In de Kamitic tradishun, de science for manipulating de two magnetic forces which form de essence of all psychic powahs was subsumed in de teachings associated with de symbols of de “deities” Nekhebet, en Uatchet. These powahs were considered so important that that they were made de tutelary “deities” of Kamit.

Nekhebet, which corresponds to de electronegative northern pole of de magnet was de chief protectress of Upper (southern) Kamit. She is depicted as a woman wearing de White crown of Upper Egypt, en holding a lotus sceptre intertwined by a serpent, which together symbolise de electromagnetic forces (de snake) of de psychic centers (de lotuses).
Uatchet, which correspondes to de electropositive southern pole of de magnet, was the chief protectress of Lower (northern) Kamit. She is depicted as a woman wearing de Red crown of lower Kamit, en holding a papyrus sceptre intertwined by a serpent.
Their correspondences to de poles of de magnet are revealed in de ceremony for embalming de dead, where de priest/ess says to de mummy,
“The goddess Uatchet comes into you in de form of de living Auaraut (uraeus), to anoint your head with their flames. She rises up on de left side of your head, and she shines from de right side of your temples without speech; they rise up on your head during each en every hour of de day, even as they do for their father Ra, en through them de terror which you inspire in de holy spirit is increased, en because Uatchet, en Nekhbt rise up on your head where they establish themselves, even as they do upon the brow of Ra, and because they neva leave you, awe of thee is stricken into the souls which are made perfect……”

1. Maat aka. Aje Chagullia, Lakshmi, Tzadki-El….
She likes aloes en anise and….walks with a papyrus sceptre. She achieves abundance. Maat’s sceptre fuses divine law with de abundance that follows from living it. Its color, green, symbolises abundance and fruitfulness, while de papyrus, which was used for writin’, symbolises de book of de law. She realises that even her enemies are integral parts of de whole; en thus works en shares with them.
Seshat raises her consciousness to de hall of de Metu Neter en realises the ultimate unity of all things. There are no irreconcilable opposites in de world. This is de source of undaunted optimism, faith, en inner joy which reveal themselves in a peaceful genuine smile en relaxed (Hetep) state of being in de midst of setbacks en de greatest of external difficulties.
Maat (de divine law) is de food en drink of Ra (de Life-force). She nourishes her Ra with de divine law, en gives endlessly of her love (shares seeking nothing in return). There is no end to her worldly fortune as her giving is answered from de depths of Nut.
Perseverance in adhering to a belief system based on the cosmological arrangement en synthesis of divine laws, such as achieved through de Tree of Life, leads to success in all undertakings, as de view of unity that is concealed in de midst of de municipalities that life presents to us, is neva lost.
A collection of wise sayings, en divine laws, however true cannot save us, if they are not arranged into an integral system of guiding us in our day to day existence. We have seen how de abstract analogies re/presented in dis blog, especially de symbols of de Tree of Life, serve to unify specifics across general categories. Unless de elements making up our belief system (whether secular, or religious) are unified in dis manner, they become enslaving agents of dogma, instead of vehicles of salvation…..

Spiritual Counsel
When you receive a Maat reading, you are being counselled to stop on your forward movement to achieve your goal, en to meditate on de abstract principles that will enable you to acquire a broad view of de subject at hand….
The arousal of de life-force (Chi, Ra, Kundalini) through joy and pleasure, especially when ecstatic, provides de motive force for de accomplishment of our minor goals, en vitalization of de will. Unfortunately, most people are ignorant of this fact, en surpress their joyfulness waiting for success and overindulge their passions en neva know why they have so much difficulty carrying out their will, concentrating etc….
Whenever you receive an Oshun reading you are being reminded that de purpose of indulging pleasurable (or negative) sensations is for de arousal of Ra. When they are combined with your visualisations (daydreams, meditations) of occurrences in your life ( past en future), they are given powah to manifest. In de same vein, you are being warned against wasting your life-force through over-indulgence, in order to avoid weakening your constitution en de ability to achieve your will….
However pragmatic en necessary for de manipulashun of physical phenomena, de mastery of definishuns, names en descripshuns – de fundamental elements of our educashun – does not constitute knowledge of reality. Proceeding with awareness of dis limitation will bring us good fortune. Proceeding without awareness of this limitation; misfortune. We speak glibly of de person coming into being in de third month of
gestation; of life arising out of de chance coming together of nonliving particles, in de same breath that we give betta odds to a random assortment of 800,000 words en definishuns on index cards being tossed in de air en falling in alphabetical order. And with pride we call ourselves scientists.
