Welcome to another installment of the Ask A Priest series of The Orisha Wisdom Podcast where we respond to one of our community's burning questions about our traditions.  

Listen in to this episode where the question deals whether a person can get scratched into the Orisha traditions instead of becoming an Orisha priest.  Great question because many people wonder if getting scratched could be a way into our traditions.  Listen in....

One of the most exciting things when coming to the Orisa Traditions was finding out about the process of becoming a Iyawo.  I couldn't get enough of finding out about them.  When I would see a person dressed all in white... my neck would almost break... I wanted to have their attention... I wanted to talk to them... I wanted to be them.  

It is an exciting prospect to know... that in our path... We could be called to initiate into the mysteries of Orisa.  But... how?  What?  How much?  What does it take? 

Listen to this very candid conversation with someone who at the time of this recording was a Iyawo.  We are grateful for his time, and for him openly sharing his experiences with us.

You are new to the Orisa Traditions... or have been around.  You just want to know HOW to get your hands on a Godparent for you.  What does it take?  What is the process?  You just need to know SOMETHING that will help you to finally get your Godparent so that you can move on in the Orisa Traditions.  Well... guess what.... Here is a super candid conversation with Iya Eñi Acho in the Lukumi Traditions that goes very deep into that.  We are going to Demystify this process for you.

Thank you for listening to the Orisha Wisdom Podcast!  On this Ask A Priest series of the podcast we are going to begin to tackle the question that burns MANY when they come into our community.  "Why is it so hard to find a Godparent?"  Every day we get this question in one form or another... and it's tough for all those going through this part of the process.  

We hope that you find this episode very helpful because it can begin to give you the insight into the 'why' you might not be able to get your hands on the coveted gold (Godparent).

It is a GOOD thing to reflect on a past year IF we are going to grab lessons that were given to improve our lives and to become better.  Some lessons hit us HARD... some are gentler, and some are huge 'Ah Ha' moments that can pivot how we think and see the world; therefore changing our lives.  

Since we are all humans, every aspect of us intertwines with others.  Listen in and hear what the last year of our last decade showed me.  Do you do a year review?  What did you learn which you are changing this year?  Share your thoughts...
