In this clip, Mutabaruka speaks about peoples misunderstanding of voodoo , voodou, voodon, and obeah. Mutabaruka also says freedom fighters like Nyahbingnhi of Uganda, Queen Nanny of the Maroons, Dutty Bookman in Haiti, and Harriet Tubman used African spirituality to defeat their European enemies.

#Voodoo #Obeah
Iâm Haitian and itâs the first time I hear this kind of truth coming out of a Rastafarianâs mouth. Voodoo is only the knowledge of nature and the respect of life. Like everything you could use it the wrong way but itâs not the essence of this philosophy. The Europeans started calling Voodoo and Obeah evil only when we started using it against them. When they asked us to cure them with our knowledge it was Devine.
Our slave Ancestors called on the Ancestors to help them fight for freedom in St. Dominique, present day Haiti, long live all our Ancestors!đ
I am Bahamian and people from both sides of my family practiced Voodoo. I am not going to allow people to tell me the traditions my ancestors created is evil when the religious traditions they want me to adhere to are a set a religious traditions introduced to black people via slavery, murder, rape and colonialism.
@Seek Understanding If u were truly 'seeking understanding" u wouldn't have to ask this question, u try paying the people who enslaved u and see what 'condition u would be in now'...
Africa will never be free until demon worship and voodoo satan worship stop
@@paulellis437 So what has Christianity done for Africa besides making the entire continent slaves to Europe?
As much as black people talk about oppression and appreciation of our history and original cultures, touch on these very subjects discussed here and you will get such outrage as a response!
Funny enough it's just a fad. Believe it or not church people practice Obeah more than anyone else. They just pretend.
Karen- These are hypocrites in the game of life. Outrage due to the spirit that they follow- this tells on the character of the person. Most are very hostile. Still Ancestors has more energy than what they evoke- hence the anger.
'fraid them fraid!
Salute to my Jamaican brothers for opening their eyes to the truth, why were those practices so demonized but they gave us religion as a form of mind control to derail us from our true purpose.
People still practice obeah in Jamaica?
@@Jeremiah8ell yes.
While they were practicing it and still do!
Then he must the first JA man to speak sense on the subjectđ
Omg finally a Caribbean man speaking the truth đđœ as an Obeah woman and proud to declare it⊠My ppl fear their own spiritual practices đ€ŠđŸââïž so baffling
Is it real though?
@@b6pablo it is. Lol though
We lost lost đ€Ł
I'm African American. I was introduced to Christianity at a young age which I never connected with. I started studying Islam which I find more understanding than Christianity in my opinion. I would love to learn about African Spirituality. Where do I start???

What truth did MUTA speak ? Oh he worship his skin like you i get it now.
@@denzilriley9837 go do something productive with your worthless, boring life.
He's been speaking. I use to listen to Muta in the early 90s on a Tuesday night radio program. PEOPLE are finally listening
Remember your roots " A tree cannot be a tree without its roots" to deny your culture and traditions is denying an aspect of self...
Witchcraft is not roots, god is roots, men only started worshipping spirits because they're rebellious
People need to reprogram themselves omg Teach brother Teach cant stop loving my people
When I feel myself drifting off the centre I remember my african ancestors and try and find that strength, listening to Patois / African people speaking or singing. I feel close to I N I self
You cannot run away from the truth. Let's accept who we are so we can reach our full potential. People it's simple, do a research of when we were Great! What's are the things we use to do? đ€
The Real- fine like time of Ramasess the Great- as elements understood us- so we lived. And the invasion of assyrians and babylonian combined with greek brings in cleopetra crew- ptolmy dynasty-that is when we fled egypt as they forced us to worship their gods. And the romans - was the flee out. Snce then we fine but got to accept our ancestors from sirius b- is ours and stop evoke others. simple- yes?
Lamdma?M
Obeah is the same as Obehye in Akan (Twi) language, which means Spirit or wizard, you can use the Obehye for the negative or the postive thing
facts its practiced in Suriname to đžđ·
Wow. I didn't think I would hear a conversation like this happening in JA. I gave up Christianity in my mid 20's. I have been turning inward, meditating, and aligning myself with the universe. I wasn't getting anything out of going to church so I stopped going. Once you start questioning religion, you are mostly likely going to give it up. Christianity is a polytheistic religion. Three in one? Come on. They use it to keep people in check and content in poverty and suffering. I wish more Jamaican people (more black people) would open their eyes and realize the limits that have been placed on them because of religion. You don't need religion to have morals, morals were before religions were created by man or else we would not have survived this long as a species. Colonization really have done and number on us. Never settle for "that's just how it is." Question everything.
