Hello

Hi there!

I found this group while searching for "Orisha Devotees" in google. I belong to a group on tribe.net with an identical name, but couldnt load it because of internet issues.

Anyways,
My name is Patrick, and I live in Northern California, USA. I'm a child of Yemaya, and participate with Ile Orunmila Oshun. Sometimes I get flack from people on the 'net because of the Ile that I attend because apparently they do things a little differently than other houses. But, I really like it there and feel like I am growing as a man, as a spiritual being, and as a member of the community.

I'm not sure what drew me to African spirituality in the first place, but I really enjoy the ability to actively participate in spirituality, rather than watching from the sidelines (was raised Catholic). I can tell that that makes alot of people uncomfortable, and I admit that it took some getting used to for me as well.

Hopefully, some more people will join so we can get some discussions going.

Talk to you soon,
Patrick

p.s. I found your blog through random searching. While still searching "orisha devotees", I found your blog post about the band, Orishas. I really enjoyed reading your blog. You have a really cool writing style.
