In Ancient Traditions, Grandmothers and Grandfathers spent a lot of time teaching their children, grandchildren, and children in the villages the ancient ways. They were also called elders. Elders made sure the community was always in order. They enjoyed teaching the younger children because children are closer to the realm of the Ancestors and the Elders are closer to returning to the Spirit realm. In “Biko Learns Ancient Traditions” Grandmother Alouma teaches her grandson Biko traditions of the ancients. Rise up, Goddesses and Gods, Queens and Kings. Let us call on our powerful Ancestors, honor them, and teach their to our children so we take back all that we have lost.
