Cyber Santeria
by Afolabi
When I first gained access to the Internet, it was with great
excitement that I found resources for Orisha worshippers on the World
Wide Web. In those days, there were two websites, a message board on
AOL and one electronic mailing list. I happily indulged in all of
them.
From the very beginning, I saw things that bothered me. Aleyos,
Aborishas, and inexperienced Oloshas were being instructed by
cyber "elders" (these elders were as often non-initiates as they were
initiates), people were anonymously pontificating about ritual dogma
and, worst of all, separatists of various stripe were declaring who
could and couldn't be involved in the religion. When I began reading
these things, my first reaction (being a son of Yemoja) was to "save
the world". I would go into "rescue" mode and want to save everyone
from the charlatans. This is what prompted me to set up my website
and to be so active in Santeria newsgroups and message boards. I
furiously posted information in hopes that these self-
proclaimed "elders" would be abandoned. I provided services to people
seeking instruction and religious contacts. In hopes that I would
rescue people from the clutches of these frauds, I became a sort of
reference librarian to the world. As I look back, I am deeply ashamed
of myself for my arrogance and pomposity, and for contributing to the
detriment of the religion by instructing in a way other than through
godparent/godchild oral instruction.
I find this rescue-reflex happening to me less and less nowadays. I
am becoming more comfortable in my own spirituality, and more able to
trust that the universe is unfolding exactly as it should. I believe
that eventually, everyone who is truly on a path of growth will wind
up where they belong, and some of the lessons we need to learn
involve being ripped off, disillusioned and dragged over the coals.
One lesson that is potentially learned on the Internet is that
nothing will come of your life if you don't get out into creation,
and that the world is not meant to be experienced through a monitor.
During my hiatus from the Internet and other public forums for Orisha
worship, I took a step back and watched the antics of the "public"
Orisha worshippers a bit more carefully than when I was one of them.
I am amazed by how totally alien the "media" version of the religion
is when I compare it to the religion as I know it in my personal
life.
This difference becomes more apparent every time I meet someone who
has spent a long time on the sidelines--attending lectures, reading
books or surfing the net--before actually becoming involved in the
religion as it is practiced in the homes of priests. They are stunned
at how skewed their ideas of the religion were as influenced by
the "Elders" with whom they came in contact on the Internet or the
lecture circuit.
Whether it be on the net, or at "media" Orisha functions (e.g.
classes, lectures, symposiums, exhibitions, etc.), these "Elders" who
present themselves for public scrutiny are almost never those people
with whom I (or any of my friends in various parts of the country)
come in contact during the course of my involvement in the religion.
They are not the Oriates, Babalawos or Akpons whom we would encounter
when taking part in ceremonies in Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago or New
York. They seem to occupy a parallel universe, a universe in which
the importance of Shango and Yemoja pale in comparison to that of
authors, lecturers, academics and recording artists.
In this universe, priests cite the teachings of (often uninitiated)
authors rather than our esteemed ancestors. You will hear Robert
Farris Thompson or William Bascom much more quickly than you will
hear Liberato or Ayai Lewu La Tuan. Songs and Odu are no longer
learned from our initiators. Instead we are told which CDs to buy or
which books to read. We are told to foribale to screen names and e-
mail addresses, and to ask the bendicion of our monitors.
When I first moved to Michigan I was invited to present myself as an
Orisha worshipper at the "Great Lakes Pagan Council", a group of
local Wiccans and European oriented Neopagans. I went, and was really
freaked out by the racism and homophobia I encountered. Until then,
the only Wiccans and Neopagans I had met up with were the homebody
types; the kind of people who worship at home and have a circle of
people with whom they do ritual. This was the first time I had run
into "Public Wiccans"; the kind of people who never actually seem to
pull a ritual together, but spend an awful lot of time putting out
newsletters and organizing coffee klatches.
The same thing happened, come to think of it, when I first joined the
Orisha Mailing List. Never before had I been exposed to anything
outside of the "homebody" Santeria community. It was the first time I
had encountered racism, and the first time (with the exception of the
exclusionary policies of Paleros and Babalawos) that I had found
homophobia. It was also the first time that I found the kind of self-
proclaimed "elders" that we now see so many of on the Internet; the
kind who spend so much time on the net that it seems impossible they
could be working the religion on any kind of level. I know this to be
true because my own involvement in the Internet Orisha community cut
deeply into my life as a priest, and it was nowhere near as heavy as
some of those whose posts appear with such staggering frequency as to
be alarming.
Only now does it occur to me that this relatively small number of
people in the Orisha community have a whole lot in common with the
Media Wiccans. They are people who have found no peace in their
spirituality and, therefore, in their lives. They spew hate and
venom, they make sweeping proclamations and hellfire condemnations
the likes of which I have never seen in the Real-Life religion which
I have grown to love so much. They lay in wait for opportunities to
exercise their always chomping-at-the-bit righteous indignation and
climb another rung on the ladder of popularity. Their involvement
with the religion ends when the potluck begins. Their religious
knowledge and wisdom is rarely, if ever, displayed. Only when they
are given the opportunity to lambaste one another over minute details
or differences of opinion do they give their keyboards a workout.
