her and disregarding that Hayley was all they had until her selfish choices costed them their mother. Hope cries and yells in admittance that her sister is right and that she feels just as responsible and that Harmony isn't telling her anything she doesn't already feel. At the Bayou upon Hayley's burning, the sisters try to set aside their difference in saying goodbye to Hayley, resulting in Harmony taking her mother's moss agate necklace in remembrance (and after lowkey noticing Hope eyeing it, thus taking it first).

Harmony did not want to help Hope trap the Mikaelson siblings is the Chamber de Chasse to take and share an intake of the Hollow. For starters, she didn't want to touch the darkness it left behind inside her and it would defeat the purpose Hope's lesson on why meddling was bad enough. Hope rationalizes that if seeing this as a further punishment for her involvement if Hayley's death convinces her enough, then it won't be a problem. Conflicted as she's still angry but doesn't want that spirit to overtake her twin completely, she helps extract the Hollow and they split it.

Regarding Elijah's role in Hayley's death, from what she was told, unlike Hope, she doesn't blame him as she logically states how could he had helped someone he had no memory of knowing. She knew he was compelled to forget everyone for their safety and felt through the spell that, like Hope, he's just as tormented as with grief and guilt as she is. However, the Hollow is causing duress on both of them as it never stops talking and drives them insane. Realizing that what settles the Hollow is violence (from Hope clawing at Elijah magically and Harmony magically throwing her across the room at his defense), Klaus offers to help them. But upon realizing that they don't want to hurt him, Klaus brings them someone they do want to hurt: Roman.

Locking him in a dungeon in chains, Harmony watches in silence as Hope reels into him what they took from them in Hayley: Their best friend, grandmother of their children, and loving mother. However, as Hope is unable to kill him, Harmony steps in and magically brands him, inciting that, she'll never forgive him and ensures that branding be a permanent reminder of his actions as well as it burning him whenever Harmony's nearby. Both girls let him live. Later on, with the help of Antoinette and Elijah, the twins unleash a powerful pain affliction spell (with the Hollow's help) upon the remaining Purist vampires, killing them all. However, they soon learn that a human had been amongst them, thus activating their curses. It was Pastor Bill.

Klaus discovers that the Hollow is killing both of them, thus needing help from Davina and Carolina's twins to help safe them.

Upon their near death experience, they're reunited with Hayley, who tells them she's at Peace and forgives Hope. Harmony retorts that she'll never deserve it, which Hayley quickly shuts her down and says that they need to forgive each other as they only have each other for siblings, essentially asking her to forgive her as she knows she still loves her. Harmony can't, only able to tell her mother and Hope that while she can move on from her death, forgiveness isn't something she can grant Hope. She jokes about doing it in a few centuries before they return to the Land of the Living. They are able to at least ignore their problems at their Aunt Freya's wedding.

The night of their first Full Moon, Klaus helps them into the woods as they go through their first transformations. The Saltzman twins end up extracting the Hollow and the Mikaelson twins turn wolves, White and Gold respectively.

Upon learning that Klaus intends to die with the Hollow inside him, Hope is despairing that she'll be an orphan at 15. Harmony ridicules as she's not the only one who'll suffer, admitting that despite missing Klaus for years like her twin, she preferred to make the best of it with their mom. Harmony tells her while she agrees that nearly everything that's happened is almost the Perfect Punishment for the firstborn witch, she still loves her and that she'll lose just as much as she had regardless. Hope finally understands where her sister's anger comes from, as she truly had disregarded Harmony's wishes and feelings countless times for her own self pity and apologizes, which she accepts, even if it's not enough.

During the last goodbye dinner, Hope promises Klaus she'll make him proud and he and Harmony have a heart to heart, stating that while she is the vengefulness to her sister's mercifulness, he told her how surprised he was to learn she existed, as if a second chance to respond happily to a surprise pregnancy and though both twins share qualities from their parents, he tells her in confidence that she will be the of Harmony to emerge from years of chaos he and his family left behind. He's proud of her, mostly for keeping faith in him even when her sister didn't and sticking by her side regardless of her own pain.
