Black Elves and Leprechauns- Bes All Over The World

Black Elves and Leprakans-  Bes all over the world




Zwarte Piet/ Pieten(Black Pete) is a character who has deep roots in traditional Dutch and Netherlands folklore. He appears in The Netherlands as a Spanish Moor (common to southern Holland in the 1500s), in caricature, as a Black man, with gold earrings and colorful period costumes of a Spanish Moor.

The story goes that Zwarte Piet chose to work with Saint Nicholas as his engineer and magical accompaniment. Since the 18th century in Holland, he has been depicted as a companion to Saint Nicholas in all of his holiday travels. Zwarte Pieten is today commonly depicted as a black person in the colorful pantaloons, feathered cap and ruffles of a Renaissance Moor, This character and tradition was later recorded in a children's book published in 1850. Zwarte Pieten is often portrayed as a mischievous but rarely mean-spirited character, the character is believed to have been derived from Bes the spirit pagan after his traditions. Nowadays, Zwarte Pieten has become a much more respected assistant of Saint Nicholas, often humorous, self-determined, magical and playful.


 
Wikipedia:
Zwarte Piet (pronounced ['zʋɑrtə pit], "Black Pete") is the companion of Saint Nicholas (Dutch: Sinterklaas from which the American figure of Santa Claus is derived) in the folklore of the Low Countries. In its modern form, the character is commonly depicted as a blackamoor, with blackface make-up, and dressed in stylized colourful Renaissance attire, akin to Maures in European heraldry, and similar to Moorish characters in the "Moors and Christians" Iberian folk festivals commemorating the Reconquista.


History of The Moors





The History of the Moors in Europe goes back to a successful harmony of civilization, and goverment for more than 1000 years.

The Moors were a nomadic people from North Africa; originally they were the inhabitants of Mauretania. They invaded and conquered Europe, taking their Islamic religion and culture with them. In the year 711, they overran the Visigoths.

Black Europeans were actually still in existence, living as Original peoples, up to their discovery by Nazis, who gave them the choice of sterilization or incarceration in a death camp.

Black Pete was a free man who chose to engineer the work for SinterKlass. He had the upper hand over his counterpart and was the essential agent in the success of this operation for children all over the world. 

Yet the perpetuation of the depiction of servitude, (which reinforces the idea that Black people should be always in that role,) together with the horrible history and tradition of blackface in the US, means that it is time to revisit some of the old traditions and change them. It does matter that the tradition of blackface was most prominent and therefore most hurtful in the United States. But as with all things, we must find the balance between honoring what is important and adapting to the needs to respect the human dignity of all. If we wish to remember or honor the tradition of "Black Pete", then let him be portrayed by willing black actors/celebrants and as the willing friend of Sinterklaas that he is, and not a comic figure, slave or buffoon. I know that he has been portrayed by Dutch for countless generations in blackface, as a celebration for children, of a long-forgotten historical person, most likely a Moor. However, the time for blackface anywhere has come to an end.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/15/black-pete-arrests_n_6163926.html







Currently, the media is presenting articles about the many Black people who are protesting the public displays of Zwarte Piet by Dutch people wearing "blackface" and Moorish styled costumes. So now the Dutch, meet Globalization –We now exist in a global world and that means we have to expand our knowledge about other cultures and peoples that make up diverse societies. The festival of Black Pete does, appear to be the glaring elephant in the room in the face of the invasion of South Africa by the Dutch!.. I now reflect back as a child living in Germany, people were so fascinated by us when they saw us at public Shopping districts. They would sometimes approach me and touch my skin… Seeing us must have brought back childhood memories of Black Pete. Understanding that the depiction of Moors and Moorish people in Europe has been slanted as one of servitude, now there are more Black citizens in Europe that live as equals and in authority, all over Europe.

Ancient Origins of Leprechauns

As we advance to the New Year, and the new season of spring, let us not forget our original Ancestors. The March Vernal Equinox reigns in the spring. We celebrate Mardi Gras and Fat Tuesday before spring fasting. We acknowledge Bes the Le-Pr Ra Khan- Black people of the forests and St. Patrick- wearing the regalia of "Ptah" Driving out the Uraeus snake hat and snake Headed people, and Easter in the West- celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. These are Agricultural references for an Agrarian society to request an abundant growing season and harvest. Black people have lived all over the planet. Their lives in the north are often reflected in the titles of elves the dwarfs, leprechauns, trolls, and faeries stories.

