Share
Today, on our sacred calendar, we celebrate 𞤩𞤫𞥇𞤤𞤵𞥇𞤺𞤢𞤲 Gbĕlŭgan. 𞤩𞤫𞥇𞤤𞤵𞥇 Gbĕlŭ means to overcome an obstacle. 𞤺𞤢𞤲 Gan is something big/great. It is a 45-day ritual cycle done to the deities to target specific familial and community issues. It is designed to bring energies back into alignment on a larger and more collective scale. There are no blood sacrifices for these cycles.
Chapter 73 of the sacred 𞤺𞤢𞥈𞤲𞤸𞤵𞥊𞥅𞤥𞤫𞤸𞤢𞥈𞤲 Gànhúmehàn is chanted during Gbĕlŭgan. House cleanings are done. Drumming, singing, affirmations and reaffirmation is done, going over one’s personal mission statements, are all part of this important festival.
This is also a specially designed calendar observance with rituals designed to repel and eradicate those acts and persons who are the enemies of 𞤥𞤢𞥇𞤱𞤵𞥊𞤬𞤹 Máwùfɛ (Afrika) and Máwùfɛnugbɛtɔ (Afrikan people). This includes all acts that oppress Máwùfɛnugbɛtɔ and all of those who engage in it.
The rituals are primarily geared towards warrior divinities like 𞤢𞥁𞤵𞤲𞤧𞤵𞤲 Azunsun, 𞤺𞤵𞥊 Gù and certain 𞤼𞤮𞤸𞤵𞥊𞤲 Tohùn (Tohùn are certain national divinities specific to us).
