Mountain of Spirit's Manje Gede Ceremony celebrates the Gede, the Dead, and all of our Ancestors. The Gede are Ancestors, but not all Ancestors are Gede.
The Gede represent the dead, and you may petition them for assistance in many situations in your life. If you are having trouble owning a property, conceiving a child, receiving an influx of clientele in your business, need protection for you and your family, and more - the Gede may assist you with this.
This is a Ceremony that is open to the community - you are welcome to bring a petition and an offering, or you may just come to celebrate your Ancestors with rhum and tobacco while receiving the blessings of the Ceremony.
If you cannot attend the Ceremony in-person, you are still welcome to participate from afar. Your petition may be sent to our Botanica. For your offering, you have the option of either sending physical cash, or digital friends & family payment. Details are listed below.
To attend in-person, there is a dress code of Black and Purple; you must dress modestly and respectfully. All women must cover their heads with a muchwa to enter.
We look forward to celebrating our Ancestors with our community.
Ayibobo, -MountainofSpirit
