Today We Celebrate the Ritual Cycle of Gbĕlŭgan

Today in our sacred calendar we celebrate Gbĕlŭgan. Gbĕlŭ means to overcome an obstacle. Gan is something big/great. It is a 45-day ritual cycle done to the deities to target specific familial and community issues. It is designed to bring energies back into alignment on a larger and more collective scale. There are no blood sacrifices for these cycles.

Chapter 73 of the sacred Gànhúmehàn is chanted during Gbĕlŭgan. House cleanings are done. Drumming, singing, affirmations and reaffirmation is done, going over one’s personal mission statements, are all part of this important festival.

This is also a specially designed calendar observance with rituals designed to repel and eradicate those acts and persons who are the enemies of Máwùfɛ (Afrika) and Máwùfɛnugbɛtɔ (Afrikan people). This includes all acts that oppress Máwùfɛnugbɛtɔ and all of those who engage in it.

The rituals are primarily geared towards warrior divinities like Azunsun, Gù and certain Tohùn (Togùn are certain national divinities specific to us).

Today We Celebrate the Sacred 45 Day Cycle Called Gbelugan

Today in our sacred calendar we celebrate Gbĕlŭgan. Gbĕlŭ means to overcome an obstacle. “Gan” is something big/great. It is a 45-day ritual cycle done to the deities to target specific familial and community issues. It is designed to bring energies back into alignment on a larger and more collective scale. There are no blood sacrifices for these cycles. Today’s Gbĕlŭgan is especially auspicious because it falls on a Hwezangbe (3rd day of the mundane week on our Afrikan calendar).

Chapter 73 of the sacred Gànhúmehàn is chanted during Gbĕlŭgan. House cleanings are done. Drumming, singing, affirmations and reaffirmation is done, going over one’s personal mission statements, are all part of this important festival.

This is also a specially designed calendar observance with rituals designed to repel and eradicate those acts and persons who are the enemies of Máwùfɛ (Afrika) and Máwùfɛnugbɛtɔ (Afrikan people). This includes all acts that oppress Máwùfɛnugbɛtɔ and all of those who engage in it.

Sótin – The Celebration of a New Afrikan Deity

ߣ߫ߌߛ߫ߎߛ߫ߋߘߍߡߴ ߘߌ ߂߂ߵ ߆߂߆߃ Mɛdésúsínínɔzangbe, Di 22, 6263 (Saturday, July 9, 2022) will mark a very special celebration. This is the celebration of the first New Afrikan deity birthed right here in north amerikkka! It was birthed by the mighty monarchy of ߜ߭ߊ߰ߣߟߐߘߏ߫ Gànlɔdó and it’s name is ߛߏߕߌߣ  Sótin. In our natural world, Sotin is the ancient and sacred oak tree. Sotin is part of the So pantheon of deities. This means he is related to deities that deal with thunder, lightening, rain, justice, royalty, regality, sovereignty, kwk.
Governs – justice related specifically to New Afrikans in the united snakes, royal coronations and celebrations in New Afrika, chieftaincy installations and celebrations in New Afrika, wealth, reparations.
Celebrated – third weekend in the month of Di (our current month according to our calendar)
Foods – black eyed peas and hot peppers, sweet potatoes, cooked collards, moss tea, plums, apples of any color, avocado, coconut, mango, water melon, POT LIQUOR (juice from cooked greens), akara, adiye, grilled foods (turkey, chicken, kwk)
Associations – blue Jays, miss, acorns, lightning, oak trees, lightning striking an oak tree
It is quite important that we take our sovereignty into consideration as we navigate through ancient traditions that are related to our blood. There were deities birthed in  Máwùfɛ (Afrika) that had not existed before. Why can’t WE as New Afrikans do the same? However, keep in mind that there is a proper and sacred process for this to come about. It took us some years at Gànlɔdó to birth this New Afrikan Deity. So this is nothing made up. This is still based on ancient culture, yet brought forward.
