THE OGBANJE CHILD: AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS – By Knight Fredel

EPISODE 12

INTRODUCTION:

All Souls are energy, born out of the Ether, the source of all creation and foundation of all life forms, from the psychic to the mental, spiritual and physical realms of consciousness.

After we all descended from the source of all creation and life forms, we had to pass through certain “elemental” stages whereby we get to choose our element and its kingdom/realm.

Some of us where born of water, others Fire, Air and Earth. However, in each Soul exists the four elements of nature, the Water, the Air, the Fire and the Earth elements, nevertheless each of these Souls are made to belong to one of the elemental kingdoms of the four: water air fire and earth elements.

So which element, are you made of? Which kingdom do you as a Soul belong to? Is it the water kingdom? Or is it the Air kingdom? The fire or the Earth kingdom, so which are you? At this point the reader must note that some western esoteric mysticism prefers to categorize these kingdoms as Soul groups, therefore when I say water kingdom for example, I am referring to the soul group ruled by the element of water.

Many religious persons know of the water or marine kingdom bhttps://www.awakeafraka.com/ecause its the most notable and most powerful and so became the most popular especially when the church and many esoteric paths decided to demonize it because mainly, some don’t understand it,, you know humans,, they always demonize something they don’t understand.

Some demonized it in order to scare people away from the truth and power it possesses whereby using and misusing it behind.

I know that many of you do not at this moment know which element you are made of, nevertheless I’ll ask you questions at the end of this article, when answered sincerely and correctly then you will find the true answer by yourself. By then you will recognize your element, and with that knowledge you will come to be acquainted with who you are who your requests and prayers should be channeled to.

Note, the universe is vast and infinite; conversely you are right to clinch to all things but, there is need for you to know that; there are things that are aligned to you and therefore meant for you. This is another reason why certain types of requests you make to the Divine or your god or gods are not answered; some are answered not by the one you call upon but by the elemental attached to you which you are uninformed of.

Really they do not seek your worship. They came to serve you and that is why they followed you into this world, so if you go close to them, they will help you. I am a living testimony. They are unemotional so they do not have egos or pride, many esoteric paths and traditional religions get the wrong ideas about them by worshiping and bowing down to them as though they are our creators, no, they neither need your worship nor praises.

Now, in order to explain the four elements and the Soul groups of each element, I shall be using the “Ogbanje” as a case study. If you can understand this ancient African concept of Ogbanje which relates with the water elemental’s and the marine world/kingdom or realm, then you will understand the concept of Fire, Air, and Earth which I shall present to you in a future article.

WHO IS AN OGBANJE CHILD?:

OGBANJE is an African concept that states that there exists some set of spiritual and advanced special souls who come to earth for a more special reason, these sets of Souls are known as the Ogbanje (in Igbo language).

These set of people are widely believed in traditional African written and oral mythology to be people who incarnated from the Marine World and possesses some sort of magical powers to command their desires.

They are highly revered and at the same time discriminated in the society because of the mysteries surrounding their births, lifestyles and deaths. Ogbanje’ s as we know it in Igbo speaking areas of Nigeria has the same meaning in Ndoki language as “Owu”. Yorubas calls it “Emere”. Many other tribes and people of the black race are aware of their existence and their names vary depending on language and dialect but they exist in our tradition even as I write this article. An Ogbanje has no definite sex. An Ogbanje can be a female or a male child as I am one myself.

FIRST CATEGORY OF AN OGBANJE CHILD

One of the major misunderstandings concerning this topic in our society is the fact that people do not know that there exist two different sets of Ogbanje children. We have those who come to earth solely as punishers, used by the universal powers-that-be to fulfill the law of karma.
Now, let us discuss the Ogbanje child who enters a family as a punisher, particularly targeting their mother, and recap the reasons behind their actions. Natural laws are always in motion, and the laws of karma supersede all others as one of the most important.
My explanation of this phenomenon and the Ogbanje child may differ from popular opinion because it is rooted in ancient Af’rakan spirituality. I have contemplated and considered every aspect of mysticism, spirituality, and natural and universal laws.
Through deep research into the spirituality and mysticism of various African tribes, and drawing from my own experiences as an Ogbanje child and those of many friends, I have arrived at this conclusion. This extensive exploration aims to provide a deeper and clearer understanding of who the Ogbanje child truly is.

