"Cuban Santeria: The Way of the Saints." Our Human Planet, Youtube. May 16, 2019. [4:26] Despite its many practitioners, Santeria is difficult to see first-hand – Santeria priestesses are often wary of foreigners.  It was very unusual that they allowed a camera into this secret ceremony.  Most Cubans are Catholic.  Many also believe in Santeria, a syncretic religion that was brought to Cuba with the slave trade.  Santeria customs include sacred drumming, animal sacrifice, and trance-like state that is used for communicating with their ancestors and deities.  Santeria isn’t just a religion – it’s a reflection of the Cuban personality.    Born of resistance and survival - and now a celebration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAEv4XLU16s

"The Ifa Divination System." UNESCO, Youtube. September 28, 2008. [3:06] Description: The Ifa divination system, which makes use of an extensive corpus of texts and mathematical formulas, is practiced among Yoruba communities and by the African diaspora in the Americas and the Caribbean. The word Ifa refers to the mystical figure Ifa or Orunmila, regarded by the Yoruba as the deity of wisdom and intellectual development.  In contrast to other forms of divination in the region that employ spirit mediumship, Ifa divination does not rely on a person having oracular powers but rather on a system of signs that are interpreted by a diviner, the Ifa priest or babalawo, literally the priests father. The Ifa divination system is applied whenever an important individual or collective decision has to be made.  The Ifa literary corpus, called odu, consists of 256 parts subdivided into verses called ese, whose exact number is unknown as they are constantly increasing (there are around 800 ese per odu). Each of the 256 odu has its specific divination signature, which is determined by the babalawo using sacred palm-nuts and a divination chain. The ese, considered the most important part of Ifa divination, are chanted by the priests in poetic language. The ese reflect Yoruba history, language, beliefs, cosmovision and contemporary social issues. The knowledge of Ifa has been preserved within Yoruba communities and transmitted among Ifa priests.  Under the influence of colonial rule and religious pressures, traditional beliefs and practices were discriminated against.The Ifa priests, most of whom are quite old, have only modest means to maintain the tradition, transmit their complex knowledge and train future practitioners. As a result, the youth and the Yoruba people are losing interest in practising and consulting Ifa divination, which goes hand-in-hand with growing intolerance towards traditional divination systems in general.  Country(ies): Nigeria. https://youtu.be/k9lGVF6jYN4

"Elegba Medley Orisha Music." Mercedez TheFmGirl, Youtube. January 22, 2019. [5:05] Elegba (also referred to as Eleggua or Elegguá) is the owner of the roads and doors in this world. He is the repository of ashé. The colors red and black or white and black are his and codify his contradictory nature. In particular, Elegba stands at the crossroads of the human and the divine, as he is a child-like messenger between the two worlds. In this role, it is not surprising that he has a very close relationship with the orisha of divination. he opens the door between the worlds and opens our roads in life. He recognizes himself and is recognized by the numbers 3 and 21. There are many aspects to Elegba as in all other divinities. This song is done by Ella Andall out of Trinidad and Tobago a cross of both the Yoruba mixed with the French forming a beautiful medley. His name changes in many other cultures and so, therefore, the pronunciation and spelling may vary but its the same aspect of the very said spirit which in another term is who he loves to portray himself as The Trickster.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ub7nDPEtNGU

During one of his many trips to West Africa he was initiated in the village of Ode Remo, Nigeria into the mysteries of Ifa and the Warrior Orisa (deity) Ogun. Since then he has been published in several academic journals, appeared on countless radio shows, television programs, and university panels discussing the tenets of the Tradition of Ifa, Orisa reverence and ancestor veneration as practiced in Yorubaland and in the Diaspora. He has narrated 3 CDs on Ifa, for everyone from the novice to the highly respected Priest. Awo Fasegun has been happily married for over 30 years and is the proud father of 3 magnificent children. www.ifaforall.org

"Osain (Master Of all Herbs) by ELLA ANDALL." Nathaniel Lewis, Youtube. November 3, 2017. [18:25] Osain (osanyin) is one of the most important Orishas because without Osain there would be no way to correctly perform the ceremonies of "making" the Orishas. Osain is the owner of all the plants and trees that grow wild in the woods. He has nothing to do with cultivated plants. For a plant to have the ache that Osain gives to it, it must be found growing wild in the woods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWSCDJKuMpA


"Osain (The Doctor And Healer) by ELLA ANDALL." Nathaniel Lewis, Youtube. October 12, 2017. [6:01] Osain is the medicine man also known as the man for court house and jail house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUuo8uHycTc


"Osanyin/osain by ELLA ANDALL." Nathaniel Lewis, Youtube. December 5, 2017. [11:32] "Osain is an herbalist who lives in the bush, a powerful medicine man. Worshipers explain that he too is one spirit with many aspects. Indeed, up to seven different manifestations of Osain may be present at one time; I myself have seen as many as five. A few contacts identified four 'brothers' or aspects of Osain as Elesije, Ere Osa,Demolay and Kiripiti, but these are not known to many worshipers. Adherents syncretize Osain with "Saint Francis"....In some shrines, however, worshipers surround Osain's stool with Hindu paraphernalia and may even plant a Hindu-style flag to mark it. ... It appears that the tendency to perceive Shango and Osain as having different "brothers" or aspects is strictly Trinidadian, for they are not so represented in Yoruba lore. It may be that orisha worshipers have used the various traits of each orisha as the basis for postulating distinct spirits or aspects..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnBw1UeqL-Q

[2:13] Yemaya is the Yorùbá Orisha or Goddess of the living Ocean, considered the mother of all. She is the source of all the waters, including the rivers of western Africa, especially the River Ogun. Her name is a contraction of Yey Omo Eja, which means "Mother Whose Children are the Fish." As all life is thought to have begun in the sea, all life is held to have begun with Yemaya. She is motherly and strongly protective, and cares deeply for all Her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow. She is said to be able to cure infertility in women, and cowrie shells represent Her wealth. She does not easily lose Her temper, but when angered She can be quite destructive and violent, as the sea in a storm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZOA8NJOY_0

'"Black sounding" names and their surprising history.' Say it Loud, Youtube. June 27, 2019.  [12:57] What's in a name? Sometimes it's just our imagination, and other times it's an attempt at a political statement. Black names have been satirized and stereotyped for a long time, but they have a unique and downright surprising history. Azie and Evelyn discuss the history, culture, and influence on "black sounding names" for #SayItLoudPBS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjiGBpdmk_I

"Say It Loud." Say It Loud is a PBS Digital Studios series that celebrates Black culture, context, and history. Hosts Evelyn from the Internets and Hallease give you a comedic take on identity and pop culture, from Black pride movements to Black Twitter shenanigans. The show explores the complexity of Black experience and finds joy in the many ways Black folks have influenced American life. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk85otLk-ASsqPu0aXFGjzA/videos
