Iyami: the Witches of Africa with Raphael Kakazu

A class on the Ancestral Mothers, the Iyami, mistresses of mystery and carriers of the primordial feminine power within African cosmologies. We will explore their ambivalent nature: protective and destructive, nurturing and vengeful, weavers of destiny and guardians of ancestral wisdom. A deep immersion into what it means to fear them, honor them, and recognize them as an active and living spiritual force.
