The Sun

Eze-enu, Okasi akasi

Ama-ama-amasi-amasi

That is to hail him by his true names being:

the light and the spirit,

the king of the heavens, the Almighty

the omniscience and omnipotent

creator.

African traditional cosmogony recognizes the potency of the Sun, as the creator force that is seen in the material form.

Just like its earlier expression in Egypt, the Sun is the symbol of life and the God. In Khemit, the Sun was know by various names notably Ra. Voodoo as is found in modern Africa venerates the Sun by several praise names some of which are listed above.

Voodoo Chants 

“In Voodoo you learn not to become close with the God, rather, in Voodoo one becomes the God!”

In Voodoo you do not have to read any books inspired by the Holy Spirit rather in Voodoo you become the Holy Spirit.”

Voodoo teaches not prayer alone, Voodoo also teaches possession of the Force and possession by the All pervading Force.”

When you live as Voodoo you do not have to die to be with the Gods and the angels, rather as Voodoo you live in life everlasting with the Gods and the angels.”

The ‘N’ Words

I am that I am
Negus Negusta
The King of Kings

I am
The Great Negus
Watching
Cardinals sin cardinal sins
With lies still dripping from their quivering lips
And vampiric hands clasping cups filled
To the brim
With the blood of the innocents
Waiting to be drunk dry
And with even more blood on their heads
Pooled in a round red puddles
And pouring off their shoulders on down to their feet
In sanguinous cascading folds that color their
Processional paths a river of bright scar-littered red

Condemnations, condemnations
shall trail the path of these people
like the sulfurous trail of their jet planes
coming back from a bombing mission
over another people facing extinction.

Condemnations, condemnations
shall doge them like shadows
all the days of their wasting lives
for seeking to defile this holy temple
built for the humble.

I say that over high ones, even higher ones judge.
We say that unto the Presence
of the hosts of the heavens
judgment shall stand, as science,
like the return of the everlasting constellations.

Ofo,
the first law is love
the second aspect is respect
the third is awareness.
The one that hears and comprehends
shall live.
Ofo.
