Our Ancestors Hear & See Us: The Role of African Deities and Spirits, Dreams.

[@beautifulaltogether2224]

We are not even worshipping them, but we honor them and we show respect and grattitude for opening the way as they came before us. We only worship The Creator ❤ When we do our rituals we always aknowledge God as the Grand Master and Creator, The Most High and we appreciate our ancestors by our side.

[@TheJagero]

It's always good to give props where props are due, even if they've been chilling in the afterlife for a while. But seriously, I love how you phrased that about the Creator and the ancestors.

I was raise in a Christian family mostly by my grandmother. But as i grow up attending the church I became very naughty as a server. One day at age 12 I told my grandmother I don't want to go church anymore. I opted to check the pots but also gamble with dices. funnily i grew up to love doing cultural sacrifices to my ancestors. I became a musician and now I'm happily living in Europe. Every year or so I go back to South Africa and do traditional or cultural ceremonies for my ancestors. I don't pray to any God but things are working for me!!! I do dream spiritual guiding dreams from my Ancestors!!! Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your story! It's amazing how we connect with different spiritual practices as we grow. While my background is different, I totally get the feeling of honoring your ancestors. What kind of ceremonies do you perform in South Africa?

Wow, what a transformation! It's great that you found a path that works for you, even if it's different from how you were raised. Ancestral connection is a powerful thing - have you ever felt any conflict between your past and present beliefs?

Worshipping our ancestors is a misconception but rather we have to reverence them because they still live through us.

[@alexish8183]

Perfectly said.

[@a.crawley5064]

Reverence, honor, not worship. Anyone asking for worship is pimping.

[@nickycomments]

Both are correct as both are one in the same it’s just cuz we see worship and we think of religion but the actual definition of worship is “the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.”

[@Smokeylucas]

In the spiritual plane, we are all equal. No worship is needed. Honor, acknowledgement is important.

I am named after my father's aunty, apparently when I was born, I cried for days, day and night, until my grandmother dreamt of her late cousin, who said she was me that had come back. As she was barren and was the one who raised my father and his brother, because my grandmother had gone to the city to work as a maid, to raise school fees for her sons. As soon as my grandmother came to visit me and called me her Cousin's name, I stopped crying straight away! I always acknowledge my ancestors, every Sunday I put out food and drinks for them on my alter when we have our Sunday lunch.

[@ancestorbackforthelasttime]

Wow that’s amazing

This is amazing. My 9 years girl named after my grandma git a condition which to date is not clear. Twitching and like getting attack. We rushed her to the best hospital in Nairobi and was given a specialist pediatric and we were being told her electrolytes were not matching. This went in for a week. Within that week, when I was sharing with my dad in her progress, he told me to change the name. Then, my SIL called and told us, a Christian friend has told her that her niece name must be changed. What a coincidence. I told my partner to sleep about the issue as well as me. When we woke up, we came with the same name: Queen Esther of the bible. She was discharged, put on 'phenobab' tables for six months but I got tired after 2nd month and stopped. She is okay to date. The person that we named her, us now named after her baby sister following an incident and she is so fine. We need to treasure our ancestors

Thank you for sharing this video. I have been dreaming of my ancestors since I was a child from 5 years old. When i told my parents about them, my parents identified who these people were. My great great great grand mother, who was about 115 years old, died 90 days before i was born. She was the first ancestor that i saw in the spirit . As i grew up as a teenager to adulthood, I have met more of my ancestors and their deities. I honor them and talk to them everyday still in 2024.

Sister Mildred, for years I prayed to find my Ascendant sign because most of us we're born in Africa without a time of birth...but I studied myself through astrology and pray for this answer and the Universe brought it to me..I AM my father's daughter. He was born in the sign of Sagittarius. i birthed a daughter who's is an sag rising. He died when she was 6 months...she is mini me..because we behave and act the same ..both have sun in Virgo..I found myself...I am Jupiter..Sag Asc..Pluto in 12th house... Moon in Cancer. ..I come from a blood line of Psychics, occultist, and those who know and understand the science of Divination..I embrace it..I am POWER...so now I sit with Spirit and ask for guidance as a Healer. Completed an I/O reading and I am Het-Heru. Asè

[@TheJagero]

Wow, what a powerful reading! Having Jupiter in Sagittarius Ascendant definitely explains your openness and desire to help others. The Virgo Sun adds a grounded, analytical quality that would be perfect for a healer. Do you find the Cancer Moon influences your intuition as well? It's fascinating to hear about your bloodline's connection to divination. Asè to you!

