Form Yoruba to Nuwaupu to natural culture.
After the diaspora after Kemet, Nubians and Africans found themselves across the globe away from their original way of life. Nubians are the north American blacks(usually of mixed blood) and Africans are the blacks elsewhere. It is clear that we are cousins but we are different with respect to our same origins and similarities.
From Kemet our greatest civilization to the navigation of earth we have done it all and experienced so much. Yet our culture still finds it way. After Kemet split up so did the culture and many variations formed. The closest one to us in North America is Yoruba culture from west Africa. They have deities that are similar to Kemet and partake in ancestral ceremonies and worship. We can learn a lot about ourselves just by visiting them. They have a village here in South Carolina and sacred altars. They are modern nubians that still partake in their culture, even if they have jobs, school and so forth, they are still in tact with their culture. As we all should be.
The dancing, altar building, chanting is the nubian/african original way of life and practice. Much respect is given to the Kings that built and carried on the Yoruba tradition and way of life. Not saying that we all should join Yoruba culture but it is to be respected,admired and studied.
Just how the Masons of Georgia ressurected Kemet and its way of life. They learned from our past as followers of Islam, Christainity and now Kemet. Kemet is in fact our truth and so is Yoruba. The latest creation of our culture is Nuwaupu. The Nuwaubians had a village as well until the state of Georgia knocked it down due to various reasons and conflict of interest. Yet the way they carry themselves is lovely, peaceful and based on right knowledge. They have a Master teacher and waiting on new teachers. For its about knowledge and not worship of some leader. Its respecting the giver of information and spiritual guides. Its about tones and energy and nature reflecting from you.
They came to show us a way of life that frees us and gives us energy. I respect the nuwaupians and what they did. The language sounds beautiful and the culture is us. Yet we a newer generation, flee away from anything that is too ritualistic and seems like a religion. Connection to earths energies and energies from nature was not be confused and used as a religion but as a way to connect and gain from nature and your ancestors. Dancing during a full moon may be a reason to gather energy but dancing every full moon your entire life would seem like a religion due to its repetitive nature.So we have to be able to over-stand what is tradition and what has a purpose. If Nuwaupu is right knowledge and constantly changing then its the way because evovlution needs us to keep up and catch up.
So learn nature and get back to your culture. Use our languages such as Yoruba, Nuwaupu and even Swahili. We have to set our standards and connections. This is one way to go. The cultures of other people have found to be destructive and explotive to us as a people, we must return to our own way.
