*The scarab beetle (khepra) rolls balls of dung across the ground, an act that the KMT (Egyptians) saw as a symbol of the forces that move the sun across the sky. Khepri was thus a solar deity. Young dung beetles, having been laid as eggs within the dung ball, emerge from it fully formed. Therefore, Khepri also represented creation and rebirth, and she was specifically connected with the rising sun and the mythical creation of the world. The Egyptians connected her name with the Egyptian language verb Kheper, meaning "develop" or "come into being". Kheper, or (Xeper) is a transcription of an ancient Egyptian word meaning to come into being, to change, to occur, to happen, to exist, to bring about, to create, etc.

You GROWW Girl- Teach A Girl Heal A Nation

 

"We must teach our youth true knowledge of self. to empower them with a legacy of wealth." Nuta Beqsu Amen-Ra

 

As we grow into the knowledge of our great Aboriginal Ancestral Heritage, let us embrace our Beautiful Ebony Indigo Girls!

We must Love them, feed them healthy foods, teach them positive activities and exercise, experiences and positive values, knowledge of self and Identity.

In my humble opinion, we must focus on cultivating the inner standing of Mind Body and Spirit within our girls and young women. This is why I established an Aboriginal Indigo Centered parent and girls group called "You G.R.O.W.W. Girls"- Teach a girl, heal a nation.

As souls having a human experience, our Ebony Indigo girls of will grow to be our next generation of family and Community. We're planting the seeds of STE-A-M into our girls. In their play dates, excursions, Workshops special events. They will use project-based objectives to learn etiquette, Urban Agriculture, Financial literacy, Consumer Sav, Entreprenurial pursuits, home Economics, Minor Home Repair, Automotive, technology, electronics, carpentry, and Chemistry experiences.

This is a component of Amen Ankh Akademy https://amen-ankh.blogspot.com



We teach each of our young girls self-knowledge - through a RITES OF PASSAGE to understand the power of their Mind Spirit and Bodies, as a sacred temple of life, and to return their self-esteem and self-respect, in their knowledge of their talents and gifts, and an inner-standing of their Aboriginal heritage, not only for each individual girl and her family but for her nation.

At Amen Par Ankh our Motto is: "Teach a Girl- Heal a Nation."
We Celebrate Life with a group called You G.R.O.W.W. Girls. G.R.O.W.W. Stands for Gaining Resilience, Opportunity, Wellness, and Wealth. We teach young women using an African Centered Cultural perspective, how to live virtuously, practically, and with integrity. How to withstand and endure with resilience, the tests, and trials of life. As we teach young women about the natural world, domestic engineering, arts and crafts, healing therapies, Financial Literacy, and Consumer savvy, we, in fact, expose them to applied careers in STE-A-M (Science, Technology Engineering, Industrial Arts and Mathematics). These young women will learn from STEAM professionals who will serve as mentors/Tutors, and will expose them to careers in Information Technology, computers, biology, and ecology etc..  The success and the future health and wellness of our African Descendant neighborhoods and communities, hedge within the wellness and healthy environment of each of our girls. For it is within the nutrition, knowledge, and cultivation of the minds, body, the spirit of our young girls, and the health and wellness that will disseminate and build the success of future families and communities. We will read about and meet African American Women as positive role models, Tutors, and mentors. We encourage young women to become entrepreneurs in home cottage industries and non-conventional careers in STEAM- Technology, computers, biology, and ecology. Our young girls will learn Plant Identification of herbs and food nutrition. Teaching them to grow their own foods and learn about their own health and wellness. We invite you to join us and support our youth. Feel free to contact us for our women's circles and study groups.

We are Aboriginal Indigo people. The oldest people on the planet. Our Ancient Ancestors Traveled the planet to establish civilizations. Our stories were recorded in stone, written in hieroglyphs to be read as an ark of knowledge.

If you would like to volunteer or assist or enroll your young girls between the ages of 7 and 17, and Mentors 18 and up. Please Contact: Queen-Ma Nuta Beqsu: 816-281-7704 or email us: amen.parankh@gmail.com

I am a natural Woman and love It!

