“How to get Maat to teach you balance, holistic and magickal thinking” is an important video that will help you to spiritually develop. This is because a lot of what is riding on Maat deals with faith in yourself.
In this video, I share how Maat taught me this skill and how I use it in everyday life. I hope you enjoy it.
Juneteenth Does Not Restore Maa (Balance)! In fact, I am appalled at how many people really do not understand history. From my understanding, after Lincoln emancipated the enslaved. Two years later, the news was received in Texas and they referred to it as Freedom Day.
Now for the record, I have mixed feelings about this because I understand the need to celebrate the end of physical bondage. However, I know that historically right after this event. Many Blacks had to return to the same slave masters for employment, where they received even less pay for their labor. In other words, here’s the start of the wealth gap that is haunting us today. You see, the former slave owner now had to pay wages of let’s say $0.20, while he made $40.00 off of goods. So, do you think we should be celebrating Juneteenth which marked the beginning of financial slavery? I don’t think so either. That’s not Maa (Balance, Righteousness, Truth).
Basically, there’s a lot of people who don’t understand what Independence means.
“Are Ghosts Real? Do Ghosts Really Exist? Should We Be Afraid?” According to the film industry, ghosts are malevolent beings walking around haunting houses, and scaring the bejeezus out of people, but are they real? In this short video, I explain what ghosts are from my Kamta spiritualist perspective. I also explain the role that ghosts play in our lives and how to deal with them.
I hope you enjoy this very short video.
In case you did not know, the summer solstice is upon us and I have “Two Ways to Celebrate Summer Solstice.” Summer Solstice is the longest day and the shortest night of the year. Historically, this celestial event occurred before the rising of Sirius, which marked the inundation of the Nile River. As a result, in ancient Kemet, it marked the beginning of the New Year. I enjoy festivities and for the longest time, I have looked at ways of making celestial events engaging without bastardizing their spiritual significance. Here are a couple of ways that I plan to celebrate Summer Solstice. I hope you enjoy it.
“What is the Purpose of Spirituality?” For starters, there are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to be spiritual. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I thought being spiritual was like being like the 1970s sitcom Kung Fu character Kwai Chang Caine. I remember according to the show, proof of mastery was that Caine could walk on rice paper and not leave a footprint. So, as a kid, I tried to walk around the house as if I was walking on rice paper.
In fact, I thought that being spiritual meant you had to join monkhood, train under a yogi or adopt some type of extreme ascetic practices.
Fortunately, I discovered before it was too late that these were two spiritual paths, which I discussed in Maa Aankh. Actually, there are numerous spiritual paths that one can walk to become enlightened.
So, I hope you enjoy the video and that it helps you in your spiritual walk.
In the “THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-INITIATION” video, I share my personal experience of how I was self-initiated after failing to receive the Holy Ghost via baptism (a formal initiation). What I did not share in the video were the numerous times I was told that I needed to be initiated. Thankfully, my mentor Papa warned me against this spiritual manipulation and helped me to understand my path.
As a result, I am so glad that I was self-initiated because I know now that everything I learned. I seriously doubt if anyone could have taught me about the Maa Aankh and my Kongo ancestry. It was based upon this experience that I know that initiation is for those who need to be put on the religious path for whatever reason. While self-initiation is for those who are already on the path and have been Called to chart a new course to heal their ancestral line, community, people, etc.
I strongly suggest that if you are on the road to self-discovery to watch this video on “The Importance of Self-Initiation” to get a better understanding of your path.
In this video, “HOW TO setup an altar for the Netcharu (Neteru) the Kemetic Shaman Way” I share how to set up an altar for the Netcharu (Neteru) from a Kemetic Shaman perspective. What a lot of people don’t tell you about spirits, deities, gods/goddesses, saints, etc., is that you cannot just walk up to them, make an offering, ask for something you want, and expect to get it. Hollyweird makes it seem so simple but spirits are no different from people. If someone walked up to you and gave you the things you like and asked for a favor, would you help them?
So, you have to establish a rapport with them. Here are some general instructions that can be adapted and modified for any of the Kemetic netcharu or deities and spirits you are working with. For the record, based upon my experience, the Netcharu are not gods and goddesses but laws and principles of nature, NTR, or Netchar. The laws or principles of Netachar exist throughout the Universe and within our being. Our spirit guides will help us to work with the netcharu and its spirits, but you have to establish a rapport to do so. Once you do, there will be little subtle signs that the spirits will give you. That will let you know there is a bridge built between you and them.
The altar setup that I am sharing in this video is for the Npu (aka Anubis in Greek), who is the Kemetic equivalent of the Santeria Ellegua and Palo Monte Lucero. Although, this is a mock altar and I am sharing general instructions. If you are working with your ancestors and spirit guides, you will get the general idea of how to setup an altar space for any netcharu, deity, god/goddess, saint, etc.
I like this altar setup the most because it grows over time and really works when you connect with the spirits of Npu. Once you establish a connection with your Npus, they will ask for more tools to assist you. For instance, as you can see in the photo, there is an open padlock (to unlock doors denying you access), a key (to open all doors), etc. As mentioned in the video, the earth inside of this altar can come from your front door, cemetery, bank, place of business, etc.
I also discussed simple rituals that you can use to petition the netcharu using candles, as well as how to pay your spirits for their assistance.
I hope you enjoy “HOW TO setup an altar for the Netcharu (Neteru) the Kemetic Shaman Way” and that the video is helpful.
In “How to Discover Your Kemetic Spirit Guides” I share how I moved from Christianity to Kemetic Spirituality with my spirit guides’ help. This is a very interesting topic because most of us born and raised in a Protestant Christian society, have been taught to only believe and follow the preacher. Anything in regards to spirit work, psychic talents, following your intuition, etc. was greatly discouraged and is often discounted as “works of the devil.” However, if you are willing to spend time developing your skills and follow the signs. Anyone can wade through the b.s. and discover their Kemetic spirit guides, which are ancestral spirits who may come from different cultures, but what I have learned are totally unique to those of us who are following the Kemetic path.
We are constantly under attack so “Where to Place Altars in a State of War?” offers a few tidbits on how to stay vigilant.
In How I Honor My Ancestors the Kemetic Shaman Way, I share from my personal experience how to build three ancestral altars. I have used all three altars, and currently I am empowered by the third because it honors my Kongo-Angolan ancestry.

The reason I like the third altar so much is because it is a play on the term KAMTA, it honors our ancestors who courageously stole away during slavery and met in the fields, and hush harbors to worship, and. It draws heavily on the Maa Aankh and the dikenga dia Kongo (Kongo Cosmogram).
