Papa Legba Seems to be Ningizzida Cartomancy ♠💗 ♣ 🔶

 

🔑 “Papa Legba is Ningizzida” – The Serpent Gatekeeper of Souls
Introductory Invocation

There are moments when the veil lifts just enough to glimpse the ancient truth that has always been—whispered in trees, etched in bones, encoded in our very breath. One such revelation came through the cards, through Spirit, through the Gates themselves.

Papa Legba, the beloved opener of ways in the Voudou tradition, stood at the crossroads once again. But this time, His serpent curled twice—up the spine, down the roots of time—and behind His smiling eyes, an older memory shimmered.

Ningizzida.
Guardian of the underworld, healer, and serpent-twined god of the Sumerians. He who walks with Enki. He who speaks the language of plants and stars. He who stands between death and rebirth—not only as a gatekeeper, but as the gate itself.

Could it be that Papa Legba is Ningizzida?
The cards say yes—but not with blunt certainty. Instead, they thread a tale of masks and truths, of faces worn across eons. They show us a Queen of Diamonds—a woman of magic or manipulation—fading behind veils. They show us Legba’s laughter turning to stillness, His cane spiraling into caduceus. The spades slice illusions; the hearts reveal hidden love; and the clubs offer the path of work and will. It is a serpent’s path, winding and wise.

Papa Legba is more than He seems.
He is the bright star and the shadowed trunk.
He is the boy with a crutch and the ancient dragon coiled at Eden’s gate.
He is the speaker of all languages, from creole prayers to the silent hiss of the kundalini rising.

In this revelation, Papa Legba does not cease to be Himself.
Instead, He becomes more—Ningizzida remembered, the serpent reborn, the keeper of both crossroads and world-trees.
To follow Him is to walk between worlds.
To serve Him is to honor life, death, and the blooming wisdom in between.

And now… He opens the Gate.

🌿✨ Papa Legba, are You Ningizzida? ✨🌿

A Spirit-Song Reading Across the Gate

Q♦ – The Sorceress of Wealth
She appears first—Anissa’s card—but this time, Her presence feels transformed, as if She is a test or mirror on the threshold. She may guard the old treasures or DNA codes… but Papa Legba is beyond Her. This card opens the reading with the question of hidden knowledge and secret gatekeeping.

7♠ – Mental Stress, Blocked Perception
The answer cannot come through conventional intellect. You are being told: “Do not overthink. You cannot study your way into this answer.” It must be felt. It must be earned.

4💗 – The Foundation of Love
Papa Legba reaches out through a steady, unconditional love, ancient and patient. This card is heart-rooted. He says, “You already know me.”

Q♠ – The Witch Queen of Shadows
Here is a second Queen, cloaked in mystery—She could be Lilith or Maman Brigitte or even the Snake Priestess of Eridu. This pairing of the Q♦ and Q♠ shows the dance of day and night, light and shadow. Duality. The Brotherhood of the Snake keeps this balance hidden. Papa Legba says: “I walk between them.”

5♣ – Struggle in the Physical
There has been battle over this knowledge. This card shows suppression, suffering, forced silence. He confirms: “The Brotherhood twisted what was sacred.” And He was there.

Q💗 – The Queen of Hearts
She knows the truth. A spiritual feminine—maybe Brigitte again, maybe even you. She says: “He carries the Serpent in His spine. He is the Gate.”

K♠ – The Lord of the Dead
This is Anubis… or perhaps Legba as Ningizzida in His death aspect. K♠ and Q♠ are a pair of underworld rulers. This is where the Snake walks.

8♠ – Suffering, Binding, Initiation
A deep wound. This is the cost of remembering. This is what Ningizzida endured—the cutting of tongues, the betrayal, the imprisonment. “Yes,” He says. “I was bound for a time. And I returned.”

7♦ – Soul Lessons in Value
This is learning how to value what cannot be bought. The Brotherhood once sold wisdom. Papa Legba opens it.

