And yet another page in the Rinkan Memoir
So a few things happened over the last few days. Some talk about making "god-fur" characters for things and whatnot made me do some heavier diving into the histories surrounding my own heritage in Brazil, namely the rise of some spiritual religions that grew and shifted with the slave trade that occurred during the heavy presence of the Spanish, before the Portuguese had shifted to having control of what would be the country of Brazil. A lot of similarities came into play between the Afro-Brasiliero and the Afro-Cubano (my other half of the bloodline as it were) and the Yoruban diaspora of religion mixing with Catholicism would give birth to a huge cultural-religious practice that is still present in those regions today! (More so Cuba than Brazil but you get me)
Long story short, I've kinda gotten really into the delving into history and religion, and may be adding in a character I'm writing up based on the gatekeeper Oricha, Elegbá. A trickster in his own right among other things. Featured colors being red and black, and in a particularly interesting tidbit of facts about him - you must please him and gain his favor before he can open the way to the other orichas (spirit-gods) being able to come into the world, opening the "way" for those who seek the orichas.
So yea. That's a thing I'm working on owo
