Barabara za Yemanja (Roads of Yemanja) – Tafakari (Reflection)

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 first road is Yemanja Tafakari (Reflection) and is summarised thus:

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 Tafakari represents a deep and profound meaning of the interconnectedness that Afrikan souls hold with the sacred universe. Afrikan souls are not separate entities that choose to interface with this divine expanse. Rather, they are a central intrinsic essential of harmonious complementarity of the universe and world. For the Afrikan, the rainbow symbolises their grand monarchy in this great expanse and also represents the illuminating ‘bridge’ for Afrikans to traverse the physical realm, spiritual realm and throughout the elements. This road of Yemanja highlights the divine spirit flow of oneness that permeates Afrikan souls throughout the world and throughout the Afrikan continuum – past, present and future. It is the divine orchestration of the Creator Supreme  that Afrikan souls hold both eternal living and the centrality that brings with it the responsibility to ensure righteous order prevails throughout the world.  In this, reflection is necessary for every Afrikan soul as essential knowingness is to be gleaned from hindsight (spiritual and otherwise). Reflection is also necessary for its essential compliment of projection as foresight is wonderfully informed by that which has already been a part of life’s journey. It is by not by happenstance that Yemanja’s waters are in the atmosphere. Yemanja’s waters are in rivers, the seas in the soil. Yemanja’s waters are in the vegetation. Yemanja’s waters are in the Afrikan body. This is forever flow of living divine knowingness and elevation.

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).
