They say knowledge is power, because with its acquisition, our minds are broadened to further possibilities that our earlier state of ignorance is unaware of...the space between ignorance and that of gnosis is what we call 'growth'. So what are you ready to learn about your Ancestral Traditions today to increase your own sense of power? A start for those new to the African Knowledge systems is our Home-Study Course, which consists of 2 films and a book - you can opt for the digital or physical version as you feel comfortable. https://gumroad.com/l/avdighomestudy/ LINK IN BIO 'COURSES' #knowledge #knowledgeispower #knowledgeofself #study #studygram #stool #stools #golden #goldenstool #asante #ashanti #power #sense #ancestralvoices #ancestral_voices https://www.instagram.com/p/CQOXw0dDQi0/?utm_medium=tumblr

"The First Day of the Yam Custom" by @godfrieddonkor at @gallery1957 . Godfried Donkor’s new body of work reimagines an illustration by the 19th century English explorer Thomas Bowdich, now held in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London and thought to be the first recorded image of the visual aesthetic and culture of the Asante region of Ghana. Created in 1818,The First Day of the Yam Custom depicts a procession from the annual Asante yam festival in Kumasi, an event held to mark the first harvest of yams during the autumn season. Sent to West Africa by the Royal African Company – a British commerce corporation – Bowdich was employed to negotiate a treaty with the king of the Asante region: Osei Bonsu. Bowdich’s image, and verbal description of the 1817 procession, was documented in his resulting publication, Mission From Cape Coast Castle to Asantee. . . 📷: Nana Osei - 2017 . . #gallery1957 #Accra #Ghana #Africa #art #firstdayoftheyamcustom #godfrieddonkor #painting #history #asante #british #goldenstool #asantehene #oseibonsu #thomasbowdich #illustration #trade #documentation #streetstyle #artphotography #exhibition (at Gallery 1957)

10-YEAR TESTIMONIAL; OBJECTS OF POWER It was a blessing indeed to enter the shrine of the descendants of Okomfo Anokye, the Akan priest of renown who brought into being the famed Golden Stool of the Asantes of modern-day Ghana. It was a long, good day spent, sitting at the feet of the elders and being enlightened on the traditions and functions in maintaining cohesion in the community it serves. Great insights into how spiritual guardians work with objects of power, such as the upside-down calabash pictured with nails works. The incantations, the herbs contained with and how it all worked to aid its use. It 'delivered justice; any items stolen or unduly taken from you, it will have returned'. This was its role, a fascinating time it was indeed and interesting how in reflection, these memorable times informed the content of our online courses...the beauty of learning - each one, teach one.
