The Machete in the Shed

  The Machete in the Shed https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-nearness-of-faith--71829773 There is a venomous snake at your feet, and the best weapon you own is three miles away. What do you do? Most of us are living our lives in that three-mile gap. We have "faith" in things that aren't here—promises from people who don't know our names and systems that weren't built for our survival. We talk about collective work ( Ujima ), but we hesitate because we think we’re missing a key ingredient. But what if the "missing" piece is actually something you need to get rid of rather than something you need to find? What if the "weapon far away" is actually a distraction keeping you from seeing the power in your own palms? Today, we explore the engine of Imani and why the most radical thing you can do for the Tribe is to stop looking for help.

Salute to Robert Johnson

Sold soul at crosroads/
they say because his music/
was beyond this world/


This the centinial for Robert Johnson a blues man that became legendary after he died. Im am sharing this information because on the Journey we are tasked to find examples of mastery. If you take a little time to listen to him you will understand what I mean. This man sparked a whole generation of blues men and inpired another generation of rock and rollers with his style of strumming the guitar, lyrics, and most importantly his story. Robert Johnson died young and the legend of his life still lives to this day.
It was said that he recieved his gift of nusic from the crossroads where he sold his soul to the devil. His music echoes this theme with songs like "hell hounds on my tail, crossroads blues, and etc.. His music was full of imges that can be taken as occult, and mystic. Now for those that study history and myth understand the signifcance of the crossroads, and we also know that it was not the devil that hung in this places symbolic of choices in life. Robert Johnson was a Black man from the south who heard stories that we can directly trace back to Africa. Part of the slavery and colonization process was to destroy peoples myths, and demonize anything having to do with these myths. Western world had no room for trickster dieties so they placed the keeper of the crossroads (Elegba) in the devil category.
Im not hear to brake down what really happened to Robert Johnson but I had to slide that in. The major lesson for those on the Journey to take from his story is the power of legend. This man is alive and remember because a story the rose up around him and apparently he grasped that legend and ran with it and many ways achieve immortality. Check out this recording and look up some more info on him

How to pour Libations

Image
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...

The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels

  The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...
