It will soon be Moon time


★★★ Mama is a Moon

Once upon a time, when the moon still lived on earth as human. ÒṢÙPÁ Alè. Who wants to know the tale? We all chorused. “Yay” 😁😁 “We believed Òṣùpá Alẹ́ to be our mother. The mother of all mankind. The living mother of all being but she was betrayed by the gods all other gods who thought that Òṣùpá Alẹ́ wants to become more superior than they, and they planned to kill her but they never knew that Òṣùpá Alẹ́ is a mother and a goddess of eternity and immortality. But before we continue, Can we learn a new song? “Well. I love to sing, I don't know about the others sha.” I said in an anxious way, to know why the moon actually lives in the sky and how they sent her away from the earth. “Bísọ́lá, Bísọ́lá, wake up from your slumber, Mama wants to teach us a song” Kẹ́hìndé's shout reverberated from behind and we all laughed so hard. A night with the moon A n sere Òṣùpá A night with Màmá A n gbọ itan àtijọ We sang the song and we kept on listening to Mama. The moon went to her hiding when she heard the song, I guessed she was shy because her story is told to us by Mama. “Farmers, Kings, Queens, Hunters and everyone loved the Moon, we believed her to be the source of life and fertility until a time when the gods came together and said they don't want to have her as their mother anymore. “Ahn Ahn, why is that? The cruel world of humanity!” Táiwò spoke out of indignance. “It's pure jealousy, you guys don't always want to have a lady as your boss” 'Móyẹni said. “Why is that Mama? Why should the gods do that?” I asked almost out of consternation. “Well the gods have to do that because The Moon was too good and great and their relevance is unnoticed by everyone. They also seek the importance of people and yet they are so mean, cruel and Wicked.” “They whispered, conspired and they told their lies to kings, to everyone in the whole world that Òṣùpá Alẹ́ is not the one who blesses the people, nor is she the one bringing fertility. It's all a lie.” “Some people believed it to be true, but how can a goodness mother suddenly turn evil? When she was alleged to Kill 'Láwálé the son of the great Àyàn of the village of Irésọbẹ̀. “You have to wake him up, were you not the one that raised the dead during the time of our Fathers? Were it not you that made Ọba Alákìjé II of Àkìjé a King? What then can stop you from raising 'Láwálé if not that you had killed him.” The Kings sat and thought about it deeply, why would they send away a mother who has been since ages past away? Why should it be their generation that would send away Òṣùpá Alẹ́ who had been in existence before the Flood of Noah and would still be in existence till the salvation of the Jews!!! The Kings couldn't refuse the voice of the gods, since the gods have the final say over the earth and yet it's an abomination to banish the Mother of all Living. What should we do? Kí ni k'á ṣe? Out of Sheer love, the moon went up into the sky to show off her powers in the expression of love by shining at nights to chase the demons away from her children and hiding away when the wickeds are being tormented by the demons! We are about to journey into the unknown where the Moon becomes the good and evil. #adventure_into_the_unknown Mama is the moon.... coming soon.... How Mama is the moon, in the next episode 😊