[@nathalie3734]

@TheJagero Asèooo...Cancer is water, as the Sister Mildred educated us on the element of water...I have 4 daughters....the first two father is an igbo..I'm Liberian of the Bassa tribe...that extend from the EAST., hence the Abyassian Church into Cameroon and of course we were pushed to the West. My first born born July 14..her father July 10...My north node is in Scorpio and when I came to US at the age of 5 my Ascendant changed to scorpio..My destiny number is 5..Het-Heru represents the number 5...this year on a Sag new moon the awareness of ALL of this came to light..My daughters, my Hathors are ALL psychic and I let them know each Sunday when we sit in love wirh them that they are DIVINE HUMANS...sitting in love is my way of having devotion..My father was a Reverend/Pastor...he died at the young age of 55...I buried him with all the Christianity bullshit and found Astrology very soon after. I Could NOT accept the bullshit of, " God needed him more" ..he was an African man who felt obligated to take care of his only sister back home and did his best to support the Liberian community as their Spiritual leader. Cancer Moon, Scorpio North node..is confirmation that this lifetime I'm here to serve humanity..to save humanity!

@TheJagero Also have my Masters in Social Work..now moving forward to become a Therapist.

[@TheLilly]

Sister, I have this same issue, I don't have a time of birth. I'm not married and I don't have any children, how do I find my ascendant sign?

[@nathalie3734]

@TheLilly look to one of your parents' Sun sign...and ask the Universe to guide you...the day I knew I was a Sagittarius Rising, was confirmed to me on May 7 of this year when the new Moon went into Sagittarius. Before then, I attracted many friends who were Scorpio and never knew why..so the first astrology sign I delved into learning was Scorpio. I later learned my N.Node was in Scorpio (water), and with my Moon in Cancer, I understood the elemental connection. But who do you attracted.. your friends you draw to yourself. This is over 30 years of me seeking. Right now I'm getting info from my Aunt who would know about my paternal grandmother.. I think that's the line of women I come from.. who practice our science ...African Divination. Ask and you shall receive..that's what I did..study yourself first..bury white man way of worship, and build an Ancestoral alter..with the elements and I keep rice to keep them fed.

[@rositascarborough5751]

Blessings to you both!!!! Glad more and more Africans are returning to the spiritual traditions of their ancestors. Frankly West Africans and South Africans have retained much of their indigenous spiritual traditions because pre-colonial African institutions are still intact and undergoing a revival. Looking forward to learning more about East African spiritual traditions and their similarities to Ixangoma, Voodoun, Ifa, Akom et al.

[@TheJagero]

Blessings to you too! We definitely feel called to share more about East African traditions. You're right, there are fascinating connections between Ixangoma, Voodoun, Ifa, and Akom. In fact the veneration of ancestors is a strong thread across many of these traditions.

[@oluwasoulstar]

I'm so grateful to have come across this discussion and am thankful these practices are being shared more publicly. From a UK perspective there is a growing thirst amongst younger generations of black people of African descent to return to these practices. I'm seeing more psychologists and psychotherapists merging Western 'traditional' modalities with indigenous wisdom.

[@TheJagero]

Hey [Commenter Name], thanks so much for chiming in! It's amazing to hear there's a movement towards reclaiming these practices in the UK, especially among younger generations. The merging of Western therapy and indigenous wisdom sounds fascinating - do you have any specific examples you've come across?

[@rositascarborough5751]

This is absolutely true. Please Google the growing community of astral therapy. Very much incorporates indigenous spiritual and wellness practices.

