Careful public reflection on character, destiny, spirituality, meaning, and practitioner interpretation without presenting one house as universal.
Public Theology
The warning signs every aleyo should recognize before choosing a godparent in Santería/Lukumí: fear, dependency, religious education and accountability.
Public Theology
Orisha is not confined to a religious house. Explore prayer in nature, godparents, personal devotion, offerings, lineage, and ceremonial authority in Lucumí.
Public Theology
A personal account of a diloggún reading and Ochun's message about keeping promises, honoring spiritual obligations, and protecting the goodness of her children.
Public Theology
Explore how the Diloggún, lived experience, and respect for all religions can guide compassion, accountability, and each person’s spiritual path.
Public Theology
Why does Santería initiation cost money? Understand the materials, community labor, priestly responsibility, sacrifice, and sacred value behind Kariocha without reducing Orisha to a price.
Public Theology
Kariocha is not a spiritual upgrade. It is entry into priesthood, followed by discipline, iyaworaje, responsibility, intention, and a lifelong relationship with Orisha.
Public Theology
A reported Ifá reform decision in Nigeria and a separate Spanish court case raise a shared ethical question: what responsibility follows when a person entrusts spiritual guidance and money to a religious authority?
Public Theology
One surprising reading can be dismissed as coincidence. Years of specific confirmations, predictions, and post-ebó outcomes create a different question. Keith Lawrence Miller explores cumulative evidence, research, and the lived reality of Orisha.
Public Theology
Orisha does not need fruit, candles, money, or anything else human beings can provide. Keith Lawrence Miller explores ebó as intervention, sacrifice as transformation, and why love may be the deepest offering we can give.
Public Theology
Wanting Ocha and being called to Ocha are different things. Keith Lawrence Miller explores calling, correction, accountability, spiritual responsibility, and why guidance from Orisha cannot be reduced to human preference.
Public Theology
Books can teach Odú, history, prayers, and religious concepts. Fundashe reaches deeper. Keith Lawrence Miller explores why sacred understanding must be earned, why character matters to Orisha, and why spiritual authority carries responsibility.
Public Theology
Keith Lawrence Miller explores ebó as the point where Diloggún moves from identifying a spiritual condition to prescribed action, intervention, and resolution.
Public Theology
People often come to Diloggún knowing exactly what hurts. Elegguá may reveal that the source lies somewhere else. Keith Lawrence Miller explores why practitioners must follow the condition, confirm what emerges, and resist forcing divination toward the answer a client expects.
Public Theology
A practitioner-led explanation of Diloggún as communication through Elegguá, the role of Odú, consecration, Fundashe, Ocha, and ebó.
Public Theology
Learn what Ashe means in Santería / Regla de Ocha / Lucumí, including sacred life force, divine energy, the spoken word, Orishas, ancestors, character, destiny, and spiritual alignment.
Public Theology
In Regla de Ocha (Santería), the universe is not an empty void managed by a distant god. It is alive, pulsing with divine energy known as Ashe, and governed by immense spiritual forces known as the Orishas.
