I was initiated to Oshun in August. Thiscame as sort of a surprise as Shango had my head for years. However, when I review the year prior to initiation I see where the influence began to change and the deeper lessons for me had to do with sweetening my life and releasing; at deep cellular levels, the pain of my youth. Oshun governs the laws of attraction and manifestation. As one releases the painful emotions and thoughts, new ones emerge and what manifests in the environment becomes sweeter. Life becomes more enjoyable. I will claim that blessing. Here is some wonderful music from Ella Andall honoring Oshun and the beauty she brings to the life. Enjoy!
Denver held its 25th annual Black Arts Festival July 14-1th at Denver City Park West. The festival was smaller than last year but easier to navigate and more organized. The highlight of the festival was the Joda Village Stage located under the Centennial Junniper grove on the west side of the festival. Here several local cultural acts such as Praise Dancers, La Salsa latin band and the Youth Drum Corp thrilled audiences chillin in the hot summer sun.
