Oro Shango

Oro Shango aka Curtis Hutson is a native son of Garrett County in far western Maryland. Raised in a small railroad town, he had the advantage of having 4 parents. After losing their youngest son to the Vietnam War, Oro's grandparents invited his parents to move in and take over things, and at the same time help raise Oro and his siblings.

Raised as a United Methodist by his grandmother, Oro found himself drifting away from Christianity due to many unanswered questions. 

The belief in "nothing" lasted for 5 years, including 3 years in the Army. In 1985, he met Miss Paula and found out what it meant to be Pagan.
 
From the early days of school Oro's favorite subjects to study have always been World history and World religions and adding the beliefs of his Ancestors from Europe and the Celtic Pagan ways seemed only natural.

Oro was introduced to the internet in the early 90's and has been involved with it ever since.

27 years of over the road truck driving--including 10 years running as a team with Miss Paula was how Oro spent the first half of his life. He has been on every piece of Interstate highway in the lower 48 with many trips into Canada. With no chargeable accidents on his driving record and over 6 million miles covered in a commercial vehicle, Oro retired from the road July 14th, 2010, and turned his attention to the Internet full time.

2001 and the "Wheel" turns again. Lukumi came into the spiritual picture by way of a reading from a Babalawo and a lightning strike and today Oro and Miss Paula share in their beliefs in Egun (Ancestors), Olofi (God), and Orisha because of a special day in August that year.

Together they co-host 3 shows on KDCL Media, which cover such topics as Ifa/Lucumi, Ancestor reverence, current events such as Mountain Top Removal coal mining and Marcellus shale gas, local happenings, and the story of their personal journey through this thing called LIFE.

He hosts Steppin’ Thru The Looking Glass with rescue medium, Diane Green a show exploring spiritual gifts and their development.





Miss Paula

My family and Oro’s have been intertwined since our grandmothers were children. His great grandmother would often bring her daughters and visit my great grandparents’ farm and our mothers were friends in high school.

After high school and community college, I moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1979 where I attended many pow-wows that sparked an interest in Native American beliefs. Working part-time at a cousin’s store bordering the Sauk and Fox tribal lands provided many opportunities to learn. A move to Denver, Colorado, in 1980, where I discovered paganism, began attending psychic and renaissance faires, began studying world religions and learning to read tarot cards.

Our paths crossed again in the fall of 1985 and we were married in January 1986. A few months later I was taking my test for a license to drive tractor-trailer, and for the next ten years we spent most of our time driving back and forth hauling produce, paper, and just about anything you can name across the country while living in Ft. Worth, Texas.

We moved ‘home’ to become caregivers for my paternal grandmother in 1997 and in 2001 a bolt of lightning changed the course of our lives, and set us on a different spiritual path.

I am an Apetebi nee Orumila in Cuban Ifa, and Omo Obatala with a path to receive asiento in Lukumi. I still read tarot, and am developing my abilities as a medium.
