Historians from Southern Illinois University in the Africana Studies Department documented about 20 title words from the Kikongo language are in the Gullah language. These title words indicate continued African traditions in Hoodoo and conjure. The title words are spiritual in meaning. In Central Africa, spiritual priests and spiritual healers are called Nganga. 
In the South Carolina Lowcountry among Gullah people a male conjurer is called Nganga. Some Kikongo words have a "N" or "M" in the beginning of the word. However, when Bantu-Kongo people were enslaved in South Carolina the letters N and M were dropped from some of the title names. For example, in Central Africa the word to refer to spiritual mothers is Mama Mbondo. In the South Carolina Lowcountry in African American communities the word for a spiritual mother is Mama Bondo. In addition during slavery, it was documented there was a Kikongo speaking slave community in Charleston, South Carolina

Ano kayang problema ng IT support? Haha. Every time nanaman may nireraise akong isyu, pinapasa nila ako sa ibang tao (na wala ring gagawin tapos wala nang mangyayari), or sasabihin nilang walang magagawa sa problema (e what the heck, kailangan lang i-approve 'yung request ko para ma-access ko na 'yung thing), or may sasabihin silang diagnosis na parang malayo sa totoong problema.
Anyway, 'yung ka-work ko, 'yung account na ibinigay sa kanya e may iba nang nagmamay-ari, in fact may ibang mukha nakadisplay sa account niya and idk, 'yung free space ng mailbox niya wala na, kasi nagamit na ng other person. Tapos noong cinontact niya 'yung support, binigyan sya ng number. Icontact daw niya ang HR. LOL! I highly doubt na makakatulong 'yung HR since hindi naman sa kanila 'yung isyu and hindi naman nila kami employee. 'Di rin alam ng mga boss paano na gagawin except sa same steps na icontact ang IT (eh kasi IT issue naman talaga). Binigyan sya ng faulty na account tapos siya pa magkocontact sa HR, seryoso ba 'yan?
Pero what's clear eh walang nareresolve na problema. Nakaka-frustrate lalo na pag kailangang kailangan mo na. Parang ikaw lang din talaga maghahanap ng paraan to get by.

