Roots and Rooted
This site is for devotees, priests, academics and other parties that are interested in Traditional African Spirituality. It is a comprehensive site composed of original articles, news, interviews, photo galleries, cultural resources, a temple directory and discussion board.
We stress empowerment, spiritual growth and evolution, study, perservance, cultural reorientation, political and social justice and environmental consciousness from an Afrikan perspective.
Roots and Rooted is for those that love traditional african religion!
Roots and Rooted borrows its moniker from a poem of the same name, which was written by the webmaster. The site began around 1998 and functions as a one-stop web portal that focuses primarily on Yoruba Orisa'Ifa concepts, but advocates strongly for communication and collaboration among all African indigenous spiritual faiths. This site is decidely Africentric in nature, but has always appealed and supported interests outside of the African community. We are especially proud of the lasting bonds that have been forged between African and Chicano/Latinos, through the existence of this site. We hope that others take note and duplicate those efforts.
All of us seek our roots. Western society leaves all disconnected as it encourages us to place our trust in material goods and ways of living that were engineered by marketing firms. More and more people of all ethnicities are turning to Africa to find the solace, focus and regeneration that they need in life. We are proud to be around for so long and more proud to have helped so many people connect to spiritual houses, genuine resources and new friendships.
May the African divinity that governs your life bring you enlightenment and balance.
