Ceremonies of Sanse
Sansistas have many different types of ceremonies that we conduct for both the public and private individuals. Here you will find some of the more common ceremonies:
Misa Espiritual-
This is a Spiritual Mass. This is a public ceremony, where Sansistas, calling upon their guides and Misterios give important spiritual messages to different members of the Congregation.
This is the most commonly done public ceremony. This is also sometimes referred to as a Sanse itself.
Unlike Cuban practitioners of Misas, in Sanse, just like in Espiritsmo, a Misa is an open forum for any and all Spirits. These Misas help the congregants and the Sansistas alike. By doing the Misa (or working the Misa as it is known), Sansistas do charity and thus elevate and further unravel their spiritual abilities.
And the public benefit by receiving the prophesizes, getting healed, being cleansed spiritually, etc.
Fiesta Espiritual-
Similair to the Misa, but this is done without a table. This is also a public ceremony. In this ceremony, it is common to have music (either by drums or some other source) and the Sansistas gather, dance and call upon their Cuadros to give messages, prophesize, cleanse, heal, and resolve issues for the congregants.
Velacion-
This is a public ceremony. It is a prayer ceremony and a ceremony of elevation. In this ceremony many candles are lit. As above, predictions and spiritual messages are given to the public.
There are various types of velaciones as well.
As you can see, something that is very important in all Sanse Ceremonies is prophesizing, giving spiritual messages, and helping people resolve their problems.
Unlike other ATRs, whose public ceremonies mostly focus on Spiritual Possession of it’s initiates, Sanse encourages the development of all one’s faculties. During public ceremonies, messages and prophesizes are passed by Sansistas possessed or not (using their other spiritual faculties)
In Sanse, the name of a Spirit is not so much important as the message it gives. Does the message assist, help or guide the person in some positive way? Is it true? Does it reveal something?
We are not interested in people who get “possessed” and just dance around shaking people’s hands. I am not saying this doesn’t have it’s place, but in Sanse we are focusing on the positive development of one’s Spiritual Abilities, Practices , Cuadro and Spirits so that they can truly assist the individual in some concrete way.
As far as private ceremonies, I will go into those further in the initaition pages of this site.
I agree! Why a Lwa or Orisha will come down from his domain to walk around shaking hands and not give a message to his childen. I don’t understand that.
