Of Tools and Blueprints: Distinguishing Technical Proficiency from Spiritual Authority in Post-Colonial Education

Within the current geopolitical asymmetry, a pragmatic concession may be made: the technical and procedural knowledge held by the Euro-colonial system—what they term ‘occupational skills,’ mathematics, and certain trades—can be temporarily engaged with. This is not because their epistemology is superior, but because these are, in their fragmented way, applications of universal laws they themselves do not fully comprehend. Mathematics, in its pure form, is a language of the cosmos, echoing the geometric and numerological principles foundational to our own Poro sciences.

However, this engagement must be strictly circumscribed. It is a profound error, a violation of the very principles of knowledge custodianship, to permit them authority over the pedagogical spaces of history, cosmogony, and ethico-spiritual development—what we understand as the core of sawe (way of life).

The rationale is clear and evident in their historical-ontological project: The colonial-canaanite system is built upon a foundational act of epistemicide. Their power is not merely maintained by the sword, but by the deliberate severing of a people from their own narrative, their own ancestors, their own domei (origins/cosmology). To allow them to teach history is to allow the arsonist to write the report on the fire. To allow them to teach morality is to let the poison dictate the antidote.

Their entire modern hegemony is predicated on the suppression of the deeper knowledge systems of the Global South—the very systems that understood harmony with nature, communal responsibility, and spiritual balance long before their arrival. They hoard fragments of operational knowledge, what we might call the keke (outer shell), while actively destroying or obfuscating the ngɔŋ (inner seed/kernel) of true wisdom. This is not accidental; it is strategic. An ignorant populace, disconnected from its own heritage and spiritual strength, is a populace that can be ruled, exploited, and consumed.

True knowledge—the kind that fosters balanced individuals and just societies—is not a commodity to be transferred by those who specialize in extraction. It is a sacred trust, earned through initiation, lived experience, and a commitment to the upliftment of the whole community, not the domination of it. Therefore, we must engage with their tools where necessary for navigation, but we must never confuse the toolmaker for the master builder, nor grant them the authority to define the blueprint of our soul. Our curriculum must be our own, rooted in the ancient, living wisdom of our ancestors and the land itself.

Kamite New Year, Celebrated in Summer, Marks Year 6262, Not 2025



On Saturday, several African communities came together to honor the Kamite New Year, a symbol of cultural resilience.

“This calendar recalls the antiquity of our civilizations,” explained Bayala Lianhoué Imhotep, a pan-African activist.

Celebrated in countries like Burkina Faso, Mali, and Congo, the event embodies a reconnection with African roots. The term “Kamite” is derived from Kemet, the Ancient Egyptian word for “black earth,” which Afrocentrists have adopted.

Blood Ink on Parchment: The Decrees That Built The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade


The transatlantic slave trade did not begin with a whisper, but with the scratch of a quill—signed in gold-leaf arrogance, sealed in blood, and delivered on waves of stolen breath. The architects of this horror were not mere men, but crowns and mitres, their words etched into ledgers of suffering. Let us unroll their scrolls.

1. The Papal Knife (1452–1455)

Nicholas V

Before the ships, there was the word. And the word came from Rome.

  • Dum Diversas (1452)—Nicholas V’s dagger of ink, granting Afonso of Portugal the “right” to invade, pillage, and enslave “Saracens, pagans, and other enemies of Christ.”
  • Romanus Pontifex (1455)—A second stroke, carving Africa into a corpse for Europe to feast upon. The Vatican’s blessing turned men into cargo.

These were not decrees. They were warrants for genocide.

2. The Spanish Contract (1518)

Cover of the English translation of the Asiento contract signed by Britain and Spain in 1713 as part of the Utrecht treaty that ended the War of Spanish Succession. The contract granted exclusive rights to Britain to sell slaves in the Spanish Indies.

Charles I of Spain, trembling with colonial greed, dipped his pen and signed the asiento into being. The decree was simple:

  • “Fill the mines. Feed the plantations. Let the Indies drown in forced labor.”
  • By 1526, the first slave ships groaned under the weight of chained bodies, their names replaced with numbers.

The ink was dry before the screams began.

3. The Royal African Company’s Charter (1663–1672)

England entered the trade like a thief in a cathedral—quiet at first, then brazen.

  • Charles II, the “Merry Monarch,” gifted his cousins a monopoly on human flesh.
  • The Royal African Company’s crest bore an elephant and castle, but its true emblem was the branding iron.

Their ships left London heavy with guns, returned heavy with souls. Profit was measured in bones.

