The White Priestess of Black Magic

Bent double by age, the high-priestess of Nigeria's Yoruba spirit-world shuffles forward from under the trees, reaching out a white, blotchy hand in welcome.

Mrs Wenger resurrected the traditions of the river-god Osun​

Half a lifetime ago, Susanne Wenger dedicated herself to reviving the traditions of the pre-Christian Yoruba gods, "the orishas", and left Austria to make Nigeria her home.

The frail 94-year-old artist, with one seeing eye, has been a driving force in Osogbo town, where she is in charge of the sacred grove, a place where spirits of the river and trees are said to live.

Maybe you can call Susanne our saviour​

"Maybe you can call Susanne our saviour," says Mr Ajala, now the high-priest of Sango, the lightning-god.

"Was Christ an African? Muhammad was an Arabian. Why can't our saviour be European?"

Susanne's knowledge of the behaviour and character of all the deities means she has actually become Yoruba now​

"It's a disgrace to the Yoruba that the person who came to save our culture was a European," he says.

"But Susanne's knowledge of the behaviour and character of all the deities means she has actually become Yoruba now."

To hell with that! White people can't even access certain entities, so its impossible for them to "revive" a tradition. That's straight propaganda being perpetuated by westerners with strongholds in Nigeria.

African spirituality is COMPLETELY and TOTALLY dependent on one's bloodline ties to that tradition. There is NO WAY around that.
