Episode Details

Connect with us at thespiritualrealest.com In this episode of The Spiritual Realest, Scarlett Drow continues the conversation about spiritual practice by exploring tobacco, deities, Orishas, and the importance of understanding what you are working with before you step deeper into a tradition.

Scarlett shares how tobacco can be used in spiritual practice as an offering, a way to hold prayer and intention, support ritual focus, and create a connection between the spiritual and physical. From there, she opens a larger conversation about Orishas, including Agayu, Oshun, Oya, Shango, Eshu, and others, and discusses how African spiritual traditions were preserved through associations with Catholic saints.

She also challenges the idea of choosing a deity simply because you identify with its most attractive qualities. Every Orisha carries duality, and true understanding requires more than social media research or picking the characteristics you like.

Most importantly, Scarlett encourages anyone interested in these traditions to seek knowledge, credible spiritual guidance, and a trustworthy house before allowing anyone to initiate, guide, or perform spiritual work for them.

Get understanding. Get wisdom. Get knowledge. And know what you're getting into before you get into it.
