Dagara Cosmology
Moving into the Earth Year:
Let us Remember~
2020: Earth Year
In Dagara Cosmology the element of Earth embodies both the Feminine and Masculine. The Feminine Earth Mother provides comfort, belonging, pampering, nourishment and nurturing. She holds us and comforts us. She is both tender and fierce.
Earth symbolizes the mother on whose lap everyone finds a home, nourishment, support, comfort, and empowerment. Representing the principle of inclusion, earth is the ground upon which we identify ourselves and others. It is what gives us identity and a sense of belonging. Produced as the result of the encounter between fire and water, earth represents survival and healing, unconditional love and caring. Earth loves to give and gives love abundantly. In other words, earth cares as much for the crooked as it does for the honest. Both of them are allowed to walk on her.
Earth is where we belong. She is our home. She gives us sustenance unconditionally and makes it possible for us to feel connected. Earth is where we go to and where we depart from. This means that she sees us in a way no one can. The nourishment and support of the Earth Mother grant us the feeling of belonging that allows us to expand and grow because we feel strong. Our well-being depends on this feeling of belonging, and perhaps this is why each of us fosters some type of territorial instinct, wishing to protect that which nourishes us.
An example of an Earth shrine that one can make is simply made of the earth [dirt] from where you were born, looking like a little mound- that you use as a point of entry to communicate directly with the Earth. During times of scarcity or pain, you can go there and ask Mother Earth for nourishment---nourishment of the spirit, nourishment of the body. Share from your heart with her. Feel the Earth holding you. You may also consider making an offering to the Earth: milk (nourishment), honey (sweetness), seeds (new growth, dreams & visions), flowers (beauty); or other offerings which you are guided to make. The offerings reflect that which you are seeking.
The Masculine Earth Father provides deep rootedness, an umbrella of protection, unending strength, groundedness, power, and a safe & solid container. He is both tender and fierce.
Earth's protection reflects an undivided commitment to us. We, in turn, protect the Earth. We are provided with an abundance of resources.

Experiencing a personal divination with Elder Malidoma
is a beautiful, empowering and healing manifestation of Spirit. It is an opportunity to hear direction from the realm of the Ancestors and to connect, more deeply, with what you know "in your bones".
Elder Malidoma utilizes Cowry Shell Divination
for his sessions. You will be asked to spread a pile of shells, bones, stones, and other implements on a special "divination cloth". This spread is what Malidoma will read and interpret to bring a message about your life and purpose for being on the planet at this time. The message will also be about finding balance with the Elemental Spirits of Earth, Water, Fire, Nature and Mineral.

Divination provide a positive spin on human challenges by emphasizing gifts and purpose.

~Indigenous African Spirit Technologies~ -Talismans and Indigenous Tools of Protection & Manifestation-
March 18-22, 2020
~in the Beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains
surrounding Asheville, NC~
The alchemy of this Indigenous Tools of Protection & Manifestation
intensive provides an opportunity for us to gather nature's medicine, and co-create with natural energies --to make talismans, amulets, power objects, and align with protective frequencies.
In constructing and activating objects of power and protection, we arm ourselves with spiritual protective mechanisms to insure the safety of ourselves and others and thus save our energies for what is most required of us - the fulfillment of our purpose.
During these times in which we live, the forces of Nature want to support us in taking a stand---- for our gifts, our purpose, our Medicine and our ability to have a positive impact on ourselves, our family, friends and the world.
While the forces of adversity and the obstacles appear to be increasing,
we become armed with this ancient technology: the Wisdom of the Origin -and neutralize the less than optimal impact upon us and the world in which we live.
*Join us as we show up with dedication, devotion and priestly commitment for the sustenance and continuity of life.

Indigenous African Spirit Technologies
-NEW SERIES BEGINNING-
photo credit: Craig Tracy
**At this time
this 5-Session intensive training with Elder Malidoma is open for new students.
This is an exquisite opportunity to connect deeply with ancient wisdom, powerful african spirit technologies, internal empowerment, remembering & healing within the container of a dedicated community.
The time for a vigorous act of devotion to, and embracing of the wisdom of indigenous Africa has come. After centuries of silence and in hiding, the powers and wisdom of the ancestors are rising up to lead the world into the next level of consciousness and spirituality. As we know, the continent is not just the birthplace of mankind, it is also the repository of profound unseen powers and technologies on standby to contribute to a radical healing change much needed in the world today. This calls for some militant initiative on the part of those in whose heart ancient Africa speaks, to check in for this exciting and compelling journey home where they can expect to find how much of the old in them has been waiting to burst in service of the world's need to heal and to transform.
This experiential program is offered in response to that call.
*Join us as we show up with dedication, devotion and priestly commitment for the sustenance and continuity of life.
