*** Stephanie Bernard = The information is vital to our progress in understanding tradition…knowing the origin of ritual/practices helps me a great deal. I am not a scholar, but I am a learner. That said, I found interesting similarities between this tradition and Egun as I know it through the Lukumi/Yoruba tradition. The raffia and palm frond dress reminds me of how I saw Babaluaye represented in Brazil. Thank you again… There is so much to learn!

***Imodoye Shabazz = Our blessing has arrived. The Cuban coffee and Nigerian fufu is still warm but don’t forget the grits from Black Atlantis and sweet bread from Port o l Prince. A number one teacher with first hand experience with the Elders in the bush. One of the few who have and play the consecrated Bata drums. And who speak 3 or 4 languages and have traveled all over the continent. I was there when Chief Fama came from Nigeria to her first Bembe they began to play to Ifa and she remarked after dancing wow……what African country are they from? We sing those songs at home in Nigeria. Ifa Gba wao.
Be Mindful Of Your Self-Talk = It’s A Conversation With The Universe… Giant Egg Remained Forever: In the shell of this Egg had four horizontal lines and next to the lines had twelve points in two rows of six. These marks were the signs of those immortal living in Heaven.
“If You Break A Coconut On A Man’s Head – He Will Not Enjoy Eating It.”
Let’s look at the Coconut as a metaphor for one’s head and by extension, wisdom. We know that in Yoruba, Coconut (Agbon) refers to wisdom by the common use of “Agboniregun” (Wisdom of Reproach) to describe the prophet Orunmila in various Odu-Ifa. A Coconut is also like a person’s mind in that there are strong defenses on the outside and something very desirable on the inside: Potential Agreement!! If we see our proverb as the communication between two people, the teaching is that in order to come to a consensus one must make some sacrifice so that the desired idea is accepted. We cannot succeed forcing our ideas onto other people. Aboru Aboye Abosise O !!!
***felix marinho = Babá, parabéns pelo excelente blog , e obrigado por compartilhar conosco sua sabedoria. Sua abenção. PS.: Quando puder, gostaria que o senhor nomear-se e descreve as fotos que estão a ilustrar os textos. São muito interessantes, mas ficamos sem saber o seu significado.
***Lashawn Davis = Happiness I Salute you your information I must say is Greatness you shared the keys I have been looking for concerning the Ori .

***Cage of The Soul = How grateful I am on finding your site. For your site has filled in so many missing parts for me as I continue on my personal journey of self. Thank you! Ashe!!!
***Amelia Barnes = Something that other religious groups don’t consider or think enough about. If the thought about how Ancestors don’t want to be forgotten was truly understood then communications would be a norm. I have the blessings of communicating with spirit at times & it’s delightful to hear from them. There are those who either see, smell or hear a spirit so what’s up? Let’s not forget love ones, friends or family especially knowing one day you’ll be one!!!
