Expert Profile: Oshunmilaya

Expertise: the Ifa Orisha tradition; most people know it as Santería. I can answer general questions about the tradition itself, or questions relating to actual practices, where to find more information, and how to effectively research these traditions.
I've been initiated in the orisha tradition since 1996. I have been actively involved in the Religion for over 20 years. In addition, I'm a licensed professional counselor with many years of experience in mental health. I've written and presented internationally on this subject.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject If you got your impressions of African Atlantic religious traditions from Hollywood, maybe it's time to find out the truth about these ancient traditions!

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Most people don't realize how many practitioners of the Yoruba religious traditions there are right here in America. You don't have to be IN this religion to benefit from its wisdom!
