This is an artist’s rendition of the cosmic web. That is to say, this is what the cosmos looks like if we zoomed out far enough. And if you’re familiar with what a spiderweb looks like, this is really no different. Here’s why I prefer to use this example to break down the “We are all one” concept: “At the very largest scales, our universe resembles a spider web. Known appropriately as the cosmic web, it is the largest pattern found in nature. Within the cosmic web, there are small, compact clumps of galaxies known as galaxy clusters. Between these clusters are voids — great expanses of almost nothing. And connecting the clusters are the filaments.
The detailed shape of the cosmic web and the intricate structures it contains have a long history. The cosmic web emerged over 13 billion years ago in the earliest days of the universe, when stars and galaxies first lit up the cosmic scene. The present-day structure of the cosmic web tells us about that evolution, and it is closely tied to the properties of normal matter, dark matter, and dark energy. If you change any one of those components, you get a new pattern in the cosmic web.” - Space.com
The reason why I use space concepts to help explain our Earthly manifestation is because it is our foundation, and this is how the Mothers taught me growing up. It is the root architecture of our existence in the physical, manifest sense. And THIS statement is key: “If you change any one of those components, you get a new pattern in the cosmic web.” This is an intricate part of our foundational blueprint to physical embodiment on Earth, in this cosmos. In this universe. As the article states, “it is the largest pattern found in nature,” and humanity has become so disconnected and ignorant of it. How does this apply to the “We Are All One” trope? Well, if there is interconnectedness at the cosmic level that dictates interconnectedness everywhere else, why would it not apply to us on Earth? Why would it not apply to our relationships on Earth? Oneness is observable beyond the Earth, woven into the very architecture of existence from which Earth is created, thus trickling down into our own physical embodiment. So when I hear the phrase “we are all one”, this is what comes to mind: we are all interconnected. How does this apply to each of us at an embodied level? I have shared many times before, in online conversations, private ones, and in my dissertation, that one’s cosmology (the architecture and structural blueprint) is the blueprint for one’s existence. It holds the worldview, your ontology (your way of being and existing in the world), epistemology (your way of knowing and how knowledge is created and defined), and traditions; it pretty much outlines your existence, way of life, and why it is so. Many people don’t know what their base cosmology is, who created it, how it was received and transmitted, and what to do if they are disconnected from their root source, which would place them within their correct cosmology. So I bring this statement to you once more, “If you change any one of those components, you get a new pattern in the cosmic web.” This applies to your cosmology - the one you are rooted in, and the one your environment is influenced by. If we are all one, we are all interconnected, and we need to understand what cosmologies we are operating within and with. Because the one the world and planet are influenced by at this time is one filled with distortions, and the root of disconnect (rupture). And, to give you a hint on what cosmology is running the world right now, the name of it is Theogony. This is the Greek telling of a very old rupture that has been perpetuated for quite some time. I will go into detail in a future issue with a masterclass offered for visual reference. Developing the Genealogy of Distortion from the Theogony was a part of my dissertation thesis.

The late Mama Zogbe was an initiate of Afa, which is different from Ifa, which is different from the Amma. This book was her research into how African oracular wisdom traditions were co-opted, corrupted, stolen, and appropriated by the Catholic Church. I bought this after I received a reading from her in 2018.
Everyone has a piece of the mosaic. No single person, people, or tradition has the entire picture; not a single one of us has the entire book of knowledge. We are endowed with pieces and varying degrees of access to the root Source, all depending on the evolutionary level of one’s soul.
On page 23 of this text, Mama Zogbe makes a fascinating statement. It is one that gave me pause. I connected it to the vision I shared at the start of this section, the one where a Mother revealed to me that every 5 generations a Mother is born. Here is what Mama Zogbe had to say:
I get excited in moments like this because I found a clue to a couple of things in her statement. One, there is a sacred tradition of women whose lineages are rooted in the Mothers. Two, some of these mothers are primordial, and their traditions naturally go underground to emerge at certain times.
There was an Ifa priestess who also spoke about these secret and sacred traditions of the Mothers, the late Chief Iyanife Fagbemileke Fatunmise. She called it the Iyami Osoronga (Society of the Mothers). Within the cultural lens of Ifa, that is what it’s called. Within the Afa, I am sure they have their own way of naming it. And, through a cosmogenic view of the Sibyls, you could also say that their existence was a part of a larger, global collective tradition of women connected to something far older than the labels given to them by the patriarchal establishment. Dare I say, these are traditions that were pre-human.