Special Correlates:
Sebek/Tehuti: To remind people that wisdom is not represented by de accumulation of information, de Kamitic men of wisdom used de dog-headed ape (Auaun), a very cunning, en imitative animal, en hence a Sebek type, to symbolise education as de
aping (imitation) of wisdom. At best, de most it can do is to inspect de measuring hand of de scale of balance, record de verdicts, en chastise de pig.
Sebek/Maat: Maat is de means of giving order to thinking en provides de “truth premise” that has eluded western logicians from de days of de Greek philosophers.
Sebek/Het-Heru: This is de configurashun of de “Hermaphrodite.” Verbal thinking that is guided by images (description) gain coherence, unity, en a certain degree of objective reality. While we must experience something in order to describe it, we can easily delude ourselves with definitions, which essentially are “hearsay” (verbal explanations not necessarily associated with experience).
Sebek/Auset: All of de beliefs en rationalisations bout life…are based on our identifications with our persons. However lucid, they are sources of self delusion (maya) as they cannot uplift us…..
4. Auset aka. Yemaya, Dhumavati, Yesod, Gabri-El
Underlying Principles:
+ By devoting ourselves to realising our true self, de indwelling intelligence, we come to realise that de true Self in all beings is none other
than de Supreme Being. Thus we elevate our devotion to uplifting our character, en de caring for others to de highest level of spirituality.
-The ignorance of de divinity of de inner being constituting our true self, en that of others degenerates our caring for ourselves, en others into permissiveness, thus undermining our spiritual development.
Spiritual Counsel
Whenever you receive an Auset reading, you are being reminded that every emotional experience is a mediumistic trance induction which creates or reinforces a conditioning.
From another perspective, you may be reminded that as Auset is de point through which you express your devotion to things – emotional identification! -, it reveals to you what you truly worship. Is Ausar, de likeness of God in which you are made, what you identify with-care most for-, or is your person-de complex of conditioned thought, and emotional reactions to situations you identify with? Do you know which God/dess you worship?……
To invoke a deity then, is to call a personality complex out of its latent state within de Self….we cannot benefit from de infinite potential of de inwelling intelligence if we do not identify with it as our true self, which transcends all personality qualities. We cannot call out behaviour from our personalities that are not intrinsic to dem….
We read in plate XXVII (in de Pert em Hru), “said Ausar, (dat) de scribe Ani, justified in salaam.
I came into being from de unformed matter, I came into existence as Khepere (de principle of transformation). I unfolded into plants, I am hidden in de kobe (tortoise). I am de te (atoms, essence) of every deity. I am yesterday as de four, en de uraeus of de seven which came into existence in de East.”….
Each deity is de archetype, or perfect exemplar for a specific personality type. Heru in Khamit, en Shango (Jakuta) with de Yorubas is de archetype of mature manhood, fatherhood, male leadership en kingship. Auset in Kamit, Yemoya with de Yorubas is de archetype of mature womanhood, motherhood, female leadership, en queen-mothership. Herukhuti in Kamit, Ogun with de Yorubas is de archetype of de enterprising, pioneering, defensive, en aggressive personality type, en so on….
De process is exactly as dat encountered in de practice of Homeopathic, or Chinese medicine…we consider de entire complex of symptoms, en if needed, all of de personality traits of de patient, en search for a remedy which addresses de entire complex…..

You’ll never believe what happened is always a great way to start. There’s a story I know. It’s about di earth and how it floats in space on di back of a turtle en, dreams of (mo than) a circle of dadas in solidarity, calling out/co-creating en grounding yemoja pan Afreekan healing arts institute in villages en cities all ova di continent en in di diaspora (of righteousness).
There’s a hadithi I know bout di goddess that metamorphosed pan Afrikan performing arts institute from d’bi young.anitafrika theatre en creative writing for healing en self recovery workshops running out of she own house, cooking magic from communal pots en sharing love life en di struggle stories with many other god/desse/s, dis hadithi bout all di Bredrin en sistren co-creating word! Sound! En di powah! Of dis revolushun of (big) upendo
Na kuna hadithi najua bout proposals to establish moyo ya YEMOYA healing arts [ in Kenya. Lakini kwa sasa…..]
Pan Afrikan healing artsis a cultural house that combines arts training with wellness practices for the holistic development of afrika and her diasporathrough the use of self-knowledge, orality,rhythm, political content and context, language, urgency, sacredness and integrity; eight principles in the sorplusi methodologyof biomyth theatre, originated by d’bi.young.
