Washing the cargo. Makandal maroons spy on colonial marketplace.
Moments in Ep 1, Part 6 of TOYA! Coming soon… Spirit Travels Between Worlds
In Toya’s World, spirit walks both ways. Between the visible and the invisible. Manman Brijit is a master of both worlds. In Part 6, Kasango, the Kongo Warrior cut down in the failed Middle Passage ship rebellion, returns from the Ancestral World to speak to his living wife, Abundi. What does he say?
Elsewhere on the Okap dock, a man transitions. His spirit rises. Joins the sea of souls streaming toward the mountain. Will he too join the army that’s “coming back”?
A Moment from TOYA! Ep 1, Part 5 — The Mountains Remembers the Shattering of the Sky
Refresher: Where We Are
By Ep 1, Part 5 we’re introduced to the Slaver-Colonists’ Three Stations:
Wash the Cargo.
Auction it.
Brand it.
That’s their world. All pain.But the “cargo’s world” is mostly unseen.
It includes:
Makandal’s Maroon Sentinels, guarding the Mountain World.
The cosmic Anba Dlo, where Ancestors rise.
The Rodinia Light Beings, older than time.
The slaver-colonist lives in one world. Thievery. Mostly profit-over-people. Hedonistically profit-over-nature. One language.
The Alkebulan nations move through multiple worlds at once. Profit is not their ultimate pleasure. Hurting and destroying is not their ultimate delight.
The colonists colonizes the flesh, not the mind. And, cannot even see the soul. Much less the Light Beneath Our Feet - the Land that Never Sinked
