Yemanja  - Saba (Seven)

The spiritual knowingness of numbers is in the reading of the sacred universe. Out of the Creator Supreme’s phenomenal and divine expanse the marvellous Afrikan soul has used number to discern and communicate cosmic truths from and about the beginning. Number conceptions are interwoven into the fabric of life’s unfolding and give profound strength to ethereal and physical knowing in the ever-ascending excellence of the Afrikan continuum. Afrikan life cycles are progressively enriched with number flow from before birth, throughout physical life expression and beyond. Spiritual numbering permeates the lives of every Afrikan soul: Diviner’s spiritually count for ethereal travel, to envisage and to project; the shapers of monuments manifest spiritual number alignment; the agricultural practitioner realises spiritual number cycles; the nautical specialists are guided with number flow in ship building and navigation; and so on. Cycles of time have their numbers. The person self has number. Deities have number. The magnificent deity of waters Yemanja has the number seven. Her name is of seven characters. Her day is the 7th day and she is the grand purveyor of the seven seas. Shrines, in her honour are empowered with special items counting seven. Seven is a powerful spiritual number of Afrikan life with (amongst other things) the quality of transformative ascendancy and is featured within  ritual and ceremony in celebration of Yemanja during the wonderful Yemanja Siku observance and otherwise. The Kiswahili word for seven is Saba.  

In the Maafa of recent centuries, the wicked enslaving foreign brute of genocidal destruction viciously disrupted divine Afrikan number flow. Anti-Afrikan alien forces disfigured number use to tally the stock count of Afrikan souls brutally kidnapped and thrust into the hulls of their pirate death ships. ‘Loose pack’ or ‘Tight pack’ were the terms used to describe the concentration of spirit people thrust aboard the terror vessels of doom as they desecrated the seas. The stock markets were established as the abominable criminal racketeering arena bogusly paraded as legitimate trading ground.  Enslaved Afrikans carted off to the hell of so-called plantations were counted number in the field, brutally forced to produce death urging quotas from sun up until sun down. The enemy desecration of the seas and imposed objectification of the person self as an exploitable number in service of enemy forces continues to plague the Afrikan world.

Wonderfully, as ever-greater numbers of Afrikan souls reclaim and restore their own spiritual and cultural way, Yemanja is restored to her rightful place as a pinnacle life giving, life sustaining, life nurturing and life protecting force amongst her people – the magnificent first and spirit ones of creation. With Yemanja comes the powerful spiritual number of Saba energising the Afrikan soul to take up and bring to full fruition the imperative mantle of transformational ascendancy. In listening mighty the spiritual flow of Yemanja wave after wave, the Afrikan can hear the essence of him or herself and live Saba as it is punctuated in the observance of Yemanja Siku and other observances throughout the ever-ascending motion of the Afrikan calendar cycle.

The observance of Yemanja Siku is marked by the seventh day of ninth month (so-called September) with celebrations taking place on Sunday 7th or nearest Sunday to that date. This is a wonderful time of spiritual and cultural ascendancy in honour and celebration of this mighty water deity and her deep, profound and progressive meaning to Afrikan life. This is an important time in imperative mission for global Afrikan ascendancy. Yemanja Siku is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