So what are the reasons for their actions, why are they, the Ogbanje child called the punisher’s and what are they punishing them for?

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER: 

In past lives, some women may have misused their childbearing opportunities and abused their womanhood by undergoing multiple abortions or abandoning their newborns, leading to the harsh deaths of these infants. These actions, often driven by personal reasons, can have significant karmic consequences.
The souls of these lost babies, often born of water, may bring great suffering to these women, either in the same life or in a subsequent one. These women might be given a second chance with a perfect marriage and the opportunity to have children. However, an Ogbanje child of this category may incarnate as their baby to impart a form of punishment. This child will live a short life, die, and reincarnate repeatedly, causing the mother to experience the profound pain of losing a child over and over again.

This type of Ogbanje might live up to seven or ten years, or even up to twenty to twenty-five years, completing significant milestones like finishing school before dying on an important day. This cycle is intended to teach the mother a lesson through the pain of loss. The only way for her to break this cycle and attain a normal life is to make peace with the marine world.
This narrative underscores the themes of karma and reincarnation, illustrating how past actions can influence present and future lives.

According to a book by Falola: A Mouth Sweeter than Salt. University of Michigan Press Copyright 2005. p. 73-75. The book says a lot about this type of Ogbanje (The punishers), it reads:
An emere, in traditional Yoruba culture, is a child who can travel between the spiritual and physical world at will. A negative connotation is associated with the word, as it implies that a family’s child may disappear and reappear at will. 

The impatient emere wants the best of heaven and Earth. An emere is a spirit in disguise, misrepresenting death as life, and is clever enough to disguise his objectives. Believed to be more powerful than witches, they most often die on a particular day of joy. On wedding days, when having their first baby, graduation from university etc. depending on the degree of happiness the event might cause. They are also believed to be extremely pretty, and have seductive powers.

The emere gives unconditional support to heaven while on earth, distorting the balance of power, betraying Earth and its followers, annoyed that Earth did not allow visitors from heaven.
An emere is usually considered a female (but mostly there are males too, all depends).

According to this book, Falola didn’t exactly state the inner and higher reason above all on why the Emere should punish their parents, this is why my explanation touches every angle, hitting the nail right on the head.

SECOND CATEGORY OF AN OGBANJE CHILD

What is so mysterious about the Ogbanje child?Is it their beauty which dazzles like the morning Sun or their aura which they usually exude?
Is it the powers they possess which allows them the liberty to sometimes, if by the will of their higher self can create things others may consider a miracle or mystery.

Or is it the mysterious way they usually depart the earth or the tell-tale signs that accompanies them during birth?
Perhaps its the luck that and blessings they come with at the time of their births, as many parents do experience wealth at the time of their births or is it the bad lucks and negative things that happens to those who offend them by making them angry.

However and whatever be the mysteries, these set of folks are really special people and should never be discriminated. Truth be told, every tradition of the world recognizes these special people and acknowledges their existence. India for example celebrates and even worships the Ogbanje children for the fortunes they usually come with.

Many people truly are unaware of this knowledge. Without first learning to understand the truth behind the Ogbanje child, many religious people tags them evil especially due on their religious creeds, they end up discriminating the Ogbanje child.

The ogbanje child phenomenon is a natural singularity that science and religion has not refuted, the Ogbanje child is demonized in Africa since the advent of the white slave masters who imported their religion and culture, then forced them upon the African ancestors. They demonized it because they could not explain the mysteries behind the Ogbanje child hence the need to demonize them and faze them out. (Smiles) Man naturally fears what he does not understand.

