PURPOSE OF ROOTS AND ROOTED.ORGRoots and Rooted is for those devotees, priests, spiritual seekers and academics that are interested in Traditional African (Afrikan) Religion. This site is about spiritual empowerment and evolution, political and social justice, cultural reorientation and respect for tradition and history. Roots and Rooted is one of the oldest surviving web sites dedicated exclusively to traditional Afrikan spirituality/religion. Imageine that.ORIGINS OF ROOTS AND ROOTED.ORG Roots and Rooted borrows its moniker from a poem of the same name, which was written by the webmaster. The site began around 1998 and functions as a one-stop web portal that focuses primarily on Yoruba Orisa'Ifa concepts, but advocates strongly for communication and collaboration among all African indigenous spiritual faiths. This site is decidely Africentric in nature, but has always appealed and supported interests outside of the African community. We are especially proud of the lasting bonds that have been forged between African and Chicano/Latinos, through the existence of this site. We hope that others take note and duplicate those efforts.
All of us seek our roots. Western society leaves all disconnected as it encourages us to place our trust in material goods and ways of living that were engineered by marketing firms. More and more people of all ethnicities are turning to Africa to find the solace, focus and regeneration that they need in life. We are proud to be around for so long and more proud to have helped so many people connect to spiritual houses, genuine resources and new friendships.
May the African divinity that governs your life bring you enlightenment and balance.INTERACTIVE MAP - CLICK IT Get this widget! Visit the Widget Gallery
