    Plus I see how massively successful this year's Vodun Days was! Beautiful to see what is happening in Benin....so glad as an African I am witnessing an era of Africans waking up and reclaiming their greatness. To see a Head of State unapologetic about celebrating his indigenous African spirituality alongside his cabinet.......unheard of and then showcasing it to the world????? Same thing is happening with Sufi Islam in Senegal, a very different version of Islam than what is mainstream throughout Africa.

    Yes! Love Ouidah and cannot wait to experience the rich cultural and spiritual history there. All indigenous spiritual knowledge systems venerate the snake. Eastern spiritual traditions including Buddhism and Hinduism teach the importance of nurturing kundalini energy, indigenous American spirituality has the same principle...the snake as the representation of growth, evolution, transformation...ability to change. Our ancestors were the original keepers of this wisdom going back to ancient Khemet and Maat. Notice how spotlessly clean Ouidah is, and when you remove snakes from an ecosystem what happens? It is over run by filth and vermin.

      This is an interesting word WORSHIP!.. I have see too many Africans GLOBALLY Worship jesus who NEVER SAID WORSHIP ME!.. Also far too many Africans GLOBALLY worship the caucAsian and NO BIBLE VERSES EVER instruct us to worship the image of a colonizer/mzungu/caucAsian. Now the confusion arrives when they say: I'm not worshipping a white man as God Almighty. Even when they raise their hands and say I worship you🤷🏽‍♂️ so what is worship then🤔. Knowledge and reverence is often called worship. Such as calling our ancestors SUN Worshipers because they comprehended the importance of the Light while the invading colonizer is given cancer by that same light, so they have no value for the light of this world. Reverence and knowledge does not make one a snake worshiper, though we are taught to use that label.

      @QueenDesta the word worship is interesting. Because we know far more about God's Sun created in Genesis 1:3, the WOLVES/colonizer/mzungu/caucAsian called us Sun worshipers.. 🤣 The Bible NEVER says worship the coloniser/caucAsian male image, yet they worship the white man and teach God's Childre/Africans to worship the caucaAsian male image INSTEAD of worshiping the God who made us with Brown Dirt in Genesis 2:7. Knowledge about, and Reverence for, is not worship... Even though we have been taught to label it: worship.

    Christianity for Caucasian, Islam for Arabs, Hindu for Asians.
    Black peoples should ask why none Black people names are not in Bible or Quran?
    Before the arrivals of all these foreign religions which brought many problems in sub Sahara Africa region we Black peoples do worshiping almighty God with Black race religion just like this one in this video.
    However both Caucasians and Arabs, Asians worshiping this method Before the Modernised and built house of worshiping.
    God never built any houses for worshiping but humans.
    Therefore Black race can also Modernised by building houses for worshiping almighty God.
    Black peoples be wise to worship almighty God with Black race natural religions.
