Summary
In this episode, the guest, Nana Sula, discusses Mami Wata, a water spirit in West African origin religions. Mami Wata represents healing, the mother of the ocean and all waters, and deep truth. She teaches us to treat the environment with respect and coexist with other living entities. The rituals and customs associated with Mami Wata include pouring libation, offering drink offerings, and making offerings of champagne, fruit, sweet bread, and flowers. Other water spirits mentioned include Oshun, Yemoja, and Papiwata. The importance of honoring all spiritual traditions and finding one's own path is also emphasized. In this conversation, Nana Sula, a priestess of Mami Wata, discusses the importance of healing religious trauma and the power of rituals. She shares a ritual for releasing trauma, which involves writing out the pain, burying it in a sacred wooded area, and offering tobacco and rum. Nana Sula emphasizes the need for kindness, peace, and healing in humanity, and encourages individuals to connect with their own spirituality and trust their own healing journey. She also discusses her books, including 'Spirit of the Orisha' and 'Mami Wata Dream and Manifestation Journal', and her upcoming recording project of Mami Wata chants.
