Thank you for 30years of HLLN Justice Work
(Please support our justice work by sharing the press release and legal case here: #Haiti Lawyers Sue the De Facto Haiti Government for Treason https://ezilidanto.com/2023/11/haiti-lawyers-sue-the-de-facto-haiti-government-for-treason/ ;
Thank you everyone for your support during the past year. It is everything. I so greatly appreciated it.
At the Èzili Network and #FreeHaitiMovement, we look forward to your continued participation and reflections to come this new sun year. Bon fèt Makaya. Makaya is our yearly Vodun earth, vegetation, herbal cleansing, cyclical celestial alignments, and cycle of life celebrations.
Makaya is the Vodun culture’s celebration to honor Nature’s plant/herbal bounties and the wondrous life manifesting properties and healing of the multiverses’ Sunlight, Moonlight, Starlight, and Earthlight…and Govi reclaiming from the magnetosphere the irreducible, eternal essence of the Ancestors.
|
The Makaya celebration recognizes the astrological science of the Vodun Ancestors for the end of each Sun Year, marking the stars, sun, moon, earth seasons, celestial alignments and zodiac cycles. Our serpentine, not linear path on planet earth…
“The Solar path – The Danbala-Wedo Serpentine fire is Kundalini rising up the spine, symbolic of the activated DNA… In a macro/micro looped back holographic fractal universe….it’s enlightenment, reaching back to source Anba Dlo, past the Duat, magnetosphere, realms/portals, the quickening (nou tounen teta lan Dlo) and astral travel.” – Èzili Dantò of HLLN/FreeHaiti
We begin the New Year by celebrating Hayti’s 220th year of independence, even while we are under US occupation behind the UN-CoreGroup front and billionaire mafia today. The Ancestors’ achievements guide us to another tomorrow.
Lanmou, fòs, kouraj, sante, pwosperite. Wi nou soufri kriz aprè. Anpil boulvèsman. Okipasyon Meriken, retou blan kolon yo, trayizon restavek yo, tranbleman tè, siklòn, grangou klorox, lavi chè, vòl resous peyi a, e chomaj oksidantal. Men, lan mitan tout sa, GRANMOUN konprann byen: Ginen poze.
Gade andedan w. Wap wè: Ayiti se yon plas ansyen li ye, se tè sakre nou li ye. Nou se Ayisyen. Vèso sakre. Timoun ki fèk parèt sou latè, ki tou ti bebe e ki panse lamò se lavi etenèl pakapab vinn ranse ak Ginen Fran. Si w granmoun, Ayibobo pou ou!
May the spirit of the Bò Kay Manbo Inan Ancestors guide us more in 2024.
Viv Desalin, AbdarayaToya, Jeneral Moyiz, Grann Gitonn, Dede Magrit, Manbo Inan, Grann Brijit and all the warriors at Vètyè. Viv Ayiti. Viv lame endijèn Ayisyen an. Kouwòn pou Dede Defile. Aba okipasyon. Mèsi papa Desalin.
Desalin is Rising!
