@@house_of_horus I've had a busy week but have managed to make time to listen whilst meditating. I absolutely love the message and applying it to my experiences as an elder is where I am. Its as if all I've journeyed through is speaking at me through these beautiful musings of the Mother. In yorubaland the Aje (Iyami Osoronga) called "witches" are demonised. I have such a yearning for intelligent discourse that resonates with my Soul level. Unfortunately SOME (not all) of the elders who are the custodians also promote what I perceive as superstitious information. Iyami Osoronga are the Divine Mothers, the Mothers of time and should not be categorised the way they are and thus used to suppress the power of women. I hav e always had resonance with "witches" and have felt all tyoes of guilt not anymorr. Thank you so much I look forward to more, 💞✨️

@@OyaRevolutionary I agree, that it’s not correct to demonize the Aje, most of this is a lack of understanding of the feminine and its mysteries. That ignorance leads to fear, and subsequently demonization and suppression of the Great Mother. “Witches” are feminine mysteries seen from the lens of fear and demonization. The worldview we live in, that aspect of the mother is viewed that way so It’s perfectly understandable that you would have felt that guilt. You resonate with those deep mysteries. The Great Mother also presides over systems that may be considered destructive, evil, etc. But without the full context, many, including elder gatekeepers, cannot understand, so they demonize. Interestingly, the elder generation you speak of are symbolised by Ausar as the King of Kamit in the Auset and Ausar myth. The stagnant Pharoah who is willfully blind, not learning. To them, you represent Set, who inevitably comes for them for being willfully blind. You will eventually kill them (their order ruled by stagnation, old ways) But Auset will find them, and resurrect them, and, their offspring Heru is the promise. The urge you have to start your videos is Heru. Take the mantle, teach who the Aje truly are. Set will always kill the King, and Horus will always be born. embody Heru. It's time..