Nganga - Wikipedia
A nganga (pl. banganga or kimbanda) is a spiritual healer, diviner, and ritual specialist in traditional Kongo religion.[1] These experts also exist across the African diaspora in countries where Kongo and Mbundu people were transported during the Atlantic slave trade, such as Brazil, the southern United States, Haiti and Cuba.
Tumblr media
Etymology
Nganga means "expert" in the Kikongo language. The Portuguese corruption of the meaning was "fetisher."[2] It could also be derived from -ganga, which means "medicine" in Proto-Bantu. As this term is a multiple reflex of a Proto-Bantu root, there are slight variations on the term throughout the entire Bantu-speaking world.[citation needed]
Central Africa
Tumblr media
Inyanga from Johannesburg, South Africa
In the Kingdom of Kongo and the Kingdom of Ndongo, expert healers, known as banganga, underwent extensive training to commune with the ancestors in the spiritual realms and seek guidance from them.[2] They possessed the skill to communicate with the ancestors in the spiritual realm, or Ku Mpémba, as well as divining the cause of illness, misfortune and social stress and preparing measures to address them, often by supernatural means and sacred medicine, or minkisi.[2]
They were also responsible for charging a nkisi, or physical objects intended to be the receptacle for spiritual forces that heal and protect its owner. When Kongo converted to Christianity in the late fifteenth century, the term nganga was used to translate Christian priest as well as traditional spiritual mediators.[3] In modern Kongo Christianity, priests are often called "Nganga a Nzambi" or "priests of God."[citation needed] The owner and operator of an nkisi, who ministered its powers to others, was the nganga.[4]
An English missionary describes how an nganga looks during his healing performance:
Thick circles of white around the eyes, a patch of red across the forehead, broad stripes of yellow are drawn down the cheeks, bands of red, white, or yellow run down the arms and across the chest.... His dress consists of the softened skins of wild animals, either whole or in strips, feathers of birds, dried fibres and leaves, ornaments of leopard, crocodile or rat's teeth, small tinkling bells, rattling seedpods...[4][5]
This wild appearance was intended to create a frightening effect, or kimbulua in the Kongo language. The nganga's costume was often modeled on his nkisi. The act of putting on the costume was itself part of the performance; all participants were marked with red and white stripes, called makila, for protection.[4]
The "circles of white around the eyes" refer to mamoni lines (from the verb mona, to see). These lines purport to indicate the ability to see hidden sources of illness and evil.[4]
Yombe nganga often wore white masks, whose color represented the spirit of a deceased person. White was also associated with justice, order, truth, invulnerability, and insight: all virtues associated with the nganga.[citation needed]
The nganga is instructed in the composition of the nkondi, perhaps in a dream, by a particular spirit. In one description of the banganga's process, the nganga then cuts down a tree for the wood that s/he will use to construct the nkondi. S/he then kills a chicken, which causes the death of a hunter who has been successful in killing game and whose captive soul subsequently animates the nkondi figure.[6] Based on this process, Gell writes that the nkondi is a figure an index of cumulative agency, a "visible knot tying together an invisible skein of spatio-temporal relations" of which participants in the ritual are aware.[7]
Tumblr media
Southern Africa
A n'anga, close to Great Zimbabwe
In South Africa, the inyanga has a medicinal role, in contrast to the sangoma, who deals with divination and the ancestral spirits, however, the distinction has become blurred in some areas and many traditional healers tend to practice both arts.[8][9] In Swahili, mganga refers to a qualified physician or traditional healer.[citation needed]
Among the Shona people of Zimbabwe, a n'anga is a traditional healer who uses a combination of herbs, medical/religious advice and spiritual guidance to heal people. In Zimbabwe, N'angas are recognized and registered under the ZINATHA (Zimbabwe National Traditional Healer's Association).[10][11]
They are believed to have religious powers to tell fortunes, and to change, heal, bless or even kill people. Traditionally N’angas were people’s main source of help in all matters of life. They have existed for decades well before the British colonial era. Guerrilla leaders are said to have consulted with N’angas during the Rhodesian Bush War.[12]
Even today, N'angas are consulted by the people for advice and healing of many illnesses. Sometimes N'angas refer their patients to western medical practitioners and hospitals in case of emergency or illness they cannot cure with the help of their healing spirit.[13]
The Americas
In the United States, nganga, who acted as spiritual leaders, played a key role in Hoodoo practices, which combined Kongo religion, Christianity and indigenous American herbal knowledge.[2]
In Cuba, the term nganga refers to a clay pot or iron cauldron that is kept in the homes of Palo diviners, called paleros. Similar to mojo bags in the United States, these banganga contained items from important places in nature and spiritual items, such as forest dirt, volcanic ash, and the hair, ashes or bones of an ancestor. They were seen as means to honor Nzambi, the mpungo and mfumbi (ancestral spirits), and the forces of nature.[14]
Many inverted positions of capoeira, including bananeira, aú, rabo de arraia, and others, are believed to have originated from the use of handstand by nganga imitating their ancestors, who walked on their hands in the spirit world.

Figura Masculina (nkishi), late 1800s–early 1900s. Democratic Republic of Congo, Songye-style carver and nganga.
This figure's visual impact and workmanship suggest that an extended family––rather than an individual––used it. The raffia skirt around the waist and the blue and white beads are indicators of leadership. The metal appliqué covering the face and the metal blades that hedge the headgear refer to the blacksmith, a culture hero celebrated in a Songye myth narrating the formation of the state. The metal strips on the skeletal face are said to relate to lightning, signaling the figure's role as a powerful anti-sorcerer, but the contrast between white iron and red copper symbolically alludes to the ambivalent powers of the figure.

