: I have Yemini patterns, but I've got to go out to do lectures until
: Sunday .... so I can't get them out to you until next week.....
: Henna is, as far as I can tell, really not ever used in any
tradition
: in mourning. It's very closely connected with the celebration of
: life, love, passion, joy .... and is used on all those occasions.
Yenini patterns sound great. I think what I was looking for was a
way to remember Ofra Haza - she had such a beautiful voice. I have a
video of songs she made back in the early to mid 80s (very dated) and
at one point she's dressed up traditionally - very pretty.
Thanks,
