African studies of Black Gods and Goddesses. It is a native religion to the Yoruba people. It originated in Africa and then spread to Cuba. The origin of this study was organically developed and secretly taught by Black slaves–from the early of times when the slave trade and imprisonment of Blacks was established by Colonialism. The Orishas relates to Black Magic and Black Witchcraft, which is why it is so controversial to some because the origin of this study is strongly criminalized by traditional institutions that sprung off of American patriotism and systemic racism. The creation of Orishas was taught and popularized by Black ancestors. It was important to them because it was used to aid and guide them by spirit and soul during the slave trades and cruel treatment of Blacks. This threaten the White Brothers, as the African Brothers and Sisters would seek freedom from their spirited guides and angels. Christianity was the only socially acceptable choice of Faith. Anything other than that–spoke to outsiders of the Magic World as “psychotic” and “criminal” except it was the similar teachings of the Orishas, and it was stripped of its influence during the Colonial times.
Colonialism has negatively impacted the influence of Orishas by deeming it as bad spirituality and casting people off as“kooks” who use it as a spirit tool for generational transformation and fighting against systemic oppression

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
