Yes, as Blk American, I identify with Big Mama. My great grandma and grandma were Southern Women who sat on their porch. They raised all children of the community, was a healer, prayer warriors, and the backbone of the community. My mom and grandma called my Great Grandma "Mama." I respect the diaspora, but we have our own cultural spirit guides here.
wow my Great Grand mother also was called Mama by Everybody in our community I mean everybody men childeren whyt people women strangers all called her Mama without her demanding it that was just her God given name I thought
Yep! I'm Black American and grew up in the south (VA); we called our Grama "Big mama", up until she died 5 years ago. The generations before me called the great grandmothers "Big mama". Big Mamas definitely come with a certain southern wisdom ✨
your cultural spirit guides are not that much different to everybody else's in the diaspora only difference is you brag about it all the time n the rest of us don't.....
This episode is so educational. Breaking down each Spirit, reflecting on who can work with them, and just stating facts! The clarity in this story is going to help so many. Great job.
Fantastic!! I work with “La Madama” and have a few different ones in my court, however I always knew “Mammy” was different. For one thing, typical La Madama statues show her with a basket on her head. This was something used mostly in the Caribbean NOT in the old American South. Also most La Madama statues include her wearing rosaries because La Madama come from Latin Countries that were Catholic. Mammi of the South never wore that as she was Protestant. Even though the various colors of La Madama dresses have to do with Orisha she may have served, the bright colors of her clothes are seen mostly in the Caribbean and Latin countries. The Old South clothing was darker and more subdued . This video is ground breaking! Not just for La Madama sake, but it should put attention to the idea that WE have our OWN Ancestral Spirits right here in North America! We have Harriett Tubman, High John, Gullah Jack, Marie Laveau, Railroad Bill and so many others! We need to start bringing forth their Spirits because they reflect our experience here in North America. Thank you once again PaPa Seer for your in depth and insightful work! Welcome back and keep it coming!
The colors were darker but still vivid. Dyes that could be made from the available natural materials surrounding them were utilized. This included indigo (grown in places like SC) , dark greens, and reds from clay (found in the soil). There was also trade.
Madamas vary from person to person depending on each one’s spiritual quadrant. Not all madamas were slaves. Some of them were free and had their own businesses. And the reason they were given the prestigious name of madamas was because they did charity for the less fortunate. They were very powerful politically as well.
@ their presence in Latin Caribbean espiritismo is very deep and they are considered highly elevated spirits with strong powers. Madamas were people of intense personal constitutions. They came from various nations of African magic and belief systems and they knew how heal or mess things up real good. In the old days when I was a kid the old heads that would still have hardcore spiritual mass loved it when madamas showed up. These things were an event. If you ever have your own madama present herself to you in dreams she will let you know her name and show you what her life was like so that you know how to service and petition her. People do not play about their own madamas and keep names and other details to themselves. Again there’s very deep stuff that goes along with this.
@papaseer, this is the 1st time I have come across channel. The spirit of Mammy has led me here. I'm a young elder of 65, but we must truly thank you, and we appreciate your intuitive gifts, and knowledge of divinity. We love your clear explanation for your extraordinary gifts from the cosmos for overstanding who are spirit guides are and who's relatable to us. Many continued blessings, to you for love, peace, light, good health, wealth, growing, and balance ✨️ 1love, Mammy
Gen X!! So very well done, thank you. From my Great Native Am. "Na'nae" to my "Ma'Sweet" Mi Creole G-G Ma, my Afro Am. "Maw" to my "Ma'deah". Oh, thank you! I thoroughly appreciate your wisdom.
GenXer here! Ya did a great job. I loved this one. I would like to point out something I realized while u were talking about aesthetics etc and Sally. Sometimes the house workers were those children of the master....and sometimes the nurse maids were kin to the main female-as in her sister. Also my family started buying as much of those cast iron and dark skinned images as they could find....I was triggered but am learning why it was so important to them. This is a great podcast. Keep up the good work young man. Peace
Recently I’ve been thinking more about Big Mama with the passing of my own grandmother. I really resonate most with calling her Muh’Dear/Mother Dear/Ma’Dea. I’m a country southern black from New Orleans
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing always pouring new knowledge into us! I learned so much from the first spiritism class I can’t wait for the Shamanic Spiritism class coming up 🙌🏾
I really enjoyed this video❤ During my childhood I adored spending time with my Aunt Dorothy aka Dot to Dot❤ She was my surrogate grandmother who gave wisdom, recipes, threats of whopping and stories about her past experiences in life.She often gave my parents parental counseling 😅 I truly believe that my Grandmothers in heaven sent her to help my parents raise my brother and I ❤
I have chills!!!!! I'm a tarot reader and energetic healer. I have never heard the name Mammy except growing up. My little sister used to call me Mammy.. I'm the oldest and always had to babysit, cook, clean, etc since I was 7 years old.
