Ikaya - Ukunyathela Amabala as Iyeza elikhulu

Home as remedy. Body as home. Home as remedy. Plant medicine as home. Home as a remedy. Song as home. Home as remedy. Feet touching soil as home. Home as remedy. Nature as home. Home as remedy. Community and family as home. Home as remedy. Grave sites as home. Home as remedy.

There are so many ways to heal, revel and honour ourselves and our ancestors. There is a spiritual charge associated with familial homesteads. The push to find remedies outside of ourselves or our bloodlines can often leave one feeling a bit lost or not quite where they should be. Sometimes all you need is to GO HOME. Home being the remedy. Home not being limited to just structures, but people, folklore, songs and the soil itself. Some things are often territorial and you find that it needs a specific landscape to remedy the ailment. Kukho konke. Thandaza ubuwena nabantu bakuni. May home always be a soothing balm.

Le shoba lam, shoba labangoma ngiyabingelela, shoba labangoma ngiyabingelela.

It is the season of greetings. Of veneration. Of offerings. Of communion. Of slaughtering. Of ancestral growth whether for boys going into initiation in the xhosa/sotho culture. Or just the rest that comes from taking seasonal leave at work. All of these things bring us closer to friends and family and ultimately amadlozi.

In true african fashion, siyabingelela, we greet you in the name of healing. In the name of love. And in the name of honour.

Matthew 4: 1-4

"Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."

The word of God remains true. A person cannot be nourished only by worldly things. A person needs to feed themselves on the nourishment of the good word of God. A person may be tempted and even swayed by wordly things but the biggest thing that will keep you fed is God's word and mercy. May you remember to be kind to yourself.

AMEN 🌻🌻

Our curiosity will always aid us in our spiritual journey. Remaining open and curious to the wonders your ancestors show you. Remembrance of our people forged through the thread of needle or a tiny glass bead . Each moment of intrigue is a sounding call to our lineage to stand up.

May you remain ever curious and ever open 🌱

A MERCIFUL GOD

We serve a merciful God. Meaning that HE considers us and our lives with great detail and attention. He forgives our sins and transgressions without being forced or asked, very merciful. It also means God doesn't choose to be merciful to you only. He is even merciful to those who hurt us. And isn't that wonderful? That even in your life no matter the mistakes and the transgressions, no one can intervene or intercede except God. That your blessings and shortcomings are subject to his scrutiny and his eye only. He chooses you and your giftings purposefully. He honors his promises purposefully. And He also let's you fall purposefully. Just so that when you finally do get up, it is by His Grace and His Mercy. Nobody has monopoly over God. No one owns Him. Nobody can buy Him. Even the greatest prayer warriors cannot say He belongs to them only. He belongs to all whom seek him out and worship Him.

In short, pray with faith and patience. All happens in due time. Kuzolunga. As it is written, so it shall be.
Amen 🙏🌿
