Musa Msimu – Opening Ritual

The marvellous Afrikan is never without knowingness of the Creator Supreme and lives life accordingly. As the ultimate power of the universe opens the way to orchestrate Creation into being so too the Afrikan honours grand being-ness with openings throughout life. Creation and all phenomena has its beginning and the wonderful Afrikan souls of the world celebrate divine order through ritual and ceremony. As Creation has its story every episode in life has a story of its own and where beginnings are enshrined through practice. Purification, drum call, libation are deeply meaningful examples of ritualised opening.  In annual cycles of observance, beginnings are not a start absolute but rather a rejuvenation, a renewal, a rededication, a recommitment and so on. For life’s ascendancy in the magnificent Afrikan sphere employs constant traction toward elevation of the global collective self. In celebrating the Supreme visionary and light of global Afrikan ascendancy Marcus Garvey, the opening ritual becomes the spiritual and cultural gateway to energise and enliven spirit in recommitment to the imperative mission  for Afrikan liberty and nationhood.  The Kiswahili word for opening is Kufungua.

With the savage tyranny of the alien barbarians that have disgraced the earth with enslavement, colonisation and the barrage of other vile ills heaped upon the Afrikan in the Maafa of recent centuries, knowledge of the beginnings have been thwarted (at best). The foreign attempt to twist reality into the seething cesspool of manufactured falsehood has been deployed to rendered the Afrikan unknowing of or derailed from their natural openings of spirit renewal in the mission for global Afrikan ascendancy. Whether through terrorisation or outright slaughter of Afrikan souls foreign enemy forces have unleashed continuing parasitic hell upon the world.

Despite the disastrous onslaught Afrikan souls have retained their divine substance of ascendancy and as such have not simply laid down to accept foul condition. Whether on the homeland of Afrika or throughout the diaspora Afrikan people continue to lift themselves to rightful and proper grandeur.

 The magnificent Marcus Garvey shined light on the path of Afrikan ascendancy in an outstanding way in the grand continuum of Afrikan uplift building upon the example of those that came before him. For in divine interconnectedness, it is during the same period of the Musa Msimu observance  that Bookman Dutty opened the gateway to Afrikan liberty with a spiritual and cultural ceremony in Haiti and Nat Turner opened the fight for liberty with the prophetic utterance that the black spot passing over the Sun will mirror the blackness of the Afrikan self passing over the earth (amongst a plethora of other examples).

The first and spirit people of Creation are magnificently endowed with the ability to renew themselves in the grand continuum of eternal life. In this, opening ritual and ceremony are crucial punctuators. The observance of Musa Msimu has opening ritual as the uplifting entrance to celebration of Garvey and Garveyite mission with its important facets of Garveyism, Musanity and Global Afrikan ascendancy. The mission for global Afrikan ascendancy is open for Afrikans of the world to engage and lift themselves to maximal flourishing. This is grand renewal, enlivenment, recommitment indeed as Kufungua of the mission-compelled spirit is realised from the then,  in the now and in the tomorrows to come.  

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).
