As people who follow the Christian doctrine prepare for the Easter holy day, and those who follow Judaism finish up Passover, there are others who are ensconced in spiritual or religious rituals older than those.
Many acknowledge the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere through ceremonies that predate the appearance of Christ, Mohammad & Moses. There are those who engage in fetes that celebrate the essence, beauty and exquisite powers from Africa.
Throughout the African Diaspora in the Americas and the Caribe, there are folks who have retained or recaptured the spiritual gatherings in the celebration of the West African-based Orisa spirituality.
It is during this time, until the summer, there are many festival celebrating the Orisa named Osun. This Orisa is spelled and called many ways in the Diaspora Ochun, Oshun, Shola, Erzulie.
