Lyrics
The Sealing Of The Veil
(Ritual Invocation Poem)
The Canopy is closing —
The veil is about to be sealed.
🗝️ Elegua, trickster of crossroads,
Open us a Way
Through the unseen,
Where destiny bends like wind-blown grass.
🧿 Elegba, keeper of the keys,
Place in our palms
The code to unlock our becoming.
👣 Egungun, ancestors dressed in memory,
Guide us on our path
With feet wrapped in wisdom
And drums echoing the truth
Of all we’ve survived.
⚡ Shango, light up the skies —
So we may see
Past the clouds of our struggles,
To the lightning-writ prophecy
Etched in thunder.
🌪️ Oya, fierce mother of change,
Carry us through the storms
On winds that do not break
But transform.
💛 Oshun, golden grace on the river’s curve,
Teach us to see
The beauty even in the flood —
The honey hidden in the rain.
🌊 Yemaya, mother of oceans,
Call us back
To the deep waters of remembrance
Where we cleanse
And begin again.
🌌 On the way back home —
To our Fathers:
🌊 Olokun, keeper of mysteries below,
☁️ Obatala, sculptor of light and form —
We return.
Ase O. Ase O.
The Veil is Sealed.
The Journey Begins.
