Shinto

Introduction

This religion has its own cosmology, spirits, purity, mortality, symbols, priesthood, shamans, shrines, and rituals.  Shinto has a long history and it is even practiced outside of Japan.  It has been influenced by other religions.  You can even find Shinto ideas in anime!!!!!!!    

Cosmology

The universe was created when heaven was separated from earth.  Three spirits (Amenominakanushi, Takamimusuhi no Mikoto, and Kamimusuhi no Mikoto) appeared after that and 2 spirits ( Izanagi and Izanami) after them.  These later 2 spirits were brother-husband and sister-wife.  They were like Adam and Eve and were commanded to create land, so they did.  Then one of them gave birth to more spirits.  But she died while after giving birth to to a fire spirit then she descended into the underworld.  The brother went down there to see her.  She was rotting, so he ran away.  He wash himself in the sea to purify his aura.  As he was doing that the Sun and Moon spirits came out his eyes and the storm spirit came out his nose.  The grandson of the sun goddess was the first ruler of Japan.  

There is a upper world, middle world, and lower world.  These ideas are very shamanic.  The pure spirits live in the upper world.  Humans live in the middle world.  Unclean spirits live in the lower world.  Some people believe spirits of the deceased live in mountains.  Others feel they help there descendants prosper.             

Kami 

Most of the spirits in Shinto are called kami.  They are a part of nature and they bless and curse.  The practitioners Shinto try to be in harmony with them.  I will list some of the kami.  

1. Izanagi: He gave shape to the earth with the help of his sister-wife.  He had sex with her and she gave birth to Japanese islands.  They had other kids as well.      

2. Izanami: She is the goddess of life and death.  She got stuck in the lower world because she ate some food there.  Izanagi tried to safe her, but was unable too.       

3. Amaterasu: Sun goddesses ruler of the upper world.  She is the daughter of Izanagi and a perpetual virgin.  

4. Raijin: He is a god of thunder storms.   Some of the maggots on Izanami rotting corpse became Raijin.  The Kamikaze that stopped the Mongols from invading Japan was created by him.  

5. Fujin: God of the wind and brother of Raijin.  He escaped the underworld with his brother through a crack in the boulder.  

6. Susanoo: God of the sea and storms.  He is the 3rd child Izanagi had when he was bathing in the sea.  He scared his sister Amaterasu into a cave.  There was no light on earth at that time.  Other kami encouraged her to come out.  

7. Tsukuyomi: God of the Moon and son of the primordial pair.  He went to a feast for his sister and he killed the host, because he didn't like the way the food was presented.  Amaterasu decided to never look at him again.  That's why the Sun is out in the day time and the Moon at night time.  

8. Kotoamatsukami:  They are a trinity and they are self created.  They are the first kami.  

The human spirit is made up of 4 parts.  They are as follows: normal, violent, love, and wise.  The normal part helps people when venerated.  The violent part as to pacified so the normal part will appear.  The loving part bless people.  The wise soul can heal people.   

Purity

It is called harae; humans are naturally have harae.  Kegare is impurity, which is caused by childbirth, rape, menstruation, disease, and death.  There are rituals that will make you to have harae again.  Priests avoid certain activities, so they won't get kegare.  Salt and fire can cause harae.    

Mortality

Sincerity is very important in Shinto.  It is called makoto.  This religion doesn't have a moral doctrine, like the ones you would find in the Abrahamic religions.  Goodness is "beauty, brightness, excellence, good fortune, nobility, purity, suitability, harmony, conformity, [and] productivity."  

Symbols

Torii: They are scared gates that mark the entrance to the dwelling place of the kami.  Going through one purifies you.  Most Torii gates are painted red, because red wards of natural disasters.  

Shimenawa: They ropes that mark off a sacred space.  They ward off evil spirits.  Some are thick and some are thin.

Shide: They are zig-zap shape paper.  They attract blessing and remove curses.  Its put the ends of wand and used in purification rituals.

