We belong to a lineage that spans centuries, united by principles of truth, unity, and personal growth. While the teachings of the 16 tribes are sacred, their power lies in being lived and shared openly. One of the most meaningful ways to express these values is by wearing the Camarilla Mask Necklace. This symbol represents not just membership but a lifelong commitment to personal development and the community. Wearing it invites questions and opens the door for meaningful conversations about the legacy and values we embody.
Though every conversation may not be easy, even small gestures—like a kind word or a personal reflection—can plant seeds of understanding. You don’t need to have every answer; sincerity and openness are enough. In a world filled with fleeting connections, the necklace reminds us of something deeper: unity in diversity, a commitment to growth, and the shared journey toward building a better society.
When you wear the Camarilla Mask Necklace with pride, you become a living testament to the values of the 16 tribes. Reflect on the meaning of the mask, let its essence shine through your actions, and inspire others with your quiet strength and dedication.
The Krahn and Sapo: A Shared Heritage and Post-War Division
The Krahn and Sapo tribes of southeastern Liberia share deep historical and cultural roots, with many elders and oral traditions considering them branches of the same ancestral group. Both groups have long resided in what is now Grand Gedeh County, with overlapping customs, languages, and kinship ties. Their unity stretches back to the pre-Liberian independence period, when they formed part of the Sahnpahn and Manpahn Confederacy—a coalition that played a key role in local governance and cultural preservation in the region.
One of the most enduring symbols of this shared heritage is the Sapo mask, an artifact predating Liberia’s formation as a republic. This mask, often associated with rituals of initiation and spiritual protection, embodies the tribes’ connection to their ancestors and traditional governance systems. For centuries, it has been central to ceremonies that unite families across both Krahn and Sapo communities, reinforcing their interconnectedness.
However, the outbreak of the Liberian Civil War (1989-2003) altered these dynamics. During the conflict, the Krahn people became targeted due to their perceived association with certain political factions, particularly under President Samuel Doe, himself of Krahn origin. As the war intensified and targeting escalated, the Krahn sought to distinguish themselves from the Sapo by emphasizing geographic separation—particularly their presence in southern Grand Gedeh and Sinoe Counties. This effort to distance themselves from the violence against Krahn civilians led to a shift in identity politics, marking a formal attempt to delineate the two groups more clearly.
Despite these wartime fractures, the cultural legacy of the Sapo mask and other shared traditions endures, symbolizing a time when both tribes were united under a common banner. Today, efforts to heal post-war divisions emphasize these cultural ties, offering a way forward toward reconciliation and unity.
From now until the end of July 2025, we stand at the threshold of a cosmic dance between Sheta Ntr Tuai, the Bull of Creation, and Heru Ka Pet, the Mysterious One. This celestial alignment, known as a square, marks the initiation of a new cycle of conjunctions within the realm of Air.
Every twenty years, these cosmic titans converge, their energies intertwining to shape the tapestry of our existence. The last such meeting occurred in December 2020 within the constellation of Aquarius, signaling the commencement of a two-century journey through the elements of Air. This epoch follows a preceding two-hundred-year cycle rooted in the Earthly plane, a period concluded in 2020.
The interplay of Sheta Ntr Tuai and Heru Ka Pet is a grand cosmic rhythm, unfolding over eight centuries. Their current dance within the Air signs is a chapter in this vast narrative, a chapter brimming with potential for transformation and revelation.
As this square unfolds, its influence will be felt in every corner of existence. The houses in which these energies reside within one’s birth chart will become focal points for manifestation. The aspects formed between these cosmic forces and other celestial bodies will act as catalysts, shaping the nature of opportunities and challenges.
This is a time of great potential. It is a time to align one’s spirit with the cosmic currents, to harness the creative force of Sheta Ntr Tuai and the wisdom of Heru Ka Pet. Let us embrace this cosmic dance as a journey of growth and discovery.

Sheta Ntr Tuai, the Bull of Creation, and Heru Ka Pet, the Mysterious One, are cosmic parents, their celestial dance a perpetual interplay of expansion and contraction. This dynamic duo embodies the timeless struggle between the old and the new, authority and rebellion.
The current square between these celestial titans marks a critical turning point. It is a cosmic crucible where the visions birthed during the 2020 conjunction are now tested in the fires of reality. The optimism and idealism of Sheta Ntr Tuai are challenged by the structure and limitations imposed by Heru Ka Pet.
These two outer planets, the last visible to the naked eye, symbolize the boundaries of human perception and understanding. They govern the frameworks of our societies, from laws and institutions to cultural norms and values. Sheta Ntr Tuai, with its expansive nature, seeks to push these boundaries, to explore new frontiers of thought and experience. Heru Ka Pet, on the other hand, acts as the guardian of order, ensuring stability and continuity.
The interplay between these cosmic forces will be a defining feature of the coming years. It is a time of both great potential and great challenge. As individuals and as a collective, we are called to find a balance between innovation and tradition, between freedom and responsibility.
The Paris Olympics: A Microcosm of the Cosmic Square
The first square between Sheta Ntr Tuai and Heru Ka Pet since the dawning of the Aquarius era in 2020 places us at a pivotal juncture. It is a cosmic ultimatum: to persevere or to surrender. Sheta Ntr Tuai ignites our souls with boundless ambition, while Heru Ka Pet grounds us in the stark realities of our human limitations.
