**AKIYESI!**  Tragic Fire Hits Oyotunji Village
We thank everyone for their prayers and support during this time.  On the morning of September 2, 2018, a fire struck the village completely burning down our Sacred Ṣàngó Temple and Oyo Horseman reception building.  Our first and foremost priority at this time is to restore our beloved Ṣàngó temple.  A secure account has been set up in his honor solely to ensure expeditious restoration. 
We thank you in advance for your love and support. 
​Forward Movement!
