В общем, послезавтра самолет. Давно в моей жизни не было такой спонтанности (ну, мне кажется, по крайней мере)

В голове играет Dagara Project: я делаю шаг, я делаю шаг, не оттолкни меня, прошу

If you're interested in ancestral work, I highly recommend exploring the writings and lectures of Dr. Malidoma Some. He was an author, professor, elder and initiated shaman of the Dagara people in Burkina Faso. He was also queer-inclusive, which I deeply appreciate www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTyu...

Joyeux Lundi! And happy Bastille Day!

It is a stunning winter's morning in Sydney and I'm grateful for the good weather to kickstart the week. We are at the midway point of Winter here in Sydney and well into what the Dharug people of the Eora nation refer to as Dagara.

also anything by Malidoma Patrice Somé (Dagara) ... I've just read "Of Water & Spirit" by him (autobiographical, was incredible.) African Cosmology of the Bântu-Kôngo by Kimbwandènde Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau has also been excellent so far

“Among the Dagara people, gender has very little to do with anatomy. It is purely energetic. In that context, a male who is physically male can vibrate female energy, and vice versa.”
— Malidoma Patrice Somé, Interview with Bert H. Hoff, 1993

African Medicine Wheel: Dagara (Dagaaba) people, Yoruba people, and Bakongo (Kongo) people

Most people know about medicine wheels in the Americas, but they are also part of Siberian religion, and since people from the Americas came from Siberia, that is to be expected.

my favorite and def one of the coolest instruments ive learned is gyil

i had the greatest opportunity to study gyil for a couple years with Benard woma near the end of his life. when he passed in 2018 we had plans for him to make/get someone to make me a gyil. sadly, i haven't played since
bernard woma playing gyil in Ghana Bernard Woma was a virtuoso musician and global ambassador of Dagara music. He began playing the gyil at the age of two. As he grew, so did his regional reputation for his musical abilities. The gyil is the single-row xylophone of the Lobi and Dagara people of Ghana and Burkina Faso gyils usually are made of fourteen wooden slats attached to a frame above resonating calabash gourds

The Gyil (pronounced Jee-lee) is a type of West African xylophone with gourd resonators punctured with holes covered in the silk of spider cocoons.

Perhaps, this instrument holds cultural significance to the Dagara and Lobi peoples.

How beautiful! I just looked this up: "Dagara is the cold season, associated with the arrival of the garad (black cockatoo), which signals the coming of rain. This season typically falls around July-August." Imagine if colonial Australia were this attuned to all the seasonal patterns of Country.

How about thinking of gender as Energy - like the Dagara people

Another metaphor: Gender as Energy, with a quote from Malidoma Somé (he/him), a member of the Dagara Tribe of Burkina Faso, in a 1993 interview, "Among the Dagara people, gender has very little to do with anatomy. It is purely energetic. In that context, a male who is physically male can vibrate female energy, and vice versa. That is where the real gender is. Anatomic differences are simply there to determine who contributes what for the continuity of the tribe. It does not mean, necessarily, that there is a kind of line that divides people on that basis."

I'm honestly kind of proud of this snippet I wrote up this morning. I ended up leaning on the fat ambassador trope but I'm kind of proud of the twist I gave it. Rather than a sign of pure gluttony or indulgence I made it a sign that this guy was good at his job.
Very little showed through that dark face and shrewd pair of eyes. Dagara was a good ambassador. He’d arranged multiple deals across multiple Atlean headchiefs and he’d gotten that belly he was so proud of by negotiating deals such that it was rare for any of his nomadic nation to go hungry. But Amudan could read genuine concern on the man’s face.

Yes like you I don’t ascribe to any belief system, I just sort of listen for what resonates and self-identify on very broad terms (i.e. animist, but not any specific type of animist, of that makes sense). I haven’t explored those cultures yet, so far just Dagara (Africa) & a bit from a few NA

In other news, not at all related to anything else I spend a lot of time talking about(/s) this highlighted bit is still one of my favorite bits of character interaction I've ever written.
Very little showed through that dark face and shrewd pair of eyes. And it was at that moment Amudan was reminded of the simple fact that Dagara was a very good ambassador. He’d arranged multiple deals across multiple Atlean headchiefs such that it was rare for any of his nomadic nation to go hungry. It was why no one begrudged him that belly he was so proud of! Yet through that mask of savvy Amudan could still read genuine concern. “Just that you should be careful and keep your wits about you. You’re a scholar but you’re also a chief now. Your role is as much playing politics as it is holding knowledge. I’m sorry to say politics isn’t a game that favors the young.” “How can you spin riddles after three bowls of wine?” “There’s a lot of me for it to work through before it gets to making my head all fuzzy! And I’m not being cryptic youngster. Merely stating facts! Politics is all about relationships and frankly, older folks have had more time to make them. And learn how to work them. Be careful about letting folks trip you like I just did there by the way.” The last 4 lines are highlighted for emphasis.

Drawing from Dagara wisdom, Somé believed that initiation helps reconnect us with soul, spirit, ancestors, nature, and purpose—something he felt was often missing from modern Western life.

The preservation of this traditional stringed guitar represents a major cultural issue. In Loto, a village located some five kilometers from Diébougou, in the province of [...]
