In her own words from her book "
I consider myself to be an energetic spirit, an astral traveler, an adventurer, a woman, a mother, a grand and great grandmother, a priestess, a lover, a Tai-Chi Chuan master and an unique personality. Other people consider me a character, unusual and an individual. I agree with them, I think that my fearlessness is what distinguishes me from my friends; I was raised that way. Whenever I would tell my father that I wanted to do something, he would say, "Why not, what can I do to help you?" I feel I came to the planet complete this time; my yin and yang balanced. I have been told many times when consulting the oracle (IFA), that although I have Osun on my head, I have a strong Ogun energy; that I do things that most women would be afraid to do. At spiritual gatherings I have been told that I have a strong Asian energy walking with me; hence, Tai Chi. Ike said he was surprised at the reception I received in both Macao and Beijing. I cried when I saw the movie the Last Emperor. Japan also is close to me somehow, I have chanted Nam Myoho Renge Kyo since 1965, and I have felt as though I was once a Samurai."
