Yemanja – Picha ya Kimungu  (Image Divine)

Directly birthed from the womb of creation, the Afrikan has been shaped to be of  unique and pinnacle beauty by the supreme force. As such,  the Afrikan image is  powerful and from the most ancient of times this wonderful people have empowered themselves with self-depiction that represent their unique and superlative spirit reality. Images of spiritual conception adorn the grand halls of magnificent Afrikan temples, scrolls of eloquent writings fill vast libraries, exquisitely sculptured stone or wooden creative expression, spoken of in the wisdom words of illustrious spirit, woven in beautiful fabric of garments that adorn the body or accessorise the home and so on. Throughout the panorama of life self-created, self-empowering images are replete. Deities are a wonderful part of Afrikan image projections and have been depicted through Afrikan genius flow from the beginning. The deity of Yemanja is a representation of womanhood of pinnacle magnificence and superlative beauty. Mightily endowed with the primary substance of Melanin, as well as gloriously radiant she is of supreme wisdom, strength, power and elegance. Regally adorned with her colours of blue and white and the natural divine jewels of the water world she is at one with her vast domain. Yemanja is truly an Afrikan image divine. In celebration of Yemanja and during the Yemanja Siku observance images of Yemanja are featured from the shrine to accessory – a prominent expression and reflection of superlative Afrikan qualities. The glorious image of Yemanja is image divine. The Kiswahili word for image divine is Picha Ya Kimungu.

Foreign enemy forces have wreaked abominable havoc and destruction upon divine Afrikan image. For the sake of sheer survival from the criminal murderous onslaught of the enemy Afrikans were forced to portray their deities with faces of alien whiteness and in the guise of so-called saints of foreign doctrine. In the hell of terror inflicted by the brute enslaver open practice of Afrikans’ natural way unleashed slaughterous attack from the enemy hell bent on complete parasitical dominion.   For many the divine image of deity of Yemanja became desecrated with the false image of being white. The assault on divine Afrikan image persists as the wicked forces of anti-Afrikan agency encourage the perpetuation of false alien imagery to co-opt, infiltrate or derail the Afrikan way. Whether heaped upon deity or the Afrikan self anti-Afrikan propaganda from a vile barrage of mediums have projected the Afrikan in the falsehood of the most foul and twisted ways to further alien interests.

Magnificently and increasingly, Afrikan souls are restoring the reality of their divine image of superlative natural beauty, strength and power. The exceptional sacred qualities of Yemanja are being truthfully expressed through the imperative of Afrikan self-determined effort. Qualities previously subdued because of alien hostility such as that of Yemanja as mighty Afrikan warrior queen of the waves are rightly being returned to the fore.

The time has surely come for Afrikan souls to purge themselves of the castration of any lingering false imagery that plagues their lives. Whether on shrines, during celebrations or upon the walls of buildings false depictions of a white skinned Yemanja ought not to curse space. This falsehood is the hell and horror of the so-called plantation extended. The bogus spirit suppression of the true Afrikan divine image whether of the Afrikan self or of a magnificent Afrikan deity must be restored in the natural truth of fullest glory.  

The elevation to prominence of Yemanja – Picha Ya Kimungu is the freeing of the magnificent beautifulness of Afrikan being (spirit and otherwise) from the clutches of abject alien hostility. It represents the divine nurturing, protection, life giving essence that flows in and around the marvellous spirit ones of creation composed of divine reality.
