Earth Day

Amen Par Ankh Earthday

The Amen Par Ankh in Kansas City is celebrated Earthday during the Vernal Equinox! We also contribute to the Earth Day celebrations in April.

The Envisioning of New Life at Amen Par Ankh Earth Day Celebration Is held at the Freedom Fountain Amphitheatre

We gather from 10:00am for our Noon Libations and Festival of the Peret Seeds.

We will have an online presentation with workshops on Envisioning- Vision boards, Mandela Healing circles, Dream Catchers, Smudge sticks, and other Make and Take items for contributions. 

Earth Day is an annual celebration usually recognized in the spring. Many special events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for Ecology and environmental protection and stewardship. Mother Earth is a nurturing life-giving force. She responds to the season and elemental powers of the son and atmosphere.

Kemetic deities evolved over time. As the old kingdom gave way to the middle kingdom, Mut was transformed into Het-Heru (Hathor), and ultimately Auset (Isis). Auset is the goddess of the earth. This page describes her in her capacity as Mother Nature, the goddess progenitor of animals, and the inventors of new plant life. Ancient Greeks identified Auset with the goddess Aphrodite (foam-arisen) and the Romans as Venus. Both Aphrodite and Venus were considered goddesses of love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and, through association as Earth Mother.

 

In Afrika and all over the world, many figurines of what appears to be an amply endowed and pregnant human female, have been unearthed during archaeological excavations. This Icon of the Great Queen Mother Goddess is symbolized to help us to embrace our planet and reconnect with life and all nature.

One of the most famous of these figurines, is the Venus of Willendorf. She is believed to have been carved somewhere between 24,000 to 22,000 BCE, in the Upper Paleolithic or late Stone Age. It is widely believed that these figurines represent the mother goddess of fertility.

These most ancient depictions of a mother goddess further suggest a more sophisticated and global view of a creator goddess or Earth Mother. This “Earth as Mother” motif is found in many mythologies around the planet. The goddess figure embodies or personifies a fertile earth. She is seen as the creative force, often giving birth to a myriad of other deities, or to the universe itself.

In Sumerian mythology, the earth goddess Ki (cuneiform ki is the sign for earth) as the consort of Anu, an earth god. It is Anu and Ki who give birth to the Anunnaki, recently made popular by proponents of Ancient Astronaut Theory. 

The notion of an earth mother Mut or Maut (Ma'at) is the ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) mother goddess. Mut was known as the “primal mother of all who was born of the sun.” As a creator deity, Mut was revered as the mother from whom the cosmos emerged. She is associated with the primordial waters of Amen, from which everything was born.  

Through parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction in which the development of embryos occur without fertilization- Immaculate Conception… (shades of the virgin birth mythos)

Just as Aphrodite is portrayed as emerging from the sea upon a scallop shell, so is the ancient title for the Blessed Virgin Mary the Star (Polaris or the North Star) of the Sea. With Mother Mary, the virgin birth motif is carried into Christian mythology. Although modern Christianity does not necessarily view Mother Mary as an Earth or Mother Goddess, early Christian sects, circa 300AD did.

Modern western culture has multiple representations of Earth Goddess. Most widespread is the Mother Nature motif. Another popular and more recent representation of Earth Goddess is Earth as Gaia. The ancient Greek earth goddess Gaia has in modern times become the name for Gaia philosophy, where it is postulated that organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a self-regulating, complex system that contributes to maintaining the conditions for life on the planet.

An intriguing psychedelic and shamanic mythology for Mother Nature is personified in the South American Mother Ayahuasca motif. Mother Ayahuasca is a benevolent and loving entity encountered by shamans.
In our modern world of climate change and renewed pressures placed upon our precious natural resources, a deeper understanding of “Goddess” or Queen Mother earth-based philosophy is vitally important. Let us not forget that our shared Mother Earth is but a tiny speck in the vastness of space.

Living consciously is not only about knowing the Glory of Our-Story and the heritage of our Ancient Ancestors. We must breathe new life back into our Children by cultivating living creative spiritual lifestyles!

*How many of our Indigo Families practice their own languages and disabused their US surnames- outside of US religion or cult indoctrination?
*How many of our families name their infants and newly born souls, after a spiritually conscious name that aligns with their destiny?

*How many have a relationship with a local Spiritual Elder, counselor or mentor, who can connect and share the Destiny, Health, Career, and Relationships of your family network? Many only depend on organized Indoctrinations of Religions or organizations from their oppressors, that function outside of their families for consultations and advice.

*How many conscious families Meditate, Venerate their Ancestors, Chant, Pray together?

*How many practice Breathing, Martial Arts, Exercise, Massage, Listen to music together, or even, play, sing, dance, exercise, draw or paint together?

*How many families constructively come together to assess growth and development and plan for generational wealth? Economics is a family-based system, our greatest economic success from our Ancestral past would last and accumulate for thousands of years! We practiced communal, family-based, gnome-driven Group economics. These structures provided generational and residual wealth.

*Do you have vision boards in common to envision a place together in your future?

*How many families home-school their children?

