SAINT OF THE DAY (November 3)

St. Martin de Porres was born on 9 December 1579 in Lima, Peru, as the son of Spaniard Juan de Porres and a freed colored-woman from Panama, Ana Velasquez.

Being of mixed race, Martin was of a lower social caste, though his father looked out for him and made sure the boy was apprenticed in a good trade.

Martin studied to be a barber, which, at that time, meant that he also learned medicine.

He became very well known for his compassion and skill as a barber, and cared for many people as well as animals.

Eventually, he became a third order Dominican, which meant he was a lay man associated with the order, living at the monastery.

Though he longed to be a missionary, he was never afforded the opportunity.

Martin's prayer life was intense, and he practiced many mortifications. He was known to levitate in ecstasy in front of the altar, but he also subjected himself to many severe penances.

He was considered to be very wise. Many sought out his advice and intercession.

He died on 3 November 1639, and though the investigation of his life proceeded rapidly after his death, his candidacy for canonization was delayed over 300 years due to a series of delays, natural disasters, and shipwrecks.

He was beatified by Pope Gregory XVI on 29 October 1837. He was canonized by Pope John XXIII on 6 May 1962.

He is the patron saint of mixed-race people, barbers, innkeepers, public health workers, animals, and all those seeking racial harmony.

Wit vs Skill is interesting bc frankly it doesn’t seem Morally Great to be messing around with other people’s minds

(Also I just think it’d be real cool to connect with animals)

#Farseer lb #Also interesting how Christian saints frequently have good rapport w/ animals??? #IRT that last reblog about St martin de Porres lol

Do you ever think that the saints ever blend into Simon Templars day to day? Like he's just walking around and Martin de Porres is just shredding someones fashion choices in the back of his mind. Or ST is trying to case a museum but Thomas Garnet just Wont Shut Up about the art on display

hi! and thanks for the ask. i genuinely love this question!

as amusing as it would be to have all the "Saints" in the back of his head all the time, i honestly think it boils down to the bigger question if Simon has like multiple personality disorder or a form of schizophrenia.

personally, i think Simon is *himself* and just relies on the Saints as alias' to get him out of situations and to protect his identity. I don't genuinely think he embraces their personalities or that they are *part* of him at a psychological level. there could be an argument for the contrary, however.

and now i just can't get over Martin absolutely decimating me about my fashion choices and i'm giggling over it, so thank you so much for this. <3

Gede Family (Haitian Vodou)

The Gede (French: Guede) are the family of lwa that represent the powers of death and fertility. All are known for the drum rhythm and dance called the "banda". They negotiate between the realms of death and life.

The Gedés are spirits and guardians of the dead. The dead reside in the cemetery, but so do liminal spirits who straddle the frontier between life and death.

Papa Gede: is the corpse of the first man who ever died. He is recognized as a short, dark man with a high hat on his head who likes to smoke cigars. Papa Gede is a psychopomp who waits at the crossroads to guide souls into the afterlife. He is a great healer when it's a life and death situation. He is considered the good counterpart to Baron Samedi. He's also the patron of young children and If a child is dying, Papa Gede is prayed to. He will not take a life before its time, and he always protect the little ones.

However, he is also the patron of young children and a great healer, when there is a life or death situation.

If you have business in the cemetery, especially of a magical nature, it may be best to propitiate Papa Gedé. If you are planning any sort of expedition (digging for graveyard dirt; taking cemetery rocks, communing with the dead, raising the dead), it might be wise to give him a heads-up.

Maman Brigitte ("Mother Bridget") is the wife of Baron Samedi. She is syncretized with St. Brigid, perhaps because she is the protector of crosses and gravestones.

Now some may say that Gran Brigit is not presented as white and she may not be, ai consider her to be a light skinned black woman. When you have a lwa spirit who embody death, such as her and her husband Bawon Samdi, sometimes they can often appear pale because they are deceased. They are other spirits that do portray themselves passing for white like Damballah Wedo, Agwe Tawoyo, Ezili Freda, Ogou Sen Jak, and others.

For practitioners of Haitian Vodoun and the New Orleans Voodoo religion, Maman Brigitte is one of the most important loa. Associated with death and cemeteries, she is also a spirit of fertility and motherhood.