Tomoe: They are 2, 3, or 4 dots.  Usually 3, they represent the 3 worlds.  Which are the upper world, middle world, and lower world.  

Shinkyo: Sacred mirror used by the kami to communicate with people.  They can appear in the mirror.  It is kept in the shrine. 

 

Theses are some of the symbols in Shinto.  There are many others.

    

Kami Specialists

The leaders of this religion are called kannushi.  Theses are the priests and priestesses.  They keep the shrine clean and teach people the proper way to worship the kami.  They tell people what the kami want.  Their children usually take up the mantle.  Widows can become priestess if their husbands were priests.  

To become a priest or priestess, you have to take classes.  There 5 ranks of kannushi.  Chokkai is the rookie priest.  Gonseikai serve shrines in villages and towns.  Seikai is the 3rd rank, they can head priest @ some shrines.  Meikai can be head priest or assistant priest.  Jokai are the the highest rank.  They did the most schooling and they are the chief priest.             

Miko

They are shamans that do ritual dances and allow spirits to speak through them.  They are female and they help the priest, clean the shrine, sell talismans and amulets, assist in rituals and prayer.  They are able to speak to the spirits of the deceased.  They are in communion with animal spirits and get possessed by kami.     

Shrines

There are 100,000 shrines in Japan.  Inside the shrine (jinja) is a honden.  That is the house of the kami.  It is the heart of the shrine.  Shinpo are the items in the honden that belong to the kami.  Only priests can go into a honden.  The haiden is for the public and the heiden connects it to the honden.  The offering are put in the heiden.  Next to the honden is bekku.  Another kami lives there and it may be just as important as the kami in the honden.  Some jinjas have another building for weddings.         

Rituals

Ceremonies are conducted @ shrines.  To of the rituals are Jichinsai and Norito.  Jichinsai is done b4 a building is built.  They cleanse the land and pray 4 safety.  Norito is a formal prayer.  Kannushi speak magic words during the prayer.  There are rituals for festivals.  They are as followed:                   

1. "Purification - this takes place before the main ceremony
2. Adoration - bowing to the altar
3. Opening of the sanctuary
4. Presentation of food offerings (meat cannot be used as an offering)
5. Prayers (the form of prayers dates from the 10th century CE)
6. Music and dance
7. Offerings - these are symbolic and consist of twigs of a sacred tree bearing of white paper
8. Removal of offerings
9. Closing the sanctuary
10. Final adoration
11. Sermon (optional)
12. Ceremonial meal (this is often reduced to ceremonial sake drinking)"

History(include influence of other religions)

The word Shinto was created 1300 years ago; so it could be distinguished from Confucianism and Buddhism.  The kami were viewed as previous forms of Buddha.  Shinto was combined with Buddhism.  Confucianism was added to it as well.  @ this time Shinto was drowning because of this.  Buddhism was top dog in Japan until the 1700's.  Shinto priests were relegated to diviners and magicians.  

In the early 18th century Shinto became the national religion.  The samurai were Buddhists and they ruled Japan for centuries.  They were wiped out in 1867.  The Last Samurai is a movie about that.  Shinto was used to support the emperor claim to the throne.  It is known as State Shinto, but there were people that practiced traditional Shinto as well.  The Japanese people believed they were superior to all people @ this time.  After they lost WII, State Shinto was abolished.            

Korean folk religion is called Shinism.  It is very similar to Shinto.  Polytheism, ancestor veneration, shamans, offerings, and purification rites are a part of this religion.  All those elements are in Shinto as well.  This is because the Japanese and the Koreans had a big influence on each other.         

Overseas

Shinto has spread to various countries.  It is in Canada, U.S., Brazil, Korea, France, and Holland.  State Shinto was brought to Korea when Japan was imperial.  In Holland rituals are done on new years and for children.  In France there is a Buddhist temple that has small shrine in it.  In the U.S. there are shrines in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Hawaii.  In Canada people pray and meditate @ the shrine.      

