UbuNtu ~ Black Lotus

SKIPPER’S LOG / ANCESTRAL ENTRY DATE: December 21, 2017 ∴ December 30, 2024 [Gregorian]

A Black Moon is rising tonight – December 30^th, 2024 [Gregorian]. Showing up as the 2^nd New Moon in a Gregorian calendar month or alternatively as the 4^th New Moon in any 3-month season, the Black Moon is described as the opposite of a Blue Moon where the same criteria applies, but only in specific regard to the Full Moon. As Earth’s only natural satellite, the Moon in general is a key player in the trifecta relationship with the Sun that creates humanity’s organic rhythm and flow of light & dark, night & day, moon phases & eclipses, weather & seasons, gravitational pull on Earth’s oceans, and so on. As the feminine Yin energy in this celestial transaction, the Moon’s associations are with darkness, coolness, receptivity, & inward/spiritual (5D+) focus. This is particularly so in its Black Moon phase, which is occurring this year within the 2024-2025 season of Major Lunar Standstills – a once-in-every-18.6 years season. All this, of course, counterbalances the masculine Yang dynamic outward (3D) expressions of the Sun’s heat, light, & annual solstices/‘solar standstills’ which the Moon mirrors to varying degrees & effects in its ongoing cycles.

Black Moons, though rare (a once in a 33-month occurrence per estimates) are not a visible phenomenon. According to timeanddate, the astronomical designation itself was not well-known until recent years when “Black Moon” became a popular term through its usage by “social media, astrologers, followers of the Wiccan religion,” and Paganists “who believe certain actions become more potent when performed on the night of a Black Moon.” The reverent belief in a Divine who is spiritually present and consciously evolving in the cyclically ordered natural/celestial worlds through processes such as reincarnation is held by many. Some adherents argue that the official religious teaching about the Garden of Eden is bait-and-switch propaganda by Euro patriarchal biblical scribes, scholars & proselytes to popularize the narrative of Eve as Adam’s “wife/partner” rather than her more vexing predecessor, Lilith – humanity’s original Feminine ancestor who is associated with the Black Moon. Alternatively the Anglican name or term “Eve” means the day/period/evening before an important event… in this case, Human Genesis.

The name Adam is generally accepted in the west as an Anglicized version of the Hebrew word “Adamah” meaning “Soil/Dust” of the Earth out of which a male Biblical God is said to have created original man in His own image. Lilith, Adam’s “first Eve,” was similarly said to have been created from dust by the same God. She lived in the Garden of Eden with Adam, until the point when Adam tried to sexually dominate if not rape her. Troubled by what she experienced as Adam’s toxic disregard of her as his co-equal, Lilith fled the Garden in her bid for independence… Never to return. Thereafter, Lilith – who remains a controversial figure in Jewish folklore – was characterized as “disobedient,” and rendered in various texts and artistic depictions as a “succubus” and a “demoness” rather than as the “first Eve.” In their revised version, Euro-patriarchal Biblical scribes presented Eve as being fashioned from Adam’s rib out of their amended premise that primeval man ‘birthed/hatched’ Eve to be a lowly helpmate fit for him [Gen 2:18].     

Many see Lilith as the earliest independent woman who fled the oppression she experienced in the masculine-biased Biblical space of the Garden of Eden. The Europatriarchal version of Lilith became associated with a chaotic and demonic brand of “dark feminine energy”… an insatiable envy which reportedly led her to target brides and young mothers as she seduced, harmed, and was simultaneously blamed for instilling fear in the hearts of otherwise “strong” men. The controversial narrative and misogynistic labeling and policing that Lilith was thus victimized by attest to what she endured in her journey, even beyond Eden as the serpent-beguiled “second Eve” was simultaneously being set up by Euro patriarchal Biblical scribes to be the scapegoat reason for the fall of ‘man‘ = Adam personified.

In the Garden of Eden where Human Genesis actually occurred (according to archaeological evidence), the word “Binadamu” in Swahili – meaning “Human” in the collective sense – derives from the word “Damu” meaning “Blood.” Not only is this supported phonetically by the Anglicized Biblical version, but it also centers the true “first Eve” as a co-creative Goddess presence with monthly [damu/blood] Moon cycles from her womb which, along with the masculine seed of Adam, is crucial for the perpetuation of “Binadamu” – the Human race. As the organ that pumps blood throughout the body & processes emotions, the Heart is likewise centered in their co-creative “Binadamu” journey & narrative. The astrological symbol for Black Moon Lilith simultaneously evokes the primal melanin energy of humanity’s First/Original Couple as well as resembling a harvesting tool, all of which is echoed in the Biblical Song of Songs (a more cohesive Eden/Genesis ⇔ Revelation account for me), beginning with the Shulamite’s call: “I am Black and Comely O Ye Daughters of Jerusalem…” [SoS1:5]

