An instructive video on the most controversial entities in the Yoruba tradition: the Iyami. The Iyami are one of the Karmic enforcers of the universe. They, along with Eshu, are the entities which are the hub and spoke on the saying, “What goes around, comes around.” all references in the Odu Ifa speak of the harm they bring to individuals, usually as the result of breaking universal law.
Sphinx of Nubian King Taharqa
We were so excited about this article, we have reprinted it in its entirety. So many have visions of Egyptians looking like Elizabeth Taylor. The truth is, the Egyptians were a conglomerate of people of Semitic and Nubian heritage. The Europeans were so offended that black people created such a massive and powerful civilization that they systematically destroyed the noses and lips of most of the pharaohs to hide their African features. Now, there is convincing evidence of the existence of of the black African pharaohs. Enjoy from http://digital journal.com
Archaeologists have discovered a monumental statue of an ancient black Egyptian pharaoh of the Nubian 25th Dynasty in Dangeil, Sudan, about 350 kilometres northeast of the capital, Khartoum.
The granite statue of the warrior pharaoh Taharqa weighs one ton, according to its discoverer, Dr Caroline Rocheleau of the North Carolina Museum of Art, who added it was:
Blue Moon
There will be a blue moon this Thursday on New Year’s eve December 31, 2009. Modern scientist say that a blue moon occurs when there are two full-moons in one calendar month and occurs approximately every two and a half years. Older definitions of the blue moon are tied with the Christian Ecclesiastical Calendar and determining the date for Easter. An article posted at infoplease.com states that, “In 325 the First Council of Nicaea determined that Easter should fall on the Sunday following the next full moon after the vernal (spring) equinox…The vernal equinox was considered by the church to fall on Mar. 21. The paschal, or Easter, moon is the full moon…which falls after (but not on) Mar. 21. Some years have 13 full moons rather than 12. A year with 13 full moons threw off the ecclesiastical calendar which only accounts for 12 moons. This 13th moon was called the Blue Moon, occurred around Easter, and by these accounts, is very rare.
In the current image the moon does appear blue, however this is not always the case. Scientist say the blue color arises from dust particles in the atmosphere between the earth and the moon. We don’t care what causes this. We love it when it is blue.
“As fall ends and it is the morning of the winter solstice, Oya prepares us for
the inevitable death that lies before us and within us.” Deanna Oloyade Lowman
Seasons happen like clockwork. So do the workings that occur within them.
When winter comes, the emotional state of people changes. The diminishing
sunlight affects moods, health, and sleeping habits. There are aspects of
living that will begin to resemble death and those situations surrounding it.

After the confusing energies of November 29th, the monthly reading for December advises continued introspection but promises the opportunity or redemption and release. Oyeku, a universal feminine energy which brings confinement, restriction, introspection and sometimes comfort is out of sorts in the male position and creates restlessness. We may have been moody and restless during this time flushing through memories and emotions over past familial relationships. Ancestors of both positive and negative character have tended to hover near bringing influences and demanding attention. These energies have forced us to look at ourselves through the reflections of our ancestor’s faces to find out who we truly are (Otura). We are, in part, what our ancestors made and taught us. Yet the higher self demands that our true self emerge from our cocoons. This month is a time of separating the chaff from the wheat of self. Those old beliefs and traditions of our ancestors which no longer support our higher growth need to be sifted away.
During this time it is important to examine our selves based upon whose life are we living. Are we making choices from our Higher Self or are we re-living the lives of our parents? Are we expressing our deepest creativity or are we stuck in the matrix re-living the same pains and disappointments over and over again? The energies of this period provide the opportunity to interact with our ancestors, to understand and release those beliefs and traditions which have served their purpose and now impede our growth. We have the opportunity to harvest those truths which support us and elevate our collective ancestry.

”What we are seeking is near us; nothing prevents our seeing it save ignorance”
Feeling a little uncertain; confused maybe; or in an emotional flux trying to understand the emotional issues which have been presented to you during the past week? The energy for this day is telling us to look within ourselves for the answers to our problems. What is manifesting in the environment is the result of old belief systems which have been held onto long past their time. Often, these beliefs were created in the childhood and have been acted out in relationships; intimate, work, creative, over and over again. Often, we project blame onto those around us for our pain: You did this! You did that! God did or didn’t do this or that. The real issue is that our environment simply reflects back to us our beliefs whether these beliefs are conscious or unconscious. Our beliefs taint our perceptions and often times, we miss what is really going on.
How to Heal the Unconscious Mind The energy for today says that we need to look within for the answers to the problem. How many of us are willing to do the internal processing required to heal ourselves and environment? What beliefs are you holding onto that have triggered unpleasant experiences in your life and what experiences continue to be a life time pattern? Some of us are fully aware of the issue and have not chosen to address it. Some of us know there is something there but don’t know how to get to the root. Here are some steps to help find and then change your beliefs.
