Yemanja – Bahari ya Upendo (Sea of Love)

The Creator Supreme is love and the pantheon of deities that represent aspects of the supreme one have their own specialist domain of love to ensure nature and the marvellous Afrikan souls of the world maximally flourish. Whether this is the love of self-knowing, the love to nurture superlative natural beauty, the love of care to protect – defend - safeguard, the love of righteous divine order, the love of language and articulation, the love of learning, the love of creative expression, the love of harmonious relations intimately and otherwise. Whatever the progressive Afrikan life endeavour the deities of the mighty spirit people represent the highest elevation of brilliancy. The magnificent deity Yemanja is no exception. She represents pinnacle standards of womanhood and queendom. In her exceptional natural beauty is manifest. Her life bringing, life caring, life nurturing essence is wonderfully abundant. The spirit of protection is of the deepest flow as the regal and superlative might of the Afrikan queen is manifest in its fullest glory. In celebrating Yemanja waters represent flow from her illustrious expanse of the sea of love. Afrikan souls are profoundly empowered with the energies of love for the divine. From the ethereal to the physical, from the person self to the global self in this vital flow of love for real is great and wonderful substance essential. The Kiswahili phrase for sea of love is Bahari Ya Upendo.

In the vicious onslaught of foreign enemy forces during the Maafa of recent centuries there has been incessant attempts to strip true and natural divine love from the Afrikan soul or to grotesquely disfigure its substance. With the worst forms of brutality and genocide to ever disgrace the world, the savage alien vagabond deployed his vile anti-Afrikan - anti-love stratagem.  With his foul and distorted synthetic mirror of alien manufacture Afrikan souls were bogusly forced to see their natural selves as ugly, less than divine, as creature outside of humanity. In the midst of this filthy and barbarous mis-rendering came the false and disgusting reasonings for most cruel and criminal maltreatments ever unleashed. The twisted alien criminal had himself concocted and imposed the Afrikan self-love destroying falsehoods in furtherance of his enslavement, colonisation (or whatever) horrors. No  despicable terror act was off-limits for the hate filled enemy. Yet abominably, Afrikan souls were forcibly charged to express love for the alien whilst denying themselves. Meanwhile, the interactions amongst the abhorrent foreign hostiles were themselves revolting bastions of aggressive, deceptive, carnally abhorrent cesspits of the most foul disorder that were bogusly peddled as a humane standard of living or indeed (wait for it) love.

Wherever the enemy tyrannical terror campaign became threatened, either total destruction or distortion of Afrikan spirit way became the maniacal method of the alien hostiles. Distorted images of Afrikan deities were cooked up to falsely portray and promote negativisms amongst Afrikan adherents. Ranging from senseless war mongering rage to grotesquely mis-sexualised fiends the vicious  forces of anti-Afrikan agency armed with these bogus ugly distortions worked  for Afrikans to rendered weak and implode - one Afrikan to the next. The vile foreign enemy intent to mutilate divine Afrikan self love persists as the septic impact of foreign impositions continues to plague Afrikan life.

Magnificently, the mighty Afrikan deity Yemanja of powerful waterflow and holding the flow of true and divine love in its various forms is being restored throughout the Afrikan world in ever-increasing numbers. The waves of Yemanja’s sea can lovingly soothe the Afrikan soul in calm and peaceful serenity or can rise up in the warrior spirit of protection with the turbulence of tough love. The Afrikan is at one with their divine flow of natural divine love in the celebration of Yemanja. As her eternal  world encompassing flow of Bahari Ya Upendo  is restored to full realisation so too is divine and global Afrikan self love restored to full fruition throughout the sphere of Afrikan spirit life.
