KA-KAIT - Soul of Hoodoo and Voodoo Retreat Treme, New Orleans May 26-27, 13018 (2018) [Memorial Day Weekend] OBARIMA AND OBAATAN Afurakani Manhood and Afuraitkaitnit Womanhood Training, Cultural and Ritual Retreat In our Ancestral language of Ancient Khanit and Kamit (Nubia and Egypt), the terms KA and KAIT are the male and female terms for Soul. The Soul, the KA and KAIT is an Obosom, Vodou - a Deity - assigned to us by the Great Mother and Great Father Supreme Being to dwell with us in our head-region and guide us throughout the course of our lives. Our KA and KAIT is encoded with the blueprint regarding our Divine Function in Creation and the spiritual power we possess to execute that Function. We function fully as adults only when we adhere to the direction of our KA and KAIT. Attunement to our KA and KAIT is central to being rooted in manhood and womanhood as Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans). The terms KA and KAIT also reference Bull and Cow. These are sacred animal totems associated with our Ancestral Clans as well as the Abosom and Vodou (Deities) governing the Soul, the KA and KAIT. Our training retreat is for those who will become facilitators of OBARIMA - Afurakani (African) Manhood and OBAATAN - Afuraitkaitnit (African) Womanhood trainings in their communities, grounded in Ancestral Religious practice. OBARIMA and OBAATAN trainings are designed to be conducted in seven one-hour sessions for seven weeks, based upon the seven chapters of each book. These books and trainings are a philosophical basis for rites-of-passage for youth and adults. The restoration of Afurakani Manhood and Afuraitkaitnut Womanhood, rooted in our Ancestral Religious values, is key to the restoration of ODWIRAMAN - Purified Nation - Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in the Western Hemisphere. This is a foundational element of AMANNE - Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African~Black) Nationism, the purification of Nationalism, for grounded Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African~Black) men and women form strong marriages, raise strong children and build strong families - the cornerstone of the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit Oman (African Nation). All Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnit (Africans) must be grounded in these principles. Hoodoo is Akan Ancestral Religion preserved in the blood-circles of our Ancestresses and Ancestors for centuries in North america. Voodoo is Ewe and Fon Ancestral Religion preserved in the blood-circles of our Ancestresses and Ancestors for centuries in North america - prior to the migration of Haitians into New Orleans. Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in america are not dependent upon anyone outside of our direct spiri-genetic blood-circles for our Ancestral Religious practices, inclusive of initiation. May is the time of the Celestial Bull and Cow, Ka and Kait, (misnomered 'taurus') giving us the drive and intensity to manifest our power and focus to execute our Divine Function. -- PTAH SASETEM training workshop - Joint 3-hour morning training session for men and women. -- OBARIMA and OBAATAN training workshops.
