About Me

"Born from the Womb of MAgesty I embrace the world in love, I dance about creation with the feet of prophecy and my laughter brings joy to the Creator's throne...."
I grauated from Catholic Univeristy of America.. well in May (2005). I am a Black Native American, Cuban, Nigerian Man Woman, a cabaret singer, a writer, dancer, actor as well as a historian, christian mystic, Queer Priestess/Shaman, and devote of the Orisha tradition called Lucumi. I recently did a cabaret called Priestess Rising with my band the Afro Blue Collective and am planning another one in December, once again, in honor of Eggun (ancestors). I am currently trying to find a publishing company for my book called "In the Begining...". I am also working on a thesis about the true meaning of the Adam and Eve story, as well as a new book called Scared Profane, a collection of poems, stories, hymns and psalms about the Feminine Divine in all her beautiful forms...I also work at a Vet Clinic...Oh, I also have a myspace music page...

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

Which Orisha Crowns You?
Oya - Oya is one of the most powerful African Goddesses (Orishas). A Warrior-Queen, much of Oya's power is rooted in the natural world; She is the Goddess of thunder, lightning, tornadoes, winds, rainstorms and hurricanes. A Fire Goddess, it is Oya who brings rapid change and aids us in both inner and outer transformation. Oya is the guardian of the realm between life and death; as such, She is not only the Goddess of spirit communication, funerals and cemeteries but also the Goddess of clairvoyance, psychic abilities, intuition and rebirth. She can call forth the spirit of death, or hold it back -- such is the extent of Her power. Because of Her affiliation to the dead, and Her intense knowledge of the magick arts, Oya is also known as "the Great Mother of the Elders of the Night (Witches)". Oya is both loved and feared, and for good reason: unleashed, Oya is the Savage Warrior, the Protective Mother, She whose power sweeps all injustice, deceit and dishonesty from Her path. She will destroy villages if the need is true enough, for while She understands everything, She will only accept, act upon, and speak the truth (even when it is hard to bear). Oya is the protectress of women and patron of feminine leadership. Fiercely loving, She is wildly unpredictable and can change from benevolent, caring Mother to destructive Warrior in the blink of an eye. Passionate, fearless, sensual and independent, Oya is not a Goddess to be invoked lightly and must be treated with respect and care. While She will toss you in Her storms of change, and shelter you in Her caring embrace, She will also strike you down with Her lightning should the need arise. However, do not let that dissuade you from working with Oya, for She is the Strong Woman, the Bringer of Change and Seeker of Truth, who can be a most powerful ally.
