Amammere – Ancestral Culture and the fallacy of father’s day!

Mikyia mo (Greetings),

Nne ye Akwesida – Today is Sunday. It is not ‘father’s day’.

We do not permit the akyiwadefo (spirits of disorder/the whites and their offspring) to define for us who we are to honor, when we are to honor them, how we are to honor them and why we are to honor them.

In Akan culture, as in all Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral Cultures, we recognize that we have inherited an Obosom (Deity; Orisha, Vodou, etc.) who governs our Abusua (matriclan, mother’s blood circle) and also have inherited an Obosom who governs our Ntoro (patriclan, father’s blood circle). Just as we inherit DNA from our mother and father, so are we connected, by blood, to the Abosom who govern our mother and father’s blood circles. Our ability to harmonize with these Abosom, these Divine Spirit-Forces in Creation, is inherited from our Nananom Nsamanfo, our Ancestresses and Ancestors, through our parents [Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African~Black) parents only].

There are sacred observances in Akan culture where we honor and invoke the Obosom of our Ntoro, the Deity who governs our father’s patriclan. We also evoke our patrilineal Ancestresses and Ancestors during these observances.

The observance of the Ntoro (Egyabosom/Father’s patrilineal Deity) occurs every six weeks within the Akan calendar for many Akanfo. Thus, those of the Bosom Afram Ntoro for example – those whose patriclan Ancestresses and Ancestors are governed by the Deity Afram – will ritually invoke Nana Afram and evoke their patrilineal Ancestresses and Ancestors every sixth Memeneda (saturday) throughout the Akan calendar year. [Those connected to other Ntorobosom have other days of the week which are sacred for them]

Fathers and their children engage in this ritual practice together. We renew our connection with and commitment to the Obosom, the Divine Spirit-Force in Nature, that governs a major aspect of our spiri-genetic anatomy and thus our function in Creation. We replenish our connection with our patrilineal Ancestresses and Ancestors, making sure that the channels of communication are open for their Divine guidance to manifest through. We strengthen the bonds between fathers and children – the energic-bond (based on the unique genetics that we share) as well as the spiritual bond – based on the fact that we reincarnated through the same blood-circle.

This is authentic ritual rooted in spiri-genetic bonds shared by specific Abosom and their human/family vessels on Asaase (Earth). We have our own method, reason and time to honor our forebearers and the Abosom who govern them/us. Our ritual practices are always rooted in us aligning and realigning with the Divine Function (nkra/nkrabea) we were given to execute in the world by Nyamewaa-Nyame (Amenet-Amen, the Supreme Being). We must execute our function (mission, ‘destiny’, life-focus) in Creation without creating disorder in Creation in the process. This is why we must invoke the Obosom and evoke the Nsamanfo (Ancestral Spirits) whose energy comprise key components of our being. We must learn to wield this energy effectively – harmoniously according to our nature and the Order of Creation.

We have real ritual, not empty symbolism parading in lock-step with our enemies in accord with their pseudo-holidays.

We are not clones of the akyiwadefo – spirits of disorder/the whites and their offspring.
