Barabara za Yemanja (Roads of Yemanja) – Msitu (Forest)

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 sixth road is Yemanja Msitu (Forest) and is summarised thus:

Yemanja – Msitu (Forest), Mama wa Samaki, the maternal life giver to the forests and vegetation of the earth. This is Yemanja as a grand monarch of wisdom filled authority having a profound connection with the Great Ancestors of the Afrikan soul.

Yemanja Msitu’s energy flows throughout the vegetation of the earth as does she the Afrikan soul. The trees of the forest represent the deep and profound connection that Afrikan souls have with their great ancestors and the eternal wisdom flow that is held within the Afrikan continuum of the then, now and tomorrows of forever to come. As such, Yemanja Msitu’s energy flow goes beyond the present and permeates the not only life in the now but life eternal, (then, now and future). It is with Yemanja Msitu that Afrikan souls sustain, nurture and energise the deep and profound interconnectedness of the Afrikan with the vegetation of the earth and their great ancestors. Yemanja Msitu is energy force that allows roots to fully flourish physically and metaphysically. The roots of the tree and the Afrikan roots of great ancestor-ship are essential fabric in Afrikan life as central phenomena in the sacred universe. As Yemanja Msitu allows vegetation to grow so too does she allow Afrikan’s to nurture themselves from the vegetation. As Afrikan souls nurture themselves Afrikan wisdom continues its forever onward flow and growth. This flow is imperative substance for the mission of attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty and nationhood.
