ABOUT
While this online platform is helpful in many ways, and so very important during the initiatory
and transitional times that we are going through...it is my vision that one day we will be able to
gather together in person to share, to drum and dance, and create the elemental radical rituals
together….to experience the power of this Medicine in the midst of community.
Question:
What is this Course about?
This is the first of many courses that will be available for you.
This course is the foundation for all the rest of them.
It is the beginning.
To walk this path is to apply this Indigenous Medicine in a practical and palpable way.
The first step is to have a basic working knowledge and understanding of each of the Elementals.
It is important to not only be aware of Elemental Medicine as a mental construct, but to merge
with, and APPLY this Medicine in such a manner as to influence every aspect of your life in a
beneficial way.
We ARE made up of the elements and it is our birthright to have a connection with and access to
the elemental powers and frequencies that are available to us at all times.
The elements are living beings that we can connect with and utilize in a practical day to day way
for support, strength and healing.
We are never alone in this way.
To connect with the element and apply the elemental medicine in a “crisis” only manner is
disrespectful - not only to the individual but to the Ancestors, the Medicine itself, and all of the
Elementals who are always here to support us in every way possible.
This First Online Course from Dagara Elder Malidoma Somé:
Echoes of the Ancestors: Dagara Cosmology
Indigenous African Spirit TechnologyThe Power, Medicine, and Indigenous Technology of the Five Elements
contains 6 modules: this introductory module and 5 additional modules.
In this first course, we begin with the basic building blocks of Indigenous African Spirit
Technology.
We begin by discussing, in detail, the medicine of each individual Elemental Spirit.
Down the road, we will move into other courses which will explore the interconnection of these
elements and the limitless application of medicine and rituals that can be created with the same~~
2
for a limitless number of day to day issues.
ABOUT (continued)
Question:
What is this Course about? (continued)
In Dagara Cosmology the elements are living beings that carry Medicine that support humans.
The elements are already always supporting us; and always have- whether we have been
conscious of this support or not.
In the village, there is no separation between humans and nature, the earth, the water, the
mineral, the Otherworld - (Kontomblé, Genies, Wedamé, Tingan, Tenbalu, Beru, Wadyé) and the
Ancestors.
In the village, if there is an ailment or disharmony on any level (physical, mental, emotional.
psychological, financial, relational, etc.) the solution/remedy and prescription is one that involves
an interaction or ritual with the elemental being(s).
Question:
How can it benefit me, during this time, to know about these 5 elements & connect with them?
1.
An ongoing, conscious relationship & alignment/harmony within one’s system and the elements
will create an experiential balance and flow on all levels (physical, mental, emotional.
psychological, financial, relational, etc.), and provide access to tools of alignment that are easily
accessible and effective.
2.
The palpable connection and conscious relationship with the elements will provide an ongoing
connection with living beings during a time when one may feel alone or quarantined from other
people. This connection, relationship, and Medicine is available 24/7 anywhere in the world.
3.
Developing and deepening one’s relationship with the living elemental beings will provide
healing & harmonizing of body, mind, emotions & deepen one’s connection with Spirit, Ancestors,
and Otherworldly Beings (Kontomblé, Genie, Beru, Tingan, Tenbalu, Wadyeé, Wedameé)
4.
These elemental connections will offer practical guidance with the application of Dagara
Indigenous Technologies and Medicine. As one’s practice deepens, there will be a strengthening of
one’s connection with the Wisdom of the Origin, one’s Signature Frequency, one’s Divine
Blueprint and Siura. Additional ritual prescriptions will be discovered and applied.
