    Readers may also want to read more about this great African priestess,artist,sculptor and religious thinker of Austrian origin at http://www.afrikanet.info There have been fewer Europeans-Africans more impressive than this artist who devoted her life to African religion at a time when the colonialists and imperialists were preaching that everything African was primitive. She embraced Yoruba culture and religion with a total commitment which is seldom found in our opportunistic world.
