- W2491738656 abstract "In January 2003, a group of over 800 babalaos, or Ifá divination priests, gathered together in Havana, Cuba, to read the “Letter of the Year,” an annual divination ceremony that forecasts the social, political, and economic climate for the coming year. The group of both Cuban and foreign diviners was organized by the Miguel Febles Padrón Commission (CMFP), which, since 1986, has united a number of otherwise independent divination priests to annually carry out the ceremony. Although it has been performed intermittently beginning with the first generation of Cuban babalaos, knowledge of the ceremony was until recently largely confined to the island’s Ocha-Ifá (i.e., Santería) communities. Since the late 1980s, however, the Ifá oracle’s prophecies have attracted the attention of the larger Cuban public, as well as the international press. The annual divination ceremony’s increasing public visibility and contested political meanings became clear in the CMFP’s 2003 reading. Aside from the usual predictions of natural disasters, social ills, and war, the CMFP’s reading made what some believed was a cryptic reference to Fidel Castro himself with one of the year’s slogans, “The king turns in his crown before dying.”KeywordsNational IdentityInformal EconomyRival GroupHard CurrencyLocal InterpretationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
