Hello! Tired to send an e-mail but it came back undeliverable, so here it is! Hola! My screen name is "chomperchomper" Its an old screen name that I originally used to join a few yahoo groups, so I stuck with it! It is my nickname for one of dogs, Ginger, who is a rowdy little thing who loves to playfully bite everything! I am an Aleyo. I have been aware of Lukumi/Yoruba/Santeria for a while now, and am drawn to what I see is a beautiful and strong faith. I like the structure, discipline and traditions that are involved. The calling I felt began about 10 years ago when I became friends with a co-worker at the Food Co-op in Cleveland. She was on the path of initiation in the Yoruban religion and became a child of yemaya. I was intrigued with the process she underwent as part of her year-long inititaion. It was brilliantly fascinating to me that she was required to wear the whites fir that year. She was so beautiful in her new life! But I was not meant to be tere at that point, and life's little (and major) distractions took over and preoccupied me until I was ready to learn. It began anew with me when I heard the name Chango and it sent a current of electricity running up my neck! I have been peripherally involved with the neo-pagan/Wiccan religions for a long time, but it never really sang to me as the African ancestorial paths do. I believe, as many people do, that the human race developed in Africa and that Guinan(?) is our birthrgiht and is calling us home. I wish to find people in the Austin texas area where I currently reside(although I was happily welcomed into the world in Chicago!), but with the necessary secretive nature of La Regla, it is very difficult. I am pleased to have stumbled upon this group. I have been reading through all of the posts and info on the sight. I tend to be somewhat of a lurker, but that is simply due to my shyness, which I am slowly overcoming. With blessings, "Chomperchomper"

Alafia Tony:
Who did you send the message to? Perhaps you should simply post your private email address and someone can then contact you on how to proceed. Ota Omi is the best suited for technical problem resolution ;D
