Galate
15 Nove 2023
Long ago, in the midst of slavery, the ancestors met together in secret creating many ways to ensure the survival of Black people on Earth and in spirit. Some managed to preserve languages and traditions from the motherland while others adapted to the unfair system of their enemies. But one goal remained: our people will return home one way or another. Klous Divara, (commonly known in the community as Oladu Bembe) a high respected priest and root worker, was determined to set this goal in motion. In 1792, he invited a small group of slaves to create a connection with the old god, Yeshua, and ensure a guaranteed paradise for those who pass into the spirit realm. They called this paradise "Galate", home for the ancestors and the future.
