    Ayodeji Ifasetutu Karade, Intuitive Reader/Honoring the Legacy of Stonewall: Pride 2020

    Ayodeji Ifasetutu Karade, also known as Leslie Scott-Jones, is an Intuitive Reader and Ifa Diviner.  Ayodeji Ifasetutu Karade is also a member of the LGBTQ+ community. According to Wikipedia, "Ifá is a Yoruba religion and system of divination...Ifá is practiced throughout the Americas, West Africa, and the Canary Islands, in the form of a complex religious system, and plays a critical role in the traditions of Santería, Candomblé, Palo, Umbanda, Vodou, and other Afro-American faiths, as well as in some traditional African religions."  If you think you are unfamiliar with imagery and deities associated with Ifa, you are just unaware of how much they are a part of your daily life.  For example, in entertainment, we see Beyonce clad in flowing yellows and gold gowns in the video for "Hold Up", as well as her iconic performance (while pregnant with twins!) of "Love Drought" at the 2017 Grammy Awards. Her choice of colors and drape, as well as her accessories are a direct homage to the goddess Osun.  "Ọṣun, is an Orisha, a spirit, a deity, or a goddess that reflects one of the manifestations of the Yorùbá Supreme Being in the Ifá oral literature and Yoruba-based religions. She is one of the most popular and venerated Orishas. Osun is an important river deity among the Yorùbá people. She is the goddess of divinity, femininity, fertility, beauty and love. She is connected to destiny and divination." Another example is one you are sure to be familiar with. Starbuck's unmistakeable two-tailed mermaid logo is an exact  representation of the "Mother of Everything", an Orisha named Yemoja, who has been syncretized with The Virgin Mary.  "Yemoja is often depicted as a mermaid, and is associated with the moon, water, and feminine mysteries. She is the protector of women. She governs everything pertaining to women; particularly the birth and bearing of children - childbirth, conception, parenting, child safety, love, and healing. According to myth, when her waters broke, it caused a great flood creating rivers and streams and the first mortal humans were created from her womb"  And now you know! Wikipedia contributors.