 

Indigo People of African Descent are the original "Snake Headed" people of Ireland- We the ones who were driven off and/or slaughtered, in the name of a Catholic "saint" who ironically adorned with the symbols of Ptah. Our Black Ancestors knew about the powers of all of the indigenous Herbs like Clover and Thistle. This shines a new reference on the real "Europeans"


 
who was St. Patrick? Why would a man be canonized (declared to be a saint) just because he supposedly got rid of all the snakes in Ireland? Well here is another version.
 
The Twa/Koi San are a pygmy (small people) that have a history that pre-dates the timeline history of Adam and Eve by almost 16500 years. The Twa journeyed to Europe, and Northern Ireland prior to the influence of the Roman Catholic Church and had a cultural, technological, and philosophical impact on Europe. Their influence influenced the Druid and Norse spiritual systems. One of the cultural influences of the Druids/Twa, was in their headdress, and their hair, who many grew into locs that looked like snakes. They wore a fez or head covering that depicted the Kemet symbols known is a Uraeus or cobra raised to strike, which is the same snake image you see worn by the Kings and Queens in ancient Kemet (Egypt).

 The Roman Catholic Church misinterpreted the practices of the Druids, and decided to convert them to their religion. If they couldn't, they would remove their beliefs and symbols, along with the Twa people who were still present in Northern Ireland at that time.  So ST PATRICK was given an order to set up Roman Catholic Churches all over Northern Ireland, and in the process, convert or remove the Druid and Twa influences. Ol Patrick killed countless numbers of Druids and the Twa people, in the name of Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
So when you hear people tell you that he was made a saint because he removed the snakes from Northern Ireland, it's really referring to the Uraeus or lock headed people of the Druids and; the Twa. So the leprechaun represents the short Black men that were murdered all in the name of Christian religion.

BES is the spiritual protector, promoter and healer of the home and family. He/She encourages fertility and watches over and teaches parents and children in their growth and development. Bes holds all of the wisdom and knowledge of the earth. She knows the cycles of time and the seasons. She knows the healing properties of all herbs. She is familiar with the gardens, forests, animals, insects, lakes, rivers, mountains and caves. She knows the prayers, chants, lyrics, limericks, lullabies, the bedtime stories, dances, mathematics, letters, formulas, recipes, and words of power. He symbolizes the Shaman healer of the Nome or Klan. He is chemistry and physics. She represents the Sage, guardian and spiritual intuitive energy to ward off hostile energy from your family, life, home, office or wherever it is present. Bes controls The weather, the rain, and the wind, the earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Bes is Majic. He loves gold and can draw wealth and prosperity to the home. You can find this symbolic image of Bes all over the world. The earliest images of Elves, Trolls, Leprechauns, Fairies, and Gnomes from all over the world were Black. The people are all characteristic and symbolic of our ancient Ancestors -the Twa and Khoisan (also known as "Pigmy") Mother and Father, with their history and wisdom of nature and the universe





Geb Is the Goose that laid the golden egg




Geb (Gabab) was a god of the earth and one of the Piaget-Ennead -9 Great Gods of Kemet. His grandfather was Amen/Atum (the self-created creator god), his father was Shu (Shawaw) and his mother was Tefnut (Tafaf-Natat). Ausar (Osiris), Auset (Isis), Set (Seth/ Satakh) and Het-Heru (Neb-Het/Nephthys/Nabatet-Hatet) were the children of Geb (Gabab) and his sister-wife Nut (Natat). Geb (Gabab) was the third divine pharaoh, reigning after his father, Shu), and before Ausar. He also supported Heru( Horus/Harar) right to the throne following the death of His father Ausar. KMT /KaMaTa/Kamatians believed that the pharaoh was the living image of Heru, the Pr/ pharaoh was sometimes known as the "Heir of Geb.

Aside from cobbling, leprechauns are tied to the idea of luck, shamrocks, and four-leaf clovers. Their miserly wealth, good fortune, and antics make leprechauns an enduring Irish legend known the world over.

