	The Knot - Orisha & John: A Celestial-Theme Wedding in Phoenix, AZ

		Orisha and her mother made the broom themselves, "not only to match our celestial theme but also so that it would be able to 'stand the test of time' as a memento of our union," John says.

	ORISHA SELF ASSESSMENT DIAGNOSTIC CHARTS
		These Orishas represent attributes of transformation, energy, vibrations, sounds, and polarities and correspond with several planetary influences, anatomy, physiology, pathologies, and physical and mental afflictions.
		The Orisha internals are vibratory forces which can convey the attributes of the Orishas, as a poet does by words in evoking certain emotions and feelings in the body.
		One way of applying Orisha diagnosis has been simply to equate pathology with Orisha energy modes -- "signs" and "symptoms" alone are then the basis of diagnosing a disease pattern.

		In mythology the orisha are children and ministers of the one supreme God, Olodumare; in modern devotional practice individual orisha are treated as almost independent deities, each with its own cult centres, praise songs (oriki) and prayers.