Shinto in Anime

You will find Shinto ideas in many Japanese anime series.  Pokemon and Digimon are based on the kami.  Naruto has a 9 tailed fox (type of kami) and techniques named after kami.  Some of there techniques are based on symbols.  Dragon Ball series have a Shinto cosmology in it.  Shinto is a divine fighting style in Bleach.       

Conclusion

Shinto has a shamanic cosmology and many spirits.  Purity is very important and its morality isn't as strict as other religions.  It has priests and shamans that make sweet symbols.  Rituals are done @ shrines.  It has a long history, it is 1300 years old!!!!!  Several countries have Shinto shrines.  Anime has been greatly influenced by it.

Chinese Folk Religion

 Introduction

There are many traditional religions in China.  Altogether they are known as Chinese Folk Religion.  These various religions have several things in common.  Membership is kin based.   People of different positions have various roles in these religions.  Sum of these religions based on historical people.  They have been influenced by Taoism and Confucianism.  The Chinese Communist party is suppressing these religions.  

Commonality

Chi: This is the energy that keeps us alive.  It travels in our body as meridians.  

Jingzu: This is ancestor veneration.  Ancestral spirits play an important role in these religions.  

Shen: This is the word for deities.  They are a very big deal.  

Tian: This is what the supreme being is called.  You can think of it as Brahman or Tao.    

Baojing: This word means karma.   

Yin & Yang: These are complementary forces, such as male and female.  There is some yang in yin and some yin in yang, because they're 2 sides of the same coins.   

Hun & Po: Hun is similar to the etheric body and Po is similar to astral body.  The Hun stay by the grave and Po travel to higher realms.    

Membership

People of the same last name fellow the same religion.  They build a temple and venerate ancestors together.  They share resources and property together.  These temples support schools and give to charity.  These lineage associations are common among the Han tribe.        

Leaders of Spirituality

Shamans in Chinese Folk Religion are called Wu.  They are healers and diviners.  They may also have the power to make it rain.  Some of them are priests, which are called Huowushi.  They officiare community rituals.  Bloodline shamans are called Nanwu.  They are men that get their position from there fathers.  Nu wu are female shamans, they heal with herbs and interact with spirits.  Some of the rituals of these religions promote longevity.  They also do rituals to venerate their ancestors.  

People's Religion

Mazuism: There was a shaman named Lin Monianing .  She lived over a millennium ago.  She rescued many fishermen and merchants.  She was deified as a sea goddess after she died.  There are over 100 million adherents of this religion and over 1,000 temples.  It's popular in Taiwan.  She was born on 3/23 and became a goddess 9/9.          

Caishen Worship: He is the god of prosperity.  Chinese New Year is his holiday.  He may be the most powerful shen.  Alchemy is one of his powers; he can turn iron into gold.  Many Chinese politicians and military leaders were incarnations of him.  He may be a deified ancestor.     

Influences

Taoism: This religion was created by Lao Tzu.  He also wrote the Tao Te Ching.  It is a book full of paradoxes.  The 3 Jewels are important in Taoism.  They are compassion, frugality, and humility.  Yin and yang and the 5 elements (water, wood, fire, earth and metal) come from this religion.  Each element has more or less yin or yang.  Earth has an even amount.      

Confucianism: This is a religion based on the teaching of Confucius.  The 5 Classics are holy texts of Confucianism.  They deal with divination, poetry, politics, rites, etc.  Social morality, humaneness, loyalty, and filial piety are very important in this religion.  There are several vertical relationships.  Husband over wife, older brother over younger brother, master over student, and the only horizontal relationships are friendships.      

Buddhism:  This religion is based on the teaching of Buddha.  It is very psychological; you can learn a lot about the mind from it.  There are 4 Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path.  It describe the problem and solutions.  The goal is to escape samsara by attaining nirvana.  There are 2 major forms of Buddhism and a minor form.  Tibetan Buddhism is my favorite because it's the most magickal.          

