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.

Buffalo Talk With Skuya Fasthorse From The Lakota Nation

Greetings H2O family,
Buffalo Talk with Skuya Fasthorse was awesome this evening! One of the things that I love about Buffalo Talk is that not only is it a place to receive medicine from the elders, but it's also a place to receive knowledge from the callers. We had a caller named David who called from Texas who is apart of the youth, and let me tell you we got a wonderful ear full.

So many times the elders, and everyone in between don't give the youth the time that they deserve to be heard in this reality of existence due to the believe we have with youth, and the ideologies that surround the word itself. As a result, Adults miss the opportunity to hear the Creator speak through them, hence, delivering important messages of wisdom that can change the way we perceive life, and the world that we participate in. The youth have so much to say as proved tonight by Buffalo Talks wonderful caller David; let's listen because  societies sacred objects are our children, as stated so beautifully by Skuya Fasthorse on this evening's show! Thank you, David, and Skuya for your medicine to the people. AHO! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theh2onetwork/2011/01/21/buffalo-talk-with-skuya-fasthorse-from-the-lakota-nation

CBLA Farm Program

Greetings Family,
Recently,  teacher & Lucumi Priest of 40 years, Oba Ernesto Pichardo has presented a wonderful project to the world; The Church of The Lukumi Babalu Aye Farm Project. The program focuses on bringing the community together regardless of what one practices in the African Diaspora, and saving the planet that most take for granted. More importantly, the project brings together the local, and global communities; thus, connecting individuals from a deeper place of understanding of ones environment, self, and one's community.

The CBLA project will focus on incentives that deal in the area of sustainability, which includes farming, organic gardening, herbal medicine, nutrition, along with many other wonderful projects.

One of the most important programs that the Farm Project has created is the ECO Team program. This program focuses on rescuing medicinal plants in areas that have been abused by man due to garbage dumping, and waste left in the environment. In addition, it will provide a place where Lucumi practitioners can recycle scared herbs that are used for ceremony, hence providing a place where used herbs can be recycled and not thrown away. An extra benefit is that the Program will beautify the area, at the same time saving the place we call home.

There's so much beauty that this Program will bring to the world. I will most definitely keep the H2O family posted on the Farm's progress. Please check out the video posted above, and please pass it along to individuals in your network. If you would like more information about how to donate, and or volunteer with CBLA's Farm Program please e-mail Oba Pichardo at: olukumi@hotmail.com

The Process Of Divination With Author Ocha Ni' Lele

Greetings Family,

This evening The H2O Network will have regular family member Ocha Ni' Lele discussing the process of Lucumi Divination with the shells. I am so grateful to have him discussing this topic because divination in the Lucumi system is very complex in nature, and in my opinion is not studied/talked about enough. So please, join us this evening @ 7:00pm EST, remember if you can't get to a computer you can always listen-in via your phone 1917-889-7207

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.

Following a twenty five year tradition tradition, the Comisión Organized for the Sign of the Year met on the 31st of December, 2010 at the Casa Templo located at #1509 10 de Octubre Avenue, between Josefina and Gertrudis Streets, the Vibora section of the 10 de Octubre Municipality, Havana, Cuba.

This ceremony was presided over by the priest of Ifá Guillermo Diago, Ogbe Weñe, with the support of Ifá priests of all of the familias of Cuba and their descendants around the World; the youngest priest took out the sign.

Reigning Sign: BABA EYIOBE (Double Salvation)

The distribution of this document is free and the Commission takes no responsibility for its sale by the unscrupulous, whose motives are mercenary.

ILLNESSES TO WATCH OUT FOR:

1. Brain circulation disorders (embolisms, hemmorages, etc.).
2. Serious respiratory problems (acute tuberculosis).
3. Opthalmological disorders.
4. Bone disorders.

OCCURENCES OF SOCIAL CONCERN:

1. Intense drought in the beginning of the year, followed by isolated rain.
2. Deaths of elders and renowned personalities.
3. The dangers of war and conflicts.
4. Increase in sea levels.
5. Commercial openings and the increase of exports and imports.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Reform or wholly eliminate old political structures in order to enjoy a new social order.
Take care of and make safe elders within the family.
Give opportunities to the young within family and social units.
Make constant and liberal offerings to Oggún, Yemayá, and Olokun.

Note: Draw from the postive examples (advances) and negative examples (errors) cited in the years 1959, 1989, 1995, 1998, and 2004, where this odu reigned.

Complying with these recommendations, for sure we will enjoy a prosperous 2011.

SAYINGS OF THE ODU:

Dead king, replaced king.
Cascarilla [efún] destroys the power of darkness.
A board from a tree floating in the water looks like a live person.
Young palm trees grow much taller and leafier than old ones.
On the road the foliage is the witness of evil; on the road the foliage is the witness of good. If today we are doing well, tomorrow we'll be lamenting inordinate errors.

Our Commission is grateful to the vast means of communication that make it possible for the predictions of the year to reach every corner of the world.

The Miguel Febles Padrón Commision Organized for the Sign of the Year
wishes you a Happy and Prosperous 2011
