[The Odum of Ala Igbo]

From a Westernized perspective, things can or are often viewed in terms of good/bad.

Prior to Christianity, European Gods like Zeus, Thor etc. were seen as moral as humanity itself.

I peeped it, she been on her oshun shyt since Lemonade. It's easy to tell because she was wearing yellow and just the symbolism of her performance.

I also heard Jay say on a record with Drake his saint was shango so they are up on Santeria for sure.

It was Paris Morton Music 2 by Drake from nothing was the same, he says...

"International Hov, that's my handle
My saint's Changó, light a candle
El Gran Santo on the mantle
Case y'all didn't know, I speak Spanish too"

On another note, damn Beyonce was looking sexy at that awards show. She been looking so sexy for all these years

Yep, Jaz put him on to the nuwabians stuff and he did cop a FIve percnter chain for Jay Electronica.

Maybe it was Bey who put him on to this stuff, and they did take a vacation to cuba lol.

As for the line, it went over my head too at the time when the track dropped and I didn't catch it till listening to it about a year after lol.

Ifa/Yoruba religion get real popular now

Really popular, someone shared a link to a thread on here where the topic was IFA and how it's popping in Atlanta now. In that thread they posted a breakfast club interview where 21 savage reveals briefly that he practices it lol.

This is terrible because now a lot of scammers are involved and I wanted to find someone legit but I'm having trouble

Same here, I'm interested in studying religion in general especially religion in the diaspora but I do feel a connection to santeria and the Orisha's.

I considered the option of getting involved with a house in Santeria one day and getting a reading for that but at the same time I don't know if I should. That possession stuff looks scary and as I said before it's hard to find someone legit these days with good ethics.

Damn, did he catch her trying to put something in his food or rocking his underwear inside out? That's crazy!

I hear some women out there do voodoo to bind their partner to them so they won't leave.
