Hakim was invited to be
an ambassador of peace, and lectured and shared his wisdom at many venues in
many different countries all over the world before he passed from this life, or
wested, as he would have said, in August of 2008.
Medusa, a real woman,
was the Afrikan serpent-goddess said to have worn a pouch around her waist
containing live snakes that represented wisdom and renewal. She was said to
have carried the original Gorgon mask to frighten off the unskilled, and it was
painted red to symbolize the power of menstrual blood with “gruesome glaring
eyes, bared fanged teeth and, like the Hindu Goddess Kali, a protruding tongue”
Goddess Inspired. Her name derived from
Egyptian Maat (Truth) “which also gives us the words medicine, mathematics, and
Sanskrit medha (female wisdom)”. “The Gorgons were a trinity whose names were
Medusa, Stheino, and Eurayle- or Wisdom, Strength, and Universality”. Blacked
Out through White Wash
Afrikan cultures were
unfamiliar to the people known as Europeans, and many of the Greek mythological
creatures originate from Afrikan civilizations. The snake hair assessment,
assuming these people(Greeks) did not know the name of the hairstyle, referred
to it as snake hair later creating classic myths depicting a goddess that
actually represented truth and was not a villain, into a monster, taught in
schools as Greek mythology.
Snake hair and
Dreadlocks?
The original, real life
Medusa, supposedly had dreads and the origin of dreads through ancient
discoveries existed before the fictional Medusa character was recreated. She
was the snake Goddess which is how Europeans formed their version of a monster
with hair of snakes, with a face that would turn any man to stone because of
fear, which developed from the Gorgon mask she carried with her.
