WATER ~ CONSCIOUSNESS HISTORICAL RECORDS OF WATER-BEINGS Beings who lived in Water, half-humanoid and half-fish, have been credited with the founding and origins of many civilizations on Earth. WATER-BEINGS have been described as responsible for teaching and assisting humanity in areas such as agriculture, arts, cosmology, laws, mathematics, temple-building and music. Robert Temple in his book "The Sirius Mystery" (1997, Destiny Books, Rochester, pp.273-315) offers an extensive research on the records of fish-tailed water creatures in past civilizations, with particular emphasis on the modern 'Dogon Tribe' of Mali, Africa. Therefore, we will only give an overview of the wide distribution of the records available and we refer the reader to Temple's book for details. FUXI & CANG JING (or NU GUA).

There are about six ways of understanding most oral societies. ART : What is painted in relation to what else gives clues as to the meaning of the concepts in a mythology of a culture. pp 25-29 Sacred Institutions : What is sacred, what rituals are performed at important times of the year, or performed at important occassions like the changing of leadership, or birth and death of people give substantial clues as to the belief systems of people.

LINK TO US The Gods Of Africa African Gods The current Top Ten: ELEGUA SHANGO BUMBA ESHU ABASSI OLORUN OBATALA ORISHA ANANSI BABALU-AYE More Info Introduction African mythology covers a very large area. There are so many regions, languages, tribes, cultures and imperialist crossovers that the sheer diversity of prevailing Gods would seem overwhelming if they didn't follow a set of familiar themes. African Creator Gods seem to follow a distinctive pattern - they are all extremely dissatisified with their creations. There is much shaking of heads, turning away in sorrow and avoidance of contact. The poor humans are mostly left to fend for themselves. Attempts to regain contact with the Gods by building a heavenly ladder are the subject of many an unhappy legend. This sense of Godly disappointment can't have done much for the average African culture's ego. Is there a widespread inferiority complex at work here? But while the major Gods sit in Heaven wringing their hands in despair, the lesser Gods and nature spirits are very willing to take an active part in Earthly life. These are mostly into hunting and other practical subjects - with food, sex and booze as popular as always.

18. 98.02.03: African Myths And What They Teach african mythology is a logical area for study in my classroom since at least As in most cultures african mythology is filled with stories of animals. http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1998/2/98.02.03.x.html

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home African Myths and What They Teach by Roberta Mazzucco Contents of Curriculum Unit 98.02.03: Narrative Background What is Myth? Creation and Death Myths ... To Guide Entry The unit entitled ”African Myths and What They Teach” is written specifically for students in grade three and can be extended down to grade two or up to grades four and five. It could be easily connected to a social studies unit on Africa that would be a part of the third grade curriculum on Communities. Ultimately I hope that this unit will introduce my students to some new and exciting literature. African mythology is a logical area for study in my classroom since at least half of my classroom is African American and others in the class share partial ties to that heritage. While this is not the only justification for selecting this material, I hope that it will instill interest and connection with many of my students. At first I had hoped that many of the stories would be available in children’s books; however, most are in collections and probably the teacher will have to duplicate the myths and/or rewrite some to suit his/her needs. I assume that in using the unit most teachers will be introducing and reading the stories for the children.

On this page you will find traditional African stories woven around a pantheon of gods and mythical figures but also legends, fables and more general subjects that played a part in African mythology and African life. Earth Jok - concept of the devine Jok (Nilotic: Kenya, Uganda, Sudan). Jok is one of the most truly African concepts of the divine. It is a word, found with variations in all the Nilotic languages, as Jwok, Juok, Joagh, Joghi or Joogi. lt is not always translated with the same English word, because the dictionary writers had different philosophical ideas themselves, which demonstrates the power of the spirit that we call Jok. Jok is God and the spirits, the gods, the holy ghost, the beings from the other world. It can be vague and precise, good or frightening, beneficent or dangerous, one or a multitude, legion.
