Umbilini is a primal force used by Zulu shaman to connect their minds with deities in the spirit realm. Working the Snake Power: A Zulu View My grandfather also taught me how to control my powers of seeing and how to sharpen them and make them more accurate and efficient. He taught me the art of breathing properly. He taught me the secret art of joining my mind to that of the great gods in the unseen world. He taught me how to sit still - very, very still - and eliminate all thoughts from my mind and call upon the hidden powers of my soul. In short, my grandfather taught me the Zulu version of what is called in English, "meditation". How to breathe softly and gently like a whisper until you feel something like a hot coiled snake bursting through the top of your head - a fearsome thing that is known as the umbilini. This umbilini, my grandfather told me, is the source, the primal source of the sangoma's powers. A sangoma must be able to summon this umbilini at will through the beating of the drum and through meditation, very, very deep meditation.  Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa - Zulu Shaman: Dreams, Prophecies, and Mysteries p.13 www.ancestralvoices.co.uk #ancestralvoices #zulu #zulu #philosophy #credomutwa #umbilini #kundalini #didyouknow #knowledge #primal #shaman #sangoma #sanusi #power #snake #hinduism #buddhism #africanspirituality #breath #breathing https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw9lgoOHp99/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=khbz4fiwgmss

The Inkanyamba [Zulu mythology]

If you’ve ever visited KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, you might have seen the Howick Falls. According to the legends of the native Zulu people, the lake at the bottom of these falls is home to a giant monster, called the Inkanyamba.

The Inkanyamba is a giant snake with the head of a horse and, in some descriptions, large forelegs with flippers.

During the summer, this creature causes the seasonal storms as it has the ability to control the weather at will. I’m not certain how many of these creatures there are (I admit, I haven’t actually seen them for myself) but there is more than one, because the locals claim that once per year the Inkanyamba leaves the lake in the form of a tornado and travels through the sky to find a partner and mate.

It is said that Sangoma people can safely approach the lake without fear of being attacked, but only when they come to offer prayers to the ancestral spirits and/or the Inkanyamba itself.

7. three words from your native language that you like the most?

Fok- which means fuck lol I don't why, but it is so satisfying to swear in Afrikaans 

Bliksem- lol this basically means to beat someone up- I use this word in a playful sense

Ag- basically it's an emotive word, so it's used for basically everything 

8. do you get confused with other nationalities? If so, which ones and by whom?

Lol not really- I find different nationalities super interesting, although I must say I am wary of travelling, as things are so chilled in South Africa, and some countries have like crazy strict laws - did that answer the question lol (・∧‐)ゞ

9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?

hehe my mom used to live in Zimbabwe and she wants to go back to visit one day cause she said it's beautiful there, but as for me I wouldn't mind going to Mozambique 

10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?

Fok die kak - fuck this shit

Fokof - fuck off

Jou bliksem! - you bastard or you piece of trash 

voetsek- also means fuck off or get lost 

13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?

If you play with fire, you'll wet your bed- hehe this is a fun one my mom used to tell me all the time 

So onto scarier ones, most of me country believe:

So cats and snakes, most people are hella terrified of cats and snakes- so a lot of people believe cats are evil especially black cats and that they can talk..... like my mom told me that a lady at her work said that one time her neighbour sent a cat to spy on her and then when she went to visit, she overheard the cat telling her neighbour all her secrets (Yikes)

Also, witchcraft/sangomas and like curses are real and freaken terrifying- like one time someone from my mom's work was having super bad luck, like his whole family was getting sick and nothing was going right- anyways long story short they found fingers buried in four corners of the dude's yard, legit so creepy

And that's just the light stories, my mom has told me some crazy scary stuff  

And like snakes is a big no no

17. are you interested in your country's history?

HELLLLLLL NOOOOOOOOOO, please rather kill me, all ima say is if you wanna talk about South African history I am outies

Throwing them Bones

April 29

We visited Sydney the Sangoma in Alexandra, Gauteng, and learned about traditional healing. People often visit a Sangoma when the clinics can’t see them or give them something that doesn’t work. Being a Sangoma is a “calling” and a gift from god. When you decide to act upon this calling, you must go through an initiation which consists of learning about the different medicines and doses, as well as throwing the bones and dancing to the beat. You had to take off your shoes and not wear them for a year once you started initiation. You can be called to be a Sangoma at any point in your life, and anyone can become one or be called to become one. Each medicine and dosage is specific to each patient. Sometimes, the Sangoma calls the ancestors and brings them into him to enhance his healing powers. Sangomas often visit their own mentor or another Sangoma when they personally need healing.

Sydney aka “Snake Bone” often saw an array of patients. Some came to him for healing on their legs or feet. Some women had infertility problems. Some individuals requested a house or car cleansing, or were seeking promotions at work. Sydney also suggested that the power could be used for dark purposes and could even predict one’s death.

It was a unique experience visiting the Sangoma and learning about his views on traditional healing. I think there’s a shift towards using more alternative medicines in the US. My doctor is a neuropath and often practices homeopathic remedies, so it was very interesting to listen to the sangoma and his approaches. I was a little sketched out by the sangoma after Albert suggested that it wasn’t a coincidence that Hannah got robbed right after we visited him. It purely could have been an unfortunate event and lack of street smarts, but he was superstitious and thought that he had cursed our group.

Luckily, Hannah’s bank was able to return the stolen funds to her, and we were able to carry on with our ATM transactions to take some Rand our for the markets. We headed out to the ARTS on Main in the  Johannesburg CBD (Central Business District)/ Maboneng Precinct. It was such a lively environment and I loved all the individual food vendors, art shops, and outdoor markets! I’m very stingy with money and picky with my shopping, so I didn’t get any souvenirs, but I enjoyed walking around with Jordan and watching him haggle prices down (apparently he’s so good at it that he walked away with two things and the same amount of money in his wallet even after exchanging money?). Afterwards, we went to a cafe/brewery to talk, but everyone had separate conversations. I asked Emma if they recycled and she said that environmentalism wasn’t a huge priority, but she personally tries to recycle when she can. She also commented on how forward thinking California is for banning plastic bags.

Why don’t we have a Nando’s chain here in the US??? I had 1/4 chicken and spicy rice. 10/10 recommend. But I hella struggled to finish the overly sweet strawberry lemonade slushy.

Back at the guest house, we all bonded (or maybe ruined potential friendships) over an intense never-ending game of UNO.

HOWICK FALLS 대전오피 대전건마 opss3.com 오피쓰

Howick Falls' other name is KwaNogqaza, the 'place of the tall one', for obvious reasons – the waterfall is a 95 metre cascade into a broiling, restless pool, regarded by the local Zulus with grave superstition, and said to be the place of the spirits of ancestors. Local legend believes that in the pooll lives a giant snake-like creature and, probably because of this, only sangomas are safe close to the falls.

The Howick Falls is a scenic point from which to explore the delights of Howick before embarking on a leisurely drive through the rolling countryside of the Midlands Meander with its home-baked outlets, crafters, second-hand stores, carpet weavers, leather works and so much more.
