Cover Your waist-beads Sistar...
They are not for public display.
I know you love the fashion and colors;
But please. Don’t Play
Please don't forget our Ancient Ancestral context that says,
“Waist beads are Sacred and Blessed Amulets.”
A tradition we won’t let pass away.
Waist beads hold cultural significance in various African societies. They can symbolize femininity, fertility, spirituality, and are often worn as a form of adornment or during traditional ceremonies. Additionally, some women cultures believe that they have healing or protective properties. The reasons can vary widely based on cultural practices and personal beliefs within different African communities.
It is critically important to AfriKan American families that we preserve, and perpetuate our distinctive heritage and culture.
Within the Amen Par Ankh Nome society,
Waist Beads are intentionally to be worn underneath the clothing and only to be seen privately by girls during Rites of passage rituals, briefly during private moments around family members, and private occasions around a woman's husband or mates"...
They are a part of your underwear and lingerie. We use the Metu Neter Reading Deck to determine a member's Destiny, Health Career and Relationship. Each paradigm will hold attributes to 5 senses of colors, fragrances, Sounds/Chants, foods, drinks and symbols/patterns. So the colors and amulet meaning will be revealed uniquely.
The significance of waist beads is rooted in the belief that they protect their wearer and bring favor to the wearer. Each color represents the wearer’s Purpose, health, fertility blessing and or relationship.
.
Waist beads also serve as a symbol of wealth, beauty, fertility, and strength. And even if a pregnant woman wears them, it becomes a protection for her growing baby. The visibility of your waist beads can blindly provoke unwanted attention
So before you follow the trend, understand the cultural and cosmic order and requirements of wearing them.
The Symbolism and meaning of Waist Bead Colors
Oh, the colors! If waist beads were a language, colors would be their words. Each hue, a story. Let me break it down for you (and yes, I’ve got a little chart up my sleeve):
- Red: Often symbolizes power, passion, blood sacrificed, and courage. It’s associated with energy and vitality. This is Heru and Heru Khuti
- Blue: Is typically linked to peace, tranquility, and wisdom. It’s seen as a soothing color that brings calm and understanding. This is Auset, Ma'at and Sekert
- Green: Represents fertility, abundance, and growth. It’s a color that’s closely tied to nature and prosperity. This is Ausar, and Het Heru
- Gold: Represent good health, power and wealth
- Yellow: Is the color of joy, happiness, and intellect. It’s often associated with the sun and its life-giving energy. This is Het Heru,and Maat,
- White: Stands for purity, innocence, and spirituality. It’s often used in waist beads that aim to bring peace and clarity. This is Ausar
- Black: Is a powerful color that represents protection, power, and mystery. It’s often used in waist beads for protection against negative energy. This is the Symbol of the Ancestars/Sheps
- Orange: Represents courage and vitality

A Quote that Eye hold dear to my consciousness is from Dr Amos Wilson, the Author of Blue Print for Black Power: in reference to Mentacide:
1. What Language Do You Speak?
2. What names do you call yourself?
3. What foods do you eat
4.What clothing do you wear?
5. Can you name 1Afrikan G0d?
Is is important that we practice our own cultural traditions. This is why Eye established Amen Ankh AKademy And BotaniKa

Nuta Beqsu means (heaven gives me balance) This is an ancient KMT language that is still in practice today. Nu and Nut are Elemental powers of the Heavens: Nu is Moisture and Water. Nut is the Celestial Star-goddess. She represents the cosmos and the universe, always giving birth to new stars. The Universe is always giving birth to new solar systems and stars. Ta is the original word for place, land, and City-States of our ancient Matriarchal societies. Our land is our home, and the place for the empirical existence where we learn from our experiences. She seeks to live in a balance between the planetary and heavenly existences. We are all connected to the land, trees, microcosm and macrocosm, Inner verse and universe. Nuta Beqsu (heaven gives me balance) will be programmed into conscious spirit, to produce thought sequences to direct a course of action as a way to achieve success in life.
Visualization is thought converted into a pleasurable visual image(s) to achieve a goal and/or purpose. We connect with Divine Power to guide and direct our pathways. As a divine name is spoken the receiver has unity of direction in life. Our names reflect our Destiny. So, the sight Sound, vision, smell, and colors associated with a divine name will give guidance in my pathway of life.
