Author Description

If we could but grasp the deepness of our ancestors then perhaps we would be able to grasp the deeper-inner value of not only ourselves as descendants of Africa, but as the original authentic human beings. Only then can the true nature of the religion and the rituals that are components thereof be of any substance; of any truth. In actuality, the human entity is derived from the celestial elements and is enshrined by the earth. It, along with the rituals, ceremonies, and belief systems are braided one into the other. The human entity becomes inseparable from the elements of which it is comprised and the belief system that it embraces. It is the Orisha who are the divine elemental forces that bring about the braiding and provide for the divinity structure so unique within every individual. The realization of this evolution in a person's lifetime is what delivers him/her to the gates of true humanity. Book jacket.