Communist Suppression

The government of China destroyed over 5800 temples in 2019.  That made me so angry!!!!!!  Being religious in China is tough, because of the government.  Recently many Uighurs been put concentration camps.  They practice the religion of Islam.  I wish there was religious freedom in China.      

Conclusion

The traditional religions of China has several things in common.  They are as followed: ancestor veneration, chi, jingzu, shen, Tian, baojing, yin/yang, and hun/po.  Membership is based on kinship.  Shamans play a huge role in these religions.  Some of the religions are based on deified ancestors.  It has been influenced by Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism.  It is surpassed by the Chinese government.  I love these religions!!!!!

Siriusians

 Introduction

There are highly intelligent beings in the Sirius star system.  They come in different species: Humanoid, Cat, Reptoid,  etc.  They have being interacting with humans for millions of years!!!  They may have had a hand in our creation.  Some people on Earth lived in the Sirius star system in their previous lifetime.      

Different Species

Blue People: They are very loyal and have strong beliefs.  They focus on the future and don't like thinking about the past.  That's because thinking of the past cause them great sadness.  They concentrate more on the spirit world than the physical one.  They have a strong connection to mother nature.  A lot them were (native) Americans in the past. 

Cat People: They are very strong, intelligent, psychic, and spiritual.  The 5th and 6th dimensions is their home.  They can manifest on the 3rd dimension by slowing their vibration.  They came to Earth in prehistoric times and interacted with Kemetians.  They help them evolve spiritually and gave them technology.  Modern day cats are their descendants.  That's why cats can see spirits.  

Hybrid: They are from a planet around Sirius B.  They have gray skin, red hair, and snake eyes.  Aliens from Orion were getting natural resources from this planet and brought these people there as slaves.  Today they are ruled by a monarchy.  They are human-reptilian shapeshifters.                    

Humanoid: They have various skin colors: black, red, gray, and beige.  Some of the have snake eyes and scales.  They concentrate more on the politics than spirituality.  

On most of the planets around Sirius B there are reptoids and amphibian aliens.  

There is a African story about earth humans living on a planet in the Sirius star system.  They ate a lot of the fish people, so they were brought back to earth.  This story was told by Credo Mutwa.  He new a lot about aliens.        

Interaction with Humanity
Some people believe the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt were Siriusians.  Akhenaten had a long head and so did his children.  They may have had Siriusian ancestry.  The Siriusians may have played a role in ancient civilizations.  The Dogon told some Frenchmen about the Nommo and the wrote about it.  The Nommo were aliens that came from a planet near Sirius B.  Credo Mutwa told a story about Africans going to a planet near Sirius.  They ate the fish people there, so they were brought back to earth.  

The Siriusians have given technology to the United States in the past.  They were involved with the Philadelphia Experiment and Montauk Project.  But they aren't involved in technology transfer of the Grays and Reptoids.  They may have added in the creation of Ebola virus.    

Sirian Starseed

These are people whose last reincarnation was in the Sirius star system.  They are very spiritual, focused, calm, and fun.  They repress their emotions because they don't like to think about the past.  Instead they look toward the future!  Humans been in the Sirius star system much longer than they been on earth; so we have a lot to learn from them.  

Conclusion

There are many different species in the Sirius star system.  Quite a few of them are very psychic.  There are cat people, reptoids, humanoids, and hybrids.  Siriuisians had a big impact on ancient civilizations: such as Kemet.  They gave technology to the United States government.  Some people on earth was Siriusians in their past lives.

Cleopatra

 Cleopatra

She was the last pharaoh of Kemet and last member of the Ptolemy dynasty.  She was a polymath that spoke several languages.  There were political problems during her reign.  Julius Caesar was her boyfriend and she married Mark Anthony.  The Romans killed her or she commited suicide.      

Education

She had access to the Library of Alexandria and scholars were a part of her entourage.  The Greek alphabet was taught to her at a young age.  When she got older she learned several more languages.  They are as follows: Kemetic, Nubian, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Latin.  She was great at public speaking.  She was taught math and science.  In the Library of Alexandria she wrote books on medicine.   

