Interpreting The Letters Of The Year With Oba Pichardo

Greetings H2O Family,

On Monday Jan 17th the H2O Network will have elder Lucumi priest Oba Pichardo on to explain the Letters of The Year that were brought down by the elders in Cuba for the world. The H2O Network is notorious for bringing all indigenous tribes together, so for those who are not apart of the lucumi tradition, One might ask, What are The Letters Of The Year? It's a process that take's place every New Year by which the elders of the Lucumi/Yoruba spiritual traditions throw the Odu (Cowrie Shells that have open mouths; Odu means Womb) to predict the possible energy for the up-coming year; a forecast of sorts revealing the potential good, and the bad of the year. Attached below is this year's reading of the year, and on the show this evening Oba Pichardo will go into further detail about what is being presented here. I hope that you join us this evening! Remember, if you can't get to the internet you can always listen-in via your phone 917-889-7207.
