Worshipping our ancestors is a misconception but rather we have to reverence them because they still live through us.

We are not even worshipping them, but we honor them and we show respect and grattitude for opening the way as they came before us. We only worship The Creator ❤ When we do our rituals we always aknowledge God as the Grand Master and Creator, The Most High and we appreciate our ancestors by our side.

Christianity destroyed Africans' beliefs and traditions. Good conversation.

I was raise in a Christian family mostly by my grandmother. But as i grow up attending the church I became very naughty as a server. One day at age 12 I told my grandmother I don't want to go church anymore. I opted to check the pots but also gamble with dices. funnily i grew up to love doing cultural sacrifices to my ancestors. I became a musician and now I'm happily living in Europe. Every year or so I go back to South Africa and do traditional or cultural ceremonies for my ancestors. I don't pray to any God but things are working for me!!! I do dream spiritual guiding dreams from my Ancestors!!! Thanks.

I am named after my father's aunty, apparently when I was born, I cried for days, day and night, until my grandmother dreamt of her late cousin, who said she was me that had come back. As she was barren and was the one who raised my father and his brother, because my grandmother had gone to the city to work as a maid, to raise school fees for her sons. As soon as my grandmother came to visit me and called me her Cousin's name, I stopped crying straight away! I always acknowledge my ancestors, every Sunday I put out food and drinks for them on my alter when we have our Sunday lunch.

We ARE our ancestors; how can we be anything else? We're always looking for something external to worship and reverence, yet we show so little reverence for others, especially those who look like us today. THESE ARE OUR ANCESTORS! You are infinite beings worshipping past physical manifestations of yourselves yet have forgotten your divinity. Then we create labels and terms like "African Spirituality" "Native American Spirituality" or "Viking Spirituality" as if everyone really has their own personal God. I can assure you there is ONLY One. Spirituality doesn't need an adjective to describe it as it can only be described as the antithesis to physicality. The rituals we use are products of culture, no matter what we may believe. WE ARE THE ENERGETIC BEINGS THAT GIVE THESE RITUALS THEIR POWER. The universal laws STILL work the same regardless of the religious belief, but there's a much healthier and easier way to interact and manipulate the field. Religion/Rituals are like manipulating the world from with a prison cell vs creating our own reality as a free and powerful beings. We MUST snap out of this worship phase, for the longer we worship the longer we remain in servitude. If we're going to worship anyone, let us worship one another.

Blessings to you both!!!! Glad more and more Africans are returning to the spiritual traditions of their ancestors. Frankly West Africans and South Africans have retained much of their indigenous spiritual traditions because pre-colonial African institutions are still intact and undergoing a revival. Looking forward to learning more about East African spiritual traditions and their similarities to Ixangoma, Voodoun, Ifa, Akom et al.

She's an enormous intellect. And beautiful as well. Enjoyed this immensely.

The ancestors are above the orishas. Before any Trisha ceremony can begin the ancestors have to be honored first. Nothing can move forward if if ancestors do not agree with it. They are closer to us than orishas because we carry their blood.

Wow, the African Spirituality is the same whether you in Kenya or Nigeria or Egypt or South Africa I can relate and resonate with the Mildred's narration. ❤❤❤👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

I'm so grateful to have come across this discussion and am thankful these practices are being shared more publicly. From a UK perspective there is a growing thirst amongst younger generations of black people of African descent to return to these practices. I'm seeing more psychologists and psychotherapists merging Western 'traditional' modalities with indigenous wisdom.

I didn't know we've a Kenyan woman who talk about ancestors.. many Kenyan people are in deep sleep with Christianity.

Wow, this is the deepest lesson I have ever seen or heard on youtube about African SPIRITUALITY. It's so accurate and straight to the point. MILDRED is amazingly ACCURATE!!! I'm a proof of all what she says about our African ANCESTORS. I don't want to talk more. Thanks.

Grand Rising And Setting Beloved Brethren And Sister there is nothing like African Religion. It is Spiritedness. Awino you forgot to explain the water systems with our bodies. We are 75-85% water contents and water carries a lot of memories. Thanks very much for your contributions to my knowledge. Asante pia.

