A frequent reader of Mind Glow Media posed a great question
to me through this blog which I’d like to share with you. They said that they
appreciate the articles I write, but would like to know why I have made such a
noticeable amount of references to Ghana in my posts. “What’s so special about
Ghana?” I was asked.
The assumption that
this reader went on to make was that I acknowledge Ghana in my writings because
I, myself, am Ghanaian. I can see why they would think that. However my family
is actually Jamaican, although many Jamaicans originally came from Ghana and
what is today known as Senegal. This explains why reggae is so
popular in these countries. The music resonates because of a strong genetic
bond that is shared among the people. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New
York.
I’ve referenced Ghanaian history, iconography, and life
science in my posts over the last five years, going back to my two-part series 2010:
The Year We Make Contact, which I
wrote in May of that year. So many people are in love with ancient Kemet
(as they should be) without realizing that the substantive spiritual TRADITIONS
and CULTURE of Kemet are still alive in Ghana and other parts of West Africa
like Senegal, Mali, and Nigeria.
I specifically
referenced Ghana—which literally means “Land of the Warrior King” or “King of
Gold”—more than the aforementioned nations because I know that much of modern
day Mali, Senegal and Mauritania was under the mighty Ghanaian Empire. The Dogon
of Mali have preserved Kemet’s Annu (called Heliopolis by the Greeks)
cosmology.
Wolof—which is spoken by the Senegalese and Mauritanians—has
many linguistic markers that are distinctly Kemetic, but so does Ghana, as I
have pointed out elsewhere on this site. Besides being a tonal language, the
Twi language of Ghana shares some intriguing commonalities with what has been
identified by Judaic scholars as ancient Hebrew too. You can read Hebrewisms of West Africa by Joseph J. Williams among other books for more details. Still Twi is just one of the
languages spoken in Ghana.
Modern day Mali and Senegal are both remnants of old
Ghana, which covered far more territory than modern day Ghana does. There is
even a locality in Senegal commonly known as Sanghana going back to the Middle Ages. A common mistake a lot of people make is they
assume that the current land designations of West Africa are the same as they
were in pre-colonial times, but they were not.
Some people reading this may say “I hear what you’re
saying bro, but I don’t fuck with them West Africans because they sold us into
slavery.” Nigga...ya mother sold you into slavery when she sent you off to public
school. Da fuck is you sayin’? However she is also the one who fed you when you
were hungry, and planted the first seeds of love in your heart and mind so that
you could even conceptualize who or what “God”
is.
Why don’t you have the same forgiveness for Momma Africa
as you do for your biological mother who didn’t always make the best decisions
for you?
The Trans-Atlantic trade of Black gods and goddesses in hibernation coincided with the onset of civil wars throughout West Africa, which is not a coincidence. Some Africans were happy with the trade, while many others were not.

I would like to introduce you to the work of someone who
has more practical knowledge on this subject than I do, and is more than
qualified to further elaborate on the message that I have been sharing over the years. He has an extremely powerful message. Just
click on his internet podcasts and listen right HERE. Once the page loads click on the tab that says “EPISODES”
