[the-last-outpost]

I was so fortunate back in 2004 to see Andalas, the Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis), at the Los Angeles Zoo. This species is no longer present in the USA and is on the brink of extinction in its native habitat. #sumatranrhino #andalas #losangeleszoo #criticallyendangered #endangeredspecies #zoos #zoophotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYlG9LPbKI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IGBOS RELIGION AND EXPRESSIVE CULTURE

BELIEFS

Although many Igbo people are now Christians, traditional Igbo religious practices still abound. The traditional Igbo religion includes an uncontested general reverence for Ala or Ana, the earth Arushi, and beliefs and rituals related to numerous other male and female deities, spirits, and ancestors, who protect their living descendants.

Revelation of the will of certain deities is sought through oracles and divination. The claim that the Igbo acknowledge a creator God or Supreme Being, Chukwu or Chineka, is, however, contested. Some see it as historical within the context of centralized political formations, borrowings from Islam and Christianity, and the invention of sky (Igwe) Arushi. The primordial earth goddess and other deified spirits have shrines and temples of worship and affect the living in very real and direct ways, but there are none dedicated to Chukwu. Ala encapsulates both politics and religion in Igbo society by fusing together space, custom, and ethics ( omenala); some refer to Ala as the constitutional deity of the Igbo.

The Igbo concept of personhood and the dialectic between individual choice/freedom and destiny or fate is embodied in the notion of chi, variously interpreted as spirit double, guardian angel, personal Arushi, personality soul, or divine nature. Igbo have varied accounts of myths of origin because there are many gods and goddesses. According to one Igbo worldview, Chukwu created the visible universe, uwa. The universe is divided into two levels: the natural level, uwa, or human world, and the spiritual level of spirits, which include Anyanwu, the sun; Igwe, the sky; Andala (or Ana), the earth; women's water spirits/goddesses, and forest spirits. Through taboos, the Igbo forge a mediatory category of relations with nature and certain animals such as pythons, crocodiles, tigers, tortoises, and fish.

RELIGIOUS PRACTITIONERS

There are two different kinds of priests: the hereditary lineage priests and priests who are chosen by particular deities for their service. Diviners and priests—those empowered with ofo, the symbol of authority, truth, and justice—interpret the wishes of the spirits, who bless and favor devotees as well as punish social offenders and those who unwittingly infringe their privileges, and placate the spirits with ceremonial sacrifices.

DEATH AND AFTERLIFE

The living, the dead, and the unborn form part of a continuum. Enshrined ancestors are those who lived their lives well and died in a socially acceptable manner (i.e., were given the proper burial rites). These ancestors live in one of the worlds of the dead that mirrors the world of the living. The living pay tribute to their ancestors by honoring them through sacrifices.

Hey, you're from Boston, right? I'm going to visit there this weekend and want to know what one of the locals recommends for an able-bodied tourist to go see (parks, attractions, shows, vegetarian friendly food, etc). Bonus points if it's cheap or free!

Hi! Yes I am :) Here are some "things to do in Boston" lists I've shared in the past:

For specific places you can go see that are free, I would recommend:

Boston Common/Public Garden

Boston Public Library

The North End

Newbury Street

Beacon Hill

Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market

The Esplanade

Rose Kennedy Greenway

Harvard Square

Davis Square

Boston has a lot of vegetarian friendly food options, but here are some of my favorites:

Saloniki (Greek, several locations)

Life Alive (Cafe food, several locations)

Andala Coffee House (Middle Eastern, Cambridge)

Rhythm 'n Wraps (Sandwiches, Allston-Brighton)

PLNT Burger (Vegan burgers, multiple locations)

Bon Me (Vietnamese/Asian fusion, several locations and a food truck!)

Veggie Galaxy (Diner food, Cambridge)

Enjoy your visit, and if there's any other questions you have I'd be happy to answer them!

✨ BOOK REVIEW ✨

Skysong by CA Wright

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[instagram]

Thank you so much to Pantera Press for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and also for having me on the bookstagram tour!

I loved this so much! It’s so soft and magical and emotional and beautiful.

I adored Oriane right from the start, and while I found Andala prickly at first, I came to love her too as the story progressed. This really is the ultimate grumpy x sunshine romance, one representing day and the other night.

This is a slowwwww burn and I was living for every moment of it. The soft, subtle sapphic yearning made me feel all sorts of things.

The plot here broke my heart and also kind of made me angry at times. I just could not understand King Tomas, even when his motives were laid out. I didn’t in any way hate him, and I definitely felt for him, but I could not for the life of me understand why he wouldn’t just ASK Oriane for her help.

This book also had so many loveable side characters. Kitt, Girard, Nell, Hana, all these characters just brimming with light and love and life.

I definitely recommend this one for fans of fairytale stories and mythology tales.

Asrar

i. Saya tak kuasa berlagak rela,  Pada semesta yang merenggut arti “cinta” di relung dada,  Kepada jiwa manusia yang sama sekali tak punya kuasa,  Untuk berlari atau bahkan ingkari takdir.  ii. Saya memilih mencengkeram kasih yang nyatanya tak dapat diraih,  Menolak beralih pada atma cantik yang menunggu di ujung hari,  Menepis raga menjamah tubuhnya yang kalis.  Saya belum siap berserah; Pada dunia, derana, atau rengkuhan sang gadis dewasa.  Saya bahkan tak memikirkan rencana,  Untuk merakit bahtera yang membawa asa jauh ke dasar andala.  iii. Saya belum mendengar suara alam raya, atau pepatah teman setia; Melepas bayangmu di sela - sela dera.  Saya juga tak punya tenaga,  Mengabulkan harapan buana untuk berdusta; Pada siapa saya masih mencinta.  iv. Saya menaruh gelora,  Atas daksa sang gadis jelita, Empunya nayanika, juga bijaksana.  Namun bisakah saya lupa; Tentang kita yang pernah bahagia,  Tentang rindu yang ‘kan lama pudar?
