\nThis view of the altar shows my Clay Vessel for the Waters of the World in the foreground. Filled with water from many sources, ritual participants were invited to add or take water from the vessel. Altar building was led by Uzuri Amini\/Iya Oshogbo and assisted by myself, Mkali Hashiki, and students and friends of Ile Orunmila Oshun.