Seed Capital to Abolish Food Deserts


Seed Capital to Abolish Food Deserts

From the Cyber Pen of Sasteh Meter Mosley   
November 6th, 2011

To download your Application links: http://www.emwot.ws 

Over the last three years, I have worked with many of you individually to gain more Food Sovereignty for the residents of the East side of Kansas City.  Now I would like to present a funding stream here in Kansas City that can provide the necessary start-up funds for farms, community food projects, stipends for workers, infrastructure for existing pantries, land acquisition, or any other reasonable expenses to wash away any obstacle to producing healthy foods. I am in Oakland, California for the Community Food Security Coalitions with thousands of other in the country that realize we have to take the next step in the Food Movement.

With the announcement that Aldi will open in 2011, It was suggested that the Food Desert in East Kansas City, MO will be eliminated.  Unfortunately, the definition of having a grocery store within a mile (12 city blocks) is woefully inadequate to address the nutritional challenges of low income and high health risk residents.  Several organizations have convened groups to define solutions: 
1.  2008 NBUF Food System meetings at Dubois Learning Center with Bill Grace (DLC), The Beys (Moorish Science Temple), Kenyattas (Seed Restaurant), and Sasteh Mosley (Amen Christ Temple)
2.  2009 Black Agenda Group present Jim Nunley Training on Health Care Foundation, Rosa James (NAACP), Carol Coe, Debra Mann (Emmanuel Community Center)
3.  2009 Stimulus Funds Economic Development Meetings on Creation of Green Jobs (Urban Farming), Marlon Hammonds and Sasteh Mosley, Craig Bland (Freedom Inc), Clyde McQueen (FEC), Ken Bacchus (Economic Development Chair BAG and Freedom Inc.), Carol Coe (Convener), 19 other Activists
4.  2010 Urban Farming Ordinance and Food Policy Summit,  Beth Gothstein (Organizer), Terry Riley, Sharon Sanders Brooks, Cindy Circo, Melba Curls, John Sharp, and Ed Ford (Ten Voted in Favor of Ordinance), KCCUA, GCFPC, Bad Seed, EMWOT, Green Acres
5.  2011 Urban Farm Movement, Will Allen Abolish the Food Desert Event by Green Acres, Chicken Ordinance KCMO, Green Acres Urban Farm and Research Project Aquaponics Program (KCMO, KCMSD, BEU), EMWOT Urban Farm initiatives and services (Real Estate and Land Acquisition for farming, Farm Tours, At-Risk-Youth with Green Careers, Tilling Services, Music CDs, Health Classes), Get Growing Kansas City (CultivateKC.org, KC Community Gardens, and Lincoln University) Adenike AmenRa (AmenRa Par Ankh- Urban Farms, Wheatgrass, Food Preservation Classes)

Let's all take the next step in this movement.  As other movements plan to come into the East side of Kansas City, let’s make sure we continue to do the work to ensure that residents have the healthy, locally grown food they need to be successful.  Let's get these applications in, help others submit them, pass them on to those who are willing to work for a healthier city.  This seed capital can help those with tight budgets do something fun to help them feed themselves, support farm businesses that can hire people, and help existing organizations get into the "teach how to fish" side of feeding people. 
 Please forward this information to the gardeners, farmers, and community leaders you know.  I can provide technical assistance, group presentations, and free workshops to assist in getting the applications complete. 

Thanks,
Sasteh Mosley

The HAND of DEATH and DISEASE

The Hand of Death and Disease

Afrikan Americans are dying at a higher rate than any other ethnic group, from preventable diseases, caused by THE CHOICES THAT WE WILLINGLY FOLLOW AND PUT IN OUR OWN MOUTHS, AND FEED TO OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES EVERY DAY!

I'm writing about our diets- the common western-roman-slave High Carbohydrate/ High Acidic diets, that the majority of people eat in the west. Although Stress, PTSD (Post Traumatic Slavery Disorders,) Pollution, Contamination, Poisons, and Drugs, in our air, water and food aren't enough, and the normal day-in-day-out Micro-Aggression stresses from racism, Racial Profiling, and disenfranchisement takes it's toll on our bodies with excessive cortisol production, we still have choices, like our habits of diet and exercise, that we can choose and control!

American Afrikans have the highest rates of the following diseases, among the population of the U.S. (maybe even the rest of the world where we have assimilated western European culture.)