The word goofer in goofer dust has Kongo origins and comes from the Kikongo word Kufwa which means "to die." The mojo bag in Hoodoo has Bantu-Kongo origins. Mojo bags are also called toby, which is derived from the Kikongo word tobe. The word mojo also originated from the Kikongo word mooyo, which means that natural ingredients have their own indwelling spirit that can be utilized in mojo bags to bring luck and protection. The mojo bag or conjure bag derived from the Bantu-Kongo minkisi. The nkisi singular, and minkisi plural, is when a spirit or spirits inhabit an object created by hand from an individual.
Tumblr media
These objects can be a bag (mojo bag or conjure bag) gourds, shells, and other containers. Various items are placed inside a bag to give it a particular spirit or job to do. Mojo bags and minkisis are filled with graveyard dirt, herbs, roots, and other materials by the Nganga spiritual healer.
The spiritual priests in Central Africa became the rootworkers and Hoodoo doctors in African American communities. In the American South, conjure doctors create mojo bags similar to the Ngangas minkisi bags as both are fed offerings with whiskey. Other Bantu-Kongo origins in Hoodoo is making a cross mark (Kongo cosmogram) and stand on it and take an oath.
Tumblr media
This practice is done in Central Africa and in the United States in African American communities. The Kongo cosmogram is also used as a powerful charm of protection when drawn on the ground, the solar emblems or circles at the end and the arrows are not drawn just the cross marks which looks like an X.

Pag totoo at galing sa puso mo yung feelings mo sa kanya tapos sinayang lang niya to the point na iniwan ka niya by any means, mapapaiyak ka talaga eh.
Pero kahit paulit-ulit tayong sinasaktan, tuloy lang natin yung maging genuine hanggang makahanap tayo ng para sa atin.

this video gives lots of information on the Nganga, and why its used. Watch and Learn because this is a closed society and information like this is not often shared openly.