[@oluwasoulstar]

@@TheJagero I can use myself as an example. I don’t necessarily fit into the category of young but as a ‘geriatric millennial’😄 I have, over the last few years been finding ways to infuse indigenous ways into my practice as a psychotherapist and my life in general. My clients are mainly black women of the diaspora and based in the UK who feel as though the ‘traditional’ western approach isn’t working for them. They are systemically being failed by the mental health care system and looking for alternative ways to understand and work through what is going on for them. I’ve been part of many conversations with fellow practitioners whom are intuitively going back to these traditions but most are not advertising it for fear of being discredited or misrepresented.

[@247globalbeattv]

am glad this awaking is happening in africa, our ways are not bad as we are meant to beliv by the clonialists. i see alot of correlation in what u are saying with the yoruba isese in nigeria. i have since gone back to my ancestral way of worship. it bot reassuring and peaceful knowing you are relationg with someone that understands and knows you deeply. Africa we need to wake up and come back home to our roots, that way only shall we be truly free.

[@JonMarM]

We ARE our ancestors; how can we be anything else? We're always looking for something external to worship and reverence, yet we show so little reverence for others, especially those who look like us today. THESE ARE OUR ANCESTORS! You are infinite beings worshipping past physical manifestations of yourselves yet have forgotten your divinity. Then we create labels and terms like "African Spirituality" "Native American Spirituality" or "Viking Spirituality" as if everyone really has their own personal God. I can assure you there is ONLY One. Spirituality doesn't need an adjective to describe it as it can only be described as the antithesis to physicality. The rituals we use are products of culture, no matter what we may believe. WE ARE THE ENERGETIC BEINGS THAT GIVE THESE RITUALS THEIR POWER. The universal laws STILL work the same regardless of the religious belief, but there's a much healthier and easier way to interact and manipulate the field. Religion/Rituals are like manipulating the world from with a prison cell vs creating our own reality as a free and powerful beings. We MUST snap out of this worship phase, for the longer we worship the longer we remain in servitude. If we're going to worship anyone, let us worship one another.

[@muhammedtrawally1798]

Are you listening to yourself, do you know what worship means? Worship is to belittle yourself in front of a deity (god or whatsoever) . Are you trying to say we belittle ourselves to humans

[@rositascarborough5751]

Brilliantly said. Thank you for sharing this. Agree 100%.

[@TheJagero]

On the ancestor worship point, it's true there's a spectrum. Some cultures might focus more on reverence for past figures, while others emphasize a more present connection to the divine. But maybe it's all part of the same tapestry, you know? Learning from those who came before us can inspire us to be better versions of ourselves, which is a pretty divine goal, wouldn't you say? As for the "One God" vs. many paths idea, that's a debate that's been going on for millennia! There's beauty in the diversity of spiritual expression, even if there's a unifying truth underneath it all. What do you think? Is there room for both personal interpretations and a universal force? Definitely agree with you about moving beyond worship and into co-creation. Maybe that's the ultimate goal - to tap into our own power and work with the universe, not just plead with it. Overall, this is a conversation worth having! Let's keep exploring these ideas together. Who knows, maybe by appreciating both our ancestors and our own potential, we can truly step into that powerful, free state you mentioned.

[@vuyissecretgarden]

Very layered and complex issues and truths with many many cons we don't often speak of. Certain things open more doors than you'd intend, and through those doors shape-shifting entities that can morph into what they want you to believe they are, are there. I salute and honour those that came before me, but, one must be so delicate and careful when operating in the ancestral realms. Some things seem appealing because they resonate with the spiritual or African aspects of us, but when you dig deeper... they aren't the thing we believe we are co-signing on. The most untained force is the Supreme One, look towards the Most High. I'm glad the Bible was mentioned many time. The Bible is a deeply African text and reclaiming it and all the allegories obtained is a key to deeper understanding the confines of ancestral worship. Much love ✌🏾🌻

The ancestors are above the orishas. Before any Trisha ceremony can begin the ancestors have to be honored first. Nothing can move forward if if ancestors do not agree with it. They are closer to us than orishas because we carry their blood.

Haibo Orishas are god and Goddesses (AMAKHOSI), so AMATHONGO reports to Gods and goddesses. Our ancestors reports to AMATHONGO.

