My Godfather Shloma Rosenberg Afolabí Awoyoyomí’s (iba’ye) crowning Orisha Yemoja! I have never before or since seen a more beautiful altar for an Orisha. I miss Yemoja Assesu and Shloma (iba’ye) so much! <3
The level of detail on this Oju Yemoja is stunning. The mazo was so heavy! And Yemoja’s tinaja is handmade and rests on top of another tinaja, also handmade, which is inside a large bowl full of plates from the 23 priests Shloma (iba’ye) crowned before he died. On top of her are two crowns (I remember three, though?), between which are holding up the gorgeous cloth that makes her cape in this photograph. In the lower left of the photograph is, I believe, Otin, a rare Orisha who is the servant of Yemoja.

I don’t have any problem with that. If the person is initiated and is a priest or priestess, whatever change he or she decides to make with his body, that’s their thing…. One of the first people to be initiated in this country was transsexual. She was initiated as a woman. She was a child of Oshún.Shloma Rosenberg, Afolabí Awoyoyomí (iba’ye layen t’onu), Priest of Yemoja Assesu with 19 years in Ocha. Quoted as ‘anonymous Santero’ in Queering Creole Spiritual Traditions (2004) by Randy P. Conner with David Hatfield Sparks.
