Yemanja  - Bluu na Nyeupe (Blue and White)

From the wonderful and boundless of pallet of the Supreme Being comes the magnificent colours that beautifully and rhythmically sound throughout the sacred universe.  Each colour has its special place and carries the vibrancy of deep meaning within the panorama of life of the first and spirit ones of Creation. The rhythmic and harmonising music of colours resonate with the Afrikan soul in a profound way. This is a special language spoken amongst the marvellous melanated ones. As such, that which is divine specialness is magnificently blessed with its colouration. The mighty deity Yemanja has her colours of blue and white that adorn her wonderful beingness. The blue and white of the life waters that she so graciously represents are a powerful symbol in her honour, celebration and living. These colours are given special expression during the observance of Yemanja Siku in garments, upon shrines, in décor, accessories and otherwise.  The Kiswahili word for blue is Bluu and the Kiswahili word for white is Nyeupe.

Divine colours bright
Divine colours bold
Divine colours serene, scribed from the Creator’s mould
Deep blue meaning shining brilliant light
Tapestry in the spirit soul of original might
A life giving artistry in the cascading waves of elegant folds
Eternal flow forever told
Blue and white symbol of sacred water flow  

The criminal, murderous devastation inflicted upon Afrikan souls by foreign enemy forces that has caused the Maafa of recent centuries has grotesquely disfigured the natural colour order and representation in the world. The barbarous onslaught of the melanin recessive peoples that classify themselves as white has been an abominable scourge against Afrikan life and divine colour vibration in the sacred universe. These alien criminal vagabonds have bogusly claimed purity of whiteness in their protracted genocidal filth of destroying Afrikan life. Horrendously, these foreign anti-Afrikan forces have draped themselves in their various white sheet uniforms of slaughter whilst officiating the onslaught of criminal atrocities against the primary people of creation.

It is no wonder then, that the Afrikan souls of the world thrust into horror of enslavement, colonisation (whatever alien imposition of ill), tell of the dire circumstance and cry out to lift themselves from the imposed conditions with the call of the Blues. Forcibly, derailed from their own spiritual and cultural fabric of life the call of the Blues is also a call to Blue. This, a body of musical prayer to restore divine ocean blue, sea blue, river blue, waters blue to Afrikan life. To feel blue is the lament of sorrowful disconnection from the flow of natural and sacred blue and a call to bring the brilliancy of the Creator’s  light to the natural divine flow of blue again to cleanse the soul of imposed ills. 

As the celebration of the powerful deity of Yemanja continues to be restored with ever-greater thrust throughout the Afrikan world her natural, divine and magnificent colouration speaks to and of her life giving, life sustaining, life nurturing and life protecting essence. Thus, the Afrikan souls of the world, empowered with the might of such deific ethereal substance bring forth maximum life giving, life sustaining, life nurturing and life protecting quality to the totality of their lives.

Divine colours bright
Divine colours bold
Divine colours sublime, scribed from the Creator’s mould
Deep blue meaning shining brilliant light
Tapestry in the spirit soul of original might
A life giving artistry in the cascading waves of elegant folds
Eternal flow forever told