Sister Mildred, for years I prayed to find my Ascendant sign because most of us we're born in Africa without a time of birth...but I studied myself through astrology and pray for this answer and the Universe brought it to me..I AM my father's daughter. He was born in the sign of Sagittarius. i birthed a daughter who's is an sag rising. He died when she was 6 months...she is mini me..because we behave and act the same ..both have sun in Virgo..I found myself...I am Jupiter..Sag Asc..Pluto in 12th house... Moon in Cancer. ..I come from a blood line of Psychics, occultist, and those who know and understand the science of Divination..I embrace it..I am POWER...so now I sit with Spirit and ask for guidance as a Healer. Completed an I/O reading and I am Het-Heru. Asè

Thank you for sharing this video. I have been dreaming of my ancestors since I was a child from 5 years old. When i told my parents about them, my parents identified who these people were. My great great great grand mother, who was about 115 years old, died 90 days before i was born. She was the first ancestor that i saw in the spirit . As i grew up as a teenager to adulthood, I have met more of my ancestors and their deities. I honor them and talk to them everyday still in 2024.

This is amazing. My 9 years girl named after my grandma git a condition which to date is not clear. Twitching and like getting attack. We rushed her to the best hospital in Nairobi and was given a specialist pediatric and we were being told her electrolytes were not matching. This went in for a week. Within that week, when I was sharing with my dad in her progress, he told me to change the name. Then, my SIL called and told us, a Christian friend has told her that her niece name must be changed. What a coincidence. I told my partner to sleep about the issue as well as me. When we woke up, we came with the same name: Queen Esther of the bible. She was discharged, put on 'phenobab' tables for six months but I got tired after 2nd month and stopped. She is okay to date. The person that we named her, us now named after her baby sister following an incident and she is so fine. We need to treasure our ancestors. I need to hear more of this

Loved watching this! I'm Brazilian and I honor and worship my ancestors, as well the spirits from my land. I'm so happy to be able to do this. It's truly a gift!

This is the best video I have come across on youtube

what a powerful narrative! the giants are waking up! we rise together.

So refreshing to see this dialogue some of us have been walking and working in th shadows and been looked at sideways for a while, now that the collective consciousness is getting ready for us we will start to climb out because our people are ready for the healing and empowerment that they deserve.... especially in East Africa particularly Kenya!

This is so informative, everything you are talking about is a spiritual awakening i am struggling with since my ancestors are awakening through me. I've done a lot of research in South African spirituality because i am South African and i find that most of the ancestors we carry date very far back and the history of blood ancestors is taking me to different parts of Africa. Due to migration language in naming the deities and spirits is not the same but everything you are explaining, is exactly the same to how a lot of African spiritualist are explaining things. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.....

Well explained. Thank you and please continue to share your knowledge

Coming into this right after , I began my sort of research across religions , 😊it sheds some light into it from her perspective, shukran

So glad I found this

what a wonderful exchange. thank you.

A great video.... Very interesting ...

Great! Thank you 4 sharing the African original religions! Axé!!!

Asante Sana, wonderful conversations

Thank you, this was a very informative video and wonderful host and guest conversations. Love & Gratitude 🙏 ❤️‍🔥 🤙

Mildred breaks down things so superbly❤️

Regardless of religion we in ASIA WORSHIP, RESPECT AND PRAY TO OUR ANCESTORS FOR WISDOM, GUIDANCE, STRENGTH AND PROTECTION. THE MOST DIRECT WAY TO GOD IS THROUGH OUR ANCESTORS!!!

Listening to Mildred is very informative i am glad we have the power of information right now , we can now make informed decisions in our lives. It is important to have views and perspectives from all sides knowledge is indeed power. I jhave followed Mildred from 2020 and i now understand various aspects of life way better.

This is very important and enlightening ❤ thanks

Love this conversation

Great video. Happy to see this subject brought up to KZfaq and really debated in a very right way. Brazil we have the normal Catholic church that's a series of empty rituals in a strange hierarchy, but as me , as an ancestor from African people got the whole theogony from Yorubá natural religions that link us to Orixás, guidance of consciousness in a simple translation. Think all religions practiced with honesty are good, not harming no one, and Jewish religion that produced the christianisn has importance as a moral code, but much more in Jesus loving all humans. I, have been in Umbanda, a dona from Xangô, Yemanjá and Omolu, the triad of my crown. Important is to see that every story is an attempt to reach the highest plan with our limitations. Thank you. Cheers from Brasil! Axé!

Wow! The lady has this topic well covered and even better, explains to us the newbies in a palatable way. Major props.

I enjoyed this conversation so much. There were Many simple things said, that ring a bell from past discoveries.