[@IndigoWisdom1]

I get what you mean, with respect. It's not as simple as you stated it, for EGUNGUN is an orisa/irunmole. Even then, yes the Orisa teach us to honor and pay reverence to our ancestors as the original communion (taking us all the way back to original Source) with all that is. The living book of Eji Ogbe states: "One's Mother/Father is one's iśeśe (traditionalism), it is iśeśe we ought to appease before appeasing any Oriśa." So what you are saying makes sense but just if you flesh it out you see they all lead back to Olodumare, the Supreme Being/Creator. 🙏🏾

[@IndigoWisdom1]

@@TRUTHTEACHER2007and yes gods is a junk term used by envious colonizers so they do not have to give respect to the brilliant pantheon/cosmological heirarchy that other religions contain. It's a weird word to apply it to indigenous religion in that we have intermediaries between us and God just as any religion or philosophy does. It is to degrade our beliefs and put us into the category of those in the bible who "worship other gods before me". Again a way to divide, conquer and attack. ✅

Great video. Happy to see this subject brought up to KZbin and really debated in a very right way. Brazil we have the normal Catholic church that's a series of empty rituals in a strange hierarchy, but as me , as an ancestor from African people got the whole theogony from Yorubá natural religions that link us to Orixás, guidance of consciousness in a simple translation. Think all religions practiced with honesty are good, not harming no one, and Jewish religion that produced the christianisn has importance as a moral code, but much more in Jesus loving all humans. I, have been in Umbanda, a dona from Xangô, Yemanjá and Omolu, the triad of my crown. Important is to see that every story is an attempt to reach the highest plan with our limitations. Thank you. Cheers from Brasil! Axé!

This is a great Vid & the senses of concepts with the pantheon & how so many of us misconceive or even prompted to view the ALL or SOURCE is not to be confused to the figures tied to God of religious texts as the SUPREME GOD of ALL THAT EXIST & in most cases dieties can be seen in a conceptual context relative to angles & arch angles or Elohim that are just factions of The ALL - thru divine hierarchy systems or levels.

[@TheJagero]

Love the views & expressions mentioned here & am not to tell ppl to not be Christian but For me, when we speak about the ties & origins or concepts associated with the Orisha (as example) the pantheon is based off Egyptian dieties based of Annunaki lineages have roots to "ways of life" that aren't synonymous to the foundations of Christianity for Science & Metaphysics existed before the concept of RELIGION for the original ideal of religion was introduced during the times of ancient Sumeria with the Story of creation for Annunaki (by common right) felt they should be worshipped for the "gift" of life & knowledge bestowed upon modern man/humanity.

[@TheJagero]

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Religion is much younger than the ideas and practices explored in many cultures. The connections between deities and ways of life are fascinating, and it's interesting to see how different cultures have interpreted these concepts. Perhaps in a future video, we can explore deeper into the origins of specific pantheons!

[@SPQR748]

I first contacted my dead father after thinking to myself that the people where I was living were trying to kill me. He spoke saying that I should get out of town. This shocked me tremendously. Later on after my wife and I bought a house, I was painting the bathroom and my maternal grandmother spoke saying that the paint was her favorite color. I asked her why she never spoke to me before and she said that I never owned a house before. What difference does that make, I asked and she replied that there’s rules amongst the dead. She informed me also that they are not supposed to help the living however most do anyway. I asked her to help me and she said that she doesn’t break the rules 😹

Not everyone in the family can be called ancestors because some die with bad name he or she are rich but never help the family and some are also good so know whom you called as ancestors in your family , know yourself as spiritual awakening ❤❤❤

True.. which is why many of us use the term 'righteous ancestor' in reference to those who were benevolent.

[@michaelloswijk8873]

Great content! Thank you. I have a question. As a son of the african Diaspora living in South America I feel very saddened with how my ancestors were treated by our brothers and sisters in Africa. I am slowly coming to a point that I believe that we have loaded a generational curse upon ourselves by these deeds. This can be seen in our community over here but also in Africa. Can you touch at this subject some other time? What role did our spirituality play in this debacle?