Me seh.. it ago snow a florida cause all now mi shock. Big up rasta fi real. No ignorance pure knowledge
So TRUE!!! I gave up christianity after 23 years. Church is a scam and business. I have regained my spirituality

Say it again!
Assalamualaikum Beloved Family.
Try practicing Islamic personal hygiene for a week and let me know what u learned.
It's so awesome to read the supportive comments .This shows the intellect and logical thinkers in the comment section.Big up yourselves!
Yo, this was on my mind just yesterday. Black Magic is our magic.
@James Anderson The african power is knowing himself. Not magic.
@M Bailey we need to free ourselves from ignorance. Magic never free hati. We know the problem but we dont want to face it. Too much corruption. There needs to be a change of thinking. Talk bout magic!!
Yes Iâm a devotee/Student of Ifa
Until we give up the oppressors demonic religion, we continue to be cursed.
It hurt me to see how white influences damage our whole mental status. We have no real grasp on our true culture. Every evidence we had was either destroyed or changed to seem evil. Example âWITCH DOCTORâ most if not all the time is depicted as a wicked savage. And WE absorb that and think itâs true.
Glad this was addressed..tunin in frm New Orleans,la U.S...Voudun was paased dwn in our đł
This is why We talk with slang, we donât speak English to express we self we talk uno Akan, Wolof and Twi, with a hint of Igbo.
Africa homeland!
@M Bailey I mean us in the UK donât speak the straight English, being black, unless weâre in a certain situation but we emphasis it with Patwa and Slang. I know what me ah talk bout mate. Ez
Patois is a mix of European African and Asian. Mi is a Spanish term. Pickney is from an Indian language meaning child.
@@hainleysimpson1507 pickney is Portuguese bro
@M Bailey The Nigerian Pidgin English and pretty much, a lot of English Creole of any group of black people around the world, always share so many similar words. Jamaicans say Unu and in Igbo language, it means same thing, "You People. In Nigerian Pidgin and a number of other African Creole, it's "Una"
Africa Is The Homeland For All Mankind â€ïžđđâđż

Know seh from mi a bwoy till now me get that nickname tacky of the maroon
And let's not forget Charles Deslondes of Haiti who led the largest slave revolt in US history outside of New Orleans. 500+ enslaved ancestors along with Louisiana Maroons and Native Americans.
Maroon communities existed throughout the western hemisphere in nearly all countries with enslaved populations.
PREACH it again and again. Our people need to wake up!!!
â And if Obeah wonât do, we may have to do a little Juju â- Mutabaruka. Muta always defended Obeah and Vodou as African traditions. Respect to him.
As a white spanish 22 year old woman, always very connected to esoterism and magic because of my Mother and different cultures, i absolutely love and respect this cult or whoever you want to say it.
A very special, true and unique form of seeing the reality of the world.
Lots of love human pure brothers and sisters â€ïž
Exactly, we must overcome this barrier and embrace ALL and learn from each other, once we do that..IMO thats when we unlock the True form of Spiritualism..ALL IS 1, 1 IS ALL.... I grew up in a Hoodoo household, learning about animals,nature..spells..libations etc..Im from New Orleans,Louisiana
Obeah come from the Igbo (đłđŹ) word for priest or priestess / shaman 'Dibia'
Also 'unu' is Igbo word for 'you all'
Shine bright
I'm luo in Kenya we say UN for "you all" too
I heard Obeah comes from the Twi(đŹđ). But big up my đłđŹ ancestors.
Lies
@@thebeast4297 ..the problem is you still looking at colonized names Ghana and nigeria.. They were kingdoms that would often spread to those territories
Obeah is Ashanti Obehye that mean spirit
Keep teaching brother Mutabaruka! I got my ancestry done so I'm WEST AFRICAN (not so-called "Black") and PROUD!
