Yes, Ifee, they are. We all have that distant memory and the memory may not come up as a memory in our minds, but as a feeling within us. But it is a feeling deep to the core, so we must be able to discern the difference. Because on this Earth emotions are what works within the human body that the spirit inhabits.

I like to brag about certain things of my culture but I am cautious on somethings because a “nu everything mek fi talk” I am appalled that America have any knowledge of Guinea hen weed and such…

Dem come and gain knowledge, take the raw materials and do extractions to find out the chemical compositions and ray ray then take it and produce the synthetics and sell them as prescription meds…then turn around and put out bad publicity about the raw material and put bands on it and kill off the origin source, while farming it elsewhere exclusively.

PYFish, I honestly do not understand your question, please explain better

Hello my dear,

Anything at all that is spoken of an Orisha it must be inside of an Odu — in this case, what I have written here is told in the Holy Odu Osa Meji and Ose Otura. In the former, when Olodumare (The Supreme One) wanted to send the Iyami Osoronga to Earth, Osun was given authority over them. In the latter, when Olodumare sent the Orishas to the Earth, Oshun was the first feminine principle among masculine principles; in other words, Osun preceded the coming of the Iyami. Every Orisha has their authority over any particular thing that The Supreme One has given them.

However, you must understand that none of this, neither the force called Osun, nor the force called Iyami Osoronga or any other, is to be taken literally nor to be understood from a superstitious point of view, as is so common among Western followers of the Yoruba tradition.

Osun is called Yeye, or ‘mother’, implying the Universal Mother. Just as the Iyami Osoronga is also called ‘The Mothers’, but Oshun is the collective All in the feminine principle. The Supreme Mother. Therefore, that force has supremacy over the lesser ‘mother’ aspects. It is all the same, with functions in varying degrees, but when one force absorbs another, it bears a new identity.

I also did not mention that Osun flies. Again, anything of a spiritual nature should not be understood literally or superstitiously or else we fall into that danger zone called Unconsciousness.

Thank you for your comment.

Blessings

I know there is something in Africa waiting for me. I don’t know what it is. But I know there’s something there for me. I get so annoyed when I see my people (black people) post pictures of trips to Paris Tokyo and so on with no apparent desire to go back home and see what was stolen from us.

Can we do this again please?