The Paris Olympics, a global spectacle of athletic prowess, mirrors this celestial drama with uncanny precision. Each athlete embodies the essence of both cosmic forces. The relentless pursuit of excellence, the desire to transcend human boundaries, is the embodiment of Sheta Ntr Tuai. Yet, the physical constraints, the injuries, the disappointments, are the stark reminders of Heru Ka Pet’s influence.
In the crucible of competition, athletes will discover the true nature of their spirit. Will they rise above adversity, fueled by the optimism of Sheta Ntr Tuai? Or will they succumb to the weight of limitations, as dictated by Heru Ka Pet? The world will watch as this microcosmic battle unfolds, a reflection of the larger cosmic struggle playing out above.
The Mental and Emotional Battleground
The upcoming exact square between Sheta Ntr Tuai in Gemini and Heru Ka Pet in Pisces on August 19th, 2024, promises to be a potent catalyst for inner transformation. This alignment between the mutable signs of Air and Water intensifies the age-old conflict between mind and heart, logic and intuition.
Sheta Ntr Tuai in Gemini ignites our intellect, encouraging exploration, communication, and intellectual growth. It’s the voice of curiosity, seeking to understand the world through endless questions. Heru Ka Pet in Pisces, on the other hand, invites us into the depths of our emotions, spirituality, and compassion. It’s the whisper of the soul, urging us to trust our intuition and connect with something greater than ourselves.
This cosmic tension can manifest as internal conflict, as we grapple with balancing our rational mind with our emotional needs. It might also bring external challenges that require us to navigate between logical solutions and compassionate actions. The key lies in finding harmony between these two opposing forces, recognizing that both are essential for our growth and fulfillment.
Embrace the Cosmic Symphony
Indeed, let us harmonize our spirits with the celestial rhythm orchestrated by Sheta Ntr Tuai and Heru Ka Pet. This cosmic dance offers unparalleled opportunities for growth and transformation. By aligning our intentions with the divine order, we invite abundance, wisdom, and fulfillment into our lives.
As the ancient prayer reminds us, let us strive to embody the divine will on Earth as it is in Heaven. In doing so, we become co-creators of a world characterized by balance, harmony, and prosperity.
The story of the Congo people being dropped off in Liberia is tied to the broader history of the transatlantic slave trade and efforts to suppress it in the 19th century. Here is an overview:
1. Abolition and Anti-Slave Trade Patrols: After the abolition of the slave trade by Britain in 1807 and by the United States in 1808, both nations began patrolling the West African coast to intercept illegal slave ships. The British Royal Navy and the American Navy captured many of these ships.
2. Liberia’s Founding: Liberia was established by the American Colonization Society (ACS) in the early 19th century as a place to resettle freed African Americans. The first group of settlers arrived in 1822. The capital, Monrovia, was named after U.S. President James Monroe.
3. Liberated Africans: When illegal slave ships were intercepted, their captives, often referred to as “recaptives” or “liberated Africans,” needed a place to go. Liberia became a key resettlement location. The British and American navies would bring these freed Africans to Liberia.
4. Congo People: Many of the Africans who were freed and brought to Liberia were originally from the Congo River basin. They became known as “Congo people” in Liberia. Over time, this term expanded to include not just those from the Congo region but also other liberated Africans from various parts of West Africa.
5. Integration into Liberian Society: The Congo people were integrated into Liberian society, which was already composed of African American settlers, indigenous African tribes, and other groups. This integration was complex, with various social, cultural, and political dynamics at play. Over time, the Congo people and their descendants became an integral part of the Liberian social fabric.
This story reflects the intertwined histories of the transatlantic slave trade, colonialism, and the formation of new African identities and communities in the 19th century.
1. Roots: The underground part of the tree that anchors it in the soil and absorbs water and nutrients. 2. Trunk: The main stem of the tree that provides support and carries water and nutrients between the roots and the leaves. 3. Branches: The woody extensions of the trunk that grow outwards and support the leaves, flowers, and fruits. 4. Leaves: The flat, green structures attached to the branches that carry out photosynthesis, producing food for the tree. 5. Bark: The protective outer covering of the trunk and branches that helps prevent water loss and protects against pests and diseases. 6. Twigs: The small, thin branches that grow from the larger branches and hold the leaves. 7. Buds: Small, undeveloped growths on the branches that contain the potential for new leaves, flowers, or shoots. 8. Flowers: The reproductive structures of the tree that produce pollen and attract pollinators for fertilization. 9. Fruits: The mature ovaries of the tree that contain seeds and are often consumed by animals, aiding in seed dispersal. 10. Seeds: The reproductive units of the tree that contain the embryo and are capable of developing into new trees.
These are some of the main parts of a tree, but there may be additional specialized structures depending on the species of tree.
In Bassa, the parts of a tree can be described as follows:

Left with no recourse after being blocked by NASA’s public affairs officer, I brought my concerns regarding the Challenger disaster to the Brevard County Commissioners.
Halfway through my speech the Chairman of the board decided my request was not relevant to their jurisdiction and had myself and a couple others removed by police for challenging him.
I simply wanted the board to stand in solidarity with me in demanding the Senate subcommittee on space science open a new investigation into the Challenger disaster.
