In Native American culture

In Native American culture

, colors have special significance.
Red is the color of war, violence.
Black, an inauspicious color (for most cultures) represents the "living" and is worn on the face during war.
White is the color of peace.
Green, when worn under the eyes, empowers the individual with a night vision.
Yellow is the most adverse color, representing death (the color of "old bones") and when a person is mourning. Also, yellow means a person has lived their life and will fight to the finish. Native tribes maintain their own culture and unique way of face painting.

Medieval Torture for the unfaithful,

Image
Medieval Torture for the unfaithful, here is but just seven of them which if you were unfaithful or a criminal or even just a wroungun you may have received a very sore end on some of these devices  1. Flaying is a method of slow and painful torture and/or execution in which skin is removed from the body. Generally, an attempt is made to keep the removed portion of skin intact 2.The Heretic's fork was a small metal device with two opposed bi-pronged forks attached to a belt. One sharp end was placed against the victim’s throat and the other against their sternum. The victim was forced to hold their head up; if they dropped it, the prongs would pierce their neck and chest. 3. Rat torture was a method used in medieval times. It involved putting a pot of hungry rats into a cage that was strapped to the victim's stomach.

10 REASONS NOT TO DATE AN OLDER WOMAN.

Image
10 REASONS NOT TO DATE AN OLDER WOMAN. 1. SHE IS DISRESPECTFUL An older woman won't respect you because she sees you as her junior or a boy not mature enough to guide her. She is probably funding your lifestyle and this makes her disrespect you even more.  2. SHE IS ANGRY Since she is older, she will not plug into your masculine energy. This leaves her empty, deprived and frustrated. What follows is a series of drama and chaos including alcoholism. She hates her life, she is angry at herself and therefore she will project this anger towards you.  3. SHE IS REBELLIOUS An older woman believes she is more mature and experienced than you in the marriage. She will openly refuse your instructions and order. She will ridicule your actions and defy you both in public and private. 4. SHE IS MANIPULATIVE An older woman will manipulate you for her own egocentric needs. She will trick you to make wrong decisions that fulfil her temporary desires then when things backfire she will blame yo...

Why Onitsha Has No Omu

Image
Women in Igbo History: Omu Nwagboka (A Case Study) Why Onitsha Has No Omu In Western Igbo culture, the belief in the duality of masculine and feminine roles is embodied in the institution of the Omu (Queen Mother). The Omu is the female counterpart to the Obi in Western Igbo (Anioma) society. Omu Nwagboka served as the Omu of Onitsha from 1884 to 1890. She hailed from Ogbotu, in the Ogbendida village of the Umuezearoli lineage. Her appointment as Omu occurred during the reign of His Majesty, Obi Anazonwu. As Omu, Nwagboka led the women's ivory society known as Otu Ọdụ, a prestigious group of titled women permitted to carry elephant ivory, a privilege typically reserved for men in the Ọzọ society. She also headed the women's guild called Otu Ogene. The Omu wielded significant power in the town, controlling commercial activities, managing markets, regulating prices, and determining which foreign traders could operate in the markets. She was responsible for servicing market shrine...

The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud.

Image
The way Geologists determine the difference between Clay/Mud, Silt, Sand, Pebbles and Boulders is based on the size of the Grains, this is because its all different stages of the same stuff being broken down. Petrified Cedar is chemically the same as Silica/Sand, Petrified Red Cedar Tree Sap is chemically the same as Quartz. There are companies that make sand from petrified wood (think of how much sand is in the world and where it all came from) this information is not based in theory but observable testable reality. Before the birth of the world we inhabit today, long before the fabricated 'recorded' history we've been fed was written, the entire Earth/Realm was a thriving Jungle, These Giant Trees Provided a canopy that would have covered the entire sky. The difference in size from an Ant to a Human is the scale between the Ancient Giant Trees and the Trees we have today. You need to throw all of the mainstream science supporting fake history in the bin, it's all bou...

the Chippewa Flowage.

