MOYA MONDAY MENTORSHIP SERIES
Dumelang Baholo…Zindlondlo zoMoya…Serpents of Life.
Welcome to Moya Monday Spiritual Mentorship Circle, a weekly offering we bring to you in the spirit of Sankofa. We share these teachings in honour of the movement toward ancestral alignment and the restoration of sovereign spiritual order.
We begin with the Elemental Beings as they are the first to respond when called. They hold the foundations of ritual and help us walk in rhythm with what governs life.
Module 1: Elemental Beings as Spiritual Technologies
In African cosmologies and across many Indigenous knowledge systems, the elements are understood as living beings. They are spiritual intelligences that carry memory, respond to prayer, and participate in ritual. They are part of the sacred order that sustains life.
This module focuses on Six Elemental Beings and their roles in healing, ritual, and ancestral alignment:
💧 Water – Amanzi / Metsi
Carries memory and opens the field of communication. Used in ritual to cleanse the body, call the ancestors, and return what does not belong.
🔥 Fire – Umlilo / Mollo
Clears what is stuck and brings movement. Used in ritual to reveal what is hidden, cut ties with what no longer serves, and bring about transformation.
🌬️ Air – uMoya / Moea
Carries voice, breath, and vibration.
Used in ritual to move prayer, shift energy, and connect across realms.
🌍 Earth – uMhlabathi / Mobu
Holds ancestral remains and the weight of inheritance. Used in ritual to anchor space, receive offerings, and hold what must be laid down.
🪨 Mineral – aMathambo oMhlaba / Lirafshoa
The bones of the Earth. Used in ritual to access memory, hold structure, and transmit knowledge.
🌿 Nature – Indalo / Tlhaho
The living field in which all ritual takes place. Used in ritual to observe, to listen, and to learn through rhythm and response.
🌀 Next Lesson: Water - the one who opens the way.
Amanzi ayakhumbula. Metsi a hopola. Water remembers.
