INCANTATIONS 

Eke Eke Eke

Ekelem unu ọ

Gada Gada Gada

Gather together in my throat

O ancient parents

Come in all of you

Come and sit in my chest

Use my breath

This breath our breath

Breasts of foremothers

Founding souls

Spirit guides come come

Come and sit

Use our throats.

EKE EKE EKE

Ekelem unu ọ

Gada Gada Gada

Gather together around my shoulders

ISE.
