More Info on Saint Expedite
It comes to my attention that not all people will understand my references off the bat. I don't know what I didn't think to do this from the start but here goes:
All about Saint Expedite!
A.K.A Sainto Expedito, and Expeditus
It is said that Saint Expedite was a Solider for Hire and is depicted dressed as a Roman Centurion. He was said to be located in Armenia and became a Christian and was beheaded during the Diocletian Prosecution in 303 A.D. The Diocletian Prosecution was the last big push by the Roman Empire to stamp out Christianity as they are were the minority in the area and seen to pose a threat to local Roman Statesmen. From time to time the punishment changed for being Christian but a common punishment was to sacrifice them to the Roman Gods.
The most popular legend surrounding St. Expedite says that the day when he decided to become a Christian, Satan took the form of a crow (or a snake in some versions) and told him to defer his conversion until the next day, but Expeditus stamped on the bird and killed it, declaring, "I'll be a Christian today!"
There is also another story circulating that a church (either in France or NOLA) received a package with his figure on it that was marked "Expedite" and it was the only indication of a name for him.
What we know to be so today is St. Expedite does not procrastinate. If you have an emergency he is the right one to call upon. In Hoodoo offerings to Saint Expedite are pound cake, water, and fresh red flowers. If you offer him these items (usually the pound cake and the water will do) he will do anything in his power to help you as soon as possible if you spread word about his great deeds on a large scale (Like this blog! Also common is to submit a thank you to him in the paper or using websites like www.saintexpedite.org )
And this is what I do. I make people aware of him the best way I know how. Blogs and the internets. lol Today I come to thank him for getting me a lawyer in a hurry and keeping things fast paced in receiving my benefits. My life is forever changed because of him and I am eternally grateful.

Feasts for the Senses
So I've recently come up with the idea to help others facilitate their feasts for their Patron Spirits, or that is any Spirit they wish to honor. I'm scheduled for one next week and will be posting my progress and recipes as the come!

What I've been up to.
During my early and long absence, I've been working hard on getting some things in my shops worked out as well as getting some mundane things under control thanks to the giving and kind lady Auset I have a clear head. Thanks to the Great St. Expedite I have the car payment payed. Thank you both. I'll be getting back to blogging soon.
