Nonc, I couldn't pull it up but I know you ain't lying. There are a lot of transgendered and satanic white folks pushing Vodou these days. They are also pushing New Orleans Voodoo and trying to claim rootwork (hoodoo). It is a thriving community of these culture vultures.
African Americans are going back to the traditions and one of the main focuses is on bloodline. Some of us are even going back to Africa to bring back obscure traditions that we have in our blood. The ancestors are making that happen as it is not just Yoruba, Vodoun, Akan or Bakongo anymore that is available. Bori and Ndepp plus Komo are coming over now. I suspect more as more AAs hear the call of the ancestors. I plan on finding more about Bateke traditions and those of Equatorial Africa. I have some Bateke and Equatorial spirits around me and they have been vexing me recently.
Brother Blackbird,
You may want to re-think your position on doing work/readings for only family and close friends. You would be a really good asset to blacks here in the states. You really understand in context the importance of blood plus you have a really good knowledge of other systems besides the Big 4 that you named that are prevalent in the states.
Give me an idea on how much more you think spiritual power would manifest through a said person if he/she had a bit of Yoruba blood and got crowned Esu but then got initiated into the Bori tradition of which he/she had tons of blood?
