The year 2012 is a shared year, ruled by Papa Ogun (the force of fire, faith and strength) and Papa Agwe (the force of light and direction). The message for the year 2012 gives a blueprint for using the strength of Ogun and the sails of Agwe, while also bringing knowledge about critical anchor months. The Loa Baron Criminel, who came in possession on Gro Mambo Angélá Noványón Idizol during the Ghede Ceremony at LePeristyle Haitian Sanctuary on the night of November 12, 2011, gave the message for the upcoming New Year, 2012.

This message speaks about life and living, the power of drama and how to sail through 2012 in tranquility. The predictions for 2012 begin with a reference to the guidance given for the year 2011 and a review of the powers that dominated the year 2011. The power of a year flows from the power of prior years. It is important to be aware of the powers of the past in order to understand the powers of a year that has not yet been lived. The guidance for 2011 was to “be a spade for yourself,” meaning to make a clear, unemotional assessment of your character and behavior on an on-going basis. The powers ruling 2011 (being a spade, surety and unsurety) are essential preparation for the year 2012 and must be appeased in order for the guidance given for the year 2012 to be effective.

The message for the year 2012 brings a new perspective for living in the coming year. It presents a blueprint for action and understanding. It is a guide to show you the best time for financial investments, entrepreneurial thrusts, love, family, and health. The reading of the year tells you what to avoid and how to take advantage of the best opportunities for the year 2012.

The divine force spoke of life and living, explaining the relationship between the wealth of life and the wealth of the land. You are living in life, which is from the wealth of the land. The wealth of the land spreads into the wealth of life. Life has a season and the deeds done during that season determine the remembrance of that life.

Drama is a monster. It is a power as old as the world. Everyone understands it. What people do not realize is that, once invoked, drama cannot be controlled. It destroys. Drama must be avoided in 2012 because this is a year in which emotions will run high. In order to have tranquility you must avoid drama.

The Loa said that the year belongs to two forces: Papa Ogun and Papa Agwe. Some will only see Papa Ogu present in the year because they see the earthquakes, fires and all the other devastations that will come out of the heat of the Petro. On the other hand, the people who can see these two powers will, as a result, do well in business. The year 2012 will provide opportunities for gain in the midst of inflation and economic crises. Those who only see Papa Agwe will think of tornadoes, gale force winds, floods, possible tsunamis and things coming out of the sea that can bring much devastation, destruction and death. On the other hand, those who are seeing Agwe present in the year, but not necessarily focused on the destruction and devastation, could see the good fortune that comes on the wind when things are blown their way. Following the guidance of the spiritual force by changing the way you do business and handle your fortunes will bring enormous benefits in 2012
