III - AN ACTUAL MYTHOLOGY
Gods Ifa and Eshû take on the way a morning ; Duduwa tidied their to cover the earth. They had the authorisation to push shouts. They could howl; but, God knows although Ifa, finished but without edges, could reside only silent. IT knows also that Eshu, that is the master of the movement as much that that gods would howl for two.Ifa and Eshu decided to begin their trip in EUROPE. In what country to begin the trip, if this is not by the France. But, they do it slowly.
I suggest you to take knowledge in first , the great lines of the subject - THE TRIP ; then, take knowledge of essential characteristics of gods Ifa and Eshu : - GODS -; before to read NOTEBOOKS. Of course, this is only a suggestion; we are on Internet and we are in the life ; consequently, you are free !
INTRODUCTION
AS A CONTINUATION ...
The site " The visitors" is the extension of the reflection to which I invite you in the project " THE THINKING AND ITS OBJECT © " whose written support is " The WATCH MAKER OF KOUTI ; The Beginning © " ( in french only for the moment ). With " The VISITORS © " , I would want to exit the reflection of the purely African framework and its developments to the black men Diaspora, to approach the more general scheme of the man.To realise this, I have imagined that god Ifa and Eshu, that are the two divinities of the thought of Adja - Mina - Yoruba peoples, whose legend's purpose, is the man and the company of men ; I have therefore imagined that these divinities trip trough the life of men in its three components that are the past, the present and the future. My ambition will not be to make the tour of the question, but only to extract some aspects on which the reflection will carry on.
Here also, as in my other sites, it will be question only my viewpoint. It will be necessary to consider it thus, and to avoid to make some absolutely the reflection of a group, same informal, persons whose purpose would be to defend their chapel. I have no chapel.
To invite you to a reflection without giving you the opportunity to tell your opinions wound have no senses; and in definitive, this would not be honest to refuse to hear you. Here is why, but also
because I some have need, you can intervene, if you to wish it, in the debate between Ifa, Eshu and men.
To intervene yes; but, and you have to understand it, in the framework that I would have defined. This framework and the reasons of its existence are specified to you in the introduction to the " NOTEBOOKS " .
To finish, allow - me to thank you for your visit. The Gods Ifa and Eshu thank you equally. We hope all the three that you will return numerous to this site and that you will not hesitate to howl if you judge it necessary.
