Her ancestors are wise, not her.... she is a vessel. I know things I don't even know how I know. Be open to ancestral knowledge maAfrika. Our history, culture, books and spirituality were destroyed. Precolonial ancestors as far back as 100 000 years ago want history re-written, they are back, exposing and throwing the yoke of deceit away. But they are spirit, requiring live bodies and minds to use. I just agreed after running away for a long time

I met a man in India in a jewelry story in Rishikesh, North India. I sat down and just started reading me. I didn't't go for a reading. I asked him if he charged, he said no, because he didn't't want to be influenced by money. He owned a jewelry store. In India, the male deities have a female consorts. India and Africa are similar in their orientation towards the divine. I completed an Ayurveda course in Kerela, South India. The teacher explained that South Indian culture was matriarchal with things passed down on the mother line, but the British changed the practice/laws and changed the entire makeup of the society as well as the status of women. It's important to note, that some south Indians are darker than people on the continent of Africa.😊

Ooh my, it's clear that South Africa is more ahead in their spirituality than we're in Kenya by far. Most of our schools weren't teaching our local languages unless they've started now! We're still very much a British colony to date. I have learnt alot about African spirituality from watching Credo Mutwa videos this past 3 days or so. It's been an eye opening experience. I feel like we lost our africannes if there's anything like that, when we stopped honouring women like in the past. As women, we have been put in a cocoon where they decide what we should wear, how we should dress, what we can or cannot do. Men can be half naked and not women while in the past past women were more free because morals were observed. Now women are seen as enemies and sex objects such that if a woman is harassed, the first question is always how she was dressed as if it's the responsibility of woman to help men keep their zip up. We definitely deed more these conversations as all Africans so we can embrace who we truly are at our core. Thanks

[@frayserken]

in Kenya we tend to adopt anything that comes from outside plus the more you move away from your culture the more one is seem to be "civilised". i mean we pay less regard to our local languages local alcoholic drinks and medicines are discouraged and seen as backward.our local spirituality are heavily fought by our christianised society its a shame but its true

[@nancychristopher6523]

@ken this is beautifully put. Unfortunately, we think adopting the Western ways of living or doing things, we are more "civilised " when in essence, we have lost our ways! Talk these stuff with Kenyan Christians and you're sure to be beaten as if God needs us humans to protect him! I'm glad you've highlighted all our traditions that today seems soo backwards. Unless we go back to our ways, we shall remain colonised in our minds and this affects everything in our lives. We can only liberate ourselves when we become REAL to ourselves. The God that was brought to us is actually our real God (minus the fabricated stories) whom we knew oh so intimately

Damn it .... this is the power of a black woman.

[@DrKhanyiLitchfieldTshabalala]

The power of an Afrikan woman submitting to Afrikan ancestors. I do nothing, I just agree to be a vessel. There's nothing special about me.

I like this part athi u Doc we must also credit African Americans. Because for me to be in this space now it was through them. I can mention a few. Dr Henrik Clarke, John G Jackson, Amos Wilson, Dr Cress Welsing, Dr Ben jochanan, Booker T Coleman, Dr Ray hagins. The list is endless. And what I found interesting is that they are more invested in Africa than the Africans in Africa. ASE'

[@NtsikiMazwai]

Absolutely

[@seripa15]

I always say I have known more about myself and continent through African-Americans.