My great grandmom and grandmom were from virgina i called my great grandmom bigmom and called my gramdmom memom or nana❤ this message hit diffrent they both are deceased now but there still here with me in spirt🙏🏾love them to death to this day and miss them so much great leaders in the family full of knowlage and wise old souls full of gifts from the divine some gifts were left behind for me to carry to guide me threw life to help me be better and protect me threw times of attact of the enemy i was always gifted and have forsight and i am a healer my hands and heart set me apart my gifts are from my loveones pasted down and from god thruth seeker and thruth speaker
I would argue La Madama was present in North America; the Spanish colonies. Florida did not become a territory until nearly 50 years before emancipation, Spain still controlled the land. So of course, them black folks were Catholics, spoke Spanish, had Hispanic names, and probably more cultural parallels with Latino/Caribbean cultures just like in Spanish & French Louisiana. We have to look at history from the lens of our ancestors and our spirit.
@@Papaseer Noted but being that Florida was ruled by Spain, I wouldn't doubt that Caribbeans from Spanish colonies were bought over. We know they were sent to Louisiana. And if anything their spiritual practices probably thrived more in Florida as black persecution was lesser compared to others. I know La Madama did not originate in Florida, for all we know, but I definitely wouldn't say she was not revered there in some form of fashion. I maybe biased because my folks come from there lol.
@@taviangreen6420 Florida is magical especially south Florida i spent a decade of my life in miami so , there is so much truth in what you are saying …
The Blacks in Florida were closer to their African heritage. It actually shows today. I don't think they truly connected with the Spaniard Culture. They would be speaking the language today but they were more influenced by the English language......There is also a deep spiritual presence in certain parts of Florida... Once you get to know certain people of the community you begin to hear the stories...
I loved listening to this as I did laundry. Definitely got some downloads of my own while listening so thank you for opening that "portal" (for lack of a better word) from my madama. Light and progress to you and yours
I'm a Jamaican Canadian 2nd gen on one side 1st on the other, my grandmothers are nana who I got to see this weekend & big mummy who is resting in paradise ❤ i got the big mama spirit from my big mummy, its definitely in you & not on you. I respect and revere all of these spirits, but I completely agree that big mama is a spirit I know personally in many forms in many women that are still alive today❤
Thank you so so much for this episode. It was deeply meaningful to me. Thank you for taking the time to write and share and just subscribed to your YT and podcast. Sending love.
Im from the states but learned how to speak spanish in college and i still can read and write in spanish and LaMadama came to me and the 7 sisters as well and then i learned more about her and not because I'm ashamed of Mammy but because she's the spirit who reached out to me with love and guidance ❤❤❤❤ and you're right she was not that over wieght as they described her either
I can't express just HOW MUCH this made sense. I've always said the science is the magic, meaning knowing the facts makes the rituals more effective. As SOON as you mentioned breast feeding, you won the argument of Mammy not having the Big Mama image. Obesity was not common before the 80's many fail to realize. Even thinking of my own family this was ALL FACTS. My grandmother was a tall big woman with lots of children and a fiery fearless attitude who lived to her mid 80's. My great grandmother (her mother) was half Cherokee, slim, caramel tone with straight hair and very pretty. I have her picture plus she walks with me. She was a house maid for wealthy whites who always gave her gifts and everyone always talked about her beauty. She worked A LOT & she died of a heart attack at work in her 50's. I was born in 1981, so these 2 women were born a loooong time ago. My Great Grandmother was born 1908.
