Ep. 75-Heritage, home and remembrance-my conversation with Jahsun Edmonds

In this episode I sat down with Jahsun Edmonds aka Oluwo Ifakolade, head priest of Idin Kaa Ifa Temple in Los Angeles. We discussed  his recent journey to Nigeria for the World Ifa Orisha Festival.  He explains  the importance of traveling to the homeland of Yoruba culture and what it was like to experience sacred sites, festivals and rituals. Jahsun explains  the meanings, symbolisms and literalism of some of the various Orishas (spirits that play a key role in the Yoruba tradition).  He talks about how he has taken an ancient African spiritual system and applied it to his community in South Central Los Angeles.