CELEB'S WIFE DARKSIDE: ALISHA (Part II)
ALISHA
Sebagai isteri celeb & businesswoman, Tasha memang ramai networking. Tapi dia ada sorang bff nama Alisha. Semua benda dia akan buat sama-sama, sampai la married & preggy pun sama-sama. Sama-sama kuat sex. Damn.
Alisha ni sesuai untuk fappers yang ada taste perempuan yang skinny, tinggi. Untuk harapkan dia ada boobs padu mustahil. Tapi dia tetap ada keunikan tersendiri yang buatkan partner akan turn on habis.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kalau dia dah start make up, pakai tudung singkat nampak dada, memang bernafsu sial. Berbanding Tasha, Alisha ada stok cum dekat muka. Muka dia notty dan dia memang jenis suka seducing partner. Body dia yang skinny panjang tu dia akan gunakan sepenuhnya untuk buat pelbagai variation termasuk la dancing yang sexy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kalau dia specky ahhhhh lagi aku geram nak lenjan dia lepas tu lepaskan sperm pekat dekat muka. Fucking hot. Alisha dah siap nganga mulut untuk tadah semua cum yang ada. Damn. Tak payah la pakai tudung cover dada. Memang tetap bernafsu tengok even boobs dia tak ada sangat.
Tumblr media
Bestnya muka Alisha. Nampak nerd tapi notty gila. Dalam kereta pun Alisha suka gila make love. Nasib baik kereta tinted. Alisha suka tempat yang variety kalau fucking. Sebab body Alisha jenis skinny dah mudah lentur, senang la untuk dia buat position yang pelbagai. 69 antara favourite dia kalau foreplay. Lepas tu dia akan bagi partner spooning sampai dia dapat orgasm yang pertama. Then, dia akan ride partner sampai lunyai.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even tetek dia nampak kecik, tapi bila dressing dia padu memang aku tetap akan turn on gila. Sebagai boobs lover aku tak diskriminasi girl yang ada busty boobs dgn girl yang ada boobs kecik. Both sama dan tetap boleh buat aku onz. Boobs kecik selalunya lagi power kalau ditutup dengan kain yang ketat dan nampak shape boobs tu. Arghhh sama level juga dengan boobs besar.
Tengok Alisha. Sideboobs dia nampak kecik gila. Macam boobs Form 3 tapi aku tetap mencanak bila tengok dia show off. Damn hot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Belum lagi dia tayang paha panjang skinny dia tu. Aku rasa paha antara yang aku turn on dengan Alisha ni. Alisha akan pakai sexy lingerie masa fucking dan akan seducing habis habisan. Pakai stocking panjang yang ideal dengan kaki panjang dia tu. Arghhh, ni kelainan antara Tasha dan Alisha. Alisha ada special dekat body dia bahagian bontot sampai kaki. Missionary position pun dah cukup best nak lenjan Alisha. Angkat kaki panjang dia tu sampai bahu. Fuck kuat-kuat sampai dia cum. Fuck.
Tumblr media
Ahhhhh yes, fucking dengan heels. Tak payah buang. Agaknya, partner Tasha tak geram ke tengok bestfriend wife dia macam ni? Mesti dia teringin nak rasa pussy ketat Alisha.
Persamaan kedua-dua Tasha & Alisha terletak dekat bontot. Both ada bontot yang sangat padu. Memang Tasha level lagi tinggi berbanding Alisha sebab lagi lentik. Tapi Alisha tetap big bonus. Tak aku sangka girl yang skinny macam dia boleh ada bontot yang lebar pejal. Memang nice nak spanking kuat-kuat. Anal sex maybe agak mencabar sebab sangat ketat. Tapi boleh penetrate. Tasha boleh guide bff dia sampai dapat. Lessy scene antara Tasha + Alisha pun sangat hot. Sampai next step dorang akan 3some, 4some lepas tu orgy.
Damnnn tengok bontot dua hotwife ni. Lentik sial. Tasha memang perfecto. Alisha pulak aku tak sangka bontot dia sepower tu. Selalunya skinny girl tak ada asset macam ni. Tapi yessss, Alisha ada. Damn hot.
RATING
Face 7.5/10
Muka Alisha memang stok best nak cum. Muka notty sial. Kalau dia makeup memang aku rasa nak letak je dick dekat muka tu. Kalau dia specky memang aku hentak-hentak je batang dekat muka. Markah dia tak penuh sebab kalau dia tak makeup notty dia macam kurang sikit. Tu je. Kalau makeup yang nipis pun berjaya buat dick aku naik 100% tanpa gagal.
Boobs 5.5/10
Boobs dia kategori kecik gila. Macam budak Form 3. Tapi aku akan turn on habis bila dia pakai ketat dan cuba jgk nak tayang sideboobs dia. Still nampak sexy. Selalunya boobs kecik macam ni nipples dia yang padu. Mencangkuk ke atas. Sebab tu aku rate dia average. Not bad. Tetap titik rangsangan yang best.
Butt 8/10
Asset penting Alisha. Siapa sangka, girl yang skinny ada bontot padu macam dia. Hampir menyamai bff dia Tasha. Aku rasa kalau dia preggy & workout sikit memang akan capai perfect shape jgk. Serious. So doggy is a must. Anal sex kena try dengan guide Tasha.
Body Cutting 7/10
Kalau la Alisha ada sedikit lagi boobs, aku akan bagi rating lagi tinggi. Maybe lepas 2, 3 kali lagi preggy dia akan dapat body cutting yang nice. Body Alisha sangat perfect bila kenakan dengan heels tinggi tajam. Masa tu memang rasa nak fucking je tanpa buka heels.
Sexual Attractiveness 7/10
Alisha punya sexual aura sama markah dengan Tasha. Memang wild dekat ranjang. Alisha akan start dengan 1st move. Seducing & teasing dia level tinggi. Sebab tu dorang boleh preggy sama-sama.
Others
Movement Alisha yang buatkan dia special. Dia boleh dancing untuk menggoda partner. Alisha sangat skillful dengan lidah dan gerakan badan. So, B2B massage dah cukup untuk buat dick terangkat habis.
OVERALL RATING
7/10
Lagi best, family Alishaa pun sangat padu... her mommy & siblings wow. Ada plan apa-apa ke?
