M ossi (also see related Bwa, Bobo and Nunuma) The first Mossi Empire was founded by invaders from northern Ghana. Today, the Mossi are the largest tribe living in Burkina Faso. They number 2,2 to 3,5 million and are the only tribe of Inland West Africa to have a centralized governing body, in addition to clans and professional corporations led by elders known as zaksoba . They are an ethnically diverse people divided into two social groups. Political power resides in nakomze , whose ancestors invaded the region in 15th century and subjected the various autochthonous groups living there. From these arose the tengabisi , a heterogeneous population whose kinship groups have provided the religious leaders of the Mossi to this day. On the north, one encounters a region of Sahelian desert steppes, then further south a zone of tree-field savannas, which gives way to forestland in the deep south. The greater part of the population lives off agriculture and cattle breeding. They grow millet, sorghum, maize, sesame, peanuts, and indigo. Cotton, introduced by the French during the occupation, is also cultivated over large stretches of land. Since the beginning of the century, the family has not been regarded as part of a community, since custom required that, immediately after circumcision, the eldest son leave to live independently from his father. Similarly, the young wife had no status whatsoever until the birth of her first child, which gave her the right to visit her parents. She did not raise her children, who were entrusted to older wives. On the other hand, at the death of a farther, the son would receive the wives and fields of his father.

Image Bank slide series 3709-3740,4334,4340 Northwest Coast Indian Art The land occupied by the American Northwest Coast Indians is a stretch of coastland bordered by the Yakutat Bay to the north in southeast Alaska and, arguably,1 the Lower Columbia River in northwest Oregon. The eastern border is the Coast Range of British Columbia and the Cascades of Washington state, and the western border is of course the Pacific Ocean. There have been six major linguistic groups or cultures in this area, as of the nineteenth century.2 From north to south, they are the Tlingit, the Haida in the Queen Charlotte Islands, the Tsimshian, the Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Kwakiutl, and then the Westcoast and Coast Salish. The religion of the Northwest Coast Indians involves elaborate art and ceremony closely tied to their complex hierarchial social structure (Wardwell, p. 13).3 All slides in this sequence were photographed out of the context of their use. The masks, in particular, were made to be worn during rituals, with costumes and headgear associated with the entity being represented. Motion and dance steps, as well as sounds and surroundings, animated what we see as mere artifacts, making spirits appear. These spirits were not regarded as deities, but rather as manifestations of the forces of nature. Before the coming of man, they were thought to have inhabited the world (Wardwell, p. 16).

29. The Lost Light- Part 3 Of 5- By Alvin Boyd Kuhn reverts at one time to a brutal literalism amongst untamed (Page 237) peoples andagain of them by means of a body composed of the matter indigenous to that http://www.theosophique.ca/LostLight3.htm

Chapter XII AMBROSIA AND NECTAR The breaking of the bread and the libation of the wine are now clearly seen to be emblematic of the partition of the unified energy of the god’s life for distribution to the races of men. The banquets of the gods, the Passover feasts, the funerary meals, the last suppers and the Totemic repasts were all forms of a primary Eucharist. Man was given the transcendent privilege of feeding upon the life of the gods! And it can be freely admitted that nowhere is the necessity of transferring a literal physical meaning over to a spiritual one more definitely apparent than here. The final definitive meaning of the great Eucharistic rite is bound up in the reconstitution of lost significance in this doctrine. The entire debate as to the matter of transubstantiation, transfusion, the partaking (Page 232) Says St. Paul: shun idolatry, then, my beloved [doubtless the material sense of he symbols.] I am speaking to sensible people: weigh my words for yourselves. The cup of blessing which we bless, is that not participating in the blood of Christ?
