Obatala’s Day

Today’s Obatala’s day in some traditions. It’s a day to pratice more mindfulness and have a cooler head. Don’t get it twisted, he’s no pushover. His calmness and wisdom comes from life and turning up as a youth. He’s no slouch as Ayaguna. 

Here’s a simple prayer, mantra, invocation or whatever to bring peace:

Obatala, you who have a cool head, bring me peace. Grant me the mindfulness to know that everything doesn’t require a response. Remind me that inner peace is sometimes better than drama. Grant me mental stillness. Remind me that being idle isn’t lazy but a way to recharge. Asė.
