Yenkassa: Untold Stories By Unfamiliar Voices in Chengdu, China! 

The "Yenkassa Heritage Wall" is being installed in preparation for an art exhibition. The selected Adinkra symbols and a play on ligatures from Chinese calligraphy you see on the wall is an interpretation of the poem "Freedom" by Langston Hughes. Our focus was on heritage, a core Yenkassa message. 

Yenkassa Heritage Wall (collaboration between Matey Odonkor and Helen Zhai).

Exhibition info: 07/22-10/22/2023. Jiang’An Riverside, Tianfu Greenway, Chengdu, China.

Aya Quick wall painted few weeks ago in Amsterdam This wall is inspired by Aya simbol and meaning. Aya is an important Adinkra symbol in Akan culture that represents endurance and resourcefulness. Aya can also mean ‘I’m not afraid of you’ or ‘I’m independent of you’, representing strength, defiance against oppression, and independence. Many people choose to wear Aya drawings or tattoos, claiming that they can feel their power and inner strength. A person who wears the Aya symbol suggests that he has endured many difficulties in life and face various obstacles which he/she has overcome. . #murals #afrika #adinkra #akan #kori #maori #illustration #resourcefulness #endurace #afrikainspired #masks #innerself #murales #straat #painting #skount #mustlearn https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckf2RicIGu3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pride

Adrinka Symbol: Funtunfunefu Denkyemfunefu- Two conjoined Crocodiles share one stomach but fight over food.

I would not call him. He would not call me. 

We both wanted the same meat, but it could not be taken with the same mouth. Our teeth were too far apart,

Sharp,

We could not see where our bodies were joined.

My 2023 New Year's Tarot Reading

As expected, I did a tarot reading to help me focus a bit on what I can expect in 2023. Now, I do a Witch's New Year tarot reading for Samhain, which I feel is a bit more detailed and insightful than the calendar new year's spreads. But my intuition won't let me pass by any type of new year without dedicating a tarot reading. (I'll do another one for the Lunar New Year too.)

Anyway, I did find this one to be fairly insightful too, and thought I'd share it here.

This is the spread I used (found here):

As I mentioned in a previous blog, I have been sick for the past several weeks, so I've taking things fairly slowly compared to my usual routine. That kindness is not only for my health, but also for common sense. Until I can get a handle on my situation (it involves high blood pressure), I'm viewing this illness as a sign that I really need to pause, take stock and slow down ... not just at this time, but perhaps for all of 2023.

But onto the reading ...

You can tell I thought this reading was extra special because I did it on the floor, instead of on my bed.

The other deck you see there on the right are my Adinkra oracle cards. In addition to the tarot spread, I decided to pull an oracle to represent what my ancestors want me to remember, learn and keep in mind throughout 2023. More on that at the end.

Here is what the New Year tarot spread told me:

Theme of the New Year

2 of Wands

Interpretation: A new world is calling your name and you are confidently stepping forward, ready to see what's next. Remember, not all those who wander are lost.

What I need to let go from last year

The Hanged Woman

Interpretation: Stop sacrificing your time and values to please other people. Putting a lot of effort and energy into a situation is wearing you down. There are other options, and they will reveal themselves to you as you keep going toward your path.

What I should bring with me from last year

9 of Wands

Interpretation: Throughout this journey, you have accumulated experience and gained enough wisdom to handle anything that is thrown your way. Trust in your strength and power to make it to the end.

Obstacles or challenges I may face in the new year

8 of Swords

Interpretation: All the things that may keep you up at night will be your biggest challenge until you take back what is yours. Work your way out of emotional lethargy. That is the first step in meeting any challenge you face.

How to overcome these obstacles

8 of Wands

Interpretation: Progress is a process. Harness every window of opportunity with swift and focused movement. Fueled by your passion, you will pick up inspiration along the way. Within structure, there is freedom and room for self-expression and creativity.

What is my goal for the new year

8 of Pentacles

Interpretation: Hustle, grit and craftsmanship will lead you to your goal of turning your passion into artistry. The culmination of all your experience, education and insight form a painter's palette to designing the life of your dreams. You're up to the challenge, just take your time and know the picture will come together day by day.

How to achieve this goal

King of Wands

Interpretation: With finesse and intention, you will light a fire to your ideas and vision. Create goals for yourself with clarity and imagination, and don't stop until you get where you want to go. Unleash the offbeat weirdo that you've got inside, and be absolutely unapologetic in your pursuit of the stellar.

External influences affecting me this year

7 of Swords

Interpretation: This is a time to be discreet and protect yourself, as confiding in others can bring more harm than good. Work smarter, not harder, and be strategic in your course of action. Be grateful and resourceful, and take only what you need.

My mantra for the year

Queen of Cups

Interpretation: Set empathetic boundaries and your artistic efforts will flow with ease. Healing past wounds with kindness and self-expression will be your gift.

Overall, I really like this reading. I especially took note of the three 8s that appeared as well. I pulled an 8 of Swords, 8 of Wands and an 8 of Pentacles. And if you're inclined to pay attention to Angel Numbers (I'm not sure if I do, but I'm trying to stay open-minded.), the 888 implies -- "Something very good is coming your way. Good news, good times, good relationships, good health, and many blessings" *and* "Everything is falling into place. just the way it's meant to be. Financial abundance is on its way to you. The universe is letting you know you're successful."

As for my Adinkra oracle card message, I pulled this:

The "Mpatapo" adinkra symbol is the guiding message I'm meant to follow throughout the upcoming year. I interpret this to mean that I need to continue to work on my journey involving shadow work and healing through forgiveness and reconciliation. More importantly, that forgiveness should be focused on myself just as much as it could of others.

I need to let go of the blame I place on myself for not being what I dreamed of so I can step into the reality of who I truly am. I deserve compassion for myself as much as anyone else deserves it from me.

I’m interesting in using a rune-like system for divination but I don’t want to use the Norse or Celtic runes. I’m also thinking about starting a bone throwing kit, and if it’s only a few symbols, I can include them together. I don’t know if it makes sense to use something like the Adinkra symbols since I’ve gravitated to those for almost a decade.