Thank you for speaking the hard truth!! I 💯 agree with you when you were saying who am I to tell people the spirits they feel have reached out to them really haven’t. And YES those women raised white babies and children and LOVED THEM AS THEIR OWN!!! Yessss, they certainly did ❤
Yes, I think I’ve always known these women were wise + beautiful women who bore much agony. I had a Big Mama she died when I was 3 - but her memory lives within from stories, pictures she was a business woman in NOLA. When my Cuzn asked if our kids could call our step grandma ‘Big Mama’ I stood so firm in denouncing her to even think of giving our Big Mama name to another! I believe a spirit came to me, saying no. Thanks for sharing light on these three ‘Mary’s (my Big Mama name) ❤ I’ve collected a few pieces and proudly display them - I remember reading Michael Jackson had a large collection.
I really liked this episode, thank you. My mom did have me washing things on a wash board as a child and it’s no joke so I agree about how you’d describe Mammy and being in shape or close to it. You tell such a great story, it reminds me of some of the things my grandmother told me as a child. And yes if you think about it Mammy would have had to be within child-bearing age in order to produce milk. I’m sure there were others who were beyond that as well. Love your channel.
New Sub. I wish I found your channel sooner. Growing up, the term “Mammy” was a derogatory term. It is nice you shed some light on the term/name/background with love ❤ and care.
And to add, the true is. They were not feeding the house slaves that well. They had rules, they couldn’t just go grab a bite to eat from the refrigerator. My great great grandmother was a house lady that was also biracial.
My Ma’mah on my father’s side shared with me that as a young girl (7 years old) white people came to her for healing and guidance and prophecy. She raised the children of a Dr’s family and took in any orphaned children in her community, everyone called her mother, I called her Ma’mah, I didn’t learn until I was older that her name was Matty. On my mother’s side my great grandmother was the daughter of her mother’s slave owner, she was given many of the privileges of his family, she was highly educated and cultured and they named her Arista.
@@Papaseer because I found documented lies within my father's succession. My aunt lied on my father's death certificate on who my grandfather was. I have found out that her government funded daycare business was left in a will to my grandfather. Which is the reason she omitted my grandfathers name on my father's death certificate. So basically I need a succession contested in the New Orleans area

When you spoke about they're love of coffee ☕ it made me think of my great grandmother and how she loved coffee she's the that introduced to it. I only drink it now because it reminds me of her wow ASE ✨💛🕯️🤍
This is my story hands down the tourch was passed to me and its a hornor not going to let my loves down and carry my tourch with love peace joy and pride what a honer to be the chossen one to bless my blood line andd carry the coverent of protection for my family
History say otherwise. And there are beings on this Earth that are dark and they penetrate all stations of life today. Spirituality is no different. Because there is dark magic. So the practice of racism in the form of dark magic is brought into the practice of Spirituality... But I guess people don't think dark saints exist in this world...
Oh yeah ! 😂😂😂 stop trying to make history a fairy tale . I’m a mambo , there is definitely sexism racism etc in spirituality, if it exist in the physical realm it exists in the spiritual realm 😊
I love your videos Papa Seer, so much great insightful information. But let's normalize not calling our Ancestors "slaves", they were royalty, doctors, farmers.....or whatever, that were "enslaved".
I agree ... but in the telling of many of these stories the aspect is slavery is so important, while it was such a horror story for our people it set the landscape for many of the belief systems that emerged in necessity , thank you
I have seen the same issue in WICCA I seen Caucasian witches say to people who are black, Hispanic, Asian, native American etc that they shouldn't be worshipping pagan European gods again it's a calling who are we to say they don't have a European pagan distant ancestors who calls them to their craft
Wicca and the covenant of witches are not what we think they are. They have stolen many practices amongst the actual various cultures, spiritual systems and have applied the art and practices to their coven and philosophy.....Masters of Trickery and deception is how I see them .....History and timelines is a powerful tool to learn and understand.....Wicca practices started in the 1900.. And the narration of witches was a narrative born within the churches of Europe...During the Inquisition era..
The traditional mammy image in early America was to tend to the masters with no choice before and instead of her own. That's the source of the pain of the word. I see a survivor. I see Orisha Yamanja in another form.
Dr Buzzard is so such a hard person to put a piece together on since there were so many people who lied about being the original Dr Buzzard from South Carolina , however I am working on an episode about him , still in the works I take my time and research , I cannot wait until it’s completed ❤
La Madam was the spiritual healer of her master and the slaves. She ran the house and was usually the masters wife. La Madama read tarot's. Prepared Medicinal herbs. She worship the seven African powers.
