FIRST EARTH
Traditional Healing
Aisha Edwards
is an initiated Kontomblé healer and diviner through Elder Malidoma Patrice Somé’s Indigenous Spirit Technologies, an initiatory series rooted in Dagara cosmology and practices. The Dagara are a West African indigenous people whose traditional homelands include territories of Burkina Faso, Cote D’Ivoire and Ghana.
The Kontomblé
They are a group of immaterial beings, often described as little people, who are playful, mercurial, loving, silly and profoundly powerful. They are an ally to humans in their role as manifestors for the divine in the material world.
In Kontomble divination,
the initiate acts as a channel for the Kontomble, ancestors and plant/medicine spirits to speak through. Often, these immaterial beings provide prescriptions to address the spiritual concerns impacting psychological, emotional, social and behavioral problems the seeker is attempting to address Traditional healing utilizes seemingly simple tools and methods. The actions performed on or around the body are symbolic actions crossing the divide between worlds to address the harm on the immaterial side. In this way, the actions and the practitioner are neither simple nor reflective of the interdimensional methodology of healing. Please be aware - Traditional healing is not a replacement for mental health therapy.
First Earth is named after
Elder Malidoma’s intentions.
At the guidance of the tribe’s elders and Elder Malidoma’s own predetermined destiny, he carried these practices to the colonized west to bring the wisdom of the original instructions for right relationship with the earth and other than human, for healing from colonized ways and to awaken the indigiosity in each person.