*Do you read to or with your children? What choices of books do you share?

*How many of our families EAT and drink together? What are we feeding our youth?

*Are we growing our own foods and healing herbs, and know that the Mind Soul and Body are connected?

*How many youth are involved with a rite of passage program?

*How many youth are directly connected to a Family elder or Mentor?

*How many families homestead, or hunt, fish, or create or produce together collectively?

*How many own their own land and resources

*How many manufacture and produce their own products that they need?

*How many create cultural and industrial Arts and crafts? There are now an abundance of Alternative healing resources available for people to live prosperously.

*Do we celebrate the seasons of life- The Equinoxes and Solstices?

*Do we take nature walks and commune with the universe like Birding, Plant Identification, Stargazing, Sun-watching, Moongazing visiting spiritual centers like mounds or caves?

 *Do we bless our homes and new businesses with a Spiritual Elder who can cleanse and bring good spirits to our environments? 

* Do we should employ and seek the counsel of our elders for accountability, in all-new matters and concerns...

We must encourage our youth to return to their neighborhoods and families to rebuild our own economies, outside of the Race supremacy system. Other cultural communities are successful because they Love and employ their own youth in a family-based economic system for accountability. We have cooperative economic systems based on culture, language, foods, and manufacturing/production.

Environmental Art Speaks for the Planet- Artist Visionary Cyrus Kabiru

A self-taught sculptor and painter, Cyrus Kabiru is crafting visually striking artwork from abandoned refuse he collects from the streets of the Kenyan capital.

"When I woke up every morning, the first thing I'd see was trash," recalls Kabiru, whose childhood home faced a garbage heap where all of Nairobi's waste was dumped in Kenya. "I used to say to my dad that when I grow up, I want to give trash a second chance."
And that's exactly what he went on to do.
Cyrus Kabiru's Optical Art is the most fascinating use of re-purposed materials. As the eyes are the light of the soul, Kabiru has reflected and transported the discarded technology of the western world into a bold transmogrification.

Using wires, spoons and bottle tops, his artistry gains a new lease of life for found refuse materials as vital components of his art pieces. His art depicts the concept of looking at the world through rose colored glasses. He has been able to see trash as treasure, yet more to the idea of peering through the looking glasses and seeing the magic of life, nature and the environment.

Kabiru has created other pieces besides his Optical art...

Our Ancient Ancestors paid humble Propitiation to the environment and for anything that was removed. A prayer and offering was made before entering a river, a forest, a cave, or a mountain. if an animal was taken EVERY part of the animal was used, there was no waste… This is how the Artisans and craftworkers came to be. 

Now we produce products that remain in the environment for hundreds of years and do not biodegrade in a healthy way for the planet. Tons of toxic liquids are just sprayed out into the atmosphere from planes, dumped into the oceans, sealed a buried underground, in caves, or even burned!… 

We all have accountability to the planet. All of the trash, like dirty water going down the drain affects the planet in other parts of the world. These pieces of plastic are permeating and permuting the planet. Plastic bottles and lids of all kinds, plastic wrappers, plastic medicine containers, snack wrappers, plastic grocery sacks, bottle tops, Plastic Cigarette lighters, foam meat trays, medical vials and tubing, COVID surgical masks, Latex gloves, spent diabetes needles, broken television monitors, shoe foam inserts, Flip flops spent batteries, Polyester, acrylic and nylon clothing, soda can liners, water bottles, broken television monitors, Aluminum, Mercury, automotive liquids and parts, etc, etc., Are clogging up our waterways sea shores and land .

Remnants of plastic containers end up in the world's oceans where they are beaten by waves and the surf into smaller particles that float, often getting captured by ocean gyres. Other bits end up on beaches. Ingestion of such plastics kills many marine animals. Sea birds, including petrels and albatrosses, think floating plastic is food and they feed it to their chicks, killing them. Marine turtles mistake floating plastic bags for their natural food jellyfish and eat it, becoming constipated and die.

Plastic products are dangerous and hazardous to your health as well as the lives of many other animals. It is best not to drink out of plastic bottles or eat canned food from cans lined with plastic. Do not microwave food in plastic containers -- use glass, it's inert.

 

These pictures inspired me and effected my thoughts on my creative journey.. These photos are why I began Adenike’s Arts, reduce, reuse, recycle an environmental Art initiative. 

We now have plastic in our food supply, a in our children’s vital organs. Researchers studying the effects of female hormones on cancer were perplexed when their distilled water controls tested positive for the female hormone estrogen. Eventually, after some months of sleuthing, they discovered that the plastic centrifuge tubes they were using were leaching out molecules that mimicked estrogen. Further research identified the offending molecules as alkylphenol polyethoxylates (chemicals found in many detergents, pesticides, and personal-care products), which can break down into nonylphenol and other chemicals that mimic estrogens when they encounter bacteria in animals' bodies, in the environment, or in sewage treatment plants. Another group of researchers found an estrogen mimic, bisphenol-A, leaching from polycarbonate, an entirely different kind of plastic. Polycarbonate is used in the manufacture of lab flasks, as well as many consumer products, including jugs and bottles used for drinking water. Bisphenol A is also found in high concentrations in the plastic linings used for canned foods. The use of plastic containers for baby foods is of grave concern.

