Spirituality is one of CCCADI’s core lines of work. Over the past four decades, CCCADI has redirected the narrative around sacred African-based traditions, and has amplified scholars’ voices who educate the public about the beauty and sanctity of these belief systems. On October 1st at 7pm, Elder Priestess of Yemaya and presenter, Angela Fontanez will be leading The Orisha Tradition: An African Worldview introductory workshop about the traditions that survived the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and flourished throughout the world.
Angela Fontanez, an Elder Priestess of Yemaya and the workshop’s presenter, will intertwine the video’s interviews with scholars and practitioners with performances as well. The workshop will also elaborate on Fontanez’s own commentary about the traditions that survived the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and flourished throughout the world.

re: Yoruba Religion and much more
I am grateful to have found this video. I am African/American and raised Christian. I love the holy trinity and I love Jesus the Christ. But I feel like my relationship to the spirit has outgrown the confines of the religion. I have always been drawn to the path. But was always taught to be afraid. I can no longer deny the power within me and I am seeking to find TMHG.
Exactly the same. Grew up COGIC. Now I embrace the spiritualism of my beloved ancestors! I have never felt so fulfilled in my entire life.
I felt exactly what you are describing. I found a great community that helped me tremendously. Check out the Orisha Hoodoo Coven on facebook. It is a community dedicated to us for the purpose of learning more about African Spirituality and how it is practiced by African Americans especially those who are ADOS. My life changed after joining this group and interacting with others. I learned so much. Hope this helps you expand your belief system and find what you are seeking. Peace and blessings
Well said. I feel the same way
Christianity is enforce religion on African People, Africans are People of Nature, the African understand the forces of nature, because the balance with it. That why no where on Earth that endow with nature phenomenal like African Continent, African Continent is the land of beginning every world religion evolve from Ancient African veneration of Nature. For example Christianity evolve from Veneration of the Sun, the name of the Sun was later change to Jesus, when Roman Empire took Control of Christianity. The African were the first to Venerate the Sun, because Sun is giver of life, the Sun give Earth rain, our People understand it, by Venerating the Sun, the role Sun plays in human existence, That why Christian go to Church on Sunday, the day of Veneration the Sun, these day have going on for thousands of years. But the West kept the secret to their Christian follower, because Christianity become organize Religion, because of Monetary gain and Control, which is core of Western Civilization of adore Materialism in the place of nourishing the Mother Earth. That why African Continent is different. the adoration of the nature is very powerful in Continent, throughout it History, That why the Nature and human co exist then anywhere on Erath. We Yoruba we call Sun Oyee, and still Venerate.

Came across this video searching for information on the path I was brought to. I recently found out I'm 53.8% Nigerian. I don't have much support here. I'm born and raised in America as a Christian that didn't work for me. No disrespect to Christian it just didn't work for me. I thank you for this video it was very informational to my soul. I'm learning to do my shadow work and control my mind. Blessings!! Ase'
I just came across this video as well. Who is also live in the States and I was born and raised as a Christian as well. We have a lot too digest. I find myself crying so much because they even tried to strip us of our belief. 😞 but its okay because our ancestors are waiting for us. My ancestors came from Nigeria as well.
@Angela yes please reprint you're books because you know they're doing everything they can to keep knowledge from us.
Asèooo 🥂ya comment gave me confidence and it resonated well and I can relate peace and blessings be to u
Get ahold of lillith Dorsey she is very helpful and has 3 books out over met her lots of times she's great
Oh man I'm Guyanese 🇬🇾 (proud)😂 now living in US and I just came across this vid!!
I been on a spiritual journey for many years now. Came up Lutheran. My faith is strong, however I feel as though I've been misguided..
FEELINGS🔥
Give Thanks🙏🏾
@Spiritual Awakening How did you find out?? I want to know who I am and where I come from as well.
Thanks for this video. I feel like there's a missing void and the beat of the drum and energy of the Orisha history fills that void for me. Our ancestors were stripped of their culture and way of life. But we are returning Ase'O !!!
Martha Moreno's book: The Altar of my Soul, educates, explains and demystifies the religion Lucuemi, Santeria & Dr. Moreno's journey. Beautifully written, it removed the fear and misinformation I grew up hearing and feeling. Thank you, for this video. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love it I am American born never heard the word Orisha until my visits now I’m searching for truth bc Jesus all I ever knew I am oshun and ogun but nobody in my family will tell me Jack they all Christian it’s horrible what they did to us I believe my grandaddy was from Hattie or Nassau however he was a farmer livestalk I have vivid memories of oshun yemoja and Oya in the water near rocks also a talking cloud I thought they were from childhood movies I can’t find! It’s so heartbreaking bc I go thru lots not negative but I don’t know what my soul agreed to do but APPARENTLY SOMETHING but everybody wants money to tell u anything I don’t have money so I suffer bc my reading said that they will continue to visit until I do what I’m called my dad A CHRISTIAN BISHOP told me I’m being call but to what is the mystery Ashe to you mam this very beautiful ❤️💛💚

