There are powers in this world I do not understand, all of them are of African origin.
I do not have a wealth of studies like many of my Warriors and Queens at destee. But I have an eye, and I have an ear. I can see things I try to explain rationally, and I hear things I try to repeat. Forgive me, because I do fail at both, at times.
The place that I see and the place that I hear from is a mystery to me, but maybe not to some of you. Because of this so-called "gift" I've met Men and Women who walk on the darker side of town. I find myself trying to place them into boxes labeled good and evil. These labels are limiting. What is good that is not evil?
We often speak about African spiritual power here, and the true religion of our Ancestors. But sometimes these powers are romantized. We would like to call these powers supernatural, and we often do. But maybe these abilities are very natural, and we are the ones who have digressed far beyond the prowess of our former selves. Yet, this is not true for all.
I was once told this by a Brotha a few years ago:
I started studying the occult, (or so-called) not because I wanted to get into, but because I wanted to explain what I was seeing. I needed a logical answer for "the writings on the wall" - the people who appeared in my dreams with ideas and news about people I knew. There is an overwhelming amount of information circulating about, dark magic, chaos magic or plain old voodoo and witch craft. I know very little if not, nothing about these things. My studies have led me to symbols, images and words. I've seen only part of the system that controls the world, but I know of those who can see the entire machine.
Some of you have already asked, if Africans had all this power why didn't they use it to free themselves from slavery. That is not an answer for me to give. I live in a metaphysical hall of mirrors, I can only see what they will show me.
Perhaps those of you who study these things, can use this thread to expound on those details. As for me, I am just here to ask questions about what I am seeing and hearing, and to give out information about what I've heard so far.
THE POWER OF SYMBOLS
I have one theory to suggest that all markings, letters, numbers etc., are actually "sigils" which are small symbols/shapes/gyphs used for magic.
This would be a more elaborate sigil symbol.
Here's what was written about this sigil by it's creator:
We really shouldn't take words or symbols so lightly....the cross itself is a symbol of magic. I wonder what it means, don't you?
See anything familiar? These are medieval sigils.
More to come....

I was once told this by a Brotha a few years ago:
"There is alot of power in names. The more Palo Gods I know by name the more powerful the names, the power I feel. And when I feed them, they know my name also. I ask them for the power to do my deeds. I do all my deeds at night, because many people sleep at night, enemies are at their weakest. And if someone had offended me during the day, I visit them at night when they are asleep. I've visited people in their dreams. I've killed many like this too. People talk about power, but don't know true power is doing things in secret, with no weapons, no traces of your steps, no fingerprints."

"They gave us Christianity to weaken us, meanwhile White folks are in secret doing their own thing. Lighting candles and chanting, they do all that. I know because there are some White people in power I tried to harm, and I couldn't get to them because there was so much power protecting them, rows and rows of powerful spirits around them keeping them alive, and some of them were black."

http://www.flyingfists.org/archives/000450.htmlIt is a means of exerting my will to achieve a specific end (in this case, the return of stolen property). The method was invented by artist & magus Austin Osman Spare around the turn of the century, and was largely forgotten until the rise of "chaos magick" in the late 80s, early 90s. The idea is to turn conscious desires into unconscious events, allowing that secret daemon inside our skulls to affect reality on a subtle level and, presumably, satisfy your encoded desire.