Hello brother
He(from Ethiopia) tells me that raw meat was a war-time invention in Ethiopia - or perhaps ânecessityâ is a better word, given that troops that cooked their meats were sniffed out by the enemy and slaughtered in their sleep. Ballentine said the troops finally learned it was the smell of roasting meats, and the smoke from their fires, that gave them away. Raw meat, then, was an act of self-preservation.
Interesting
@@ESFDragxnFistEntertainmentright she need to stay her curios ass in her own lane.
Good to see an elder still open to change of perspective thatâs Important we are not yet done, people think they have this world figured out when in truth we donât have a clue but thanks for touching on this part about nyabingi and the inequality of man and woman in rastafari and the Christian doctrin they support this should be an eye opener for some
Peace and prosperity to us all. Muta must be reading my mind. I feel the same ways towards our way of science. That's original alchemy. That's how earlier people studied about the energy of the earth and the universal power aka god forces. But don't use the energies for negativity or for causing harmfulness. More Power to Us all. Blessings. Teach and learn from life. Push Love and Pull Love.
the older man is absolutely correct about the keys on the piano!! i grew up in the baptist church in america & i played the piano in my younger dys. most of the notes i learned to play was indeed on the black keys!!!
Educate Muta as a kid in Guyana they had the Jordanites who never use to eat meat nd they wore white from head to toe nd we use to call dem spiritual people they knew all the traditions of Africa like cleaning your house wth herbs md incense baths wth herbs healing certain ailments with herbs nd now I am older I realized they were the orijahnal Rasta
Itâs true my fellow guyanese
I wonder if we know each other. Parents is Esther and Stanley
@@anitasimeon9000 I'm not Guyanese, but I study names, if u haven't already, do research on ur last name, Simeon.
I've been imploring the virtues of Afrikan spirituality and voodou/obeah from time now, much to the vilification of my Caribbean brothers and sisters, but the saddest part about this is that, my Afrikan brothers and sisters in the motherland are now at the forefront of denouncing OUR natural spirituality in favour of indoctrinated faiths brought about via trade, slavery, re-imported migration and colonisation. We're in free fall to oblivion as a race of people.
Respect to my great warrior, the queen mother of Ejisu, Nana Yaa Asantewaa of the Ashanti kingdom in Ghana who stood for Golden stool not to be taken away by the whites.
Muta anytime you open your mouth whatever comes out makes a lot of sense to me..and i personally learn a whole lot from u over the years.......you are a fine example of what teaching is about ....u talk a lot about Marcus Garvey and other great but your work and your manifestation shows that you are as great as any of those figures you are not an ordinary man you're a powerful man not a toy even in your appearance u stand out like a lion and a lion is not something to play with.......please continue your job..you are here for a special purpose to open the eye and the ears and the consciousness of the mind of people across the globe especially Africans that scattered abroad..nuff strength and nuff life muta
I couldn't agree more.
We can't identify our prophets â€â€â€
Muta, one mos conscious black man alive! BIGUP RASTA!
A real talk Muta!
Spiritual connection you have to have!
It's beautiful too hear a Black man speaking so forcefully and with knowledge, internationally a true pan-African he addresses black people issues globally because you can't deal with this problem locally, white supremacy is worldwide therefore you must unite to fight against it!!!...remember it was in Berlin when they curved up Africa.
People don't know how the masculine and feminine energies corporate. It's my belief that the masculine energy is revealed in the physical strength while the feminine energy which is spiritual is more high in the spiritual energy strength. In other words Man is physically stronger than woman in the material world while in the spiritual world the woman is spiritually stronger than the man's spirituality, she pull her energy from the universe energy. That is why I even saw the so-called King of Israel went to a female medium for guidance into the spiritual realm. Both energies complement each other's in the natural world they're both equal.
@Nicolas B. Henry true ...souls, spirits have no gender or race.. only purposes and actions to be filled.. they use our vessels for that but what he saying is true.. that's why most women be naturally "Delusional" to the world of things we think with our minds and logic in this physical world...
