Listen in to this episode of Ask-A-Priest where someone asked the question of why do Africans scam others in the religious community. Listen in for the beginning of this conversation.

Welcome to the Orisha Wisdom Podcast.  This is an Ask-A-Priest episode where a big question is asked and I'll post the whole thing here "Hi, my girlfriend is Cuban ( lived here in the uk for many years) and her father is a priest in the religion. He has suggested I have my three day ceremony to obtain my “Life Sign” but I’m anxious because one I’m new to this religion but want to do it for my girlfriend and two I have this feeling of mistrust with him because of things that have happened and been said in the past because he has asked Orula in some big decisions that I feel my girlfriend and myself should make as two grown adults. He has been in the religion for twenty plus years but is involved in every decision we make plus I mistrust the business side of the religion and feel he may be abusing it for self gain from myself. I might be completely wrong but the doubt is constantly on my mind . Am I overthinking the religion aspects?

We could be called to initiate into the mysteries of Orisa.  But... how?  What?  How much?  What does it take?  Listen to this very candid conversation with someone who at the time of this recording was a Iyawo.  We are grateful for his time, and for him openly sharing his experiences with us.