Thank you for your content. I appreciate it very much. I'm a white woman presenting with some mixed ancestry (very little African and other races). Do you believe in reincarnation? I'd do wouldn't allow of this come into play with who reaches out to a person?
Aside from being a Hoodoo, I am an active Spiritist , and yes I very much believe in reincarnation, that many of us have been here many times over and have experienced life as different genders and races
Thank you for your response. In my high school, many of my friends and I, believed that we were black and past lives. It was something we spoke about quite freely among each other but didn't share outside the group because we were sensitive and didn't want to sound like posers. Yesterday was the first day I found your content. It's really great and I will continue to explore it. How do you feel about respectful white people attending your classes? My intention is not to go out and re-teach or anything like that but I do feel called to explore it more deeply.
@@carrington2949 but I’ll say again color does not make you color or pretty features that. Fit that face. Makes a person attractive. Everyone is not ugly nor pretty that’s up to genetics
I don't think the statue is unattractive, its the caricature stereotype of "mammy" that was created during that time period to give the impression that ALL black women look like this is what I do not agree with , and that is what makes it triggering, Black Skin is beautiful , all shades of black is beautiful.
I am not interested in the awful days of slavery. What did she do before her capture. Where did she develop her practice of Hoodoo before she landed in the Americas. We are still totally lost.
Understandable, but the awful experience of slavery is apart of her story you skip over that then you don’t really know who she is … whether we like it or not , it was her truth
We are not lost, we’ve journeyed. And hoodoo being created on southern US soil means her hoodoo story and identity as Mammy began during enslavement. Many of these women were born into enslavement. Before enslavement she wasn’t mammy so that would be a different story entirely. The stories and identities of our ancestors can be studied if you study West African and total continental African history. We won’t ever know the full stories, but the information is out there. You are only lost if that’s what you accept
If I am not mistaken the term Big Mama was born in the Sahel, not West Africa....She journeyed to the soil of America and took on the form of Big Mama on the Plantation her pre identity and enslaved identity is still pretty much the same. It describes an older woman of wisdom and power and a leader of her clan....
Mammy is also linked to the name Big Mama. The European culture scarred her image and made her to be this big woman who cooks and cleans. Still the symbolism is within the degradation of the story...Her being big represents her power and her being in the house represents her wisdom and authority over the house. Which also explains your description of her being influenced in politics, arts etc etc.
And also the movie Soil Food is a symbolism of the Big Mama figure......The kitchen represents Alchemy magic and power and social action and the four women each( her daughters and niece) represents the identity of the Big Mama spirit. The niece is the sexual image of the true Big Mama the one with vitality, charisma, seduction, charm. The youngest daughter is the emotional artist the creator, her giving birth is a representation of her creation. The middle daughter is the nurturing healer, the one who holds the family together and the oldest is the political figure......
I’m from miami and these people refuse to learn English to live so I doubt they learn a language to work with anyone and I have Afro Latino black america and Afro Caribbean
I feel it can be a ancestors thing just because your Caucasian, Hispanic, asian. native American etc doesn't mean you don't have a african or african american distant ancestors life began in africa, as well as culture, civilization the humanoids Netherland y later modern humans homosapiens came out of africa y spread across the globe archeology has proven this
Humanity was not born out of Africa. But all over Planet Earth. It's why Ancient Cultures represent the land of their origins and birth. There are universal Deities who are the same but spoken in different languages but still the same deity. Then you have National, tribal and family deities who are assigned to the bloodlines....
This out of Africa theory was an ideology of Charles Darwin who was influenced by his cousin who found a skull of a monkey and with the racist Intentions of the time period. Assigned the skull to the African gene pool. Without the proper tools of that time, he was still determined with accurate prediction that man came from an ape and life started in Africa. Also around a time frame when Africa was plotted upon for total conquest of the whole continent......Ancient records from around the world say something totally different. None of them says life started out of Africa. Many point to the Stars, Water and Mountains ( which houses caves) as their origin stories.....
I appreciate the video, however I'm sure we've seen the vintage photos of "nurses" who breastfeed the masters children and they are darker skinned women (which would have been a Mammy). So I bring that up to say darker women were definitely in the home, whether they were perceived as attractive or not. I also understand how you're not saying dark skinned people aren't attractive so I'm not attacking
Yes, as Blk American, I identify with Big Mama.
My great grandma and grandma were Southern Women who sat on their porch.