Image
Every year, dozens of local boat owners in Wisconsin band together to move a giant floating island on Lake Chippewa, also known as the Chippewa Flowage. This floating island, known as the "Forty Acre Bog," is composed of peat, plant roots, mud, and even mature trees. These trees act as sails, catching the wind and moving the island around the lake. When the bog drifts and blocks a crucial bridge connecting the east and west sides of the lake, it requires a community effort to push it back into position using their boats. The floating bogs formed over time as peat bogs from the lake's swampy bottom rose to the surface, creating a habitat rich in biodiversity. Moving the bog is a complex task that relies on favorable wind conditions, and it often requires multiple attempts to place it correctly, or it will drift back within days. This annual task, while challenging, highlights the community's dedication to preserving the natural environment and maintaining access across...

As a WOMAN, once you PLACE your VALUE on MONEY

Image
As a WOMAN, once you PLACE your VALUE on MONEY, there are THOUSANDS of MEN who are willing and ready to PAY the HIGH PRICE just to make you USELESS and WORTHLESS, by so doing, your VALUE/INTEGRITY is TARNISHED and VALUELESS.. Many MEN will come just for what you have as an ENJOYMENT and they will give you whatever you want just to have it. A lot of DESTINIES have been DESTROYED as a result of this. Many WOMBS have been DESTROYED.. Many GREAT STARS have been taken away.. Listen, if as a WOMAN, you SLEEP with any MAN you want, it's not because you are of HIGH VALUE, it's because you are EASY.. A WOMAN'S VALUE LIES in her BODY. If you think by SLEEPING with a lot of UNWORTHY MEN, your VALUE will INCREASE, TIME will prove you WRONG.  DEAR SISTERS please RESPECT yourselves. Truth is most THINGS you OPEN your LEGS for are very CHEAP and AFFORDABLE if you have a JOB, a SKILL or a TRADE.  In addendum: These WOMEN are not SLEEPING with themselves. I see no difference between a WOMA...

The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship

Image
The Vasa, a heavily armed Swedish warship , sank in 1628 AD, less than a mile into its maiden voyage due to design flaws. Its top-heavy structure, burdened by 64 bronze cannons, coupled with insufficient ballast, made it unstable and led to its quick demise. After spending 333 years on the sea floor, it was recovered in 1961 in nearly perfect condition. Now displayed at the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, it is celebrated as the best-preserved ship from the 17th century. The cold, brackish waters of the Baltic Sea played a crucial role in preserving the Vasa and its artifacts, making its recovery and ongoing conservation a significant achievement in marine archaeology.

THE RISE OF ISLAMISM AND 'ARABISM' IN AFRICA (a revolution, birthed in bloodshed and slavery) "Damn this world! Damn this time! Damn this fate! Where are your valiant warriors and priests? Where are your hunting parties and your feasts? Where is that war-like spirit? And where are those great armies that destroyed our country's foes? Count Iran as a ruin, as a lair of lions and leopards... Look now and despair." -Persian poet, Fedussi(transl: A. Sese, 2019) These words of lament were written in what is today Iran, when the Arabs forces and turks marched on Constantinople, a capital city of  Byzantium (eastern Roman empire that remained when Rome was destroyed by European barbarian tribes of the Goths and Lombards). Constantinople was in what is today Turkey, the birth place of Christendom in 325 CE, that was to be eclipsed by the forces of Islamism and Mohammedanism, beginning from 674 CE... and the famous church in that city, the Haggia Sophia, is today a mosque....

People called Mary McLeod Bethune "The First Lady of The Struggle. " The struggle being improving life for African Americans. Born in 1875 in a small cabin close to Mayesville, South Carolina, Mary was the fifteenth of seventeen children of parents who had been enslaved. From a young age, Mary was inspired to learn. With encouragement from her parents, she'd walk five miles a day to attend the mission school nearby. The experience set a foundation for her life. "The whole world opened to me when I learned to read," Mary would say. For Mary, her love for learning evolved into a profession of teaching. And after some years of being a teacher, Mary opened the Daytona Literary and Industrial Training Institute for Negro Girls in 1904. The initial class of six students learned from a curriculum that began at 5:30am with Bible study and continued throughout the day with a focus on self-sufficiency skills development until the school day ended at 9pm. And with sparse f...
