Then Queen Afua summons us to enter the Nine Gateways of Initiation, where she blesses us with the exact tools we need to bring our beings into true harmony with the earth and the cosmos. Through extraordinary meditations, affirmations, and rituals rooted in ncient Egyptian temple teachings, Queen Afua teaches us how to love and rejoice in our bodies by spiritualizing the words we speak; the foods we eat; the spaces we live and work in; the beauty we create in our lives; the healing energy we transmit to self and others; the relationships we nurture; the service we offer; and the transcendent woman spirit we manifest. With love, wisdom, and passion, Queen Afua guides us to accept our mission and our mantle as Sacred Women-to heal ourselves, the generations of women in our families, our communities, and our world.

C H A P T E R 1KHAMITIC NUBIAN PHILOSOPHYTHEY SAY OUR WAY IS DEAD.THEY SAY OUR WAY IS NO MORE.THAT THE NILE VALLEY LEGACYALL ENDED THOUSANDSOF YEARS AGO.BUT WE ARE HERE,AND WE REMEMBER!My people are the Elders of the earth. They are the originators of whatis commonly known as 'Greek philosophy,' which is actually the ancientKhamitic (Egyptian) way of life. 'Khamit' refers to the original NubianMaatian culture of the Hapi (Nile) Valley Afrakans. The spelling of'Af-ra- ka' literally means 'flesh [af] and soul [ka] of the hidden Sun[ra].' The more common spelling, 'Africa,' comes from the Arabic wordfirk or frik, which means separate, divide, or conquer. Like 'Africa,''Egypt' is a name imposed on ancient Khamit by foreigners. The Khamiticpeople are the spiritual heads, teachers, motivators, and guides of theplanet ordained by NTR, the One Most High Creator.The people of ancient Khamit had much to share thousands of years ago.We descendants and perpetuators of that sacred tradition have much toshare today. The hotep (peaceful) ways and original holistic nature ofthe Khamitic people is a model that, if properly adapted, has theability to save Planet Earth from mass destruction. It is this path,this way of life, that has so deeply inspired me and become the root ofmy life's work.The ancient ways of the Khamitic people can teach all people how tobecome truly humane again. The Khamitic Masters came to this realizationby purifying their lives. Today, as we purify our own lives, we growcloser to our divine selves, and this transformation can bring us to astate of constant bliss, peace, and wellness.Sacred Woman is the entranceway I offer into that state ofenlightenment. Following the path of body/mind/spirit purification canbring us to the place where we will be touched by and united with thegreat-great-great-grandparents of the earth--the Ancestors.My Ancestors learned how to combine and unite the elements of earth,air, fire, water, and spirit, and they continue to teach us theirmethods through the carvings and inscriptions on their temple walls.They bring us the gift of the laying on of hands through the efforts ofAst (Isis) and her sister Nebt-Het (Nephthys) to restore life to thebroken body of Asar (Osiris), who became a symbol of resurrection forall humanity.Contrary to popular belief and ignorance, my Ancestors, the Black peopleof the Black land of the Nile Valley, did not worship many gods andgoddesses. My Afrakan Ancestors viewed NTR, the Creator, as theundifferentiated One/All-Divine from which all life emanates. However,NTR has many wondrous divine attributes, and all of thesemanifestations--the NTRU--are aspects of Its wholeness. Consider, for amoment, such divine emanations as Maat, the aspect of balance, harmony,truth, law, righteousness, and reciprocity; Het-Hru (Hathor), the aspectof divine love and beauty; and Nefer Atum, the Sacred Lotus,representing the highest ascension and unlimited potential. Heru (Horus)the falcon represents victory, the aspect that we can call upon to flyabove all obstacles; Tehuti (Thoth) embodies the aspect of divineintelligence, and so on.The Khamites, my ancestors, believed that within the heavenly realm thepresence of the Divine is reflected in the balanced worship of NTR--theMother/Father Creator, where both aspects in One are given equalrespect. By contrast, most present-day Western religions recog-nize onlythe male priest and worship only a male God in a heaven of male angels.In the ancient Afrakan spiritual tradition, there is deep respect forthe Mother Creator and the female priestess as well as for the FatherCreator and the male priest.The Khamites lived the philosophy of Maat (harmony) and had respect,reverence, and honor for NTR and Its divine manifestation in man andwoman and all Nature. They saw Nature and their environment as anexpression of NTR, and an inspiration for self-healing--from which my'Heal Thyself ' philosophy comes.The Khamites used the element of water for purification rites throughbaptisms, fasting, and enemas. They used the element of earth in theform of healing foods, herbology, and aromatherapy to purify andrejuvenate the Body Temple.My Ancestors used the element of air-- breath--through what was calledAri Ankh Ka, now known as Hatha Yoga. The various sacred movements andposes that have been depicted on the walls of temples and pyramids werecarved by my people thousands of years ago. Their records have outlastedman-made misinterpretations and outlived the libraries burned byforeigners who could not comprehend or appreciate the spiritual heightsand advancement of my people.To be recharged and purified, my people used the element of fire inrituals based on the powerful rays of Atn-Ra (the Sun), which blazedover the vast desert of Khamit. They used fire foods to cleanse, such asradishes, leeks, onions, and cayenne. They burned frankincense andmyrrh, cinnamon and other spices, herbs, and essential oils and usedthem to smudge their bodies to destroy negative spiritual entitiesattracted to the Body Temple.Today, we only need to look to the source of this knowledge as presentedin the Forty-two Laws of Maat.FORTY-TWO LAWS OF MAAT I will not do wrong.