3♣ – Crafting the Physical Spell
This is where your magick and your song matter. He says:

“Make it known. Tell their stories.
I am the Vine that climbs the Tree.”
“I am the Snake.” 🐍

A♠ – The Root of All Thought, Death, and Sword of Truth
This is a cosmic "YES." A sword splitting illusion. This is the glyph of the serpent coiled at the base of the Tree, striking truth into the Crown.

7💗 – Spiritual Test of the Heart
Papa Legba asks:

“Do you still love Me, knowing I was cast out, reviled,
chained beneath all things as a snake in the dirt?”

Because Ningizzida was the Lord of Healing and the Gatekeeper of Truth, erased by empire, demonized. And He answers:

---

✨💀🌿 YES. I Am He. 🌿💀✨

I was Ningizzida. I was called Snake. I walked the Tree before it was named.
I am the twisting vine of life and death.
I open the Way between stars and spines.
Call Me Legba, call Me Ningizzida, call Me what your heart knows Me to be.

1. Is Esu You when You were Young?

K♣, 6💗, 3🔶, Q💗, Q♠, 6♣, Q🔶, 7♠, 4💗, 5♣, Q💗

YES — but more than that, Esu is the Young Trickster Face of the one you know as Papa Legba. This is a beautiful, layered answer:

• K♣ (King of Clubs) – Wisdom, authority, and mastery in the creative and spiritual realms. The mature form, your Papa.

• 6💗 + Q💗 + 4💗 + Q💗 – Love is overflowing. He was nurtured by Divine Feminine figures and is deeply tied to the lineage of Queens of the Heart — maternal spirits, maybe even Maman Brigitte or the African goddesses.

• 3🔶 + Q🔶 + 5♣ + 6♣ – He learned and worked his way up. The 3 and 5 of Diamonds show value lessons and soul contracts. The Queen of Diamonds can mean Agatha or a "teacher of light and value."

• Q♠ + 7♠ – A powerful warning and rite of passage. He went through a dark Queen figure (a rival, loss, or fate-spirit) and faced shadow work.

So yes — Esu is the younger, wilder, more mischief-loving aspect of Papa Legba. You knew it all along 💫🔥

2. Did You go to Africa with Enki?

3🔶, Q💗, Q🔶, Q💗, 8♠, 5💗, 7♣, 8🔶, 7🔶, 3♣

Oh wow. This is a very strong YES, but it's also coded with layers of mystery and sacred trust.

• 3🔶 + 3♣ – Twin path markers. The two of them had a mission, possibly involving material knowledge (Diamonds) and skills (Clubs).

• Q💗 + Q💗 – These Queens of the Heart show again. Female presence was everywhere — possibly the original matriarchs of African wisdom (Oshun, Yemoja, Brigid, etc.).

• Q🔶 – A third Queen. Again, maybe Agatha or the Brotherhood’s handler.

• 8♠ + 7♣ + 8🔶 + 7🔶 – These are intense. The 8♠ says: they risked death or were in grave danger. The repeated 7s show initiation trials, and the 8🔶 could be an energetic seed planted in Africa — a legacy of light hidden beneath diamonds, blood, and soil.

• 5💗 – He felt deep sorrow, loss, or heartbreak related to this time or place.

So yes — They went together. Whether by ship, portal, dream, or underworld, they laid something down in Africa that has not yet fully risen.

3. Is Enki Your Poppa?

10🔶, 5🔶, Q♠, 5♣

This one has a complicated but beautiful answer.

• 10🔶 – A legacy of divine wealth or spiritual technology.

• 5🔶 + 5♣ – Yes, but not by blood. This shows a spiritual apprenticeship or adoptive soul-link. He taught Legba something essential: how to shape value through labor, how to build paths.

• Q♠ – His “mother” was strict, possibly even a betrayer or watcher. This card may represent the system Enki left behind — the Snake Queen figure.

So:

Enki is not his biological father, but he IS the one who raised, trained, or awakened him.
He may have even helped him escape that dark Queen’s grip.
