We've been talking about who the ancestors are why it's important to build a relationship with them. And today, we'd like to speak about the practical steps to building a relationship with your ancestors.

If you have idlozi lakamama, you had your own dlozi as well. Now, there is just a queue waiting that also needs certain rites of passage to be performed for them because there are generations before us who were not so fortunate to openly practice as we do today.

In your asking intend within yourself to accept & receive what you’re asking for
You are worthy of your desires

In 1957, the Apartheid government passed the Witchcraft Suppression Act. It effectively deemed all ancestral practice, to be witchcraft by law. This meant ukuphahla, ukuhlamba, all things related to our spiritual practice, were punishable by law.

Thereafter, you state your intentions. You say specifically all you are contacting them for.

It’s not that our parents don’t respect our ancestral practices, it is that they’re coming from a generation of being violently suppressed even in their spirituality.

Makhosi EMakhosini. This morning, we're discussing the making of family curses, and what it takes to break them. On karma and epigenetic memory:

Today, people constantly ask why there are so many of us in comparison to previous generations. In our parents’ day, there would have been millions of izinyanga, had they been permitted to practice.

The brutality of the Witchcraft Suppression Act, drove everything related to our practice into secrecy. This influenced the proliferation of African Zionist Churches, where one can practice certain elements of ancestral practices without having to become isangoma. See: Prophecy.

Finally, an ancestral calling means you have work to do. Do not treat it as an opportunity to claim fame you have not earned. Stop playing with your ancestors. Do the work. Healing is the primary goal. eMakhosini.

When our parents don’t know certain rites and practices, it’s not because they were indoctrinated or they’re ashamed of who they are. This was engineered. This was a part of Apartheid social engineering, to ensure that we are divorced from our culture.

267
Our country’s racist laws did not only affect issues such as land ownership and movement, they also affected the manner in which we’re able to practice our spirituality. This led largely to how many families lost practices such as coming of age, birthing, marriage ceremonies etc.

What we often forget about becoming the person who you were meant to be in this life, about manifesting your highest self into this timeline, is that it will require mourning the death of the person you imagined yourself to be.

So, if you have a calling and somebody says to you, “wena unedlozi ebekumele ukuthi lithwaswe ngumawakho or ngumalume”
Take a moment and remember that you wouldn’t be able to have a calling to possess this calling unless you had your own to begin with.

Learning to trust your ancestors begins with showing yourself compassion.
So today, remember that you’re a work in progress, you did the best you could with what you knew, remember what it took for you to learn what you know now & honor that effort with your compassion today.

Before we can thwasa amadlozi who were supposed to be initiated by our parents, we have to have the calling ourselves. Thereafter, an ancestor who wished to work through a family member and was unable to, might take the opportunity to be initiated through your process.

You can have an ancestral calling and experience a spiritual awakening where you become aware of your ancestral calling, but you're not going to become a healer by having a spiritual awakening, not if you have an ancestral calling.

Then you introduce yourself as formally as you can. You want your ancestors to know exactly who you are: I am [this person], daughter of [these people], the last time you heard from me was when I [did this ceremony/went to see this person in relation to this].

The scientific name for iMpepho is “Helichrysum odoratissimum.”
The scientific name for white sage is Salvia Apiana. iMpepho is not sage.The main, maybe only, similarity between these plants is that two different groups of people use them to make contact with their ancestors.

It’s not a sin. And it’s not against our culture as Africans. We have a deeper understanding of life and we are aware that these things tend to have consequences if we are not acting in awareness of the broader implications of our decisions beyond the medical and physical.

If you are going to use iMpepho, we recommend that you please start by cleansing your space with iNtelezi. This is a mixture of herbs or a particular herb that would be used to clear the space. You can chela with it, or give it a good soak overnight and clean with it.

Don’t hold it in
Don’t keep it to yourself
Your feelings are valid
You’re allowed to feel what you feel
You’re not wrong for feeling that way

Don’t bury them, they’re trying to tell you something.

Don’t hold in the pain when you’re at the end of your hope
Call out for help
Cry out

When you burn iMpepho,never be standing on your feet! We kneel. The fire should also not be burning brightly as you speak. If there are flames when you light it, you pat it to put the fire out so that the smoke is released. Now, you begin to speak.

Remember when you’re triggered; it’s your conscious mind allowing a suppressed memory to resurface because your mind believes that you now have the tools to confront the truth about that memory and begin to heal from it.
Remember: You’re safe right now. You can confront this.

First of all, iMpepho is muti. Before we use it in any space, especially a space that is a rented accommodation (which is a space where many energies have passed through), we need to be aware of that. iMpepho is a means to contact beings who are present beyond the veil.

Once you have this, if you do not have umsamo at home, we would suggest you choose a corner in your house; a corner in your bedroom, or your study room, — a room that people do not frequent. A private and sacred space that will be for your prayer and to burn iMpepho.

In our stillness is where we can hear the answers to our prayers.
We must learn to build a stillness within ourselves that can be found even in times of anarchy.

Once you have cleansed your space, the next step is to burn iMpepho. We would suggest a metal or clay plate. If all else fails, you may use your porcelain saucer. We do not recommend wood or plastic.

Sex has been weaponised for too long; it has been shamed and put into a category of living that isn’t where it belongs.

The message of this, beyond the semantics, is that once you have terminated, the spirit of your child continues to accompany you. The spirit also accompanies the father. We’re made up of two bloodlines.

You are more than the culmination of your past pain.
Your story is bigger than what you’ve had to overcome.

The problem with conversations around the spiritual implications related to the termination of pregnancy is that the language around that is not easily translatable. When we say “unomthunzi omnyama ohamba nawe uma ukhiphe isisu,” — it is difficult to translate that into English.

The termination of pregnancy is a medical procedure that has been performed for thousands of years. In Africa, we’ve had surgical and non-surgical practices around this work since time immemorial. This is not a new thing. It is not outside of the realm of our culture.