They raised all children of the community, was a healer, prayer warriors, and the backbone of the community.
My mom and grandma called my Great Grandma "Mama." I respect the diaspora, but we have our own cultural spirit guides here.
🎯
wow my Great Grand mother also was called Mama by Everybody in our community I mean everybody men childeren whyt people women strangers all called her Mama without her demanding it that was just her God given name I thought
Yep! I'm Black American and grew up in the south (VA); we called our Grama "Big mama", up until she died 5 years ago. The generations before me called the great grandmothers "Big mama". Big Mamas definitely come with a certain southern wisdom ✨
your cultural spirit guides are not that much different to everybody else's in the diaspora only difference is you brag about it all the time n the rest of us don't.....
Im also getting vibes my older GGrand Mothers were BigMama...
When you got to Big Mama, I thought about my grand mamas, and I lit up. Thanks.
This episode is so educational. Breaking down each Spirit, reflecting on who can work with them, and just stating facts! The clarity in this story is going to help so many. Great job.
I agree
Fantastic!! I work with “La Madama” and have a few different ones in my court, however I always knew “Mammy” was different.

Even though the various colors of La Madama dresses have to do with Orisha she may have served, the bright colors of her clothes are seen mostly in the Caribbean and Latin countries. The Old South clothing was darker and more subdued .
This video is ground breaking! Not just for La Madama sake, but it should put attention to the idea that WE have our OWN Ancestral Spirits right here in North America! We have Harriett Tubman, High John, Gullah Jack, Marie Laveau, Railroad Bill and so many others! We need to start bringing forth their Spirits because they reflect our experience here in North America.

The colors were darker but still vivid. Dyes that could be made from the available natural materials surrounding them were utilized. This included indigo (grown in places like SC) , dark greens, and reds from clay (found in the soil).
There was also trade.
😮 WOW X 7.... I MENTION HARRIET VERY OFTEN... ❤

And the reason they were given the prestigious name of madamas was because they did charity for the less fortunate. They were very powerful politically as well.
Reminds me of what "Mother Theresa" tried 🤔 to portray...

I really liked this episode, thank you. My mom did have me washing things on a wash board as a child and it’s no joke so I agree about how you’d describe Mammy and being in shape or close to it. You tell such a great story, it reminds me of some of the things my grandmother told me as a child. And yes if you think about it Mammy would have had to be within child-bearing age in order to produce milk. I’m sure there were others who were beyond that as well. Love your channel.
New Sub. I wish I found your channel sooner.
Growing up, the term “Mammy” was a derogatory term. It is nice you shed some light on the term/name/background with love ❤ and care.
Welcome to the family! Much appreciated thank you
@ Same! Thanks for spreading the good word 🖤
This is so onpoint! This is "Stine" from Underground! It was an Fx show by Misha Green
thank you
Some of culture is unaliving us....especially when it comes to nutrition. We must break that.

Ase! I'll be posting information on my community feed soon, and I look forward to seeing you there.
Awesome commentary and I really appreciate the way you approach the topics you cover 🖤
I appreciate the love and feedback! This means a lot
And to add, the true is. They were not feeding the house slaves that well. They had rules, they couldn’t just go grab a bite to eat from the refrigerator. My great great grandmother was a house lady that was also biracial.
These are facts ! Thank you for your comment
Witch here love this type of pod cast
Hi what can I use to grow my hair back. I have Thyroid issues.
Greetings from Burundi; loving the content.
Thank you for watching from Burundi 🙏🏽
I'm glad I found you
My Ma’mah on my father’s side shared with me that as a young girl (7 years old) white people came to her for healing and guidance and prophecy. She raised the children of a Dr’s family and took in any orphaned children in her community, everyone called her mother, I called her Ma’mah, I didn’t learn until I was older that her name was Matty.
On my mother’s side my great grandmother was the daughter of her mother’s slave owner, she was given many of the privileges of his family, she was highly educated and cultured and they named her Arista.
Very informative and learned some new things ♥️ amazing work
I am glad you enjoyed it , thank you for listening
I wish I could find an attorney within the spiritual community, one that understands spiritual attacks etc.
I know exactly what you mean
🫶🏾
Curious why an attorney and not a professional practitioner ?
