WELCOME !!
HOTEP!! You are auspiciously welcome to Obi Okara "aka" Everton Swagga Powell's web site. I welcome you with Libation. Libation is offered
to our ancestors as a convocation
for auspicious events.
For people of African descent, our ancestors are the focus of
deep respect.
The offering of libation
involves the pouring of liquid, which can be water or wine,
on the ground in a special
pattern
while homage is paid to the ancestors.
THE LIBATION (TAMBIKO)
We call upon our ancestors far and near Fathers of our fathers, mothers of our mothers
To bear witness to what we have done,
And by their example, to continue to inspire us toward,
Reclaimig our African minds, regenerating our African spirit,
Liberating our home land, and reclaiming our greatness as a people.
We pour this libation to bring into our midst their venerable African spirit, radiating their great wisdom, courage, dedication, and unyielding commitment to victory by any means necessary.
It is in the honor of our Creator, our Ancestors, our Children and their children that we pour this libation. For the Creator, and the various manifestation of the Creative spirit;
We Pour Libation (Audience respond "Ashay"/Be with us)
For our esteemed ancestors, who laid the foundation for human civilization, and who provided the wisdom by which we live and the models by which our lives are guided;
We Pour Libation (Audience respond "Ashay"/Be with us)
For our esteem ancestors who have suffered the atrocities and horrors of our MAAFA, and yet demonstrtated the victorious power of the African spirit against adversity, by maintaining their dignity no matter the cost.
We Pour Libation (Audience respond "Ashay"/Be with us)
And for those ancestors who survived and made it posible for us to be here today to continue on their valiant struggle for African liberation and vindication.

And finally, for our Children and their children and future generations of Africans to come, that they too in their time will vindicate our race from all adversaries and continue to imprint upon the world the great genius of african humanity;
We Pour Libation (Audience respond "Ashay"/Be with us)
May their venerable African spirit engulf this occasion to reaffirm our Africanity.
It is done.
Amon is satisfied.
