Taking "self-help" to new heights and learning to cultivate your
divine spiritual self in any environment, The Urban Ritualist
uncovers the divine purpose of all beings, to strengthen the divine
spirit within and use its power to uplift human consciousness. The
term "self-help" is indicative of humankind's desire to elevate
themselves - their physical, social, and economic conditions. This
desire to change has been linked to the universal changes that are
taking place in terms of the earth, and universal energy. Although
many believe that our thoughts have the capacity to manifest the
changes we desire, and in many ways it does, there is another part
to the equation. It's not all about what you think, it's also about
who you are. To "Know Thyself" is the most recognized edict given
to humankind by the ancient Kemetians. It is the foundation of
transformation work and the lifeblood of magic. In The Urban
Ritualist, the path to know oneself and cultivate spiritual growth
and development is laid out. Spirituality and ritual are examined
from an ancient African and African American worldview as
researched and expressed by African and African American scholars
and practitioners over the last 60 years. It examines the
importance of culture and the role it plays in one's practice of
ritual. The book brings into question the values a culture holds,
and encourages its readers to examine their personal values,
attitudes, and beliefs. Finally, the book examines the various
energies, inherent in the elements and environment that, when
activated en mass, will elevate the magic that will hold this
universe together. The Urban Ritualist is for persons of all ages,
cultures, religious affiliations and backgrounds to synthesize
ritual into their own lives and value systems. Readers are
encouraged to uplift their ethnicity with positive conscious intent
and to respect the spirit, energy and power in all people. In the
book, you will learn to use common tools imbued with your positive
conscious intent to manifest success and abundance for yourself,
your family and your community. The book also encourages readers to
expand their frame of reference to the positive transformation of
the world community for the benefit of all. Infuse every day, every
occasion and your life with ritual to live in the true power of
peace and love with no limitations. Author Bio: Queen Afi Andaiye
