SHAI-SHAIT: Culture of Obeah and Hoodoo - Training, Cultural and Ritual Retreat - Portland, Jamaica 11/30/18-12/3/18 Facilitated by Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan and Ama Amenti Sankofawaa In our Ancestral language of Ancient Khanit and Kamit, the terms SHAI and SHAIT are the male and female terms for our inherited power necessary to execute our Divinely allotted function in Creation. SHAI and SHAIT are Male and Female Abosom, Deities, through whom the Great Mother and Great Father Supreme Being, Amenet and Amen (Nyamewaa and Nyame), transmit our specific configuration of energy contained within our matriclans and patriclans. We function fully as adults only when we adhere to the direction of our KA and KAIT, our Soul - the Deity governing our Heads, and the unique configuration of inherited Divine Power assigned to us to execute the blueprint encoded within our KA and KAIT. The shrines of the Abosom (Deities) SHAI and SHAIT within the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) body are the right and left hemispheres of the cerebellum. This region governs motor movement, coordination, equilibrium and motive power on a physiological basis. Spiritually, the expansive and contractive forces of SHAI and SHAIT govern the motive power of our spirit inherited from our matriclan and particlan Ancestresses and Ancestors in a unique configuration. Attunement to this unique energy-complex, our SHAI and SHAIT which are called HYE and HYEBEA in Akan, is central to proper functioning and executing within manhood and womanhood as Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans).. Our training retreat is for those who will become facilitators of OBARIMA and OBAATAN 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. Obeah is Akan Ancestral Religion preserved in the blood-circles of our Ancestresses and Ancestors for centuries in Jamaica. Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans) in North america and Jamaica are not dependent upon anyone outside of our direct spiri-genetic blood-circles for our Ancestral Religious practices, inclusive of initiation.
