Daughter of the Blade and the Waves

About Me

I am a priestess of Ogun and daughter of Yemaya in the Orisha Tradition. I am Apetebii Afaya to Baba Rony, Oche Sa, and Mother of three beautiful children. Daughter, Friend, Sister, Madrina, Teacher, and Healer.Along with my husband, I run a small love filled ile in the Houston, TX metro area, where we promote love, unity, and respect within all branches of Yoruba traditions. We advocate this path as an ancient system of worship within the Yoruba cosmology, and as a means of achieving spiritual balance, good character, and personal growth; not as a magic quick fix pill, a get out of jail free card, or a means by which to do evil, or to gain personal control over others.
