Yemanyà
For some days it is definitely blurred the opportunity to teach in Eritrea, because the Liceo Marconi replied that a candidate had responded positively after me and then, because I called after 24 hours time, I'm all right ... In fact, even in these days I'm thinking: I just rode. Then there is beautiful I come home and there's Jonah. If I went in Eritrea do not think I would have brought with me.
Last night, returning home from the city, I met a friend of mine Cuban Maydelin, had not seen for a long time: I found that was a year in Venezuela by his parents.
talked and talked he told me that when he was there he was baptized and began his journey in Cuban Santeria: did the ritual to find out who is the daughter in the pantheon of dèi.E did do well in its boyfriend, Trent doc. He then said that there is only one Babalao Trento, a priest decided to talk to the santero.Ho Babalao and, perhaps, to take la via della santeria.
La fascinazione per il candomblè, la santeria ed il vodoo, mi vien in particolare da un seminario molto bello cui partecipai alcuni anni fa, quando lavoravo per una cooperativa sociale. La principale relatrice era una letterata-filosofa-antropologa brasiliana che fa parte del Dipartimento di Filosofia di Verona, quello di Adriana Cavarero e Luisa Muraro.Ci parlò del Brasile, della sua storia, di esso come laboratorio, sofferto e sofferente della mescolanza ed accettazione culturale tra la componente bianca e quella africana e india e ci fece vedere il docu-film di Mika Kaurimaki "No moro no Brasil". Lei ci parlò, in termini molto sintetici perchè è fondamentale la segretezza, of his experience as a fully initiated candomblè.Mi remember thinking immediately that I wanted to contact her later to get me started, too. Then the sensations gradually became more unstable, more and more present fear and then I dimenticai.Anche then if I borrowed a book of photographs overtime (which I have yet to return two years or so ...), the African voodoo. I know it will seem crazy, but the opportunity to cultivate a true "syncretism" in my person, including the Marxist method of historical analysis, which is very much a part of me-I notice when I teach how I teach one-and animist spirit.
The good old Castro, a couple of years ago, when Hurricane Katrina threatened Cuba, has bid for Yemanya the sea, the sea goddess, who embodies the Nuestra Senora de la Regla, the patron of the Bay of Havana.
friends, you love me anyway? Even if your eyes look like a acting nasty?
However, I feel so Yemanya, with my love for the color blue ...