Ptolemy Dynasty
After Alexander conquered Kemet, he went to an oracle.  She told him his father is Amen.  Amen to the Greeks was Zeus.  The Kemetians saw the Greeks as liberators, because they were oppressed by the Persians.  A fishing village in Lower Egypt became Alexandria.  It was a major center of learning in the ancient world.  There was a huge library there!!!!!    

Ptolemy I Soter was a general in Alexander's army.  He became the pharaoh of Kemet after Alexander died.  Soter stole Alexander's corpse and buried him in Kemet.  He had two wives and they both was from Macedonia.  Both wives had children with him.  But he treated kids from his second wife better than kids from his first.  

There were 17 pharaohs of this dynasty.  It was common for members of this dynasty to marry their each other.  It was also common for members of this family to kill each other, so they could be ruler.  The children of dynasty got a great education, because they had access to books and scholars in the library of Alexandria.  This dynasty ruled for 275 years.         

Some of the Ptolemies were crowned by priests of Ptah.  Those priests were close to the royal family.  They had a lot to do with the cult of Arsinoe II.  The priests of Ptah were known as "The Greatest of the Directors of Craftsmanship."  They lived in Het-Ka-Ptah, which the Greeks called Memphis."

Political Problems

Cleopatra father was Ptolemy XII.  He bribed Pompey and Julius Caesar, so Rome would be an ally to Kemet.  At that time Cyprus was apart of the Kemetic empire.  Rome invaded and Ptolemy XII (PXII) didn't defend it.  Kemetians revolted because of this and PXII was exiled to Rome.  His wife became pharaoh for a year.  Her daughter poisoned her.  Then one of his daughters became pharaoh 4 a year.  PXII had her killed then he became pharaoh again.  Cleopatra became coregent with him after that.  She was only 14 years old at that time.  

Cleopatra became pharaoh after he died and Ptolemy XIII (PXIII) became coregent.  She was the only member of the Ptolemy dynasty to learn Metu Neter.  She was exiled to Syria by Alexandrian officials, because she sent sum Roman soldiers there for trial.  They murdered the son of the Syrian governor.  While she was in Syria her brother became pharaoh.  

Pompey lost to Caesar, so he moved to Kemet.  PXIII advisers killed him by decapitation.  Caesar came Kemet and was handed the head of Pompey.  He was saddened by this, because Pompey was his friend.  Julius wanted Cleopatra to rule with her brother (PXIII).  Cleopatra snuck in Kemet from Syria by being rolled into a carpet.  The carpet was unrolled in front of Caesar.  She was 21 years old then.  

PXIII went war with Cleopatra for the throne of Kemet.  Caesar tried to resolve it, but it didn't work.  He had a naval battle with PXIII forces and the lighthouse was damaged.  Cleopatra won the war and PXIII was killed.  Her 11 year old brother Ptolemy XIV became coregent.  Arsinoe was paraded in Rome in chains.  Then she was executed for being on the losing team.     

Romance with JC

Julius Caesar became Cleopatra significant other.  They had a son named Caesarion, which means little Caesar.  She traveled to Rome and lived in Caesar villa.  The Romans didn't like Cleopatra and they were upset Caesar was dating her.  Cleopatra made a temple of Julius Caesar after he died.  She wanted people to remember her son's father.  

Romance with Mark

Cleopatra threw a big party for him once he got to Kemet.  After that he fell in love with her.  He divorced his wife.  She was Octavius sister (Octavia) and they had children.  He married Cleo in 32 BCE.  They had 2 kids together: they were twins.  A boy and a girl.  Their names were Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene.  Helios is the sun god and Selene is the moon god in Greek mythology.  They are also brother and sister.  There last child was named Ptolemy Philadelphus.