In astronomical terms, “Black Moon Lilith” is the position in the Moon’s orbit when it’s furthest from Earth. Experts &/or readers of Astrology will analyze the hidden, taboo, or shadow parts of a client’s personality from the “Black Moon Lilith“ point in their birth chart – the self-confessional booth where one’s true desires have been kept secret to avoid judgment, criticism, rejection, &/or ouster by patriarchal authors and enforcers of their egoic “eden” dogmas. For Africans and others, “Earth” as we know it was pirated by a self-serving elite which hijacked organic space-time to promote, implement & police its self-serving industrial matrix programs [slavery, colonialism, apartheid/“apart-hate” etc…] and predatory 3D agendas during the receding Age of Pisces with its Biblical prescriptions & justifications. So, like “Black Moon Lilith,“ perhaps humanity is heeding the call to it’s own independence by purging the parasitic neo-colonial remnants of divisive progams that were designed to systemically lower our co-creative frequency. By reclaiming ubuNtu – the unity-consciousness energy that is the Divine Order of a holistic Eden – Binadamu empowers itself to ascend out of its collective matrix-weary trauma and resurrect Heaven-on-Earth’s true sovereignty and promise of the budding golden era some call the Age of Aquarius.

Rare and enigmatic, the Black Lotus AKA Black Lily is the flower most used to represent Lilith due to its mystery, creative power, and beauty… a blossom that arises from primordial waters as evidence of its inner (5D+) evolution. The darkness of the Black Lotus suggests the duality and complexity of Lilith’s independent and potentially dangerous nature. In contrast to the purity and innocence a standard Lily would represent, the Black Lotus is seen as a plant that blooms in the darkness, further reinforcing her association with defiance against an established order, such as the synthetic matrix imposed on humanity’s organic space-time coordinates during the receding Age of Faith/Pisces which Africa in particular experienced as slavery [1619-], (neo)colonialism [1884-], apartheid [1948-], etc… Humanity’s organic womb was unilaterally renamed after Grandmother of Europe, Victoria, who presided over the rape, pillage, and gerrymandering of what God Djehuti referred to as The Temple of the World. At this Temple, the sacred bond called Sema Tawy was established in the Early Dynastic Period [c3150-2613 BCE] to unify Khmt’s South & North kingdoms and to hold as sacrosanct organic Divine Order/Ma’at. This constitutionalized union was symbolized as a human trachea arising from the lungs (Heart-chakra) entwined with the papyrus (north) & lotus (south).

Sema Tawy was clearly not the guiding principle of a hierarchal industrializing global “north” towards the global “south” where, according to proselytizing missionaries and their Gutenberg-Pressed narratives, their God of Genesis [1:26-28] had mandated the aggressive exploitation of organic Eden’s spiritual, human, natural, & cultural resources. However, recent events in African space-time provide fascinating high-profile revelations of a fully engaged Black Lotus/”south”: (1) Elizabeth II [r.1952-2022] – great-great grand-daughter to the colonizing Grandmother of Europe, Victoria [r.1837-1901] – was monarch during Britain’s 2020 tempest in a teacup dubbed “Megxit,” stirred in the social realm by The Firm’s systemic inflexibility in the face of Binadamu’s evolved 21st-century sensibilities. The 2021 naming of the California-born 7th in line to the British throne as Lilibet in honor of Elizabeth II, triggered further hypocritical tantrums from those whose very historical identity, laundered through the Church of England, involved the renaming of people and stolen resources, including the primal waters of true Eden, after the Victorian ‘god’ of Africa’s colonial Genesis. So, little surprise perhaps that the Nov. 2024 resignation of this same Church’s Archbishop would morph into a racist hue & cry against Meghan, Lilibet’s mother, whose 2018 marriage to 5th in line Prince Harry was presided over by Abp. Welby who later presided over the funeral of QE2 [2022] and ensuing coronation of KC3 [2023]. (2) Meanwhile, across the pond it was the hope of many that a Herstoric new day would dawn out of the 2024 #47 POTUS election. And I, for one, am instead left in the aftermath [“2nd Coming”?!] having to ponder over the ironic yet profound significance of the Sanskrit name Kamala – ΑΚΑ “Lotus”…?!

“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” [Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.]… “Look not upon me because I’m Black, because the sun hath looked upon me…” [Song of Songs 1:6]… Binadamu wanafungua ukurasa ⇔ Humanity is turning the page… ❤ ❤ ❤ Blessed Be ❤ ❤ ❤ 

“In every vital activity, it is the Path/Free-quency that matters… A house has the character of the Man who lives in it… If you search for the laws of Harmony [UbuNtu/Ma’at], you will find Knowledge… The best and shortest road toward knowledge of Truth is Nature… The Kingdom of Heaven is already within you; if you understand yourself you will find it… The body is the house of the God/dess. That is why it is said, ‘Wo/Man Know Thy Self’… By knowing one reaches belief. By doing one gains conviction. When you know, dare… You will free yourself when you learn to be neutral and Follow the Instructions of Your Heart without letting things perturb you. This is the way of Ma’at [UbuNtu]…”~Proverbs from Ipet-Resyt [“Southern Sanctuary”] of God Amun & Goddess Mut
