Honor Thy Mother

Greetings Divine Ones,

Giving Honor to the Incomparable One who has brought us all together at this appointed time our Spiritual Mother Goddess Barbelo, the One True worthy of the name responsibility, and title. In my travels, I have had the benefit of sitting at the feet of our Divine Goddess Mother in several manifestations prior to my arrival here. In the Islamic tradition, I was admonished in every single supplication to the Deity to seek refuge/protection in the womb of Allah/Allat from the accursed Satan. It was further emphasized in the congregational Friday prayer that we shouldn't cut off relations with the wombs that bore us. This sentiment gave me further understanding of the Prophet of the tradition named Muhammad saying that, Paradise is at the feet of our Mother. Throughout the traverse of my time on the planet, I often contemplate whether or not I have properly honored my Mother or have I gone astray from her guidance and protection.

In my contemplation, I have concluded, that I have not followed the commandment or honored thy Mother. Although, I have spoken highly of and never denounced my Mother, often times I didn't heed her divine instructions, warnings, or guidance. I have been a prodigal and defiant son at times. Seeking rebellion against the very womb that had previously borne me after a gestation period and gave me sustenance when I was unable to do so for myself, sacrificed greatly night and day so that I might have life and have it so more abundantly. I sought out my life path and she gave me the tools I needed before I knew I needed them throughout life. I wasn't dutiful. I was proud and egotistical. This path led me into despair and hopelessness, which took me off the path of righteousness and placed me onto the path of savagery while dwelling in the land of Nod where Mother's face would not be seen.

Coming into the fullness of the knowledge and the requisites and obligations that come along with professing to honor thy Mother under the guidance of the appointed Goddess Barbelo changed my life and perspective completely. The time devotion and sacrifice spent learning the way to salvation through true submission to the will of the Great Mothers has been a journey that has been full of correction, proper insight,..... and more correction. I had to unlearn the way of the fool and relearn the way of the wise. Drinking from the divine cup of wisdom from the Great Mothers isn't always easy, nor does it always taste sweet. However, it is exactly what you need whether you are aware of it at the present moment or not.

This song that I have attached is from my brother Killah Priest of the Wu-Tang Clan whose Mama recently transitioned. Knowing that pain and agony personally, I was able to be calm in the midst of the storm as our Divine Mama Goddess Barbelo has been for myself and all who are in the house. My admonishment to us all is for us to be intentional in our honoring of thy Mother who guides us all in spirit and in truth. Let our speech and actions reflect our gratitude daily for the gift that is a physical manifestation of the Great Mothers who have chosen us for a mighty work.

I have only had two true teachers in my life; My Mother who gave me life from her womb, and Divine Mama Goddess Iya Afrika, The Barbelo who brought me back from the dead of the cemetery of my mind, heart, and spirit while preparing me to answer the great call and charge of The Great Mothers. Now ask yourself the question: Have you done all that you can to truly Honor Thy Mother?
