Our 3rd annual HOODOO MAYN: Hoodoo Nation Festival will take place in Washington, DC on October 15th. This will be our largest festival to date. We celebrate and examine Akan Ancestral Religion born of the blood-circles of our Akan Ancestresses and Ancestors who preserved our Ancestral Religion as Hoodoo in North america for the past 300 years. It was through Hoodoo as well as other Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) Ancestral Religious expressions in North america (Juju, Voodoo, Wanga, Ngengang) that we were empowered and guided to wage war against the whites and their offspring and force an end to enslavement in North america.
This year we have created a crowdfunding campaign specifically for HOODOO MAYN for the first time. The cost of the venue has increased over the past two years. At the same time we need to cover the expenses of our presenters who will be traveling from Georgia, Florida and New Jersey to present at HOODOO MAYN.
This all-day festival, as is true of all of our 3 annual conferences/festivals (HOODOO MAYN (October), AKYISAN (March), ODWIRAMAN (June)) and all other presentations that we do around the country, is free of charge and open to Afurakanu/Afuraitkaitnut (Africans~Black People) exclusively.
We will also give away a free copy of the soft-cover version of our book HOODOO MAYN Nhoma (Journal) - 13018 to all attendees of the event. This has been our practice for years at all of our events - free admission and a free book for all attendees.
We have covered the expenses of our three annual conferences/festivals over the past two years only with support from the community. Those who purchase one or more of our 28 books or make contributions to our institution are the reason why we have been able to continue. However, there has been a very small circle of core individuals who have contributed. We can get much more done with more support from those who truly benefit from our work.
We note that the whites and their offspring are holding 'hoodoo festivals' and events in different parts of the country attempting to co-opt our Ancestral Religion which in reality they are racially and spiritually incapable of practicing. We must restore the Afurakani/Afuraitkaitnit (African) and specifically Akan identity of Hoodoo within the consciousness of our people. This is our birthright and the key to us aligning our communal development with Nyamewaa-Nyame Nhyehyee (Divine Order).
Meeting our funding goal will allow us to cover the venue expense, the travel expenses for our three presenters and a portion of the printing expense for the free book giveaway.
Our presenters for this year's festival shown below:
Amma Asaase Agyei (Florida)
Aamit Sankofa (Georgia)
Afia Asase Bretuo (New Jersey)
Odwirafo Kwesi Ra Nehem Ptah Akhan (Chicago, Washington, DC)

Any contribution you make at any amount gives you the option to receive a copy of our HOODOO MAYN Nhoma (Journal) - 13018 which will be released on the day of the conference. You also have the option of receiving one or more of our other 27 books.
