It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀

For #BlackHistoryMonth I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. The rising, peaking, setting, and absence of Ntangu, the #Sun, is essential in #Bakongo religious culture, equating to 4 stages of life: conception, birth, maturity, and death. One day, #Ntangu challenged #Ngonde, the #Moon, to a foot race but Ngonde defeated him. This is why the Moon can be seen during the day but the Sun cannot be seen at night with the Moon.

It's the #DayOfDionysos here at Erotic Mythology! 🍇

For #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm introducing African deities in my daily god toots. In #Bakongo culture, bisimbi are spirits that are able to influence the fertility and well-being of those living in the area. They are seen as the guardians of nature and the intermediaries who travel the Kalûnga Line between Ku Seke, the physical world of the living, and Ku Mpémba, the spiritual world of the ancestors.