My Bahamian ancestors practiced Obeah too I wanna learn more about it
I thought I was the only one who thought this. Obeah is what our ancestors used to fight back but is demonized by a large of their African descendants. Our four parents come from west Africa and I donât see whatâs wrong with learning and utilizing Obeah, vodun, Voodoo, or hoodoo. Those are traditions and spiritualities that canât just be forgotten by us as African descendants. Iâm an American born to Jamaican parents, my mother is from st. Katherine and my father is from west Moreland. I want to learn what Obeah is and see how it can benefit me spiritually. My family is Christian but something felt strange about it because thatâs not black peoples actually spirituality.
You are an Aboriginal American to Jamaican you are not from Africa our ancestors are not African thatâs a lie all black people not from aftica
@@Jeremiah8ell wtf are you talking about, black people in the west are mainly of west African descent. What the heck is wrong with the descendants of those people wanting to know their spirituality. What do you mean aboriginal? Foh.
Yes thank you for big up Yoruba, Congo West African here.
Thanks to my good ancestors Ase I needed this
This is a wonderful interview, helping us turn back generations of damage to our self image.
Yes fada muta, teach the Bible Ras dem. Voodum and obayi wi seh African spirituality
happy Muta called Rastas that chant down Obiah, jokers. If it wasnt for Obia and Vodun we would still be in chains, The spelling is important. iah is the title of Tehuti
@Abhad Niegero haha, pure blasphemy youre ignorant, and the fact that you think your so wise is why god wont show you

For long years, Rastafari has been dread against the use of magic (âObeahâ,âVoodoo) practice and yet tends to use a certain modality/way of being that clearly draws from a transcendental (or âmagicalâ) view of reality.
For example, the deliberate corruption of the Queens English (identifying and altering the âspellsâ or energy of negative intention embedded in English words) with a view towards a metaphyics of language (âword, sound, and powahâ), and the niyabinghi âgrounationâ ceremony involving a heart-beat âfundeâ drum and the kette âpeatahâ, which symbolizes thunder claps, meant to strike at the weak heart oppressors and their establishments, are referenced by the phenomenological concept of psychic transmutation and animism. The idea of a âreincarnated (or more properly, a divine cyclical essence) Jesusâ which is personified in the Emperor, then modeled through the housing of the Emperorâs presence (the âwisemind, knowledge, and overstandingâ), in the âIritsâ of the Rastafari people. This is committed/enhanced through the use of cannabis to receive âlevelâ, meditative states of consciousness by receiving His Majesty through infusion with the herb (similar to the concept of the eucharist, transforming the bread wafer into the âBody of Christâ transcendent substance of âHoly Spiritâ as third aspect of the Christian Trinitarian God). This is aptly referenced in remote academic circles as transpersonal phenomena (specifically âarchetypal resonance theoryâ). Thereâs also the emphasis on ascetic cleanliness including âital livityâ or pure, non-animal diet. This ascetic includes a âearth consciousness" ascetic which relates to harmonious relationship between humanity, the planet, and the universe. And of course âDreadlocksâ which are seen as psychic antennae; all of these modalities which typify the Rastafari essence of being are able to be examined through the increasing understandings/correlations coming from meta-phenomenological research and thus, now give confirmation to a viable, comprehensive ascetic and enlightened âlivityâ (way of life) of âJah Childrenâ.
Looking at the comments, I see a shift in mentality - more acceptance of metaphysics.
Spread..them seed!
..of the REAL!
Please I don't understand what he was saying is black magic good or bad using nature to cast spell I want to understand this please
@@queeneko2797 Everything boils down first to a persons intentions, which translate in a metaphysical sense to waveforms or VIBRATION. But I think it is good to think about all life with true humility. With humility - TRUE humility - no one would ever think to cast a "spell" on a next person. To do so in my opinion is presumptuous, considering our general lack of deeper truths about what we are as humans. Manipulating nature for such a purpose is usually too much temptation for frail human egos that become easily over-inflated. Hope that answered your question.
đ€âđż theses are the conversations our people need to hear!
RASTAFARI!! How great it is to hear muta speak out loud about our spiritual cultural heritage wich rastas has so long ignored and disrespected..back in d day it was like we nah deal with obeaman but follow all religious nonsense n fairytales frm bible n quoran..how can we call ourselfs african or rasta if that spuritual part is not acknolidged by ourselfs yet d misguided fairy tales in bible an quoran ar being believed,followed an defended wth our own ignorance..
