Public reading ceremony , talk and food - Candomblé and Roma traditions
📅
For the third time at Teatro Munganga, Mameto Kaloyá will conduct a public oracle session, honoring the Roma tradition of public divination.
The ceremony begins with anonymous questions placed into a shared vessel and drawn at random. They can be about any subject.
Following this, three participants will be invited to pose direct questions to the oracle.
Luna (formerly Delphine Bedel) artist, Coach and founder Divine by Design and a member of the Tulip Society, will share reflections on the symbols of tarot de Marseille, a sacred optical art dating from the 14th century, which they learned to read with tarot master Alejandro Jodorowsky in Paris.
Luna will offer a reading as part of their ongoing research on the art of tarot, archetypes and divinatory languages.
The session will be guided by Mameto Kaloyá, a non-binary, queer descendant of the Roma diaspora, born in the Candomblé tradition (Maroon communities and houses in Brazil). Kaloyá is an Egbomi (often translated as ‘young priestess’) of the House of Redandá (Cipó-Guaçu, Brazil), and works with different card systems and the Jogo de Búzios (cowrie shell oracle).
🍲 The evening will also offer food, space for conversation, and time to connect in community.