Mark Anthony was going to make Alexandria the second capital of the Roman Empire.  Cleo helped him with a battle, so he gave her territory as a way of saying thank you.  The territories were Judea, Syria, Cyrus, Arabia, Phoenicia, and more.           

Downfall

After Mark Anthony fought Rome in a sea battle to protect Kemet.  He was killed, then Rome invaded.  Cleopatra was put on house arrest.  She committed suicide, or so it seems.  An investigator said the Romans killed her and made it seem like a suicide.  Caesarion was killed by Roman soldiers.  The 3 other children were given to Octavia.      

Conclusion

Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Kemet.  She got a great education and was a member of the Ptolemy dynasty.  She spoke 6 languages and was a polymath.  There was a lot of scandals in that dynasty.  JC was her boyfriend and she married MA.  Both of her significant others were murdered.  She was finally taken out by the Romans and her kids lost their birthright.  The oldest son lost his life.  Her life was like a real life movie!!!!!!

Qliphoth use in Western Magick

A magickian can make connect with the demons of the Qliphoth and journey through the tunnels to become better shapers of reality.  Each Qliphah/demon/tunnel can teach you a different spell or ritual.  I will explain some of them.  Lilith can help you raise your their kundalini.  Samael can help you destroy your enemies.  The Dark Tower ritual can empower you and your spells.  Dark Venus can help you get in touch with feminine energy.                                     

Conclusion        

The Qliphoth (duality) is the shadow of the Kabbalah (unity).  It has 10 Qliphahs and 22 paths.  The paths are called the Tunnels of Set.  This is because Set is the prototype of Satan.  Each Qliphah and tunnel have a certain attribute/s, idea/s, energy/s, and or spirit/s.  Western magickians have done Qliphothic magick for centuries!!!!!

Knights Templar

Introduction
The Knights Templar protected Christian pilgrims in Jerusalem.  They were created during the crusades and were around for several centuries.  They learned a lot from the Hashshashins.  Jacques de Molay was the last grandmaster of the Templars.  They were persecuted by King Philip and the Catholic Church.  The knights that escaped persecution became the Order of Christ.  It may have a connection to the Freemasonry.  

                                 
History

There full name is Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of Solomon Temple.  They were a Catholic order of soldiers.  It was founded in 1119 in Jerusalem.  Recognized decades later by the Catholic Church.  It lasted until 1312. The Knights Templar was created to protect Christendom in the (un)Holy Land.  They created a form of banking that stretched from Europe to the Middle East.         

                                                                    

Hashashin
They were started in Iran in 1090 and some of them moved to Syria.  They had its kingdom and lasted until 1275.   They assassinated over 100 of their enemies using a dagger.  The Mongols wiped them out.  They believed they had the true teaching of Islam.  Many Muslims saw they has hertics, others admired them.  Their doctrine was a mix of Greek philosophy, Kabbalistic ideas, and Abrahamic ideas. 

They used hashish for mind control purposes and maybe to commune with Allah.  Hashish was used to get a man high and/or cause him to faint and take to a cave with beautiful women.  He was told this was paradise.  So, by joining them he get to live in paradise after he dies.  Then they would knock them out and take they to where first gave them drug.   

The Hashashins murdered a Frankish politician in Tripoli in 1151.  In response the Knights Templar raided Hashashin territory and made them pay tribute.  The Hashashins assassinated someone else years later and then they were made to pay tribute again.  

Some members of Knights Templar may have been initiated into Hashashin order.  The structure of the Hashashin was copied by Knights Templar.  The structure had 3 levels: teachers, spiritual followers, and killers.  The Templars changed the 3 levels into progressive steps.            

Jacques de Molay

He was the last grandmaster of the Knights Templar.  He was born in the Holy Roman Empire in about 1244.  He joined the Knights Templar when he was 21 and his family was nobility.  Palestine was conquered by the Mamelukes.  In response to that, the Kingdom of Jerusalem moved to Cyprus.  There he became the grandmaster of the order.  There was talks of merging the order with Knights Hospitaller.  Neither grandmaster wanted that.  He went in to Europe to gather allies to reconquer Palestine, but no one was feeling that, at first.  Other Christian forces helped him attack the Mamelukes.  The Mongols were suppose to help, but never did.  Molay was put to death on 3/11/1314.  He was tortured into confessing to crimes he didn't commit.  There is a Freemasonic cult called Demolay International.  Its named are Jacques de Molay.  Bill Clinton joined when he was a teen.  