REAL SOLUTIONS

*We must Re-Member that we are Divine Souls having a human experience

*We must know that our bodies are the sacred temple of our soul and a vessel for the holy spirit of life. *We are the children of a collective universe, and we have a higher state of divine purpose and consciousness.




*The greatest thing we can do for our bodies is to make them into a Spirit temple and use them to glorify our higher selves.



Using the word “temple” to describe our body as a dwelling, conveys the idea that our bodies are the shrine, or the sacred place, in which the Spirit not only lives, but is revered, and honored. Therefore, we must acknowledge that we have human rights and choices on how we behave, think, speak, eat. What we let into the temple through our eyes and ears becomes critically important as well, for every thought, word and deed we expose our bodies to.

*We must choose to live in inner peace and health.






*As Afrikan Americans, what we put in our mouths is essential. So it is imperative that we practice healthy eating of balanced meals that largely include fresh fruits, vegetables.

*Fresh air and exercise should also be practiced as a discipline of our body temple. living naturally and close to the earth is the healthiest way, far away from a worldly disconnect from nature.
It is also important to practice good hygiene.




Moving as women into virtuous living is a step in the right direction. Creating home cottage businesses, growing our own foods, Learning Arts and Crafts, Home Economics, Life Skills, Basic Business, and fiscal fitness skill are important. Practicing culinary arts and even trying some homemade cosmetics can be fun, positive, and rewarding.

It is important that our young Black Princesses know their value, worth, and purpose and that they have self-esteem, etiquette, and knowledge of their cultural history. We must return our women to be the Queen Mother Goddesses that they truly are before the world and the earth.

The Equinox is when the hours in the day and the nights are equal. Our sunrise is earlier since the winter solstice, and nightfall comes later. The Sun is warming the earth. New life is beginning. Plants are sprouting. Trees are blossoming. Birds are returning, and Winds are softening. For us in the Northern Hemisphere, people are enjoying the warmer days of springtime. Meanwhile, south of the equator, Autumn begins. So the Winter Solstice in December paralleled and marked the Summer Solstice in the southern hemisphere. The sunlight will increase each day, until we reach the Summer Solstice for the Northern Hemisphere- which will mark the Longest Day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Shortest day of the year (Winter solstice), below the Equator.

Baobab Tree Of Life

 

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2019 
Baobab Tree of Life THE BAOBAB TREE OF LIFE! 
There’s something sacred about trees. 
 
FOR QUITE A WHILE, I HAVE BEEN FASCINATED WITH THE IMAGE OF THE BAOBAB TREE. TREES AND PLANT LIFE HAS ALWAYS BEEN UPPERMOST IN MY MIND. 







The Baobab Tree reminds me of the Story of Ausar. 

  
http://amen-parankh.blogspot.com/2016/12/the-ausar-resurrection.html 
 

Goddess Nut, the mother of the Stars, created 4 days at the end of the year by giving birth to 4 children, Ausar (December 21st), Auset his wife (December 22nd), Sistar Het Heru (December 23rd) and his Brother Set (December 24th). Ausar became a benevolent ruler of the planet, who brought great abundance and prosperity. He created Heaven on Earth. Set, the baby brother was very spoiled and selfish. He grew jealous of Ausar's popularity and thought he could steal his brother's kingdom and fame.
One day, Ausar and Auset had a grand wedding feast. Set had a gold-lined Chest carved for Ausar's wedding gift. He convinced Ausar to collaborate in a magic trick and had Ausar lay inside the heavy Golden Chest. Set immediately locked Ausar alive in the Chest and dump him into the Nile River! Distraught, in grief and horror, Auset was never able to consummate her marriage! She ran away and went to the Nile River, looking for her husband until days turned into weeks and weeks into months.

 
  

 


Even in death, Ausar made his presence known in abundance and prosperity! Auset finally learned that Ausar's wooden chest had grown into a great Baobab tree of Life right off a bank of the Nile river. All of the lands around the tree grew prosperous and abundant. A farmer built his compound and community around the Baobab tree. The tree was so large, part of the trunk was carved into the farmer's bedchambers, where his newborn sun was born. So, Auset humbled herself and was hired as a nursemaid for the Farmer's wife. She finally convinced the farmer's family to dig down to the roots of the tree to remove her husband's body.