YEMOYA is accepting applications from artists living in Afrika who are interested in participating in our artist residency programs. programs run as month-long intensives from march to december each year. on average, there are 20 hours of in-class instruction per week and another 20 hoursof outdoor instruction including field-trips, outings and personal development assignments in the vibrant mother city of cape town south afrika. artists-in-residence are expected to be available for the entire course.
the fee for the training program varies and is decided upon on an individual basis; ultimately moving towards a tuition-free model. fee covers your creative materials, course packet, text books, and a workshop production staging of your biomyth monodrama. please note, your fee does not cover flights, accommodation, transportation or subsistence while in cape town south afrika. we are however developing the YEMOYA house as an affordable accomodation option for resident artists.
the artist residency program is aimed at holistically developing cross-generational storytellers, through the use of the sorplusi method; resulting in the creation and performance of new biomyth monodramas or other artistic production to be determined by the artist resident in conjunction with their mentor. the program offers comprehensive training in biomyth storytelling; preparing the participant for successful integration and leadership in their arts communities.
biomyth is an abbreviation of the words biography and mythology. d’bi.young first encountered the term reading audre lorde’s zami, which lorde refers to as a biomythography. in young’s own interpretation of the term biomyth,biography pertains to the accounting of one’s own lived experience; mythology pertains to 1. the poetic reinterpretation of the lived experience and 2. the use of folklore, myth, and magic in the process of reinterpretation. biography-mythologyorbiomyth therefore, is the poetic grey space between what we interpret as real and what we deem make-believe. monodrama is theatrical solo-performance work.
biomyth monodrama is a mythologized auto-biographical play told by the story’s creator/performer, using sorplusimethod to weave the story together. poetry, music, magic/ritual, monologue and dialogue (primarily with the audience) are bi-products of the sorplusi method and are crucial stylistic, aesthetic and technical considerations. a western theatrical fourth wall is rarely present as the performer erases the divide between audience and storyteller, real and make-believe; the stoyteller-audience relationship is crucial in biomyth monodrama storytelling; encouraging the biomythicist to constantly explore and expand the relationship with themselves, their communities, and their belief and practice in art as a tool for social transformation………
we are extremely excited about your interest in attending YEMOYA. you will be learning alongside south afrikans, people from other parts of afrika, as well as other diapora artists. this experience promises to be a life-changing one. please do contact us with further questions regarding the program and being in south afrika, and anything else which may arise. we look forward to working with you at YEMOYA……
Now imagine also
attending YEMOYA in Kilifi, Malindi or Dar-es-Salaam in a cottage next to di Indian ocean, in growing learning villages of beautiful honourable people. Kwanini? wahenga walisema the future belongs to those who prepare for it today…….
…When we will, we are involved in the action of setting into motion functions of the spirit or the body, from the level of the self. Actions that are set into motion from the level of the person are acts of desiring, wishing, hoping, etc.
The fundamental difference is that the will originates from the self which is unswayed by emotions and sensuousness, while desiring is influenced en dictated by them. This is cleverly embedded in di Ausarian hadithi.
Auset mates with di deceased Ausar, and conceives Heru. Het-Heru carries him in her womb, en gives birth to him. it is a grand metaphor for di union through trance of one`s identity with di indwelling self (Auset mates with Ausar), en the empowerment of dis identity through di spiritual powah intensification rituals in Het-Heru, which gives birth to (di personal will) Heru…..Dis is wot heaven is made of, hadithi like these make me so happy en inspire en positively transform we so.
Hadithi? Hadithi? Hadithi njoo, Uongo njoo, Utamu kolea….what’s next Britannia zimeisha?
Uatchet, which correspondes to de electropositive southern pole of de magnet, was the chief protectress of Lower (northern) Kamit. She is depicted as a woman wearing de Red crown of lower Kamit, en holding a papyrus sceptre intertwined by a serpent.
“The goddess Uatchet comes into you in de form of de living Auaraut (uraeus), to anoint your head with their flames. She rises up on de left side of your head, and she shines from de right side of your temples without speech; they rise up on your head during each en every hour of de day, even as they do for their father Ra, en through them de terror which you inspire in de holy spirit is increased, en because Uatchet, en Nekhbt rise up on your head where they establish themselves, even as they do upon the brow of Ra, and because they neva leave you, awe of thee is stricken into the souls which are made perfect……”
