Course Summary

This course is designed to deepen ones relationship with their ancestors and to become more empowered through working with your ancestors to support your life.

Every indigenous tradition worldwide honors their ancestors. Even governments honor the country's ancestors through national holidays and printing them on money. Religions all honor some or many ancestors of their past so this is not a new thing. Nor should it be considered unusual or unorthodox.
The transatlantic slave trade had a significant impact for the African Diaspora because it alienated those in the diaspora from their ancestral roots, traditions, and relationships. This is the reason a course such as this may help to create a bridge for Diasporans to reestablish connection.

The course includes 10 weeks of coursework
several audio files including an exclusive  90 minute lecture on African ancestral veneration.
45 minutes of  exclusive Video on how to set up an ancestor altar traditional and non traditional
90 minute of exclusive video on How to perform  4 shell divination to communicate with the ancestors
A 20 Minute video on Obi Abata Divination with Kola nut or Erin cowrie shells. .
Audio of ancestral songs, lyrics and translations to sing and their melodies. The course pays special emphasis on how to effectively communicate with ancestors through traditional methods.
