Iyabeji Beyonce, the Queen of global Black music, following her Osun videos has once again set tongues wagging over her latest video, Already. The critics fail to understand the West African roots of US Black music, while some ignorantly label it cultural appropriation, others say it’s demonic. Far from the misguided Eurocentric views labelling it demonic, she is just filling her destiny of Original African Renaissance.
In our previous article on the Trinity of Black female Power, it was advised that Black women should use their spiritual essences of Yemoja, Osun and Oya to empower themselves and raise the Black Race, and Beyonce is a quintessential modern day embodiment of that Trinity.
The Trinity of female powers exists not only in Yoruba culture but in most other Original African cultures – in Ijaw (Woyengi, Ogboniba, Aiyelala), in Edo (Obiemwen, Olokun, Oti) in Igbo (Ala, Idemilli, Anyanwu), in Ibibio/Anang/Efik (Atai, Isong, Eka Abasi) and the Jukun (Ama, Yaku Keji) all the way up to Hausaland, where their ancient Original African Bori traditions were led by women empowered by the Alledjenu (Alujonu).
We discard the allegations of Satanism since Original belief systems do not have a devil or Satan figure created by Abrahamist religions, Christianity/Islam. Instead, Africans duality believes there is good and bad in everything and just as you can’t separate atoms, the smallest matter, into protons and electrons so does Almighty God consists of good and evil. He is the creator of everything, good and bad, and every human has both good and evil in their hearts. However to discredit Original African beliefs systems they labelled and misrepresented Esu, the creator of our information systems and link to God, as the Devil/Satan wholly evil figures.
Born September 4, in the sign of Esu (Virgo), the sign of the prophets, Beyonce is naturally born to push a message. The perfectionist messengers over time have included Michael Jackson, Dave Chappelle, Tuface Idibia etc. Her moon sign of Oya, the sign of revolutionary change shows that her message would be revolutionary. With strong Osun influences, the sign of beauty, love and diplomacy, the message is to be conveyed through music, fashion and art. However, Beyonce doubled her Esu essence with twins in another Esu house, Gemini, so Iya Ibeji is fully a music prophet physically and a spiritual embodiment of the Original African Trinity, especially Oya and Osun.
Beyonce identifies with Nigeria, especially her Yoruba spirituality. We are not particularly sure of her DNA ancestral links to Nigeria, but it has been genetically proven that majority of African Americans are from Nigeria, as well as Yoruba being dated at 87,000yrs old. Her visit with her husband Jay Zee to Nigeria in 2006 helped in globalizing Afrobeats genre. She has been the most visible marketer of Akara and African designs. Her videos have brought Osun, Yemoja and Oya to global consciousness. Her African collaborations have shared her global stage to strengthened Afrobeats stars. So her revolutionary (Oya) music (Osun) shines the light for the Black Race across the seas (Yemoja) marking her Trinity very powerful.
Those who understand the timing of the universe would see Beyonce as a sign of the times at the cusp of the change of global consciousness and civilizations. The end of the 2000yrs of Abrahamic civilizations, religious and political dogma, racist capitalism and the start of 2000yrs of global Black ascendancy based on the Renaissance of the Original African civilization, cultural and economic justice.
Nigerians culture and political setting will be the springboard for the 2000yr Black ascendancy. Currently Oya is pulling down unjust global political and economic structures, since 2008 through this year’s Corona Pandemic and until 2023 when she enters the House of Shango to kick off the 2000yr era of Shango.
This is why we see a resurgence of Original African culture and politics especially from the Diaspora. Ifa has been one of the fastest growing belief systems in the Americas. Like with Christianity and Jews, it could be from the Diaspora that Original African culture will get its boost. Unfortunately, the Black heartland and true origin of Man, Nigeria is beset with cultural disorientation of Abrahamic dogma to take global cultural leadership.
Instead, Nugerians might design a political structure to free the whole of Africa from the bondage of European borders. Also, the Black Diaspora have launched movements like Black Lives Matters to challenge global White supremacy and injustice. So there is progress on both political and cultural fronts which will all start to bear fruits from 2023.
Unfortunately to give birth to the new era of global Black ascendancy a lot of blood might be shed in Nigeria between 2023 and 2027, mirroring the crash of the Roman Republic empire in 23AD and the beginning of the Holy Roman Catholic civilization in 27AD.
Beyonce is bringing her own mix of Original African feminine energies to subtly highlight and uplift the Black Race. Her Esu essence is so great that she gave twins in the sign of Esu twins, to become Mama Ibeji. We have Dave Chappelle, Tuface Idibia and others born in Virgo (Esu) also pushing the messages through music and arts. Men have a separate Trinity – though Esu as well, my Trinity is Obaluaye, Obatala and Shango. Unfortunately, we are all misguided to follow the same Abrahamic Trinity.
Africans are the only race gullible to the mainstream religions that only concentrate on Sun influences, worshipping on Sunday, in anticipation of the Sun (Son). Totally disconnected from their spirituality within by religions from outside. It wasn’t a coincidence that CIA, the world’s most successful intelligence gathering agency was established in the month of Esu to act as its guiding spirit, or the United Nations established on the month of Babaluaye, for structure on Earth. Queen Elizabeth I that put Britain on the path of greatness was also born in the month of Esu.
Yes, ASHE Foundation has strong Esu essences being a think tank, one of the functions of Esu, which is to stimulate conversation along Original African perspective, in order wake the Black Race to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and guide us through the change in global civilizations.
We all need to understand our cultural identity and spiritual makeup to join in the struggle to uplift the Black Race culturally, intellectually, politically, musically or whatever we can contribute.
Instead of geographic Pan Africanism we must understand that Africa is divided into Original African and Afroasiatic civilizations. We must also understand that we collect all our spiritual essences at the exact time we were born and they influence us throughout our life. Every human is born with innate abilities to give life a meaning. We just have to get off our knees and use our empowering trinities.
