We have grown up and lived with a whitewashed and colonised mentality that has been despising our natural authentic powers....Muti if used well can be a positive productive power... Every black culture has its own spiritual technology arsenal...people and animals are still healed from physical ailments, In my country Lesotho we heal animals' broken bones with a spiritual technology called Thobela, from evil spirits afflictions, weather and natural disasters are still combatted with spiritual technology...I believe we can repel typhoons and hurricanes with our technology...we should be exporting that skill to Asian and American countries prone to hurricanes...I wouldn't be blogging about this if I didn't feel so deeply about it....Our "creation" factory produces black souls with innate powers everyday but everyday black souls die with their powers untapped....breaks my heart...
Simply because many of us have been programmed to relegate our powers to witchcraft and sorcery...we look upon our traditional healers strangely and people who choose to consult them are made to feel "heathen...pagan" sometimes they get stoned to death....makes me want to puke......I asked an old friend I was in varsity with some twenty something years back who is now a shaman to evaluate this post before I publish it and Shaman Nozipho Hoohlo had this to say "Remember as people mostly our African people are scared of their light. Anything African is considered dark/ untested. look at the story of dagga, for years we knew it had healing powers but Europeans made us believe it was all bad. But tobacco has been killing folks since slaves left Africa. Muti is an African medical practice. Cheers to Africa's self discovery."
But what then do we do to people who abuse muti by engaging in witchcraft and sorcery? We overhaul our judiciary and legal systems - make them align with our consciousness.. Make them address our own challenges... Maybe even set up WITCHCRAFT COURTS. The moral of story is "live your black lives the most black way its blackily possible"
Actionable idea: I consulted with a THOBELA HEALING SPECIALIST in my village and he has agreed to train me...I will lead you through the process with a video later but I will be trying to use my new acquired skill on people too...gotta get some add-on to my first aid skill set...about time we evolve our powers....