@@Papaseer because I found documented lies within my father's succession. My aunt lied on my father's death certificate on who my grandfather was. I have found out that her government funded daycare business was left in a will to my grandfather. Which is the reason she omitted my grandfathers name on my father's death certificate. So basically I need a succession contested in the New Orleans area
I agree, that would help.
This is lovely! Thank you ❤
Very welcome

24:03 I love this realistic break down
Had to do it !!! Dropping some more stuff today !
Zp001p @@Papaseer
When does the actual video subject start?
😂
there is no place for racism in spirituality
Say this louder for the people in the back please ! 🙏🏽 thank you
History say otherwise. And there are beings on this Earth that are dark and they penetrate all stations of life today. Spirituality is no different. Because there is dark magic. So the practice of racism in the form of dark magic is brought into the practice of Spirituality... But I guess people don't think dark saints exist in this world...
Oh yeah ! 😂😂😂 stop trying to make history a fairy tale . I’m a mambo , there is definitely sexism racism etc in spirituality, if it exist in the physical realm it exists in the spiritual realm 😊
I love your videos Papa Seer, so much great insightful information. But let's normalize not calling our Ancestors "slaves", they were royalty, doctors, farmers.....or whatever, that were "enslaved".
I agree ... but in the telling of many of these stories the aspect is slavery is so important, while it was such a horror story for our people it set the landscape for many of the belief systems that emerged in necessity , thank you
@Papaseer Absolutely right♥️🖤💚
I was told Lamadama from the south I never heard about the islands
La Madama is Spanish for “nanny” she is definitely from the Caribbean islands .. Mammy is from the south . Thank you for listening 🫶🏽❤️
Great share!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How do you confirm that you are in connection with the correct spirit you contacted?
All the healers here I suffer from Thyroid disease how can I grow my hair back Thx 🙏
I need a candle for protection from my enemies. Staking me 😮😮and abundance any suggestions books ?
Yes my God Daughter makes fixed candles
Thank You
Blessings 🛐🔥🔥💞
How are you so young and speak so much truth...❤
I have seen the same issue in WICCA I seen Caucasian witches say to people who are black, Hispanic, Asian, native American etc that they shouldn't be worshipping pagan European gods again it's a calling who are we to say they don't have a European pagan distant ancestors who calls them to their craft
Wicca and the covenant of witches are not what we think they are. They have stolen many practices amongst the actual various cultures, spiritual systems and have applied the art and practices to their coven and philosophy.....Masters of Trickery and deception is how I see them .....History and timelines is a powerful tool to learn and understand.....Wicca practices started in the 1900.. And the narration of witches was a narrative born within the churches of Europe...During the Inquisition era..
Very interesting
Glad you think so!
7:05 Thank you 🎧✨✨✨🖤🩷🫒🪶
Thank you for listening
My mommmaaa!! Love her
I had a dream with her once and she had rubbed herbs on my abdomen..2 days later I was rushed to the er for kidney stones..
The traditional mammy image in early America was to tend to the masters with no choice before and instead of her own. That's the source of the pain of the word. I see a survivor. I see Orisha Yamanja in another form.
love long episodes they allow me to cook and listen which feels like killing 2 birds w one stone lol❤ i never comment but thank you for your time
Haha ! Thanks for this and I am glad you enjoyed
Can you do a piece on dr buzzard, Dallas Moore,
Dr Buzzard is so such a hard person to put a piece together on since there were so many people who lied about being the original Dr Buzzard from South Carolina , however I am working on an episode about him , still in the works I take my time and research , I cannot wait until it’s completed ❤
Asè, thank you
❤️🫶🏽
As a gifted one I can identify with them ....
Papa Seer! I need my body healed, someone put voodoo on me. Do I call on my Ancestors for healing?
So many contradictory statements here, this video was something. I can't quite put my finger on it but it was something.
Thanks for watching
My gr mother was called madea (before Tyler Perry)
La Madam was the spiritual healer of her master and the slaves. She ran the house and was usually the masters wife. La Madama read tarot's. Prepared Medicinal herbs. She worship the seven African powers.
the term used is kind on the white eye
Was definitely worked/used in New Orleans.
I can identify 🎉
Thank you for your content. I appreciate it very much. I'm a white woman presenting with some mixed ancestry (very little African and other races). Do you believe in reincarnation? I'd do wouldn't allow of this come into play with who reaches out to a person?