Downfall

They loaned the French king (Philip) some money.  He didn't want to to pay them back; so he persecuted them.  The Catholic Church aided him in the persecution.  Also they wanted their own country in southern France.  King Philip was against that.  The knights was tortured into confessing crimes they didn't commit.  They were 'accused of denying Christ, spitting and urinating on the cross, and devil worship.'  Many people believed these accusations.  Some of the knights survived the persecutions.

Order of Christ

The knights that survived joined this order.  It was created on 1319.  The king of Portugal loved the Knights Templar, because they helped Portugal free itself from a Islamic grip.  Queen Maria I made the order secular in 1786.  The order has five grades.         

                       
Knights Templar Relationship to Freemasonry

The blue degrees of the Freemasonry are almost the same as the 3 degrees of Knights Templar.  The last degree of York Rite is Knights Templar.  I read the Templars founded the Scottish Rite.  A freemasonic organization for young men is named after the last grandmaster of Knights Templar.  But, masons may have just made it seem like they are related to Knights Templar.  They also made up stories about originating from architects of Solomon Temple, Ancient Egypt (Kemet), and Atlantis.     

                                                                     

Conclusion
The Knights Templar lasted for about 200 years.  They protected Christian pilgrims in Jerusalem.  They were frenemies with the Hashashins.  Their last grandmaster was Jacques de Molay.  A freemasonic organization is named after him.  They were persecuted by The French king and the Catholic Church, so many of them died.  The ones that survived became the Order of Christ in Portugal.

History
The Niger-Congo language originated in West Africa, or so it seems.  The Bantu left West Africa and spread Niger-Congo languages and technologies to the east and south of Africa.  It is the biggest language family in Africa because Niger-Congo people biggest group of Africans on the continent.  Niger-Congo languages are over 5,000 years old.

Niger-Congo People
These are my favorite Africans, because I love there prehistoric religious ideas.  They believed in a creator, deities, ancestral and nature spirits.  A lot of them still have these beliefs.  But, sadly most of them are Christians or Muslims.  They have great wisdom and they used fishing hooks in prehistoric times.  The Igbos got a sweet religion called Odinani.  The Yorbas got a similar religion called Ifa.  Serer had a sweet religion too.  Akan people came from Bonoman.  All 4 of those tribes lived in Kemet in ancient times!!!!!!  The Ewe started in Lemuria!!!!!!!  They spent time in Kemet too.  Niger-Congo people built many great kingdoms and empires.   

There was a Bentu kingdom that was ruled by lady magicians.  If anyone committed a crime a great curse will befall them.  So, no crimes were committed.  Then 4 sum reason people left that kingdom and went east and south.  They introduced farming an metal technology to different parts of Africa.  A Nubian girl taught them how to herd cattle.  The Hutus battled the Tutsi, and then became friends and family in Rwanda.  The Kikuyu defeated the Arabs, so none of them were enslaved.  They later defeated the British, with the help from other tribes.  The Bakongo have a wonderful religion; where the ancestors are stronger than the deities.  They gave birth to Palo Mayombe and Capoeira.  They also created my favorite creation story.  Which you can read in Indaba My Children.         

Conclusion
The Niger-Congo language family is amazing!!!!  It has a rich history and many popular languages.  It has several unique features.  Niger-Congo people are amazing in Africa, Americas, and Europe!!!!!!  They created many sweet religions.  Most Haitians are descendants of Niger-Congo people.  They are the greatest Caribbean people; because they made Vodou and with it's help freed themselves from tranny.  The only people to do it in the world.