I love the conversation, so enlightening. Keep it up

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great conversation ❤

Even if Africans worshipped their ancestors there is nothing wrong with such practice. Indeed, calling it devil worship is the same nonsense used the describe traditions and practices before Christianity and Islam as Pagan, whatever that is supposed to mean. While the authors of the Pagan narrative basked in their new religions, look harder and one will find all the 'pagan' icons and rituals in their new religion. To create new shiny things, one must first bury the traditional. There is nothing more than this.

Madam is very knowledgeable. ❤

Important conversation i am enlightened

Great video!

I first contacted my dead father after thinking to myself that the people where I was living were trying to kill me. He spoke saying that I should get out of town. This shocked me tremendously. Later on after my wife and I bought a house, I was painting the bathroom and my maternal grandmother spoke saying that the paint was her favorite color. I asked her why she never spoke to me before and she said that I never owned a house before. What difference does that make, I asked and she replied that there’s rules amongst the dead. She informed me also that they are not supposed to help the living however most do anyway. I asked her to help me and she said that she doesn’t break the rules 😹

Interesting conversation, thank you

Super interesting. Thank you!

❤😊 Great discussion. Clarity is important for those of entrusted with the restoration of our Sacred Traditions.

Awesome discussion

oh my... wonderful channel i got home

Good talk!❤

The thing is that your ancestors are you, and your DNA reflects all your ancestors. If you can take time for yourself, meditate and worship from within as you correctly interact with nature, you will be worshipping your ancestors. It's not something that we are supposed to do externally.

Am LUO of Uganda particularly an Acholi. It's quite thrillingly interesting to know my Brainy and very beautiful sister luo Awino.

12:36 this is what the Wholly Spirit taught me about Ancestor “Energy” 👏🏾🥰

This is a great Vid & the senses of concepts with the pantheon & how so many of us misconceive or even prompted to view the ALL or SOURCE is not to be confused to the figures tied to God of religious texts as the SUPREME GOD of ALL THAT EXIST & in most cases dieties can be seen in a conceptual context relative to angles & arch angles or Elohim that are just factions of The ALL - thru divine hierarchy systems or levels.

the white chalk conversation was great

Please make a video on the Sacrificial Lamb of the Family leanage

😍 Lovely juuust Lovely

I feel her my brother

WE LOVE U

Guys I love ur discussion on African religion n history.. I feel proud. Just a thought, I think the Bible or other religions may have been built from African religion ..just a thought....

Very intresting

This sounds very interesting. My curious mind has lots of questions and it would be great to interact with Mildred. You remind me of my literature class, Myths Architypes...

Not everyone in the family can be called ancestors because some die with bad name he or she are rich but never help the family and some are also good so know whom you called as ancestors in your family , know yourself as spiritual awakening ❤❤❤

Africa, sweet mama Africa

Greeting from Ireland 🇮🇪 , very interesting , we too have yearly anniversaries for deceases families members and get together with family , our ancestors are buried in concerted ground , and if children are not baptised in past , their bodies found not be buried in concerted ground , they used to be buried in fields , we used to have traditions that are very spiritual pagan in tradition , Catholic Church built its festival period in relation to this , God bless you , so interesting

Peace. We thank our ancestors we don’t “worship” for that is reserved to the Most High, GOD the omnipotent. Prayers directly to the Most High, GOD as one the supreme being is the 1 before division for 2 etc

Love the views & expressions mentioned here & am not to tell ppl to not be Christian but For me, when we speak about the ties & origins or concepts associated with the Orisha (as example) the pantheon is based off Egyptian dieties based of Annunaki lineages have roots to "ways of life" that aren't synonymous to the foundations of Christianity for Science & Metaphysics existed before the concept of RELIGION for the original ideal of religion was introduced during the times of ancient Sumeria with the Story of creation for Annunaki (by common right) felt they should be worshipped for the "gift" of life & knowledge bestowed upon modern man/humanity.

Dealing with pain over an entire lineage having to self medicate. 100%

Luos never used to build slabs on graves. We planted trees. Growing up, there were tree that were never cut. When I grew up, my uncle started showing me different trees and the people whose graves they represented

Maat Hotep brothers and sisters. ASE

I personally don't Worship anything except TMH God 👑 and I Honor Our Ancestors Ase ASE 🇸🇳🇮🇪🇪🇹🇯🇲🇬🇳

I did not see the contact info for Sister Awino...email address etc. Much appreciated.

*0:49** Where spiritually did our ancestors take their problems before colonialism? Profound supposition*

I was searching to find contact info on the comments. How can I reach the sistAr there are family issues I'd like to discuss. Great presentation. I love in the Caribbean.

Another name for God is "WERE",in luo culture. Interesting podcast Thanks you.