4. The Dutch Calculus (1621)

The West India Company was no mere enterprise—it was a syndicate of death.

  • Their ledgers listed men as “pieces”, women as “units”, children as “fractional cargo.”
  • The Stadtholders of Amsterdam grew fat on sugar and sorrow.

The Architecture of Suffering

These documents were not laws. They were spells—incantations that transmuted flesh into currency. Every signature was a shackle. Every seal, a tombstone.

And yet—the enslaved resisted. They whispered their own decrees in the dark:

  • On the ships, they hummed dirges that became freedom songs.
  • In the fields, they plotted revolts with hoes as weapons.
  • In their hearts, they preserved names the ledgers could not burn.

The trade began with paper, but it ended with fire.

Movie Review: Mac and Devin Go to High School (2012)


By: The Camarilla Mask™ Culture Blog

Let’s be clear from the jump—Mac and Devin Go to High School is not here to win Oscars. This 2012 stoner comedy starring hip-hop legends Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa is a smoke-filled ride through the hallways of absurdity, with just enough plot to keep the jokes rolling and the music bumping. And honestly? That’s exactly what makes it cult classic material.

The premise is simple: Devin (Wiz Khalifa) is your classic overachiever, stressed out over college applications and his valedictorian speech. Mac (Snoop Dogg), meanwhile, is a 15th-year senior who treats high school more like a lounge than a launchpad. When these two worlds collide, you get an unlikely friendship, heavy clouds of wisdom (and weed), and a storyline that’s more vibes than structure.

From a cultural lens, Mac and Devin captures a unique moment in hip-hop history. 2012 was the peak of Wiz Khalifa’s “Taylor Gang” wave, and Snoop was entering his reggae “Lion” phase—but both were rooted in the weed-loving, laid-back ethos that gave the film its personality. The soundtrack, featuring the now-iconic “Young, Wild & Free,” does more emotional heavy-lifting than the plot ever attempts, carrying the film with its smooth production and sing-along hooks.

Yes, the humor is juvenile. Yes, there’s a talking joint animated in cartoon form (appropriately named “Slow Burn”). And yes, many of the scenes are one big excuse for smoke sessions, party montages, or corny one-liners. But beneath the surface haze, there’s a charm to this movie—a sincerity about friendship, being true to yourself, and learning to loosen up.

At its heart, Mac and Devin Go to High School is about balance. Mac teaches Devin how to live a little, and Devin—surprisingly—helps Mac see he’s capable of more than coasting. It’s a wild, weed-scented buddy comedy with flashes of real chemistry between its leads.

Final Thoughts:
For fans of hip-hop culture, stoner comedies, or just seeing two rap icons have a good time, Mac and Devin is worth the watch. It won’t change your life—but it might change your mood. And maybe that’s all it’s trying to do.

NASA and the Occult Connection





NASA’s early history does have connections to individuals involved in occult practices:

1. Jack Parsons – A brilliant rocket scientist and co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Parsons was also deeply involved in Thelema, an occult philosophy founded by Aleister Crowley. He performed rituals seeking spiritual guidance for his scientific work, blending mysticism with rocketry.


2. Wernher von Braun – A former Nazi scientist brought to the U.S. through Operation Paperclip, he played a key role in NASA’s rocket programs. While there is no direct evidence of his involvement in the occult, he worked closely with Parsons and was influenced by the early rocketry community.


3. L. Ron Hubbard – Before founding Scientology, Hubbard was involved with Parsons in occult rituals, attempting to invoke supernatural forces. His later religious movement combined elements of science fiction and esoteric knowledge.


4. Aleister Crowley – Although not directly connected to NASA, his Thelemic philosophy influenced Parsons, who saw himself as continuing Crowley’s magical work in a new scientific age.



This mix of technology, mysticism, and secret knowledge suggests that the origins of NASA were shaped not just by science but also by esoteric beliefs.

Ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) Cosmology and Modern Planetary Names

The idea that modern planetary bodies have connections to ancient deities is rooted in Kemetic (Egyptian) cosmology. The Neteru (gods) were personifications of cosmic forces, many of which align with celestial bodies:

Ra (Sun) – Later became the basis for solar worship in many cultures.

Djehuti (Thoth, Mercury) – God of wisdom, linked to the planet Mercury.

Heru (Horus, Mars) – Associated with war, much like the Roman god Mars.

Set (Chaos, Saturn) – Saturn’s association with destruction and time mirrors Set’s chaotic nature.

