Dancing with the Orisha/Yemonja
Dancing with the Orishas/Yemonja has her Night!
Last night, I had the honor to be invited to the 28th Year Celebration of Yemonja by my African Family/friends Omi Aladora Ajamu and Baba Olomide
Omi’s elder brother Baba Owheno opened the ceremony after some jams by one of the local Afro pop bands led by Femi on the drums and vocals..
I am most often the only white person or one of a few white folks present at these events and over some 17 years, I have been accepted as family by this family of Priests.
Some of the young Priests[Yawos, newly initiated’brides”of the Orisha] were Omi’s sons who I had known since they were knee high. it was so wild seeing them towering over me now with children of their own.
