We continue our survey of Divine and Demonic Merfolk from mythologies and religions from across the world. Today we look at African deities, many of whom crossed the Atlantic with the TransAtlantic Slave Trade and after that, we look at the... Interesting Deities that arose among the ancient Greeks.

Simbi: The Water and Nature Spirit in African Kongo Spirituality and Hoodoo

Simbi, also known as Cymbee or Sim’bi, represents a fascinating aspect of traditional African Kongo spirituality and Hoodoo practices. These mystical beings hold a special place in the beliefs of the Bakongo people and have also influenced spiritual practices in the African American community, particularly in the American South. Originating within Kongo-speaking communities, the word “simbi” is…

In the course of my ministry, I encountered a student from Africa working in the sciences who was worried about demons affecting her body, what has since become known as “opression” by demons. She told me that her family had been under a curse for generations, and she was probably the one to inherit it. I told her that she should be free from demonic influences because of her baptism, unless she let the demons into her life. Baptism frees us from the devil and anything like curses. 

She said, “well, our [Catholic] family went to a witch doctor to see about having the curse removed...” 

Which is to treat with demons. 

So that explained her experiences.

Tag yourself!

{made with the Ancestors and Great Spirits of the African Diaspora in mind, here's what I associate with each day of the week and the children of the diaspora born therein:

Monday's child is fair of face

Tuesday's child is full of grace

Wednesday's child is full of woe

Thursday's child has far to go

Friday's child is loving and giving

Saturday's child works hard for a living

And the child born on the Sabbath day

Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.

Monday: masters of finding new roads and moving forwards, tearing down blockages, trailblazers and warriors. Artists of all kinds, writers, poets, singers.

Tuesday: embodiment of thunderstorms, winds, omens, they're powerful conjurers with hot hands, always busy, always moving. Often times scholars, historians.

Wednesday: defenders, protectors, of humanity and nature as a whole. Warrior spirits at their core, but also great diviners and mediums.

Thursday: eloquent muses of the arts of love and war alike, great beauties who lead armies with equal charm and force. Sweetening, love and luck workings come easy to them.

Friday: personification of abundance and status. A commanding presence. Building legacy, great manifestors and conjurers, specially for work and finances.

Saturday: guardians of waters and the beyond. Community leaders, gifted healers, divine messengers. Carrying all the wisdom of the Elders and Ancestors.

Sunday: priests and priestesses that defy status quo, very old Ancestors coming back to reshape and rebirth reality. They will enter your life and purge every aspect of it.}

Bakongo spiritual protections influenced African American yard decorations. In Central Africa, Bantu-Kongo people decorated their yards and entrances to doorways with baskets and broken shiny items to protect from evil spirits and thieves.

This practice is the origin of the bottle tree in Hoodoo. Throughout the American South in African American neighborhoods, there are some houses that have bottle trees and baskets placed at entrances to doorways for spiritual protection against conjure and evil spirits.

In addition, nkisi culture influenced jar container magic. An African American man in North Carolina buried a jar under the steps with water and string in it for protection. If someone conjured him the string would turn into a snake. The man interviewed called it inkabera
