Overview

You, your family and community are invited to participate in a Kemetic Karest mas Celebration, where true meaning is revealed and commercial practices are put aside. Like Kwanzaa demonstrates an African celebration, this book s research demonstrates the practice of a Kemetic Karest mas Celebration by our African Ancestors of the Nile Valley, Kemet, later called Egypt. In this reconstruction of Karest mas Celebration we re-Spiritualize those elements of our traditional African Spirituality that have become, materialized, perverted, Europeanized, debased, re-named, and potentized to be injurious to the African consciousness. We reclaim our sacred symbols, remove distortions and ungarble their meaning. This book moves Step by Step in reclaiming and incorporating each symbol. Diagrams and instructions are given for family and community participation in this Holy Day taking place at the Winter Solstice December 21/22 each year.

Editor's Review: Adisa Makalani, Editor, Classic Transcripts Dr. Nteri Nelson has once again engaged Maat by expanding our cultural vision. Just as Dr. Maulana Karenga took a giant step 47 years ago with the introduction of Kwanzaa, Dr. Nelson reaches back in the spirit of Sankofa to our Nilotic beginnings.It is important to add this holy day to our cultural pantheon for a number of reasons. One: Every culture on the globe celebrates the astronomical event of the sun beginning its ascent to the equator after reaching its nadir. Two: The civilization that rose along the banks of the Nile is the mother and father all of civilizations; therefore to draw from that tradition is the most of sacred of all. Doesn't it say in somebody's holy book that you should honor your mother and father so that your days upon the earth may be long? What greater honor to your foremothers and forefather can you provide them than recovering their cultural birthright? As Afrikan people we have much to recover. Professor John Henrik Clarke used to say; the best way to begin tomorrow's work is to start today. Thank you Dr. Nteri for starting today!