 
 

 
 

Ausar symbolizes all things green and growing.
Ausar represents the morning sunrise.
Ausar represents the 1st day of the Winter Solstice (Dec. 21st)
Ausar also represents the greatest version of ourselves- to endure and overcome all obstacles.
Ausar is anything in nature that lives, then dies, then is reborn.
Ausar also represents Every discipline and thriving achievement manifesting from humanity, found all over the globe!

 
 

 
 

This is a deeply spiritual principle caught in Our-Story of Ancient Afrikan Intelligent design and the foundation of all civilizations. The principle is this:
In life, you can go through some difficult times. In order to change the circumstances, a “new you” (Heru) has to be reborn. The “old you” (Set) has to die and it might even break you up. But even in the death of the “old you” life contains the seed germ (Ausar) of the “new you (Heru).” You may not see the germination stage while underground but then you are resurrected and reborn into a new and stronger self.

In other words, Life/Shift Happens- the rotten things (fertilizer) you go through in life helps you grow.

 
 


Religions have written about trees.
The story of the tree of life begins with two trees in a garden: the Tree of Life, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The pivotal event in the book comes when men were hanged and lynched on trees.
If you understand the trees, you understand the story of life.
I was introduced to the baobab tree in the story of the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint Exupery.
The symbolism and allegory of the tree is rich with meaning and helps me to think of metaphysical axes.

Sayings from Ghana


There are many myths and legend about the Baobab tree:

One legend of the Baobab tree describes what happens if you are never satisfied with what you have:

"The baobab was among the first trees to appear on the land. Next came the slender, graceful palm tree. When the baobab saw the palm tree, it cried out that it wanted to be taller.
Then the beautiful flame tree appeared with its red flower and the baobab was envious for flower blossoms.
When the baobab saw the magnificent fig tree, it prayed for fruit as well. God became tired of the complaints and so yanked it up by its roots and placed it upside down to keep it quiet."
All the animals were alarmed, and so was the huge tree. For after that, the magnificent tree only grew leaves once a year.
The other months the roots seemed to bend and grow towards the sky.



“Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky; we fell them down and turn them into paper, that we may record our emptiness.” Khalil Gibran


 
 

The baobab is one of nature's remarkable creations and has evolved to make maximum use of the scarce resources around it, just like I imagine the early church to have been.

It is among the largest and longest-lived trees on earth capable of growing to 98 feet tall and 36 - 60 feet wide.

It can survive lengthy periods of drought with its massive sponge-like trunk that can be hollowed out to provide shelter.

 
 

 
 When in leaf, its fruit provides Vitamin C and the leaves Vitamin A and it has more calcium than cow's milk.  It provides shade for all living things in the sub-Saharan heat

For millennia, the baobab tree has provided a Market Place and a meeting place for dialogue,
sharing stories and debates of critical issues and ideas.


 

 

It can undergo a huge amount of mutilation, and still continue to thrive and heal.  
 

 For some cultures, it is the tree under which man was born. 
 

It is a symbol of endurance, conservation, creativity, ingenuity, and dialogue. 
 

The great baobab tree — the tree of rest and resolution. 



The five leaves of the Baobab Tree resemble an outstretched hand, hence its Latin name Adansonia Digitata, as if reaching out in friendship. 
 
Baobabs create their own ecosystem with hollowed-out trunks, leaves, foliage,  nectar, fruit, and bark providing habitats for many different creatures. This tree thrives in diversity. 
 

The baobab's bark, leaves, fruit, and trunk are all used. The bark of the baobab is used for cloth and rope, the leaves for condiments and medicines, while the fruit, called "monkey bread", is eaten. Sometimes people live inside of the huge trunks, and bush-babies live in the crown.

It is not very often that you see a Baobab tree picture with leaves on the tree, usually only seen in a short rainy season for a couple of months. 

Some baobabs can store up to 120,000 gallons of water from the rainy season to sustain themselves through the dry times. 

 
When the long dry season returns the trees drop their leaves.
