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]. by saashepsu http://ift.tt/1our4GO