I list the 5 fingers on THE HAND OF DISEASE AND DEATH:

1. Heart attacks

2. Strokes,

3. type 2 Diabetes,

4. High-blood pressure

5. All Cancers,





These disease death rates are higher than Homicide- including Hate crimes, Black on Black Murder, police brutality killing, and war! These diseases are like a ball and chain, to an already stressful existence. Without a healthy disease-free lifestyle, one is bound to, and often at the mercy of, an often dysfunctional, drug-pushing medical system. As we follow the highly commercialized junk food pushers, we are eating ourselves (and with our own hands serving to our children) a path to misery and an early grave.

Yes, All of these diseases are treated by medical doctors with surgery and long-term medications. I have concluded that the 5 diseases that I have listed, are caused simply by diet choices and lack of exercise and that can be prevented by simply making healthy diet and exercise choices.

Many of our people live by a 2 fisted grip on death and disease on our family.

African Americans suffer disproportionately from several major health problems associated with high morbidity and mortality. The 1985 DHHS Secretary's Task Force Report on Blacks and Other Minorities identified six major disease categories of excess deaths for African Americans compared with whites by applying the lower death rate for whites to the American population. The report provided a stimulus for public and private action to begin to address the health disparities between minority and non-minority populations. This article examines three of the leading causes of death for African Americans and assesses the extent to which the health disparity between African Americans and whites has been reduced. An extensive list of barriers to reducing the disparity are presented from the scientific literature and strategies for reducing the three health problems are recommended.




10 Leading Causes of Death for African Americans

(Causes of Death from 2010)

1. Heart Disease
2. Cancer
3. Stroke
4. Diabetes
5. Unintentional Injuries
6. Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome, and Nephrosis (Kidney Diseases)
Chronic Kidney Disease
7. Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease
8. Homicide- Youth Violence
9. Septicemia
10. Alzheimer's Disease

That's the reason I became vegetarian. I found that our Beef livestock used to eat grass, nurse their own young and roam the prairies as part of a natural habitat. Our Nubian Pastoral and Shepherd Kings- Ancestors from Afrika were the first to Corral and Herd animals through open prairies. -Now, these animals are artificially grown and live in containment factory structures - bred over and over again by the same siblings or cloned in a science center. Often this meat comes from devitalized clones, grown from stem cells. All of this "meat" (Pork, Beef, Chicken, and Fish) has been adulterated. These creatures eat pellets of the remains of their predecessors, that were scooped up from the slaughterhouse! They are injected with antibiotics and hormone growth accelerators. They stand all of their limited lives, on top of their own waste...They are bred through artificial insemination. They are never allowed to bond or see their offspring after they are produced or receive any kind of affection. (That is how many of our ancestors were treated too!)

I attribute a lot of our obesity and cholesterol problems to the consumption of animal fats particularly lard found in pork. While many have argued in defense of pork consumption, (I'm sure that the pork industry has taken a severe blow from the "Swine Flu" coo) it has been quipped "God made everything!" and the notoriously misinterpreted "Arise Peter slay and eat." Yet, when it comes to the justification of serving this gall to our Afrikan families, please, let me ask you this;

Would you eat; decay, fungus, flies, cockroaches, maggots, scavenger carcasses, like vultures, hawks, hyenas and reptiles, plastic, poisons, acid, dirt, feces, rotting carcasses, and molding rotten fruits and vegetables? (God made these too!) Do you know that a worm-infested pig will eat this stuff and not even get sickened by it!

The United States Food System has changed! We are no longer receiving the same foods and varieties that our families consumed 40 years ago! 

See: Codex Alimentarius.  





REMEMBER! THE SURVIVORS OF KATRINA--- who suffered from Diabetes, Cancer, and High blood pressure diseases ---WERE LEFT TO DIE FOR LACK OF FRESH MEDICATIONS! For instance, when the supply of fresh insulin was unavailable to administer to a diabetic, because of lack of electricity and refrigeration,- these people were given a blanket, and comforting words, then abandoned in the presence of medical staff, first aid, and emergency clinics, to transition, waste away, go into shock and die!


