Sótin Thunder Deity Celebration

Sótin Thunder Deity Celebration

We are celebrating a very special 𞤶𞤵𞥊𞤲 hùn (deity) here during the Autumnal Equinox. This is the celebration of the first New Afrikan deity birthed right here in north amerikkka! It was birthed by the mighty monarchy of 𞤘𞤢𞥈𞤲𞤤𞤽𞤢𞤮𞥊𞥅 Gànlɔdó and it’s name is 𞤅𞤮𞥊𞥅𞤼𞤭𞤲 Sótin. In our natural world, Sótin is the ancient and sacred oak tree. Sótin is part of the Só pantheon of deities. This means he is related to deities that deal with thunder, lightening, rain, justice, royalty, regality, sovereignty, kwk.

Governs – justice related specifically to New Afrikans in the united snakes, royal coronations and celebrations in New Afrika, chieftaincy installations and celebrations in New Afrika, wealth, reparations.

Celebrated – On or around the Autumnal Equinox

Foods – black eyed peas and hot peppers, sweet potatoes, cooked collards, moss tea, plums, apples of any color, avocado, coconut, mango, water melon, pot liquor (juice from cooked greens), akara, adiye, grilled foods (turkey, chicken, kwk)

Associations – blue Jays, miss, acorns, lightning, oak trees, lightning striking an oak tree

It is quite important that we take our sovereignty into consideration as we navigate through ancient traditions that are related to our blood. There were deities birthed in Mãwùfɛ (Afrika) that had not existed before. Why can’t WE as New Afrikans do the same? However, keep in mind that there is a proper and sacred process for this to come about. It took us some years at Gànlɔdó to birth this New Afrikan Deity. So this is nothing made up. This is still based on ancient culture, yet brought forward.
