Show Notes
“To be the son of a preacher man was once African American cultural royalty. As traditional churches have grown empty, many of us have been left to wander these haunted castles like that displaced Prince of Denmark, contemplating the paths of our mothers: that electric lady that landed us here in the first place. The Aquarian Age is a matriarchal age, and if we are to exist as men in this new world many of us must learn to embrace and nuture that which is feminine with all of our hearts (he-arts). But is there any room for artistry in hip hop’s decadent man-sion? Have we walked our Timberlands soleless…soul-less? When you pour that wine on the ground in that video shoot that has become your life will you be ready to hear the voice that pours from the bottle to inebriate the very ground on which we walk? It is libations such as these that are the start of every voodoo ceremony. And let us not forget that that is why we have come.” Saul Williams in the liner notes of the Voodoo album

More from A Little Juju Podcast
Let’s really talk about the complexities of venerating and working with “white ancestors” and which people need to be prioritizing it before US. We get into the Black healing tradition of Vick’s Vaporub and how it was actually stolen from a Black woman, and why we should all be paying attention to the Caribbean island of Bonaire, right now.
Esu is not the devil, Black women are the mules of the world, but it doesn’t mean we have no responsibility to address social issues and on top of that, the ginger ale ain’t got no ginger in it!!! Are we good?
I’m not going to lie ya’ll, I’m venting alot because where we are as Black people in this time has me completely shook. We are now asserting that the transatlantic slave trade wasn’t real and claiming we don’t have African ancestry. IS EVERYBODY OK?
