La Letra del Año, or Odu of the Year, is a forecast offered to the community as a result of the Lucumi divination ceremony held by a council of babalawos in Cuba. Announced on January 1st, this “reading” provides a sacred blueprint and predictions for the year ahead.
Annually, CCCADI hosts a panel of Lucumi priests (oluwos, oba oriates, and oloshas) for an evening of multi-generational dialogue on the cultural, social, and philosophical implications of that year’s forecast.
Join us on January 14th, 2027 via Zoom. All are welcome to participate in this virtual discussion!
Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and engage in dialogue throughout the program. To receive the link to the virtual program, you must register in advance.
*This program is not a divination ceremony nor meant to replace the wisdom and guidance of Lucumí elders and practitioners across the globe who also divine on behalf of their countries, regions, and iles (religious houses and temples).
*In Yorubaland, the ceremony is usually conducted during the Odun Ifa Festival later in the Gregorian Calendar.
Este programa contará con un intérprete de español.
