Barabara za Yemanja (Roads of Yemanja) – Askari (Warrior)

The Creator Supreme has graced the Afrikan with a special knowingness of phenomena of the sacred universe. This is unique and superlative acumen. Thus, the water of the world has its own special narrative etched within the cosmos.  The mighty deity of Yemanja represents water flow and in knowing her, the world of water is realised. In livingness, there are a number of roads of Yemanja.  These roads are her qualities manifest in the sacred universe and throughout Afrikan life. They are mission-compelling attributes of spirit substance as the roads of are also the roads to evermore enlightened greatness.  Through spiritual and cultural beingness the living qualities of Yemanja are evoked and imbibed magnificently empowering the Afrikan soul to bring about their manifestation upon the earth. As spiritual and cultural acumen is restored and grows the roads are brought into glorious focus and open the way to ever-greater abundance.  Yemanja’s name means Mother of Fish and each road carries her grand royal title of deep cosmic and symbolic meaning. The Kishwahili phrase for Mother of Fish is Mama wa Samaki. The Kiswahili phrase for Roads of Yemanja is Barabara za Yemanja.

There are a number of roads of Yemanja. The roads as derived by this author are each identified in the language of Kiswahili with names reflecting the living purpose of each road together with emphasis placed on what Yemanja means to her people – the beautiful Afrikan souls of creation are as follows:

Yemanja – Tafakari (Reflection)
Yemanja – Askari (Warrior)
Yemanja – Malkia (Queen)
Yemanja – Mawimbi (Waves)
Yemanja – Mjumbe (Messenger)
Yemanja – Msitu (Forest)
Yemanja – Dunia (Earth)
Yemanja – Uzuri (Beauty)
Yemanja – Mto (River)
Yemanja – Mama (Maternal)
Yemanja – Kiongozi (Leader)
Yemanja – Wa Milele (Eternal)

The second road is Yemanja Askari (Warrior) and is summarised thus:

Yemanja – Askari (Warrior), Mama wa Samaki, who lives in waters where there is potential danger, this aspect of Yemanja is a warrior. Protector of Afrikan life within the coastline and protector of the Afrikans who journey from the coastline across waters near or far. This is Yemanja that abhors genocide, enslavement or any other ills imposed upon Afrikan souls and manifests warriorhood to the full to safeguard Afrikan life and vanquished ills.

Yemanja Askari is part of the abundant and bountiful life-giving and life-sustaining fluidity and yet necessarily carries the thrust of fierce protection. This is the great defender and protector of Afrikan life. As such, Yemanja Askari is not the path of a dysfunctional warmonger. Rather, the forever victorious warrior of all that is just and right journeys here. Yemanja Askari energises the imperative fight for the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty and nationhood out of which righteous order prevails in the world. This just warrior thrust is both unstoppable and unconquerable. Fully energised in Afrikan souls throughout the world Yemanja Askari renders, attacks upon the Afrikan redundant or futile for no hostile alien would invite the inevitable consequence of utter devastation and defeat upon himself. With the powerful might of the Yemanja -Askari spirit fully flourishing amongst the Afrikans souls of the world, the mere thought of attack in the alien would castrate any action of such ill-intent. Even so, Yemanja Askari is never complacent, is always alert and prepared for danger. In the recent history of the continuing Maafa Afrikan souls have been brutally and genocidally forced to deny their own way of life and horrifically terrorised. This road, then, holds thrust of victorious restoration and the forever rise of Afrikan might sealed with the Afrikan assertions of self-knowingness, ‘Never again -deny!’, ‘Never-again – forget!’, ‘Never again – be set upon!’ – ‘Never again!’, ‘Never again!’.  The divine spirit of warriorhood represented by this aspect of Yemanja gives nurture, energy, development and expression in the Afrikan soul for the qualities of eternal unconquerable victory to be made manifest.
