Working with Lucero

Today I made a bilongo (working) in order to have my Nkuyo assist in opening roads and opportunities for a business I started. The packet itself contains graveyard dirt (so Lucero can employ spirits of the dead) dirt from a marketplace, dirt from a crossroads, and dirt from a bank. The ntoto are very important. I added powdered palos (redwood, the tallest tree in our land, for good standing) and bay (laurel) leaf for general good luck. Added a gold dollar coin to focus the opportunities on those creating wealth. Wrapped it up in corn husk (like those used in tamales) who we have a tratado with for works. Let Lucero inspire the construction of the firmas and guide what was correct. Went splendidly!
