Fimbo ya Afrika - Staff of Afrika

From the most ancient of times staffs have been created and utilised as symbols of Afrikan divine royalty, power, wisdom, authority, defence, energy wielder and so on. From simple styling to elaborate and sophisticated design and carried for purpose by ones from journey guide to deity, the Afrikan staff is a powerful spiritual and cultural symbol etched in - and a tool for - the etching of the unique telling of ever-ascending Afrikan perfectibility. The Afrikan staff is also utilised as an important part of ritual and ceremony. The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey certainly scribed the path of global Afrikan Ascendency in the most magnificent ways. During the Musa Siku celebration of the Musa Msimu observance the Afrikan staff is used to etch symbolic markings of the Garveyite Continuum in sacred soil. Thus, the powerful etching of Afrikan betterment is represented in ceremonial etching using a powerful Afrikan tool of spiritual and cultural scribing. The Kiswahili word for Staff is Fimbo. The Kiswahili phrase Fimbo ya Afrika means Staff of Afrika.

The evil foreign forces of anti-Afrikan agency over the recent centuries of the Maafa have vilely attempted to destroy or demonise Afrikan spiritual and cultural symbols. The destructive contempt for the Afrikan way of life became the staple of enslavement, colonisation and other genocidal ills. Twistedly, as Afrikan symbols were derailed in Afrikan life the foreign criminal vagabond sought to co-opt Afrikan symbology in the vain attempt to harness Afrikan power for his own foul undertakings. The scars of this wickedness continue to fester in the lives of far too many Afrikan souls in the world.  

Necessarily, the reclamation and use Afrikan symbology of self is both healing and empowering ascension. Ever-increasing numbers of Afrikan souls are restoring Afrikan life with greater knowingness of self and the restoration of their own spiritual and cultural way and symbols. The Afrikan staff can be held with pride and dignity as one such symbol of potency. Casting aside the sceptres of grotesque imposition is necessary exorcism.  The Afrikan staff empowers the self in being carried, placed upon the Afrikan shrine, projected in ceremony and otherwise.

 The wonderful observance of Musa Msimu and celebration of Musa Siku in honour of the supreme visionary Marcus Garvey and the great Garveyite continuum are reflected in the use of the Fimbo ya Afrika. This powerful and mighty symbol of Afrika is a wonderful feature of the Musa Siku celebration and throughout the cycles of the Afrikan life.

 The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