She can be called on for a number of different matters. Like healing—particularly of sexually transmitted diseases—and fertility, as well as divine judgement. She's known to be a mighty force when the wicked need to be punished. If someone suffers from long term illness, Maman Brigitte can step in and heal them, or she can ease their suffering by claiming them with death.

"We here in New Orleans call upon Mama Brigitte to clear our path of negativity and evil, to help our memory and to bring us the protection and wisdom of our Ancestors and Spirit Guides."

Brav Gede: is the guardian and watchman of the graveyard. He keeps the dead souls in and the living souls out. He is sometimes considered an aspect of Nibo.

Gede Bábáco: is Papa Guede's lesser known brother and is also a psychopomp. His role is somewhat similar to that of Papa Guede, but he doesn't have the special abilities of his brother.

Gede Nibo (Haitian Creole) is a lwa who is leader of the spirits of the dead in Haitian Vodou. Formerly human, Gede Nibo was a young man who was violently killed.

After death, he was adopted by Baron Samedi and Maman Brigitte. Nibo wears a black riding coat or drag. He is a intermediary between the living and the dead. And is the patron of those who died by unnatural causes (disaster, accident, misadventure, or violence). He can help to give a voice to the dead spirits whose bodies have not been found or that have not been reclaimed from "below the waters".

"Baron of Criminals" is the enforcer of the Gede. He was the first person to kill another (probably Nibo). As the first murderer, he is master of those who murder or use violence to harm others. He is called apon to help the families murder victims and the abused pray to him to get revenge on those who wronged them.

He is syncretized with St. Martin de Porres, perhaps because his feast day is November 3, the day after Fèt Gede.

Baron LaCroix, Baron Samedi’s brother, is the cemetery groundskeeper: he maintains the graves. He is one of the Gede, a lwa of the dead and sexuality along with Baron Samedi and Baron Cimetière in Vodou. He is syncretized with Saint Expeditus. Baron La Croix is also known as Azagon Lacroix.

He is generally not invoked but avoided as he allegedly kills on contact. Should you find yourself in trouble with him, you should contact his brother Baron quickly for assistance.

Baron Cimetière is one of the Gede, a spirit of the dead, along with Baron Samedi and Baron La Croix in Vodou. He is said to be the guardian of the cemetery, protecting its graves.

Ghede Masaka and Ghede Oussou Known as the twins, these two Loa are Haitian Voudou’s gravediggers gifted with divine insight. Masaka is depicted as an androgynous or transgender male who assists Ghede Nibo, while Oussou is his rum-loving brother dressed in opposite colors.

Baron Del Cementario: Although technically Baron Del Cementario’s name is the Spanish version of the French Baron Cimitière, (they are not the same spirit.) In the Vodou traditions of the Dominican Republic, the first man buried in a cemetery becomes that cemetery’s Baron Del Cementario. To identify or contact him, locate his grave. In Dominican tradition, Baron Del Cementario is the Baron with the closest relations with the living, perhaps because he, unlike most Barons, has had a relatively recent human incarnation.

JustBaron Del Cementario is contacted or invoked in the cemetery at midnight. Enter by one gate; make your offerings and petition, then leave by another gate, not the one by which you entered. Throw nine coins over your left shoulder (have them ready in your pocket) and then go home via a circuitous route without looking back.

More Catholic/Christian cultural vibes.

Not only am I very much a "Bleeding Heart Like Jesus" 'Christian'

But also Voodoo is a key part of my spirituality. It was initially just to stay covert, but each Loa (Spirit/diety) is tied to a Christian Saint. But eventually it has evolved to where the Saints are also now figures one can call upon in Voodoo.

The Saints are wonderful. Saint Martin de Porres is the coolest though

ooh very cool! I hope 🤞 to visit NoLo this summer and hopefully learn a little more about voodoo. Thinking of this quote from Aurora Levins Morales, about being born at the crossroads [of culture.] Folk/Ethnic expressions of Catholicism/Christianity are like that--a reflection of the ancestors and history and resilience and the new.

And yes! St. Martin de Porres!! He's very inspirational. For reference, St. Martin de Porres is the patron of mixed-race people, barbers, public health workers, and innkeepers.
