The African State

Magico-Religious practises and Abyssinia.



One of the joyous pasttimes of White South Africans in many ways, appears in all to be truly about actually, simply writing crap about Africa. And as in saying that, Africa's problems in many ways are rather even, easy to point out actually, but not too easy either, to directly explain in all truly {and as with saying that, the oft used road of talking about Africa's problems from a 'cause and effect' perspective, is in all ways even, rather inconclusive (and as with stating truly even that, African cultures in all, have more complex logic within them, than the oft used 'cause and effect' and by the Western World too actually}. In all ways truly, Africa's problems {and as with the 'State of Africa' too that is}, truly speak of the attempts in all, by Africans, to Psychologically and Culturally understand themselves in all truly {and as in saying that, Africans are in general are actually more Emotionally Healthy in all truly, and as compared to Westerners that is, who do believe in all again that, all problems faced in all truly (and within Africa that is), can be dealt with from a 'cause and effect' perspective in all truly (and as with the rather false belief in all that, Africans are rather in all again, rather simple minded, or even truly again, totally non-sophisticated in their ways actually, and barring African Humour too that is)} {and something in all again, that has found its ways into modern Egyptology too actually, and as with it in all truly even, presenting Egyptian Culture perhaps, as with it truly in all again, Intelligent in its ways actually, but lacking in all truly even, in the sophistication perhaps, that many in all again, do associate with olden Europe for instance (and in all too that is)}.

In many ways, when one does hear of African Rhythms, Soul, and Spirit in all too even, one should take it from the perspective in all that, strange things in all again, do actually happen and occur and not only within our daily lives that is {and as with one perhaps, cutting ones finger with a knife unexpectedly}, but also truly in all again, do occur more frequently within Africa, than in most other places of the World too really.



In knowing this, is to next in all again perhaps, speak of the rather strange even, topic in all truly, of Magico-Religious practises in all that is {and as with they even, having emerged in all, from Ancient Egypt too actually}. That the Egyptians in all, and as with they not only living in very much Desert like conditions actually {and as with the Sahara too even, said to be a true Desert in all really}, is to in all again say that, they were very aware that, strange things in all again, did happen within Africa that is, and very much Unexpectedly too that is {and as with speak too even, of Egyptian Magical practises in all that is} {and practises too, geared towards solving the Unexpected in all again, or truly even, the very fact that they did live in Desert-like conditions in all truly}. In all, the very fact that the Unexpected happens more regularly in Africa {and as with an early death too that is}, has actually had a big impact even, on shaping the natures of the peoples found within Africa, and as with saying too that {and speak too of a general African Humour that is}, that Africans in all again (and including Abyssinians too even), do expect the Unexpected in all truly, to happen more regularly in all, and not only to themselves, but very much also, to those around them too actually {and speak even of popular beliefs in all again, and by a many an African too actually, that it is truly best perhaps, to not know rather well even, other Africans in all too really}.



There is however perhaps, another way in all truly even, in discerning in all again, differences between Africa and Abyssinia {and as in stating truly that, while both do suffer from the Unexpected regularly, the nature of the Unexpected in all though, does differ in all truly and in both places too that is, and does in all again perhaps, determine in all truly even, African Magical beliefs (and African Magico-Religious practises too actually)}.

To get a better picture of this is to say that, Magical beliefs in Africa (and alongside the Unexpected too that is) {and minus Abyssinia too in all}, are associated in all again, with the Crocodile in all truly (and as a rather highly Spiritual Creature that is), a belief in the Magical properties of Trees found within Africa, and finally even, speak of African Waterbodies in all truly {and as with they housing even, the most strangest of Spirits actually (and including, the Mami Wata for instance perhaps)} {and as in saying too that, African Trees in all again, are actually known to house Medicinal properties, capable in all truly again, of Instant Cures of all kinds actually}.

This though, is not exactly or apparently true for Abyssinia {'the Savannah', 'the Plains', and the 'Arid areas' too actually}, where in all again, Magical beliefs and Magico-Religious practises in all, are actually in many ways truly even {and as with some Angleterre Literature that is}, associated in all again, with the Scorpion, Bird life in Abyssinia, and finally truly even, Spiders/Tarantulas in all too really {and as with saying even that, while European 'Witchcraft'/Sorcery does have Egyptian origins in all truly, and African (minus Abyssinia) 'Withcraft'/Sorcery is of Nubian/Libyan origins actually, other forms of 'Witchcraft'/Sorcery in all even, and oft associated in all again with America perhaps, are actually the kind in all truly, to be seen and found actually, within Abyssinia (Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia), and in all too that is} {and as especially too, with regards to speak of 'Witchcraft' in all again, and as often associated with Birdlife for example that is}.
