About a week or two ago I came home, and there was a chicken bone on my step. I stared at it for a few seconds and thought that it may have come from one of the cats that linger around the neighborhood. I instantly knew that it didn't come from my house since we are vegetarians, and chicken has never entered my home, plus it looked old. Anyway, I kicked it off of the porch, into the bushes.
A few days ago, my hubby and I came home and he walked right over it without acknowledging it. I wondered how he walked over it without seeing it. I looked down and said, "whats the deal with this chicken bone?" He said, "what?, I don't know". It was strategically placed.
Even though the last occurence was days ago, it just popped in my head this morning to look it up. I think someone is sitting those bones there. Whats the deal w/ this?
Vodoun
Mawiyah Kai EL-Jamah Bomani
Being from New Orleans, vodoun, is a prevalent practice in my familial lineage. It wasn't until I was much older that i realized so was Ifa and so I adore them both. We (the children under my mother's tuteledge) were always taught how to protect ourselves from unsavory charaters choosing to demonize the beautiful religion of VODOUN. With that said, I do not recall chicken bones being used in that way (except to bring about fear to the blind person who knows nothing of the rites). They (chicken bones) can be used as any oracle to forecast life's pleasant and unpleasant moments (a sort of reading of the bones). In this case the bones become a permanent fixture near one's altar space they are sacred emblems of communicating with ancestral beings. What appears to be the case is as my sisters stated (someone hoping to bring forth within you a sense of fear and despair). Once you succumb, to these emotions, then you will know doubt cause negativevity to grab hold of your life. If you feel you need to cleanse your space wash your steps in sea salt, florida water, morning urine, and perfume, or scrub your steps/porch in red brick. You can also (opt instead to) throw moth balls near the area surrounding the entrance to your home. Coffee grounds (fresh but small amount) tossed (daily)near that area can also take away negative energy from people whose hearts are not in the right place.
thank you
A third of my family is from New Orleans and we were brought up not knowing what it was, just that it was some sort of devilishment. thank you BOTH for your comments. I had/have no fear about the occurences, just a little bit of anger of someone having audacity to be on my property. LOL. I know that one can only to you what you allow, if I believe in magic beans, then I'll get magic! (smile)

is it voodoo
As a practitioner of Yoruba and a student of diasporic spiritual systems including voodoo and hoodoo I can honestly say that I have never heard of someone using chicken bones on steps to "hex" "cross" or otherwise harm and individual. That's not to say that it doesn't exist, I just really don't know.
What i do know is that, as with any attempt to harm someone else, the bones, feathers, animal remains are just "window dressing" the real harm comes in your belief that they can harm you. When your mind gives power to the object it becomes real and then the trouble begins.
The universe will react you your act of giving up your power and giving in to fear coupled with "lower vibrations" and ill thoughts of the person who seeks to harm you. "Became..Become..." is right ill actions yeild more of the same If i were you I would continue to remove the chicken bones from my steps, stay clear and away from fear and pray for the elevation of the fool who tried to harm you

Its voodoo
Lower vibrations-ignorance and arrogance .
Your presence was felt by those who dont understand it, seek to control it, and wish in their ignorance and arrogance to manipulate it. This is not to be the bringer of bad news, The only way to counter the situation is to begin actively seeking even higher peace. Powerful peace is the bridegroom of triumphant truth.
I dont know what your beliefs are but I can tell you that the King of righteousnees is laughing on his throne, for those who do wickedness against the spirit essence of you are working it against themselves, we are all one.
So be ever peaceful. read books that transcend ordinary understanding and experience life in ways that reward even more unreachable levels of peace, this will put you further out of the reach of evil doers,and the understanding will give you power over their ignorance and their arrogance.
More Peace.
