- **Event Name**: We Have Known the Waters 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 10 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: African and African American cosmology both have treated water with reverence and as sacred. Water is not only considered the giver of life but is also home to a pantheon of their gods. In the realm of spirituality, water itself is a living entity, as such can punish (droughts) and bring lushness to villages (floods). There are many rituals and ceremonies that pay homage to the water spirits as places of purification, healing and regeneration that guide everyday life. In the seven African Orishas, two have dominion over aspects of water.

In this presentation, we'll look at rituals such as water drumming, crop blessings, and we'll end with a water ceremony.

Join us for an evening with Angela da Silva: a St. Louis-based cultural preservationist, independent historian, educator, playwright, performer, and pioneer of Black history tourism, launching the National Black Tourism Network in 1998.
