More Black Americans turning to spirituality and African traditions

Demographically, Black Americans are the most religious group in the country. Churches and mosques are at the center of political movements and a source for healing and justice. However, research shows a growing number of Black Americans are turning away from organized religion, and many are now embracing spirituality and African traditions. Yvette Wyatt is the owner of Motown Witch. She opened a shop with the same name on Detroit's west side six years ago, selling items like candles and herbs that aid in metaphysical work and traditional African religion and spiritual practices. Wyatt said in the past two years, the business has skyrocketed.ioioio

As an ultra-orthodox practitioner of Seereer spirituality (A fat Roog), one of the African spiritual beliefs, I have never met any African tradition that describe their priestly class as "witches". That's a horrible name to refer to herself.

Tragically, our ancestors went down this road..thinking they escape their captivity..not understand they are under a debt- bondage 1000 years...

🤣 "Motown witch."
"a person (especially a woman) who is credited with having usually malignant supernatural powers"
2. "a practitioner of witchcraft especially in adherence with a neo-pagan tradition or religion (such as Wicca).
Usually burned at the stake by local villagers.

So sad

[@nonchalantpapije]

Screw you, Africans are now recognizing their true faith something our ancestors practiced under the sun for thousands of years
Which was perilously stolen from us by the same people who were living in caves for the same period of time
I say may all African of color retain their image and beliefs🧿🪬