Certain plastics in common use, produce estrogen mimics that disrupt the action of normal hormones, causing feminization. Unfortunately these leach into groundwater supplies. If ingested, these molecules can cause breast and prostate cancers, premature puberty among young females, as well as decreased sperm counts among males. Estrogen mimics from plastics also provoke insulin resistance which can lead to diabetes.

WE EACH HAVE TO DO SOMETHING! Melinite people must speak on behalf of the environment.

WE MUST SAVE PERMANENT STANDARD TIME 

AND END DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!

PLASTIC DOES NOT BIODEGRADE BACK INTO THE ENVIRONMENT! They represent our toxic waste and the gigantic carbon footprint of each individual, in a consumer society. So many of these plastic fragments are eaten by birds and toxic fluids are consumed by fish. So many animals are choking, suffocating, and caught in plastic.
This is the view of Cyrus Kibiru. Since his childhood, he had the view of a garbage mountain of imperialistic conspicuous consumerism waste. Through all of the toxic slop, he has made something beautiful.

Earth Day Black Queen Mother Goddess

The Amen Par Ankh in Kansas City is celebrating Earth Days beginning Saturday, April 19th, at 9:00am, until the end of the month of April. We will have an internet Podcast presentation with workshops on Envisioning, make and take gifts, of $5-  Mandela Healing circles, Dream Catchers, Smudge sticks, and Vision boards.

Earth day is held after the season of Lent, Passover and Easter or "Resurrection day" and is an annual celebration usually recognized, April 22. Many special events are held worldwide to demonstrate support for Ecology and environmental protection and stewardship. Mother Earth is a nurturing life giving. She responds to the season and elemental powers of the son and atmosphere.

 

The First Council of Nicaea (325ad) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the March equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (although the astronomical equinox occurs on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is not necessarily on the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies from 22nd of March to 25th of April.

The name "Easter" is merely the slightly changed English spelling of the name of the ancient Assyrian goddess Ishtar, pronounced by the Assyrians exactly as we pronounce "Easter." The Babylonian name of this goddess was Astarte, consort of Baal, the Sun-god. The Teutonic Goddess Eostra was known as the Goddess of Spring and fertility... Under Constantine in the 4th century AD, the Christians assimilated this festival and called it the Resurrection. So the name Easter is derived from the Goddess Oestare, Ostern, Ishtar,Astarte, Eostra or Eostre, depending upon which cultural literature you read.

The female hormone oestrogen (estrogen) can claim its Latin language roots to this Goddess. The fertility aspect of Ostara is symbolized by the egg. It is believed that eggs and another symbol of fertility - the rabbit - surrounded the Spring Goddess, Eostra. Hot cross buns were another stolen aspect of Ostara by Christians... At the feast of Oestre, an ox was sacrificed.. The ox horns symbolized the feast and were carved into ritual bread . The symmetrical cross has been continued to decorate the buns, that are now commonly called hot cross buns.. So you see it was stolen from the Pagans, Life, Death, Rebirth, it represents to us. The Christians stole it to represent the Resurrection.

Lent was observed in Egypt (Wilkinson's Egyptians). This Kemetic (Egyptian) Lent of forty days was held expressly in commemoration of Asar (Osiris,) symbolic of all things green and growing. (The Two Babylons, by Hislop, pages 104 and 105, and Sabean Researches, by Landseer, p. 112).

 

Many figurines of what appear to be a black amply endowed and pregnant human female, have been unearthed during archaeological excavations. This Icon of the Great Queen Mother Goddess Nut, is symbolized to help us to embrace our planet and reconnect with life and all nature.

One of the most famous of these figurines, is the Venus of Willendorf. She is believed to have been carved somewhere between 24,000 to 22,000 BCE, in the Upper Paleolithic or late Stone Age. It is widely believed that these figurines represent the mother goddess of fertility.

This “Earth as Mother” motif is found in many mythologies around the planet. The goddess figure embodies or personifies a fertile earth.

It is Anu and Ki who give birth to the Anunnaki, recently made popular by proponents of Ancient Astronaut Theory. The notion of an earth mother and father Nut is the ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) mother goddess. Nut was known as the “primal mother of all who was born of the sun.” As a creator deity, Nut was revered as the mother from whom the cosmos emerged. She is associated with the waters of Amen, from which everything was born through parthenogenesis, a form of asexual reproduction in which the development of embryos occur without fertilization- Immaculate Conception… (shades of the virgin birth mythos?)

Kemetic deities evolved over time. As the old kingdom gave way to the middle kingdom, Nut was transformed into Het-Heru (Hathor), and ultimately Auset (Isis). Auset was the wife of Ausar And the virgin Mother of Heru. Auset is the goddess of the earth. We also describe her in her capacity as Mother Nature, the goddess progenitor of animals, and the inventors of new plant life. Ancient Greeks identified Auset with the goddess Aphrodite (foam-arisen) and the Romans as Venus.