Here are some of the criminal, deadly contenders that we feed ourselves and our families every day:
  • Processed sugar 
  • (High fructose) -corn syrup (candy, sweets,) 
  • ALL ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS!
  • Processed Salt
  • Adulterated Animals: Pork, Beef, Chicken and fish consumption as processed meat, (sausage, bologna, hot-dogs, canned) Artificial Crab, butter, lard, whey, oils, (also found in lotions, hair care products, makeup, and other cosmetics)
  • Processed devitalized, white foods, that are starched based carbohydrates, genetically modified grains- Corn and Wheat Flour gluten products - white flour, white rice, white potatoes  
  • Highly acidic and non-nutritive filler "fake foods" also known as junk foods and "snacks", All highly preserved and processed foods and snacks with benzine and other preservatives
  • Milk (Puss!)- and processed dairy products - Butter, Cheese, Ice cream, whey, Yogurt, WE ARE NOT INFANT COWS!
  • Impure and acidic drinking water filled with fluoride, Chlorine, mercury, and lead= (unfiltered tap water)
  • Carbonated, sugary and highly preserved beverages that mimic 100% fruit juice (What is "Cool Aid" anyway?!)
  • Alcoholic drinks
  • Microwaved and irradiated foods
  • Foods wrapped and contained in Aluminum, foam, and plastics (baby Bottles, Nipples, sippy cups, and plastic drinking bottles)
  • "Fast foods" with high levels of sodium, white carbohydrate starches and Acrylamide-
  • Toxic Chemicals on your skin and hair. Remember that your biggest organ, the skin, and scalp- breathes and eats whatever topical product from the cosmetic industry, you put on it- namely petroleum Jelly, arsenic, formaldehyde, and other toxic chemicals. 

Top Sources of Food Carcinogens

Any charred food - from burnt popcorn - to burnt toast, is highly carcinogenic.
Meat in general (in terms of the fats associated) is carcinogenic, especially overcooked meat.
Smoked/ roasted foods like soya, roasted corn, and grilled fish -heated with harmful materials such as tires, treated wood, polyethylene bags, rubber materials etc.
Acrylamide is found in browned foods like bread crust, toast and broiled meats.
Sugar is carcinogenic - whether white or brown. Instead of sugar, substitute honey or Stevia leaves
Stomach cancer is associated with high salt intake, with spicy foods and smoked food
Sodas and Energy drinks are carcinogenic for a variety of reasons beyond their high sugar content and harmful additives.
Artificial sweeteners, sucralose, and particularly aspartame, are carcinogenic
Excessive alcohol with so many preservatives is toxic
Trans fats found in fries and snack chips are carcinogenic
Microbial contaminants and toxins like aflatoxins found in Aspergillum infected nuts and seeds
Chemical food additives (Artificial flavorants, colorants, preservatives) eg. nitrosamines which is a preservative is a cancer precursor
Fluoride and Chloride and may other toxic chemicals and preservatives, found in most beverages and water is Carcinogenic. Question the water content of most beverages; they often use tap water to prepare at restaurants and commercial soft drinks.
Unfortunately, the very container that most processed foods and drinks are stored- is carcinogenic.

SO, WHAT'S LEFT? What other alternative choices do we have?

WE MUST GROW OUR OWN FOODS TO TAKE BACK CHARGE AND CONTROL OF OUR OWN WELL BEING!

 
  • Fresh Fruits- raw as possible, naturally sweet
  • Fresh Vegetables- as raw as possible
  • Whole organic grains- from real grains! Buckwheat, Quinoa, Teff, Amaranth, Kamit, Spelt, Rye, Wild rice, (not genetically modified)
  • Sprouted beans and seeds
  • Seeds and Nuts
  • Herbs
  • The bounty and varieties of Certified or non-certified Organic, heirlooms, homegrown, Foods
  • Clean alkaline water
  • Fresh Clean Air- (even good smelling- natural things like uncut flowers are good for ya and good to ya)
  • Lots of Exercise, Meditation and Rest
  • Creative, Inventiveness, production and manufacture of our own goods, products and foods,
We are the ones who must emancipate ourselves and our progeny from mental slavery! For our own survival, we must cultivate and relearn healthy ways, traditions, and cultural values. It is vital that we acquire an appetite for and a "hunger and thirst after" a righteous lifestyle and not a death-style!

As Women (Womb of mankind,) we have a greater responsibility to support and promote our own health and wellness, as well as a healthy lifestyle and (not a death-style!) for our family and neighborhoods.

IF The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, then WE MUST each TEACH A GIRL-TO HEAL A NATION!
