Her lion reinforces her authority and protective force. MUT, “Mother,” symbolizes rebirth, purification, and collective restoration. She nurtures wisdom and self-sovereignty, guiding humanity toward renewal. Her vulture serves as a watchful sentinel, ensuring clarity and transformation. Together, they safeguard the return to wholeness—individually and collectively—honoring the journey toward empowerment, reparatory justice, and self-determination.

LIBATION:
Honoring Those Who
Came Before Us
It is an African tradition to begin all sacred work by offering libation—calling the names of those who paved the way, standing in gratitude, and inviting their presence into the space.
Before the libation, the rhythm of the drum must speak. In many African traditions, the talking drum was not merely an instrument—it was a messenger, a sacred tongue that mimicked human speech, carrying prayers, praise, and proclamations across villages and generations.
In this sacred space, let the ‘Moyaba Fe Fe Iku’ chant by Yeye Luisah Teish, accompanied by the drum, awaken our connection to our Ancestors and Allies in spirit. As we seek their guidance, wisdom, and favor in announcing our intention, its voice becomes the bridge—linking past and present, ancestor and descendant, silence and song. May each beat call forth those who walk with us unseen.
This rhythmic call of Mojuba Fe Fe Iku, voiced in chant and drum, bridges the worlds of the living and the ancestors. This ancient Yoruba invocation offers deep praise and gratitude to the Egúngun—the revered spirits who guide and protect us.
With each repetition, we honor the Great Fathers (Baba N’la) and Great Mothers (Iya N’la), acknowledging their wisdom, strength, and eternal presence in our lineage. The chant speaks directly to Iku, the spirit of transition, calling forth those who have crossed over to Orun (the heavenly realm) to stand beside us in this moment.
The drumbeat serves as the heartbeat of remembrance, carrying the voices of the ancestors through vibration—past and present, ancestor and descendant, silence and song. This offering is more than a ritual; it is a movement, a call to action for a time like this—a declaration that we do not walk alone, that we rise with the unseen who stand in witness to our work.
May each beat awaken the guidance, wisdom, and favor of the Egúngun as we step forward in strength, alignment, and sacred purpose.
We invite you to pause.
Breathe deeply. Add the names of your honored ancestors. Not as worship but as a “gratitude health moment” which honors their memory and **”Regular gratitude practice lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, helping to mitigate anxiety and improve overall well-being.”
Speak these names aloud or in your heart.

As an ancestor of high order, King Hiram Abiff’s skills as a Master Builder serve to ensure a solid foundation for the three branches of WRCHealing.org and the Virtual Celestial Oversite Council, which is composed of other notable high-order ancestors and spiritual guides—forming a cloud of witnesses that oversee the sacred mission of the “We Rise Coalition” (WRC). This coalition is built upon three essential pillars, each reflecting the ancient call to self-knowledge, restoration, and divine truth:
▪︎ WRC—Wichita: A Reparations Movement addressing historical injustices, advocating for holistic restoration, and empowering community-led transformation.
▪︎ SHSK—Safe Healthy Spaces-KS: Promoting traditional and holistic wellness, guiding individuals and groups toward balance in mind, body, and spirit.
▪︎ RMWW—Reconciliation Ministry Without Walls: Embracing the call to spiritual awakening and sacred altar practices, aligning with the wisdom of “Know Thyself” and “Christ in you, the hope of Glory.”
Through these foundational pillars, The collective spirit of the cultural values of UBUNTU, Sawubona and the MA’AT, all sacred ancient societal and self regulating principles, flow into WRCHealing, inspiring ancestral reverence, global healing, transformation, re-member-ment and wisdom for all who seek the sacred path of repair, equity and reconciliation!
