“Olofi made Oya . . . and then he realized he'd done and quickly made Oshun.”

Israel Morrow
“In West African traditions, land belongs to the person who works it. Produce belongs to the person who grows it. Whatever is created belongs to the creators—not to the God that created them, and certainly not to the colonist or slavemaster.”
Israel Morrow, Gods of the Flesh: A Skeptic's Journey Through Sex, Politics and Religion