Aset (Isis, Venus) – The divine feminine, later syncretized with Venus.


These planetary associations continued through Greco-Roman traditions and persist in modern astronomy. The Western space program, consciously or unconsciously, continues this tradition by naming celestial bodies after deities, reinforcing an ancient mystical system under the guise of science.

Hollywood’s Role in Space Theatrics

Hollywood has played a massive role in shaping public perceptions of space exploration. Films and television shows blur the lines between reality and fantasy, reinforcing a quasi-religious belief in space travel. Examples include:

James Bond “Moonraker” (1979) – Showcased space colonization, secret elite projects, and the weaponization of space.

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – Heavily influenced by esoteric themes, exploring human evolution through extraterrestrial intervention.

Star Wars & Star Trek – Merging ancient mythologies with futuristic space travel.


NASA collaborates with Hollywood to maintain public interest and shape the collective imagination about space, possibly as part of a broader agenda to present space exploration as a new frontier of human salvation and transcendence.

Global Comparisons: Are Other Nations Doing the Same?

Other space programs also incorporate mythology and esoteric symbolism:

Russia (Roscosmos) – Deeply connected to cosmist philosophy, which blends space travel with spiritual transcendence.

China (CNSA) – Names lunar missions after ancient deities like Chang’e, the moon goddess.

India (ISRO) – Uses Hindu cosmology in its mission naming, such as Chandrayaan (Moon craft).


This suggests that space exploration is not purely a scientific endeavor but also a continuation of ancient mystical traditions under a modern, technological guise.

Conclusion: Is Space Science an Occult Religion?

While NASA presents itself as purely scientific, its roots in the occult, connections to esoteric figures, and reliance on symbolism indicate that space exploration may serve as a modern spiritual system. The blending of science, myth, and media creates a belief system where space is the ultimate frontier, replacing traditional religious cosmologies. Whether intentionally or not, this structure resembles an occult religion, where initiates (astronauts, scientists) seek hidden knowledge (space exploration) and the masses follow their revelations with faith.

Hibiscus tea has been used in Egypt and Sudan for hundreds of years, where it is called “Karkade.” In ancient Egypt, the tea was served cold and used primarily by Pharaohs to cool off in the desert heat.
Hibiscus tea played an important role in several religious and healing ceremonies in the Nile Valley during this time.

If you drink this as a tea meditation let it help you open your root, sacral and heart chakra, let it help you open honest communication with yourself and others.

In Africa, hibiscus has been used for centuries to regulate body temperature, lower blood pressure, support heart health, and alleviate upper respiratory troubles.

Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C and minerals, and is also revered as a mild tonic.

Hibiscus tea prevents oxidative stress due to its antioxidant properties that fight free radicals that cause damage to DNA and the cells.

Liberia Legal System

The legal system in the Republic of Liberia is a dual one, combining elements of both statutory law and customary law:

Statutory Law: The modern sector of Liberia’s legal system is based on Anglo-American Common Law. This system relies on written statutes and legal precedents established by court decisions. It governs various aspects of contemporary legal matters.


Customary Law: For the indigenous people of Liberia, customary law plays a significant role. It is based on unwritten customary practices that have been passed down through generations. Customary law encompasses traditional norms, rituals, and community practices.
Notably, Liberia’s legal framework also includes provisions related to intellectual property and the protection of traditional cultural expressions within its Constitution.

Liberia has adopted two Constitutions since its foundation. The first was the 1847 Constitution which was suspended on April 12, 1980, following the coup d’etat which overthrew the presidency of H. E. William R. Tolbert, Jr.
The second Constitution replaced the Liberia constitution of 1847 which was approved and adopted by a National Referendum on July 3, 1984.

As the fundamental law of the Republic of Liberia, the Constitution defines the structure of the Government of Liberia, the rights and duties of the country’s citizens, its mode of passing laws and specifies the principle of separation and balance of the legislative, executive and judicial powers.

The legislative power is vested in the Legislature, which consists of two separate houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives (Art. 29).
The executive power is vested in the President, who is the Head of State, Head of Government and Commander–in–Chief of the Armed Forces of Liberia (Art. 50).
The judicial power is vested in a Supreme Court and subordinated courts (Art. 65).

The Constitution contains provisions concerning intellectual property on the protection of traditional cultural expressions. It protects the right to preserve foster and maintain the positive Liberian culture, values and character (Art. 27. b.).
The Constitution also guarantees the freedom of expression (Art 15. b), the right of private property (Art. 22. a) which can be extended to the intellectual property rights.
