This week Bamzi sits down with Mildred Awino for a conversation about African spirituality, divination, ancestors, and the journey of remembering what was once deeply rooted in our cultures and communities.Together, they explore the role of the diviner as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, and how ancestral wisdom can be accessed through practices of divination using traditional tools such as cowrie shells, bones, and other sacred objects.The conversation also examines how African spirituality was eroded and demonized through colonialism and the spread of Western religion, leading many generations to disconnect from traditional practices, ancestral knowledge, nature, and the land. They reflect on how this experience has differed across parts of Africa, and why some communities were able to preserve elements of their spiritual traditions alongside Christianity and other religions.Bamzi and Mildred explore what it can mean to reconnect with the elements, the land, the ocean, forests, mountains, ancestors, and the unseen world and how practices such as divination, astrology, tarot, and other forms of spiritual inquiry can become gateways to deeper self-knowledge and connection.#africanspirituality #africandivination #ancestralwisdom #ancestralhealing #ancestors #ancestralconnection #indigenouswisdom #ancestralpractices #africanancestry #spiritualawakening #spirituality #divination #intuition #consciousness#theartofbeingIf this episode resonates, we would love to hear from you.