Aside from being a Hoodoo, I am an active Spiritist , and yes I very much believe in reincarnation, that many of us have been here many times over and have experienced life as different genders and races
Thank you for your response. In my high school, many of my friends and I, believed that we were black and past lives. It was something we spoke about quite freely among each other but didn't share outside the group because we were sensitive and didn't want to sound like posers. Yesterday was the first day I found your content. It's really great and I will continue to explore it. How do you feel about respectful white people attending your classes? My intention is not to go out and re-teach or anything like that but I do feel called to explore it more deeply.
I will truly understand if you prefer not to have white people in these spaces.

Now you could have had a darker women that was attractive in the face because features make you attractive not color
We come in all shades with varied features.
@@carrington2949 but I’ll say again color does not make you color or pretty features that. Fit that face. Makes a person attractive. Everyone is not ugly nor pretty that’s up to genetics
I don't see them unattractive, I just see them as older women. They just look aged.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder in my eyes the darker the more attractive non of these women are unattractive in the face
I don't think the statue is unattractive, its the caricature stereotype of "mammy" that was created during that time period to give the impression that ALL black women look like this is what I do not agree with , and that is what makes it triggering, Black Skin is beautiful , all shades of black is beautiful.
Dipped snuff.
yes

I am not interested in the awful days of slavery. What did she do before her capture. Where did she develop her practice of Hoodoo before she landed in the Americas. We are still totally lost.
Understandable, but the awful experience of slavery is apart of her story you skip over that then you don’t really know who she is … whether we like it or not , it was her truth
We are not lost, we’ve journeyed. And hoodoo being created on southern US soil means her hoodoo story and identity as Mammy began during enslavement. Many of these women were born into enslavement. Before enslavement she wasn’t mammy so that would be a different story entirely. The stories and identities of our ancestors can be studied if you study West African and total continental African history. We won’t ever know the full stories, but the information is out there. You are only lost if that’s what you accept
If I am not mistaken the term Big Mama was born in the Sahel, not West Africa....She journeyed to the soil of America and took on the form of Big Mama on the Plantation her pre identity and enslaved identity is still pretty much the same. It describes an older woman of wisdom and power and a leader of her clan....
Mammy is also linked to the name Big Mama. The European culture scarred her image and made her to be this big woman who cooks and cleans. Still the symbolism is within the degradation of the story...Her being big represents her power and her being in the house represents her wisdom and authority over the house. Which also explains your description of her being influenced in politics, arts etc etc.
And also the movie Soil Food is a symbolism of the Big Mama figure......The kitchen represents Alchemy magic and power and social action and the four women each( her daughters and niece) represents the identity of the Big Mama spirit. The niece is the sexual image of the true Big Mama the one with vitality, charisma, seduction, charm. The youngest daughter is the emotional artist the creator, her giving birth is a representation of her creation. The middle daughter is the nurturing healer, the one who holds the family together and the oldest is the political figure......
I’m from miami and these people refuse to learn English to live so I doubt they learn a language to work with anyone and I have Afro Latino black america and Afro Caribbean
La Madama was a kindoki
I feel it can be a ancestors thing just because your Caucasian, Hispanic, asian. native American etc doesn't mean you don't have a african or african american distant ancestors life began in africa, as well as culture, civilization the humanoids Netherland y later modern humans homosapiens came out of africa y spread across the globe archeology has proven this
Humanity was not born out of Africa. But all over Planet Earth. It's why Ancient Cultures represent the land of their origins and birth. There are universal Deities who are the same but spoken in different languages but still the same deity. Then you have National, tribal and family deities who are assigned to the bloodlines....
This out of Africa theory was an ideology of Charles Darwin who was influenced by his cousin who found a skull of a monkey and with the racist Intentions of the time period. Assigned the skull to the African gene pool. Without the proper tools of that time, he was still determined with accurate prediction that man came from an ape and life started in Africa. Also around a time frame when Africa was plotted upon for total conquest of the whole continent......Ancient records from around the world say something totally different. None of them says life started out of Africa. Many point to the Stars, Water and Mountains ( which houses caves) as their origin stories.....
I appreciate the video, however I'm sure we've seen the vintage photos of "nurses" who breastfeed the masters children and they are darker skinned women (which would have been a Mammy). So I bring that up to say darker women were definitely in the home, whether they were perceived as attractive or not.
I also understand how you're not saying dark skinned people aren't attractive so I'm not attacking
