Questions about Priests and Devotees in Traditional African Religion (Spirituality) Part 3
What role does/can African Religion (Spirituality) play in politics?
If we look at Haiti and Cuba we know what role Afrikan spirituality plays in politics. Afrikan spirituality can subdue or keep at bay any enemy no matter how large or powerful if the cause is moral and the people of that nation or community are in agreement. When those that practice Afrikan spirituality decide that they are no longer happy with the conditions in other parts of the world, Afrikan Deities will again give independence.
Such-and-such is a Priest and has asked me to assist in outing or attacking another Priest.
Now why would a reputable Priest need the help of a non-initiate in identifying, addressing or "punishing" another Priest for so-called unethical action? A Priest that uses a non-initiate in this way is protecting themself and endangering you! It worth noting that something is very awry in the world that such a question even has to be addressed. 600 years ago this was not so much the case at all.
Can I use African Religion to get rich? Get a mate? Get a home? Get a Car?
Well yes, you "could" use the spiritual sciences behind Traditional Afrikan culture to become rich or to find a mate, home or other material possession. The question you should ask is this "do I want what's allotted to me in Heaven or what I force with my will?" Those that choose to trap mates, forcibly acquire wealth and obtain fame without considering if it is a part of their Destiny will always pay in the end.
Generally speaking, you can safely use African spirituality to identify what is yours and find out why you haven't gotten it and what you can do to correct this.
Which is better, working with people from Nigeria, America or Cuba ?
That question depends on a few things, preference, destiny, politics, your Ancestors and Deity. If you have to look at this variables in any order, ask your self what would MY ancestors do? (not your neighbor's, but yours) and if you own a shrine like Esu, perform personal divination and confirm the direction.