All Praise to my Ancestors đđŸ
Finally the truth is been spoken. I am an outcast because I donât buy into their bullshit. I am all about my ancestors and their spiritual way.

@@rorymarcel228 same I dont know where to look even JA look down upon obeah.... it my original practice in which I cant learn
Dawg that's the reason why black people got put into slavery in the first place because of obeah, voodoo, witchcraft, sorcery , because our ancestors wanted to worship other Gods and practice divination. Just look at Haiti they practice voodoo all the time and look at there county and what does it reflect? Just because that was a practice before doesn't mean it was good for us that's why God used the white man as a sword against us because of the evil we was doing don't listen to this fool probably smoked to much weed and speaking nonsense

Teach muta the masses need to wake up
I rate Mutabaruka for this one. A Rastafarian speaking respectfully about Obeah and Vodou is a milestone. Many Rastas usually speak against African Spirituality not overstanding that it comes from the Ancestors. I do remember reading Ras Miguel Lorne the lawyer also said he recognized Obeah as an African spiritual practice. Muta is putting the knowledge out there. And some youth are listening too.
Yes rasta preach to ppl dem stop call fi wi bredda and sista dem evil fi deh practice di original spirituality
All of us have voodoo and obeah internally but the Bible teach us to hold our Peace and not to used Voodoo against ourselves. WE MUST NOT USED MAGIC SPELLS AGAINST EACH OTHER THIS IS A PURE AND CLEAN HEART

This is so awesome! Iâve been reading Gerald Huassâs âRastafarians the children of Solomonâ and I just read a part where the author talks about an interaction with an obeah man
I had a dream that someone was telling me the sole of the feet and the soul of the earth is one. Almost saying to always have a time to touch the earth with my feel. Very interesting dream (twice). Also one time It was Africa I was and it was said by a "tree man' Something like a big ancient tree but its person-like, almost the character of someone the tree was. This caused me to remember it. I get many dreams of being in Africa and a tree speaking to me. Sometimes I ponder them.
Yow ...a like to listen to mutta, because he come with some factual information and things.....
Haile Selassie was a Christian, and worshiped Jesus! At a conference in 1966 in Berlin titled âOne Gospel, One Race, One Task,â Haile Selassie opened the event with these words: âThe love shown by our God to mankind should constrain all of us who are followers and disciples of Christ, to do all in our power to see to it that the message of salvation is carried to those of our fellows for whom Christ our Savior was sacrificed but who have not had the benefit of hearing the good news.â
Take for example the words of Jesus in John 10:30, âI and the Father are one.â We need only to look at the Jewsâ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: âYou, a mere man, â (John 10:33, emphasis added). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming-deity. When Jesus declared, âI and the Father are one,â He was saying that He and the Father are of one nature and essence. John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, âI tell you the truth ⊠before Abraham was born, I am!â This is a reference back to Exodus 3:14 when God revealed Himself as the âI AM.â The Jews who heard this statement responded by taking up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded (Leviticus 24:16).
John reiterates the concept of Jesusâ deity: âThe Word [Jesus] was Godâ and âthe Word became fleshâ (John 1:1, 14). These verses clearly indicate that Jesus is God in the flesh. Acts 20:28 tells us, âBe shepherds of the church of God, which He bought with His own blood.â Who bought the church with His own blood? Jesus Christ. And this same verse declares that God purchased His church with His own blood. Therefore, Jesus is God.
Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, âMy Lord and my Godâ (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ (see also 2 Peter 1:1). In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares of Jesus, âBut about the Son He says, âYour throne, O God, will last forever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.ââ The Father refers to Jesus as God, indicating that Jesus is indeed God.
In Revelation, an angel instructed the apostle John to only worship God (Revelation 19:10). Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9, 17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation did.
The most important reason that Jesus must be God is that, if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). A created being, which Jesus would be if He were not God, could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite penalty. Only God could take on the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21), die, and be resurrected, proving His victory over sin and death.
Is Jesus God? Yes. Jesus declared Himself to be God. His followers believed Him to be God. The provision of salvation only works if Jesus is God. Jesus is God incarnate, the eternal Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1:8; 22:13), and God our Savior (2 Peter 1:1).
I totally agree
Anything to do with celebrating black culture is treated with disdain and suspicion.