[@TheJagero]

Your perspective as a son of the African Diaspora living in South America is incredibly valuable. The historical wounds are deep and have undoubtedly had a lasting impact on communities both in Africa and the Diaspora. This deserves careful exploration and thoughtful discussion. I appreciate your suggestion to delve deeper into this subject. It's essential to engage in open and honest conversations about our shared history to foster healing and understanding. Regarding the role of spirituality, I believe it can be a powerful tool for both individual and collective healing. I'm open to exploring this theme further in future content.

The thing is that your ancestors are you, and your DNA reflects all your ancestors. If you can take time for yourself, meditate and worship from within as you correctly interact with nature, you will be worshipping your ancestors. It's not something that we are supposed to do externally.

The Afrobeats music revolution is another manifestation of returning ancestors. Special mention to Asake, Omah Lay, Rema and Burna Boy for understanding the assignment and following instructions diligently. Study their music especially visual references and symbology. The latest to join this bandwagon is Stoneboy from Ghana under the mentorship of the great Angelique Kidjo who is a devout child of Voodoun.

[@rositascarborough5751]

People ask why Afrobeats is dominating the globe……….it is a vehicle for African ancestral veneration on a massive scale and the universe understands the frequency.

[@TheJagero]

Woah, that's a deep take on the Afrobeats movement! Αναστάσεις (Anastasis) - the return of the ancestors - is a powerful concept. Definitely gonna dig deeper into the visuals and symbology you mentioned, especially with Stoneboy's new stuff. Thanks for opening my eyes to a whole new layer!

[@rositascarborough5751]

Yes please watch Stoneboy music video with Angelique Kidjo. They are celebrating the feast of Osun. Omah Lay’s music video Soso is a peon to the Orishas; Asake has several music videos including Yoga and Organize……Rema’s hugely successful concert in London was a tribute to his ancestors and specifically his ancestor the Woman King India of Benin whose sacred mask still remains stolen by the British sitting in the London museum. Regarding the comment about One God, I actually think we are saying the same thing………the Buddhists have the premise of non duality ie all life is the One and the One is all manifestations. There is no separation….. so the many paths IS the One God because all life is interconnected and interdependent. African spirituality espoused exactly the same concept and was always accommodating of many paths unlike foreign imposed dogmatic religions. Once you understand that nothing is separate from you, there is no need or point in quarreling.

[@rositascarborough5751]

Burna Boy’s music video with the gorillas is deeply spiritual and an ode to the spiritual totem of his people. There is a reason why he uses that symbol. Relisten to the song he did for Beyoncé…..Ja’re.

Luos never used to build slabs on graves. We planted trees. Growing up, there were tree that were never cut. When I grew up, my uncle started showing me different trees and the people whose graves they represented

[@TheJagero]

Perhaps the use of slabs is a more recent development. Maybe other viewers can share their experiences with Luo burial traditions. Have you seen a shift from trees to slabs in your community?

[@JagemYala]

@@TheJagero yes, there's a shift. But note that trees signify the continuity of life. We communicated with our ancestors through those trees and animals that's why you'd always find a revered bull 'rwath' named after a dead person in most homes.

@jagero do you know someone who can interpret dreams please let me know if you do

[@Hist247]

Even if Africans worshipped their ancestors there is nothing wrong with such practice. Indeed, calling it devil worship is the same nonsense used the describe traditions and practices before Christianity and Islam as Pagan, whatever that is supposed to mean. While the authors of the Pagan narrative basked in their new religions, look harder and one will find all the 'pagan' icons and rituals in their new religion. To create new shiny things, one must first bury the traditional. There is nothing more than this.

[@TheJagero]

You're absolutely right, ancestor veneration is a common practice across many cultures and holds a lot of meaning for those who participate. There's definitely a history of demonizing other belief systems, and "pagan" is a term that's been thrown around a lot.

A glass of water and a white candle are both powerful symbols. Water can represent emotions, cleansing, or reflection, while a white candle often signifies hope, purity, or a spiritual connection. It's possible this dream is pointing to something important in your life. Have you been feeling particularly emotional or seeking clarity in a situation?
