We discuss the role of Ancestors, initiation, the history of syncretic practices, the dangers of mixing spirits without training, how to heal generational wounds, and how to translate ancient traditions into tools for modern life.
For anyone reconnecting with African spirituality, this is a grounding, clarifying, and deeply ancestral conversation, for YOU.
00:00-30:05 Introductions
30:05-2:26:00 What does your tradition teach about the Ancestors/How do the Ancestors guide us today?
2:26:00-End Closing Remarks

Yay!!!! I am here! So exciting!
Reflecting deeply about what was said about problematic ancestors. Powerful conversation. As both a practicing Buddhist and practitioner of African spiritual science, I pray for the healing, restoration and repair of every soul in my lineage that struggled to embody Source. I do this with compassion knowing that as a soul myself who has experienced many lifetimes, many of those lives have been less than auspicious. So reconciling in myself my own shadows and darkness helps me with clarity around praying for ancestors who are walking that same path.
This was so good. Please do another segment. And THANK YOU for the offering. 😊
Amazing conversation, insights and perspectives. Thank you 🙏🏾
So many great points. This was a much needed conversation. ❤
New to this channel – this was such a good discussion. I hope you can do this again.
I found the discussions quite enlightening and fulfilling. All the panelists were really resourceful. Good job everyone
This was good 😊
I wouldn't mess with the sister practicing Obeah wooooooooooooo!!! amazing video by the way you all look amazing!
😅 Absolutely thrilling panel to be a part of. Thank you, Sasha, for bringing us together.
when we don't mourn -we grieve – mourning is the process of tuning painful memory back into joyful memories of the dearly departed – mourning has a beginning and an end – imagine tuning an instrument – at some point you begin tuning and you stop tuning – grieving has no end – hetepu
the name Jesus ascribed to Christianity is a made-up name
Thank you for this discussion. Very informative and affirming.
I would only have one ask: please, when recording, mute everyone including yourself, as there was a lot of echoing and missed moments because of the distracting audio.
No one thought to ask everyone to mute themselves ? The echo was very distracting 😂
INTERESTING KONVO. AMANI DADA ZANGU!
How can "Black Americans" connect to some of these practices, being that some do not know their African history? …
I recently had a vision that led me directly towards this! I’m also Haitian and my family is familiar with voodoo but I didn’t know anything about Yoruba spirituality even existed but what my vision revealed, to see sistas all united here! Im in chills watching this
Thank you for this forum. Learning and embracing our Spirituality together is very comforting.
White Sangoma, absolutely not…
AHHH I’m so happy I found this channel!!!!❤❤❤ I found my people 😂
Wow! This was so phenomenal, thank you for coordinating this. Please do this again! May you consider techniques that encourage sharing the time amongst the panelists a bit more equitably?
Great discussion! Please keep in mind when it comes to Yoruba which is the name of the language we are many branches like Isese, Lukumi, Candomble, etc. There are different divination systems known as Adaasa (Merindilogun, shells), IFA, AFA (divining with nuts, chains, etc), Obi, and kinkin (ancestral dominoes), etc. divination systems. Saying IFA only points to the type of divination used it is not the name of the tradition.
As a Jamaican 🇯🇲 man who is initiated in a couple of different traditions, its amazing to see so many beautiful Black/Caribbean/African Sisters/Goddesses/Empresses in one place. 🙏🏿
My only question for the panel, is what advice would you give for Brothers who are trying to walk this path, who would also like to meet, align & connect with our Divine Feminine counterparts? ❤️🖤💚💛🙏🏿
Love's point is excellent. The beauty about African Spirituality, is that it is genetic.
This is especially important for those of us that are in the Diaspora, because we are a mix of various African tribes, & therefore mixed traditions.
That is why Ive become initiated in more than one tradtion.
This is no different from people of different tribes intermarrying. If people can marry other people from other tribes, there should be no reason not to bring their traditions with them.
Its different tho, for Continental Africans, who come from a singular tribe, & therefore a singular tradition. Your native tradition provides what you need.
However, I do agree with the other Sister, in that the traditions should be honored singularly. I personally am not the biggest fan of Syncretism, especially the African with the non-African.
