The AI did not understand the assignment the first time. Let's try this again for our heroines: Female soldiers from the "L'armée indigène" from the Haitian Revolution of 1804 taking some selfies before battle.

Let’s have a little fun: “L’armée indigène” from the Haitian Revolution of 1804 taking some selfies before battle.

This book contains the secret spiritual history of the people, a Vodou mythology, the Vodou rituals, a book on herbal healing, and a prophecy on their return to give future generations hope and a foundation to build upon.

The last “Manje Lwa” (meal of the spirits) is an apocalyptic vision of a parallel reality where the Lwa withdraw from the Haitian nation.

In that vision, they eat there last meal with the last of the Vodou “sèvitè” then completely disappear into the invisible realm.

This event would mark the beginning of a dark age for the Haitian people and eventually a return to slavery. But before they leave, they will help prepare a sacred book called “La Bible Lwa”.

@StLoUdAkId M pa la pou mwen prouve w. Mwen la pou mwen travay avèk sa ki deja pwouve tèt yo. Nou pa bezwen pwouve moun, nou ap travay ak sa nou genyen.

(1/3) Pawòl mwen tande ki soti nan bouch ansyen yo:

“Pou retabli Ayiti sou wout libète ak pwosperite, lidè li yo bezwen fèt de fwa. Premye fwa nan men manman ak papa biyolojik yo, dezyèm fwa nan Ginen kòm pitit Lwa yo.”

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@StLoUdAkId Rete kote w ye a, kite moun ki sèvi Lwa kontinye sèvi Lwa. Epi n ap kite l mache.

@tayl_bryant Mwen pa gen kwayens nan Relijyon. Mwen etidye e aksepte tout Relijyon pou verite ak syans inivèsèl ki ladan yo. Ou jis twò timoun pou konprann sa m ap di w la. Kenbe lekòl ou, kontinye pran bèt. Petèt lespri ou ap louvri yon jou. Ale avèk lapè, pa fè kòlè 🙏🏾

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@tayl_bryant Ou pa konn kisa ki Relijyon, ou pa konn kisa ki fè yon Nasyon, men se sou sa ou vle fè diskisyon… kote diskisyon sa prale? Tan pèdi 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@tayl_bryant W ap pale sa w panse ou konnen oswa konprann men ke ou pa ni konnen, ni konprann. Se kòmsi m ap eseye entrodui ou nan aljèb epi ou kanpe dan w ap dim li enposib pou adisyone lèt alphabet 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@tayl_bryant Ou poko janm konprann toujou. Pèp la pa gen pwoblèm Syans Materyèl pou moman sa la, n ap ka itilize Syans Materyèl yo apre. Pèp la gen pwoblèm MORALITE e ou paka gen moralite san Relijyon. Men sak fè w pa konprann sa wap pale a se paske ou pa konnen vrèman kisa ki Relijyon.

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@tayl_bryant Pou m fè on paralèl avè w, ou panse Relijyon se lafwa sèlman se paske ou nan klas primè Relijyon, donk y ap aprann ou aritmetik. Si w rive nan klas sekondè, se la y ap aprann ou aljèb, analiz, etc. Se menm bagay la pou Relijyon.

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@tayl_bryant Ou poko janm konprann sa mwen di an. Relijyon pa kwayans sèlman, sa se just pati yo bay piblik jeneral la. Relijyon se Syans Lespri (Sciences Spirituelles). Syans sa w ap pale a se Syans Materyèl (Sciences de la Matière).

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@SteevenDambrev2 Mesaj la klè: solisyon an se Lwa yo ki pou bay li menm jan yo te bay li pou 1804.

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

@tayl_bryant Ou pa konprann anyen nan anyen si w panse Relijyon pa Syans. Nou panse Syans materyèl se sèl Syans ki ekziste paske se sa Aristote te preche. Men nou bliye Aristote se te elèv Platon, e Platon se te yon inisye nan mistè Relijyon, Metafizik, ak Filozofi pèp Grèk la. Al repanse.

(3/3) “Toutotan sa pa fèt, Ayiti ap kontinye desann nan dezòd epi retounen nan esklavaj sof si pèp la repanti epi chwazi chemen Ginen. Yo rele anpil moun, men se sèlman kèk yo chwazi.”

(2/3) “Lè sa a, yo pral kapab tande konsèy ki soti nan monn envizib, epi dirije pèp la ak sajès Dambala, lanmou Èzili, kouraj ak konpetans Ogou, epi etik travay Zaka.”

Did you know that the vèvè of Ogou (see second slide), spirit or God of war in Haitian Vodou, is the totem of both the emperors and kings that have followed Abiodun, King of the Oyo people of Nigeria?

[Vodou Renaissance 🇭🇹 @bayakou_]

This is the spirit our ancestors left hidden in the Haitian warrior DNA waiting to be awakaned. This is the battle cry of freedom during the last battle of the Haitian Revolution of, remembered as the Battle of Vertières fought the 18th of November in 1803: “Freedom, or death!”
