IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NON AFRIKANS (PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT "BLACK"). THERE IS NO NEED AND HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY WHITES OR ANY OTHER NON AFRIKANS TO CONTACT US WITH A FRIENDS REQUEST, MESSAGE, COMMENT, OPINION, ETC. WE ARE HERE ON MYSPACE AND IN THIS WORLD FOR THE RESURRECTION OF AFRIKAN PEOPLE, CULTURE, AND SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS. WHITES AND OTHER NON-AFRIKANS HAVE NO PART OR SAY IN THIS. Oruko mi ni Baba Awotunde Dosunmu Yao Faseyin. My name is Baba Awotunde Dosunmu Yao Faseyin. Fawesagu is a title given to me that means "Messenger of Fa" in the Fon language of modern day Benin (originally Daxome/Dahomey). I am a Babalawo, Priest of Sango, and Egungun in the West Afrikan tradition of Orisa-Vodun. I am actively engaged in the Pan-Afrikan and Nationalistic restoration of Afrikan spirituality, culture, and worldview for Afrikans (Black people) only. I wish to connect with and communicate with all Afrikan people who are engaged in such activity, wish to be so engaged, and those wishing to learn more about these things and their Afrikan purpose in life in general. It should be noted the Vodun we practice and worship is rooted in West Afrikan (Daxome [Benin], Togo, Ghana, kwk) and NOT Aiyti (Haiti).Our website ---- New Afrikan VodunOur organization is the Damballa New Afrikan Vodun Ancestral Order . We serve the Afrikan community in the capacity of spiritual such services as: Divinations
Roots Readings
Hand of Ifa
Assistance towards Egungun (Ancestral) Priesthood(Yoruba)
Kuvito Ancestral Priesthood Initiation (Afrikan Vodun)
Spiritual Cleansings
House Cleansings About the Roots Reading I do want to speak directly to New Afrikans concerning one of the most important readings we do which is called the Ipile Fa or commonly known as a Roots Reading. This is the reading whereas New Afrikans gather the pertinent spiritual, social, and mundane information reconnectiong them to their Afrikan ethnic root. It is one thing to know that you are Afrikan but even more important to know exactly where you come from. Not only does the Ipile Fa tell you this but it tells you such things as how your people got into slavery, what kind of family you come from, what did they do, what side of the family your soul descends from, family taboos, the deity or deity type your family worshipped, kwk (this is Ki Bantu or so-called Ki Swahili short for "katha wa katha" which means "etc., etc."). Though there are not many priests trained within this system I encourage all New Afrikans, Afrikans torn away from their Afrikan motherland, to seek out priests that do this very important reading.Please visit our site, New Afrikan Vodun, at www.newafrikanvodun.com . Egbe Oluranlowo Awon Elewon Society of Persons Helping those
that are Confined in PrisonEgbe Oluranlowo Awon Elewon is translated as "Society of those helping those that are imprisoned". It translates into "Society of those that are helping those imprisoned". This is dedicated to bringing Afrikan spiritual conscious and practicality to New Afrikan prisoners. Through this egbe we are also dealing with the homeless.

We have produced five publications on Afrikan spirituality and nationalistic worldview which are listed below. To purchase and/or read excerpts from any of our publications please contact us at [email protected]. About Our Publications$15.00. New Afrikan Vodun Volume III: A Social Discourse Towards Spiritual and Cultural Reconstitution
Our newest publication is finally here for the New Year! New Afrikan Vodun Volume III: A Social Discourse Towards Spiritual and Cultural Reconstitution is about effecting the social and political outlook of Afrikans practicing Afrikan spirituality. Tough issues are tackled in this very controversial book. This is the last of the promised three-volume New Afrikan Vodun book series. This book is a call to all of those involved in the tradition to truly strap on the armor of their Ancestors. It is an invitation to those on the peripheral of the culture to know that it is all right to be an unapologetic nationalist when it comes to Afrikan tradition.
$16.95. Iwakeri: The Quest for Afrikan Spirituality . As its name suggests, it is about the spiritual quest of the Afrikan Being. It begins with a psychological "survey" of the spiritual and mental state of the American born Afrikan. It is felt that before delving into an Afrikan spiritual system that one must understand the historical details of why there has to be a quest, a Sankofa, to becoming Afrikan again from the first place.Iwakeri takes the reader through a transcontinental overstanding of Afrikan spirituality with special emphasis on the sacred spiritual systems of Fa/Ifa, the Abosom tradition of the Akan, and the Nkisi tradition of the Ba Kongo people of Angola and Zaire. Though not the first to illustrate the commonality of West Afrikan spiritual traditions, Iwakeri is unique in that it takes the reader beyond the conceptual similarities into a realm of integrative Afrikan spiritual practice. Iwakeri provides one with a practical means at inner contemplation and self reflection upon the Afrikan Being. One of its main emphasis is the esoteric nature of the sacred Afrikan scriptures and how to pull that esotericism out while applying its power to our lives to bring us back to greatness.
$15.95. Our second publication, Ajo Inu: The Inner Journey Beyond the Quest , is a philosphically laid out esoteric journey into the deeper saspects of Afrikan spirituality. This second book gets into the depths of what Ifa and Vodun really mean and how these things are to applied in life. Though not necessarily a beginners book on Vodun, it is intended to open up the esoteric dialogue of Afrikan metaphysics that Medahochi K.O. Zannu begin to teach about in the 1980s. Inspired by his spiritual father, Medahochi, Awotunde has attempted to bring out the divine mysteries of the secret chambers of West Afrikan spirituality to a broader Afrikan audience. Topics covered include:
spiritual nationalism

ancient Afrikan number metaphysics
the esoteric meaning of creation from the Vodun perspective
divine symbolism from the Ba Kongo Nkisi spiritual tradition
transcendance from the Afrikan perspective
How does Man reach within "up" to the Eternal?This book is a must read for any serious student of esoteric spiritual philsophy and Afrikan xexemedodo *("metaphysics"). $14.95 New Afrikan Vodun Volume I: Rites of Spiritual Nationalism answers to the call of many who wanted to know some of the systematic approaches to the New Afrikan Vodun philosophy. For the first time since its introduction to New Afrikan people by the Honorable Akoda, Medahochi- Kofi Omowale Zannu, New Afrikan Vodun is given an international voice in print through this first of a three volume set detailing the nationalistic spiritual way of life designed specifically for North American-born Afrikan people; descendants of slaves and ex-slaves. Important subjects such as retrieving one's spiritual or soul day name, honoring the deity of one,s day of birth, nationalism in application to Afrikan spirituality, and the putting of Hoodoo in its proper perspective as it relates to the rest of Afrikan spirituality make this work a must have for those serious students of Afrikan spirituality, and those wishing to truly develop in the way of the Kwanzaa principle of kujichagulia; self determination. $13.50. New Afrikan Vodun Volume II: From Kintu to Muntu , explores a more detailed look at the actual practice of the New Afrikan Vodun spiritual system. Clarifications on Ancestral Reverence and nationalism have been addressed in this book along with a detailed look at the Afrikan cosmology as it relates to our everyday lives. In many Central West Afrikan traditions a person is considered a kintu (thing;something animated) until he/she can go through the proper equisites and prove that they have become Muntu or a divine being. This book is written with this purpose in mind to retrieving Afrikan people's spiritual minds and wholeness.Read excerpts and purchase at: www.newafrikanvodun.com/iwakeri.htmlClick our banner below to access our website.
