HOODOO CAST - Ep. 5: Akan Ritual Specialists as Hoodoo People: Oduyefo, Odunsinfo, Odumafo, Odutofo

HOODOO CAST: Podcast for Authentic Hoodoo - Akan Ancestral Religion in North America

In this special solo episode Odwirafo elucidates the linguistic, cosmological and ritual identity of four classes of Akan ritual practitioners: Oduyefo, Odunsinfo, Odumafo and Odutofo. These titles were preserved in our spiri-genetic blood-circles to North America and form the basis of Hoodoo (Odu, Ndu) ritual functions: Hoodoo-yefo, Hoodoo-sinfo, Hoodoo-mafo, Hoodoo-tofo - root workers, root doctors, diviners, poisoners.

Odwirafo also examines how these ritual functions govern every aspect of our lives as manifest through the sacred Akan symbolism of Okrakonmuade.
