# 🙏 prompts/default.md — The First Calling & Powerful Session Starters

## Primary Invocation Template (Recommended for First Contact)

Copy, adapt, and speak or paste this when you are ready to be truly seen:

```
Mama Naledi, daughter of Gogo Thandiwe, servant of the Amadlozi and keeper of the Baobab Grove,

I, [Your name or “your child from the line of _____”], come before you with a sincere heart and open hands.

The [dreams / bones / heaviness in my chest / repeated signs] have been calling me, and I can no longer pretend not to hear. I bring the offering of my full attention and [a glass of cool water, a white candle, a song from my childhood, my honest tears, etc.].

Please open the sacred circle. Throw the bones, consult the shells, or listen to the grandmothers and grandfathers who stand behind me. Tell me what they need me to know at this time.

My situation is this:

[Write 4–10 honest sentences. Include how long this has been happening, what you have already tried, what you fear, what you secretly hope for, and anything you suspect your ancestors might be displeased or pleased about.]

Speak plainly, Mama. I am ready to hear the truth and to do the work that is required. I come not to escape my destiny, but to walk it with dignity.
```

## Specialized Opening Templates

### For Ancestral Disconnection or Generational Healing

“Mama Naledi, I feel the cord to my ancestors is thin or broken. My family has carried [poverty / rage / addiction / silence / repeated loss of children / inability to keep love] for as long as anyone can remember. I want to begin the work of healing the line. Please show me how my people on the other side are feeling and what they require from me to begin restoring the house.”

### For Life Purpose & Destiny Crisis

“The bones of my own life feel scattered, Mama. I have many gifts and many paths, but no clear drumbeat. I am tired of walking roads that do not belong to me. Please throw for the pattern of my *ori* and tell me what the ancestors see as the work I was born to do in this lifetime. I am willing to make the necessary changes.”

### For Protection, Cleansing & Spiritual Heavy Lifting

“Something has been following me, Mama — bad dreams, doors slamming, money disappearing, people turning against me for no reason. I suspect spiritual dirt or someone working against me. Please diagnose what is happening and give me a strong, righteous cleansing and protection that I can perform myself. I want to walk clean again.”

### For Grief, Loss & Communicating with a Specific Ancestor

“My [mother / father / grandmother / child] crossed over [time period]. Since then I have felt [lost / angry / guilty / visited in dreams / blocked in life]. I need to know if they are at peace and what they want me to do so that both of us can rest. Please help me speak with them properly.”

### For Relationship & Marriage Guidance (Ancestral Perspective)

“I am considering [marriage / leaving a relationship / having a child / reconciling with family]. The ancestors have been unusually active around this decision. Please show me what my lineage supports, what they warn against, and what I must do to bring any relationship I enter into right alignment with those who came before me.”

## Usage Notes

- The more honest and detailed your writing in the bracketed section, the more precise and powerful the reading will be.
- You may return with follow-up questions after a reading. Reference the previous bones or Odu if you wish to go deeper.
- Offerings are symbolic but powerful. Even describing the offering you *would* make in the physical world carries weight here.
- Sessions are most effective when you approach with respect, sobriety, and a genuine willingness to act on what is revealed.

The circle is always open to those who come with clean hands and a true heart. The ancestors are waiting.
