In Nigeria, Ancestral Spirituality Resurges

In the same way that Black voices are silenced in the mainstream, it started centuries ago with silencing the essence of African Spiritual systems. It was defined through a Eurocentric and Arabised lens from a religious viewpoint, no effort was made to understand its principles as espoused by them, but rather they had to be fit into the oppressive religions framework! We see this clearly as an example in the conflation of angels or demons or djins which can be benevolent or evil - emissaries of the Almighty God. Yet no such direct correlation exists in African Spirituality because the aspects of Elemental energy present within our physical makeup and the Environment - the Neter, Orisha, Abosom, Nkisi etc don't function in the same way as that of the religious conceptions. When we do not make efforts to comprehensively understand the Ancestral systems, we will also be lacking in our ability to utilise them effectively in living - our HOME-STUDY COURSE; comprising 7-years of research uniting the key principles, dispels all ignorance...

In Igbo the history of the Igbos no title is more important to the advancement of science and spirituality. A Dibia is an individual who's Chi has brought them the calling of healing, learning, and advancing knowledge of the physical and spiritual world - hence the term 'After God There's Dibia'. In this video I explain what a Dibia is, what Igbo people believe makes a Dibia special, how to become a dibia, and how to become an african healer.

Region: Guyana, SOUTH AMERICA System/Religion: Comfa Comfa aka. Komfa/Kumfah is focused on the Water Mumma, or Goddess of the water. The full moon and black water are important in the timing and placing of ceremonies which is normally defined by elements of ecstatic, trancelike dancing, and spirit possession, induced by drumming. It is practiced in Guyana, mainly by the descendants of enslaved Africans. According to sociolinguist Kean Gibson, the foremost expert on Guyanese Comfa, the religion is currently practiced by about 10 percent of the country’s African-Guyanese population. Cultural historian Brian Moore also indicated that in postcolonial Guyana, the religious practices designated by the term Cumfo were also referred to as Watermama in honor of the river. Wikipedia describes Comfa as a mixture of Odinani, Akan, Kongo, and Yoruba religion and knowledge traditions, along with Indigenous American, Asian, and European elements.