Sis you remember this in the book of genesis God said let us make man in his own image🇰🇳🙏🇰🇳 wh🎉o God speaking to all of the god's

❤❤

Clarity. When David says God is the sun and shield. He doesn't not mean these literally. Neither is it to be used to justify praying to the sun. The sun provides light, warmth and brings growth to creation. A shield because he protects us from fiery darts of the enemies. These are metaphors

Great message, how can we get in contact with Mildred?

Why does anyone need to be worship, worship yourself, the god in you !

Where can I contact Mildred Asimov? I can’t find her information on Facebook, and your description doesn’t have her contact information. I hope you’re able to read this soon. Thank you in advance.

Please post contact informatio for the guest.

Name one book written by Europeans which benefited you religiously and economically?

I love that she said ancestors are "spirits of just men made perfect" so the requirement for someone to be a saint or ancestors is "just" "purity" or "holy" . Their spirit perfectly transformed into the realm of God where no impurity can exhist. So all humans who die without having lived a life of purity or reached Christ consciousness, don't qualify to be ancestors, they died a final death. they are not with God neither can they intercede for us. Worshiping them is idolatry. seeing them in your dream is just manipulation from contrary spirits to be given authority to live through you. Remember humans are a special creation, with authorities over principals and powers In heavenly places and even angels. The jealousy of this contrary spirits over how God made us special and a little higher than them. They come to take advantage of ignorant humans to stop them from knowing God, their power and the Christ consciousness they need to reach ascension.

Hello, I'm from India. I am a Hindu. In Hindu religion also, any orthodox hindu family teach their children to worship their Ancestors as a primary duty. The praying hierarchy goes like this 1. Ancestors, 2. Demi Gods ( Natural forces of climate and nature), 3. Gods ( the primordial forces of the nature, 4. The supreme gods ( Energy). But for every energy and force we have given names to them. But worshiping Ancestors IS THE DUTY for all.

The Afrobeats music revolution is another manifestation of returning ancestors. Special mention to Asake, Omah Lay, Rema and Burna Boy for understanding the assignment and following instructions diligently. Study their music especially visual references and symbology. The latest to join this bandwagon is Stoneboy from Ghana under the mentorship of the great Angelique Kidjo who is a devout child of Voodoun.

Hats what i did i looked at the time frame both of my families old ones that i know greww up in the middle of the time africans wer destroyed

Hi Jagero, African spirituality, is idol worship. God, who created mankind, stated that no god should be beside him. Where in the Bible does it say there will be no other gods before me? Commandment #1: “You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:3) is God's first commandment. We tend to imagine an idol worshipper lying prostrate before a carved image Are Christians allowed to worship other gods? The Bible teaches that there is only one God and that Christians should not worship any other gods. This belief is based on the following biblical passages: In Isaiah 45:5-6, God declares: “I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. What does it mean to worship other gods? Idolatry consists of divinizing what is not God. Man commits idolatry whenever he honors and reveres a creature in place of God, whether this be gods or demons (for example, satanism), power, pleasure, race, ancestors, the state, money, etc. What is the punishment for idol worship? Prohibition of idolatry is the central tenet of the Abrahamic religions and the sin of worshipping another god other than the Lord is called idolatry. Historically, the punishment for idolatry was often death. What is God's punishment for idol worship? In Exodus 22:20, God instructs the Israelites, "Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed." This meant that those caught engaging in idolatry were to be stoned to death. Similarly, Deuteronomy 17:2-5 prescribes death by stoning for anyone discovered worshiping false gods or idols. Humans have been given grace while alive to repent for their sins. After death, one shall be judged by the God of all creatures...Hebrews 9:27 My question to you is which is better? Worships "the creator", or the creatures What does the Bible say about worshipping the dead? Please also note the warning of Leviticus 19:31: "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God"" (NIV). The Bible expressly forbids consulting mediums or souls of the dead and also prohibits certain practices that were associated with the dead.

episode 2 inakuja lini ?

How do I get in touch with mildred

Why do the African spiritist have to put clay on the body? Is that something significant? and some people put that clay she’s wearing under their one eye or both eyes 👀 what is the meaning of that ?

Why the use of the word worship? The word Honor is more appropriate.

Jagero where can one find her....

❤😇🙏

Good stuffs. But why do we keep the oppressors names? Mildred? Is Mildred our ancestors name? Just curious

I would like to know if it's only negatives which make someone to be a scapegoat.

There is only One God Worthy of worship The creator of universe and us

Now what do our ancestors worship?
