(right) African-American Chief Hounon-Amengansie, Mama Zogbé in Togo, West Africa. ————————— “It‘s time for the Diaspora to reclaim their spiritual heritage. They left the defining of their ancestral religions to Hollywood and Christian evangelicals who have taught them to fear and shun their only true spiritual home.
“Though routinely mis-credited by western historians and "New Age" converts, Haiti is not where the Vodoun religion was born, nor is it where it reached its highest pinnacle of philosophical, ritual and theological development. The Vodoun religion is estimated to have existed for more than 10,000+ years, having its ancient roots in Egypt, East Africa, Asia Minor (ancient Turkey), Syria, and in ancient Afro-matrilineal Ionia later known as “Greece" where the African, Queen mothers established their powerful theocratic empires. At their height, these African, matriarchal empires reigned for more than 4,000 years. Within the past decade the West African Vodoun religion has experienced a powerful revival in the Diaspora. As a result, there is a growing demand for a more accurate portrayal of this powerful ancestral tradition.
“1540 B.C.E. faience (opaque colored) image of Mami, found in the Palace shrine of Knossos in Pre-Grecian Afro-Minoan, matriarchal Crete. A contemporary of Isis, Cybele and Black Demeter, Above, she is crowned as grand oracle of the underworld (Ancestors/Dead) and Queen Priestess/Protector of the state. The Palace of Knossos, belonged to the great black, lawgiver, King Minos (“moon spirit”), whose African name was Menes, and his Afro-Dravidian name was Menu. Nearly all African kings and diviner (Chaldean) priests were crowned with Mami. This history is not generic "goddess mythology," but an historical sacerdotal order of African women and men whose holy temples dominated the ancient world.”

“It is not surprising that the Cilician terra-cottas, which, we have seen, embrace so large a field of Oriental [East African], Egyptian, Greek, and Roman mythology, should also contain illustrations of oracular beings and virgin [Pagan] prophetesses, who played an important part in the rise of Christianity. Whose books were largely used by the ancient fathers of the Church, . . . against the Pagans, and whose prophecies did not fall before the light of a new religion for nearly four centuries after the advent of Jesus.”

“The tradition of prophecy began in African traditional religious systems. As Christianity was inventing itself, many of the prophecies of the Sibyls were plagiarized, and stolen, and attributed to bogus “biblical” male prophets who never existed. “