Realest comment under this. Video. I tell my ajihados this ALL THE TIME! No magic wands. Do the work!
This is our way, we live in balance with nature .Thank you. This makes me so emotional.🌹
If u seen African woman can carry huge basket in her head and even ran with it, without any training no other race can do that ...
Very nice! note: Spanish, Lucumi, amd Yoruba, ase __all the names of the orisa are Yoruba, even those inflected/spelled in Lucumi with a Indio/Spanish influence and in Candomble with an Indio/Portuguese influence: mojuba, ase, modupe, orisa, iya, baba, babalawo, apetebi, iyawo, ide, epo. oyin. oti, ebo, egungun, ad infinitum, not to mention, OLODUMARE, Eledumare are Yoruba words. Thus, the African worldview must include acknowledgement of the vocabulary from an African language, which in this case is the Yoruba language, one of the languages spoken in Nigeria where the Yoruba predominantly live.
Ase!
ASE
Lukumi's are Yorubas as well
I am so proud to be a Yoruba woman from Nigeria but living in the UK. It's so unfortunate that the colonial master left many Yorubas in Nigeria with ancestors of other countries through Islam and Christianity(no offence to the followers as am a Christian too 😂 but seeking to go back to appreciating my OWN ancestors). The orisha worshippers in Yoruba land, Nigeria are now the minorities, can you believe it!!🙄🙄Thank you so much for this video and also thanks to those that wrote positive comments too. E SEUN O (THANK YOU), E SEUN PUPO (THANK YOU VERY MUCH) ❤️❤️❤️🙏
I love this. Gives an opportunity for people to reconnect with their roots and practice their religion and embrace their culture.
Amazing job. Modupe Iya. I learn so much everytime my elders talk. I virtually sit at your feet and thank you. I came to the tradition through music as well. I look forward to being as knowledgeable and humble and beautiful a spirit as you all.

Aboru Aboye Abosise, I'm watching this beautiful presentation over a year after it aired and much gratitude and respect to the organizers! I do wonder, however, why OYA was left out?
Hi. The study of #Aquarius may gift some insight as to the why of that... #oversight..? idk, maybe.
If the profanity, hyperbolic frenetic bubbly chi isn't off-putting, herein are some great #Aqua-Points: ua-cam.com/video/xJxdmza8wMg/v-deo.html
I appreciate you all for this .
This came across my page and I am so excited it did, thank you
Quite the most exquisite presentation I have seen on our traditional religions. I've heard and seen a clarity Ive never heard before on this subject. My respect and acknowledgement for our religion have soared. We could not have survived outside Africa without it. Midaase pii (Trans: thanks from the heart in Akan). I was directed to learn about the Orishas from within. I know why now. Thank you..
By Divine Source of Supreme Supernatural Power I was searching for the Supreme Rulers and Builders and Supreme Creators...Holy Gods and Goddesses of Our Yoruba Nation and countries and communities Global.
Our Culture is very very Wealthy and very Powerful and Very Truthful...
Thank you for this.

How do I find somewhere where my children n I find someone who can teach us in birmingham al
Hello I believe I been called to practice the yoruba faith through dreams the cloths I'm wearing and certains words that are constantly repeat in my head. I have ignored for many years but is a no stopping that happen until now through research and also being lead to an Ifa because that's one of the words that repeated in my consciousness. But question is where in NYC can I go to start the process in divination.
Fabulous. Modupe Iya.
IBORU IBOYA IBOCHECHE, my padrino has gone into the universe. I'm looking for a my new home. I'm in Chino California and Tucson az. Ashe
thank you 😁👍
According to our keepers of traditions, the Thought Men and Women, Yoruba religion (the Book of Enlightenment), is one of the oldest religions in the world. True or false? Thank you for the excellent presentation. Continue to be knowledgeable in your root. Ase.
OBATALA means "OBA - ALA" in English is "KING OF PURITY OR WHITENESS" then also means "OBA TOTE A'ALA" meaning The KING THAT COME FIRST OR FIRST SETTLELER". The word or the Title OBA title which means KING is a Royal title for anyone occupying the highest position of an head of the people & as the custodian head of our Culture/Traditions in Yoruba's Land, that's why all kings or any kingship tittle in Yorubas Culture/Tradition are tittle OBAS, after OBATALA.

White but this makes so much sense ....
No disrespect but im tired of hispanics being the main face of AFRICAN spirituality
Cuba is big and maybe had a really big international influence, but does Santeria really overshadow all of... Candomble.. Vodou.. Obeah... Comfa.. Shango?
This just one example but in New Orleans they could easily make a similar complaint against native-french descended people becoming the face of Voodoo, but there's little need for that as people have instead rebuilt ties with many other practitioners keeping African spiritual traditions alive all around the diaspora.
@@andyj2287 Im just speaking from my own experience. I live in FL and can't find a black practitioner anywhere. Not a black baba in sight. Its annoying.
Hispanic isn’t a race there’s many Hispanics that are Black
@@KNKReactsare unable to find Bokors in the Haitian community?? 🧐
If you want someone that is humble and kind and is DEFINITELY NOT A RACISTS UNLIKE OUR THE CURRENT PRESIDENT ASK PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR HELP. HE WILL BE MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP THE AFRICAN PEOPLE!!!
Uh no, there are all racist. Don’t be fooled.
