Iba Olokun Part 2.

NOTE: see link for Part 1:
   • EOOI - Iba Olokun Part 1  

In this 2nd presentation of Iba Olokun, after successful spiritual consultation with her Oluwo (Ifa Priest) was completed (in Part 1), Afiya (Omoleye) proceeds to visit and consult her Spiritual Mother (Mother and Teacher Karlene Fraser), as it relates to the meaning of her dream. Mother Karlene explains the meaning of the dream, and also explains how the ancestors and elders of yesteryear executed the traditional tray sailing of cooked food and sweets to the energies of the Sea and Ocean, a ritual which has been practiced and preserved by the local Orisa Traditionalists of Trinidad and Tobago. Apart from being granted the consent to execute, Afiya is also given instructions for preparation by her spiritual mother. She gathers her family and proceeds to give the Ebo for the Imale (Energies) of the Ocean, as seen in the dream.
Apart from Olokun, the following energies are saluted in Oriki in this video production (Ibeji, Erinle, Yemoja and Osun), which are also energies associate with water in Trinidad and Tobago.
