Barabara za Yemanja (Roads of Yemanja) - Reiteration

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. Presently, these can vary from region to region around the world in the various expressions in honour of this marvellous deity of water. The following (then) is a synthesis in the spirit of oneness of shared expression adapted and summarised by this author with each road 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:

Yemanja – Tafakari (Reflection). Mama wa Samaki, as the royal crown of the rainbow. A deep and profound reflection of the relationship between the ocean and the heavens wonderfully exemplified through rain. Water is both above and below a grand harmonising reflection in the sacred universe empowering continual flow of life. Yemanja empowers, energises and nurtures Afrikan life to be refelective and projective for maximal ascendant flow.  

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 – Malkia (Queen), Mama wa Samaki, who is grand maternal monarch wed to the mighty spirit of destiny and sister to magnificent Osun (deity of Afrikan wealth, power and prosperity).

Yemanja – Mawimbi (Waves), Mama wa Samaki, who lives in the waves of the surf.Yemanja is a great adviser who can represent peace and tranquillity, joy and happiness of the safeguarded self-governance of Afrikan people or the roaring torrent of the Afrikan fight for liberty.  

Yemanja – Mjumbe (Messenger), Mama wa Samaki, the messenger of the deep. This is Yemanja that articulates reality and dispels falsehood. She powerfully recalls and foretells of worldly happenings in the imperative thrust of Afrikan uplift.

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 – Dunia (Earth), Mama wa Samaki, of the red earth near the shore the place where life emerged from water to flourish upon land in the very beginnings of Afrikan beingness.

Yemanja – Uzuri (Beauty), Mama wa Samaki, beauty of the ocean. Here, Yemanja presides the waters that provide abundance to all sea life and the abundance of plenty in Afrikan life.  

Yemanja – Mto (River), Mama wa Samaki, as water that flows throughout land regulating ecology. Here, Yemanja represents natural irrigation with the huge plethora of arteries that service Afrikan sacred soil and sacred Afrikan life.  

Yemanja – Mama (Maternal), Mama wa Samaki and mother of Ogun (unconquerable deity of iron and just warfare) and other deities. This is Yemanja of the Mother Water or Womb water that protects, nurtures and cares for sacred Afrikan life in its coming into being and throughout the continuum of eternal living.  She has a unique and special role in the life of the young that ensures divine life is brought to its fullest blossom.  

Yemanja – Kiongozi (Leader), Mama wa Samaki as leader of the mighty ocean.  Yemanja reigns in the mighty domain of the of the world’s water flow and empowers the Afrikan soul in the divine responsibilities as the world’s natural born divine leaders of righteousness.

Yemanja – Wa Milele (Eternal), Mama wa Samaki flows forever. Through the orchestration of the Creator Supreme water flow ushered humanity into being with the emergence of the Afrikan. As water flows into eternity Afrikan life continues in its forever and upward march of ascendancy.

Powerfully and explicitly (though not exclusively), Yemanja’s roads of Malkia (Queen) and Askari (Warrior) are key energising enliveners for the observance of Malkia wa Uhuru (Queens of Liberty) that immediately follows the Yemanja Siku celebrations within the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation. This is important spiritual and cultural ushering flow of consistent elevation.  

A cursory glance at the profound depth of meaning that Afrikan spiritual and cultural fabric holds in Afrikan life reveals why foreign enemy forces will deploy the most genocidal and brutal tactics with the bogus intent to render the soul people void of their natural way. It would surely be an impossibility to enslave, colonise a people strong in the own way of beingness. Therefore, to strip the Afrikan of spiritual and cultural fabric and imposed the severe castration of alien doctrines is stratagem to induce abject weaknesses in a targeted populous. Where total destruction of Afrikan spiritual and cultural modality does not serve alien enemy interest, anti-Afrikan forces seek to divert, control through infiltration of the Afrikan way. The devastating Maafa of recent centuries is replete with the hostile impositions of foreign enemy strategy.

Wonderfully, ever greater waves of Afrikans surge onward and upwardly in the restoration of their spirit life. The life celebration of Yemanja and the wonderful observance of Yemanja Siku are magnificent parts of ever-ascending Afrikan life. The Roads, Highways – Water ways of Yemanja irrigate the sacred universe and the Afrikan spirit with vital sacred flow. For the Afrikan person self, this unique flow is the substance of centrality. In this, the mightily progressive destiny gifted by the Creator Supreme comes to be.

The observance of Yemanja Siku is marked by the seventh day of ninth month (so-called September) with celebrations taking place on Sunday 7th or nearest Sunday to that date. This is a wonderful time of spiritual and cultural ascendancy in honour and celebration of this mighty water deity and her deep, profound and progressive meaning to Afrikan life. This is an important time in imperative mission for global Afrikan ascendancy. Yemanja Siku is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
