“Esu is a central concept to understanding the Yoruba culture both as it appears on the west coast of Africa as well as in the many places that Yoruba culture has spread along with the African diaspora. Toyin Falola writes the first chapter in Esu: Yoruba God, Power, and the Imaginative Frontiers as a brief introduction to the nature of the deity that is so important to Yoruba thought. This post will summarize the first chapter of the book and lay the groundwork for upcoming posts that will take a deeper look at the rest of the chapters from the book. This first post is dedicated as an offering to Esu and their many manifestation throughout the Yoruba world. Elegua, abra los caminos que llegan a entendimiento y liberacion pa’ nosotros porfavor.”

It is believed that the custom of making jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween began in Ireland. In the 19th century, “turnips or mangel wurzels, hollowed out to act as lanterns and often carved with grotesque faces,” were used at Halloween in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. In these Gaelic-speaking regions, Halloween was also the festival of Samhain and was seen as a time when supernatural beings (the Aos Sí), and the souls of the dead, roamed the earth.

LAS MUERTAS: FOTÓGRAFO CREA UN TRIBUTO COLORIDO PARA EL DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS. 

El Día de los Muertos es una celebración algo colorido para un día tan sombrío. Para celebrar el día de fiesta, el fotógrafo Tim Tadder hizo la serie de Las Muertas. Cada uno de las modelos representan una temporada: invierno, primavera, verano y otoño. El maquillaje es representativa del arte tradicional del Día de los Muertos. Los colores son muy a propósito, también, ya que es probablemente la fiesta más colorida de los muertos.

imagine hating brown people so much that you think your poverty justifies the killing of people (who are probably poorer than you!! Lol!!) overseas??

I’m poor so it’s justified I join what I *know* to be an imperialist force that is destabilizing foreign nations?? For the sake of my own upward mobility I must enable foreign invasion??

would love to see Americans/Canadians/Brits stand up for this logic if it was poor Iraqis or Syrians coming HERE to bomb the shit out of their hometown. ‘It sucks they killed my family but !! They needed college tuition so I totally get it’