Now that I REALLY think of it, this also brings to mind a comparison
of your average stay-at-home, private Christian with the Talking
Heads of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. It seems that all of these
people, whether pagan, Santero or Christian, seem to be fanatically
trying to convince others that they are Right, perhaps to get some
sense of self-validation, or to stroke their as-yet-unstroked egos.
What is unfortunate is the effect these rantings have on newcomers.
Although the number of these armchair Pontiffs is small, they have,
sadly, tapped into a medium that gives them a level of public
exposure which dwarfs that of the more typical Orisha worshipper.
When you consider the number of Orisha worshippers that exist in this
world, and you compare that huge number to the number of
pontificating, hate-spewing Cyber-Nazi Santeros, which you can
probably count on your hands and feet, and then factor in the
profundity of the impression they give people of the Orisha
community, you begin to see how effective a tiny number of people can
be when they are plugged into the information superhighway. What the
Internet has created is an impression of our priests as suspicious,
hateful, vicious, untrustworthy, bigoted children who have nothing
better to do than to try to one-up each other in cyberspace. I will
say only once in this letter that if those novices out there who have
had no contact with the religion will make the effort to find a
decent priest, they will find that in the real world, this is simply
NOT the case.
I think that the personalities of these pseudo-priests have less to
do with the specific common denominator of this group of people (i.e.
Orisha worshippers) and more to do with the nature of people on the
Internet as a whole. Message boards, mailing lists and newsgroups
often attract people who have little or no social life. They are most
often people who feel they have no effect on the world around them,
and therefore make attempts to establish themselves as electronic
celebrities in the fantasy world of the Web. If you pay attention to
the rhythm of their posts, you will find that they have little to say
unless they are arguing or attempting to shoot others down. Lists and
message boards get incredibly active when it is time to attack, but
otherwise these people have almost nothing to say. Check any other
newsgroup or message board, whether it be political, spiritual,
sports or entertainment based, and you will find the same rhythm, the
same venom and the same desperate attempt to be "King of the Hill".
This has nothing to do with content, it has everything to do with
human nature, whether those people be Santeros, Republicans, Hockey
buffs or Sandra Bullock groupies.
When you are new to the Internet, it is very tempting to get involved
in all this mess. I know because I fell for it; hook, line and
sinker. It is very gratifying to post and have people answer you with
praise. It is also infuriating to see someone post some hideously
homophobic or racist trash. A person's first reaction is to respond
in equally vicious fashion. Our religion, however, teaches us
otherwise.
The arguments that take place on the net are moot. Homophobes and
racists will not see the light because somebody calls them a dirty
bastard. Oloshas and Awos, most of whom are quite well entrenched in
their practices are not about to change their policies regarding the
role of Ifa or Oriates PERIOD, let alone because of the
pontifications of some dubious priest or snot-nosed Aleyo who has
never once communicated his heart with the character befitting one
who would presume to speak for this religion. People will do what
they will do, and only time, positive dialogue and observation of the
examples of others will bring change.
The most important thing I have learned from my time in the Internet
trenches is that it is infinitely more in keeping with the goals of
the religion to keep a level head and a cool character, to speak your
truth, wherever you may speak it, in a clear and peaceful voice.
Those who are meant to hear it, will.
Is this to say that the religion on the Internet is a bad thing? No,
I don't think so. I wouldn't be here if I thought that it was. My
personal opinion is that it is only as harmful as the people
involved. I am sure that there are many people for whom the Internet
has been a primary tool for their introduction to the religion, and
that it has been a very positive experience for them. In my own
experience, someone whom I dearly love would not have found his place
in the religion nor would he have met me were it not for the net. I
am very thankful to have had the net to bring such a wonderful person
into my life. On the other hand, I have met many "priests" online
whose lives in the religion are a cyber-lie, "priests" to whom people
are flocking like lambs to the slaughter. This has led me to the
conclusion that the Internet is a good place for (extremely cautious)
networking and for recreation, but that as far as learning anything
of the practice of this religion, the abuses and potential dangers
for the novice far outweigh the benefits.
After expressing concerns about the behavior of the Orisha
worshippers on the Internet, a friend recently posed to me the
question: "Where are we going?" My answer is that we are going
exactly where we have always been going. The religion will continue
to teach evolution and development of character. People will continue
to benefit from it. The Internet will, in the end, be neither here
nor there in the big picture. Yes, on the net, there are those who
will come together with peace and truth in their hearts, and they
will grow because of it. As for those who are here only to perform
for their own benefit: Only in their minds, in which cyberspace is
the only real world, will their posturing be of any consequence.
Meanwhile, in basements, apartments, temples and homes; Oloshas, Awos
and Aborishas will worship, feed and celebrate the Orishas, actively
participating in that which those who exist in the religion only on
the net so desperately want to play a part. As with every other group
in the world, there are those who DO and others who only sit and
theorize. Those who sit and theorize will, in the end, have no effect
whatsoever.

