What's New?
The spring ebbo for Oshun was beautiful and by all accounts successful. We thank everyone who contributed and attended to make this wonderful event. The next big one is scheduled for August 2017. As you know if you're in touch with us though, our ile's Queen and I are daily observant, and give offerings to Oshun every week. If you have a matter of the heart or prosperity issues or just want us to send a thanks to Oshun on your behalf, click here to donate. You can also visit our Ceremonies and Rootwork page for more details.

Ile Baalat Teva in Israel celebrated Yemaya Day 2013. It was a beautiful day, as if the sun was shining and the weather was warm just for us and others giving offerings to Yemaya and Olokun. The weather was actually warm enough for us to get into the water without…

On October 9, 2013, we went to visit the temple of Hathor in Timna. This was the first Kemetic temple in the diaspora, and it was built to serve the copper miners there. It was a very long drive from Haifa, but it was so worth it. Little remains of…

November 26, 2012 Offerings to Eshu and Oshun
Eshu’s law (something like Murphy’s law) was heavy in the air, likely because I tried giving my Eshu doll vapor instead of smoke. He did NOT like that. So of course even though I was sure I had packed an extra camera battery for my trip to Tiberias, I had…
