Today we celebrate the full moon in conjunction with the annual celebration for the goddess 𞤢𞤴𞤭𞥊𞥁𞤢𞤲 Ayìzan. This is a wonderful time of spirit power for us. It is most auspicious. This is a time to manifest things started during a New Moon.
All full and new moons are dedicated to the 𞤳𞤹𞤲𞥆𞤹𞤧𞤭/𞤥𞤭𞤲𞤮𞤲𞤢 Kɛnnɛsi/Minona (𞤭𞥊𞤴𞤢𞥉𞤢𞥈𞤥𞤭 𞤮𞥊𞤧𞤮𞥊𞤪𞤮𞥊𞤲𞤺𞤫 Ìyáàmi Òsòròngá in Yorùbá Ìṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tradition). This is a time to offer boiled eggs, rice, and plenty of palm oil to these Great Mothers. In ideal situations, a woman of the household will offer these between 17-21 our time (roughly between 12 am and 4 am Gregorian time). As much effort should be made to do these at the appropriate time. If this is not possible, the offerings should be done as late on the full and new moons as possible. When presenting the offerings, one should chant the following praise names of the Kɛnnɛsi 3 times.