This is the knowledge I was raised with. It is what my mother would whisper to me as a child, and what the primordial Mothers, my ancestors, transmitted to me through dreams.
and they would call you once you came of age.”
Looking back at Mama Zogbe’s words,
There is a slight timing difference here, and since Mama Zogbe is no longer on this side of the veil, I cannot ask her how she got 600 or 6,000 years. What I can say is, there is a pattern that everyone needs to become aware of.
Because it is a pattern that affects the balance of the Earth, the life it supports, and the Cosmos that encompasses both.
The Primordial Year
Contemporary scholars call it the “Long Count” (Kremer, 2000). These are typically understood through the lens of the Mayans as “Suns” or “One World Age”. Think about it, each new age or cycle is a new “day” in the cosmic sense.
Guess how many years equate to a “Galactic Day”?
Approximately 5,125.36 years. This is one generation. A full year is approximately 25,800 - 26,000 years.
Now let’s go back to what the Mothers revealed to me in that vision back in 2011:
Remember, I said, even though we can apply this to the human sense of time, the primordial Mothers, the Amma, are not human-centered. Therefore, her primary statement referred to primordial generations. One generation is approximately 5,125 years. Five generations complete one Primordial Year. The fifth generation is the start of a new year.
When did that “new year” begin?
When was her message delivered to me?
This was pretty much at the last threads of the last age. The new age, the new sun, began in 2012; precisely after December 21, 2012.
So to recap:
Primordial Memory is important. Why? Because after 5,000 years, humanity tends to forget things and becomes an embodiment of amnesia.
When I say “Primordial Lineages”, I am not speaking starseed, new age language. There are cultural echoes that are ancestral within my human bloodlines, that I can provide as examples. This is what separates my experiences from colonial spirituality.
And it’s this process that I want to inspire you through. How do you undo the collapsing of primordial ancestral narratives by colonizing ideologies and the ongoing conquest of Western hegemony? How do you identify what is ancestral from the desires of grandeur and superiority?
This is why Dream-Based Scholarship and decolonial epistemologies (decolonizing ways of knowing, to further mean undoing the harm that colonialism has done to our minds, bodies, spirits, and cosmological narratives) are so, so very important. This is why relinquishing colonial identities is so very important. You cannot understand where you are going or how to heal if you do not know where you came from before the harm. Before the trauma. Before the rupture. Before the cosmic discord.
If a cosmology becomes ruptured, your spirituality, worldview, and physical embodiment will mirror that rupture.
A Primordial Lineage is as it implies: a lineage rooted in a cosmogenic source. The nature of this source will be wombic (womb-like) because we begin our physical manifestation within the womb. The Cosmos is wombic, therefore, every beginning will be wombic. This means, essentially, you begin with Memory. The amniotic fluid of the womb has to hold memory in order for it to recall how to make your body. In the cosmos, the process of creating a star within a nebula is essentially the same. Thus, it is Memory that begets creation.
At the very least, that is how it is in this Universe. I cannot speak for the Multiverse (that’s a different conversation for another season).
Knowing that my lineage begins within a Wombsource, the cultural echoes (Earthly manifestations) were revealed to me via ancestral dreams since I was a child. I have ancestry from parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, and a touch of kinship within the Pacific Islands. The cultural echoes of this Primordial Lineage are embodied in the Queen Mothers of the Akans, the Aje and Iyas of the Yoruba, the Mwt Nswt-Bity (Mother of the Divine Vessel) of the Nile Valley, the Midwives of the Yucátan embodied through IxChel’s medicine, the Norns of the Germanic/Nordic cultures, the Maharis of India, and kinship relations to Pō/Te Pō of the Pacific Island region. All of these cultural embodiments of divinity are rooted in the primordial Mothers, all of whom came to me in dreams and visions over a period of 24 years, and counting. What I know and understand about myself was revealed to me through them.
That means:
Beloveds, there is a tradition of women rooted in the Primordial Mothers. For every age the Earth passes through, a Mother is born, thus rejuvenating this process of remembering.
That being said, what is the function of this Mother (or these Mothers) when she is born during the transition from one Primordial Year, to another?
And, if this is the process of rejuvenation for the Cosmos, Earth, and all life the Earth supports, what does that mean for you? For humanity?
Plainly put: what is the function of rejuvenation at the start of each Primordial Year?
Why are the Mothers key to that process?
What does this mean for you?
In Issue #4, we will explore Identity from the perspective of the primordial Mothers, and why this is important for the process of cosmic rejuvenation.
Thank you for making it this far, and for being here.
