I keep affirming that voices can even say there is initiation in 3 days, like a miojo, 3 minutes; But you can't claim that it is TRADITIONAL to do it even if it is TRADitional YORUBA.
You can even say there is initiation in 3 days but you cannot claim it is TRADITIONAL YORUBA
Did the loruba say that to you? Did you ask him if his great-grandfather or great-grandfather was initiated in 3 days? Have you ever asked priests if they do the same things to their carnal sons or is it just us foreigners?
We who come from candomblé, who spend 21 or more days collected for an initiation, we hear from our elders that this was TRADITION, a habit maintained since the inception of candomblé as a religion.
In this sense, I repeat, as indignation: where and why do we stop believing in this maximum?
Would spiritual fast-food be the new movement of the decade, the rush to be a priest in Brazil, the false validation given by the lorubas with titles received in the funds of the houses, without the prerogative of going to the market to show the local population that there is one more effective member in that locality or family?
If the entry into the religious community, the spiritual family, does not keep the commitment to the values and principles of that tradition, this "initiation" cannot be called neither true nor traditional.
If we do not stop to question and question this trade of faith and poor initiations, we will end the walk of a religion, anticipating its end.