This has not been broken since 9/11/01, please keep it going...
This has been kept alive and moving since 9/11.
In memory of all those who
perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the
United Air and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to
the friends and families of the deceased.

IF I KNEW

If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.

There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.


Send this to at least 10 people to show your support.


PLEASE DON'T BREAK IT!!!!!!

knowledge on the deities. I will soon be moving to San Antonio Texas
which will be bit difficult for me  my madrina resides in Queens and
I wouldn't change her for the world so departing from her side will
be a difficult task for me. I really look forward to learning more

Hello Hija de oshun,

Everything in santo has its price, and its usually the same.  Nothing in santo is free, there has to be a derecho, for animals, ceremonies, and etc.

The usual price is around 150 to 200 dollars. If there are people charging 400 dollars and up they are crooks. You can tell the good santeros fromt he crooked ones in this case. Not everything should be money. But understand that you cant go by what books say. There is always a price within santeria. I hope this information helps.

Greetings to All.

I come peacefully and on friendly terms to let people here know about
our online resource for people in the religions who have been abused,
conned, harrassed, threatend, etc. We all know it goes on and the
victims of this abuse are largely relegated to a closet of silence.
Victims of spiritual abuse in these religions will be able to get
support and share their stories anonymously and with full recognition
of the validity of their experiences.

Please visit our site and message boards at:

http://thebelievers.freeservers.com

http://pub37.ezboard.com/bthebelievers34254

In our "house" the victim *is* the authority on these religions, not
priests. As we respect the authority of priests in their own forums,
we ask for the same respect for victims at our own forum.

What we can do for victims of abuse is give them the space to be an
authority over their own situations and also we want to help others
who are seeking to leave the religions. Though you certainly don't
have to leave your faith to get support for the abuse you have
suffered, but that option is always open in our "house."

Peace be to all.

The Believers

That website is now defunct.  It was a "store" based in Brooklyn.  It
was mail order only, there was no physical store to buy from.  They
were vey unreliable in getting back to prospective buyers as well.
There is a place in NYC on 106 Street between 1st and 2nd avenues
that sell santo clothing.

Ok.  Well, maybe it was just the timining.  I contacted them recently
and they recently took down their site.

Is there a website for that place in LA that provides the same
service?

There's one on 106th Street on the East side I think and there is also one in Brooklyn, but I am not sure of the address. When I get more info I will forward it to you.