The same fear with which the primitive minds could not explain the mysteries behind the blue sky, the rain, the sun, the wind, the thunder and sea which led to the belief in anthropomorphic Being who lives up there in the sky and who oversees the affairs of mankind . If the White men who invaded Africa had seek the knowledge of the Ogbanje child through the Chief Priests and Priestesses who were the custodians of the African spirituality, they would have grasped in totality the hidden knowledge of the Ogbanje child and its correlation to what the Western and Eastern Mystery schools perpetuate today, however the knowledge these people teach today all has its roots in Af’raka. For example, the Western and Eastern esoteric schools teaches that there are 4 most important elements namely Earth, Water, Air and Fire, these four elements are inherent in the incarnate man/Soul. Some people came into being via Water; some came through Fire and some through Earth and Air just like I said in the beginning of this lecture.

This process was also demonstrated by the Bible writers in the book of Genesis. It is very important to note that there was an explanation of how everything was created in the bible except WATER. Why did the bible not explain how water was created? Is there something mysterious about water that the bible writers couldn’t explain? Well, the world itself is full of mysteries and only the deep is called the deep.

IS OGBANJE EVIL?

Ogbanje is not evil contrary to what Christianity says. An Ogbanje child from the second category possesses some sort of powers to heal the sick, bring fortunes and they usually come to the world as consolations to barren women who have been in quest of for the fruit of the womb. Some women especially the Ogbanje women who know themselves and what they stand for usually attract them consciously having known the type of people they are. The Ogbanje child has one very important task to earth people; the task of a healer. One who heals another of deep emotional trauma, or healing with natural and spiritual energies.

When I say healing, I mean it in every aspect of the word. They raise the vibration of the planet by awakening people just like I and many other Star Seeds are doing today, to heal and to answer the prayers of parents who pray for children or to bring them good fortunes and prosperity The Ogbanje child is a special child with a special Soul and needs to be honored, loved and cared for, not feared or discriminated.

An Ogbanje child must not be angered, cheated or trying to take their lives, this is because they carry powerful forces that, just like every other human, they can get offended and may not spare you when angered. This is not to scare you, it is the truth, they can do this unconciously or consciously if the person is fully awakened. those who atempt to kill an ogbanje child dies before they succeed in their plans.

Now the very thing that makes people sad about their stories is the fact that an Ogbanje usually does not live long enough because they usually have missions to accomplish too in other realms and other lives, so when their mission here is accomplished, they go back to whence they came from.

But there are still some knowledgeable Chief Priests and Priestess who knows how to pacify their elemental spirits with effective rituals to ask the invincible powers of the marine realm to enable them live longer…

By such rituals, the Ogbanje child will live longer; another way to assist such Souls to live longer is by teaching the Ogbanje child to know who they are, hiding this truth from them and indoctrinating them with false religions will only worsen the situation. Teach them who they are, and how they can access their inner powers, communicate with their spiri elementals, and when the time comes, they can project their minds within, and request for more time which would be given.

Some parents, out of ignorance, block their children’s psychic centers and third eye through the intervention of priests and priestesses, simply because their children see invisible beings that visit them at night. These children often interact with these beings, sharing conversations and food. Instead of suppressing these abilities, parents should allow the chief priests or priestesses to impart certain knowledge to the child and soothe the spirits.

As the child grows into adolescence or adulthood, they will understand their purpose. If their mission is accomplished and the invisible beings come to take them, the child, out of love for their parents and friends or other desires, can request more time to live and achieve more on earth. These beings respect free will and will honor such requests, allowing the Ogbanje child to have more control over their life. They will no longer leave this world unexpectedly, as their psychic centers and third eye remain intact, unlike many Ogbanje children today who suffer due to parental unawareness and misguided advice from those unfamiliar with spirituality.

In Nigeria, Ogbanje children are particularly common in the Riverine areas, such as Rivers State, Cross River State, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Imo, Bayelsa, Anambra, and Edo. A traditional priest friend of mine mentioned that during a visit to a traditional function in the Fuga area of Auchi, he learned that “Ise” means the same as Ogbanje.
The Black race is often misled into embracing foreign cultures, forgetting that these cultures rarely accept African ideologies. It’s important to reflect on this and recognize the value of our own cultural and spiritual heritage.

If Ogbanje is evil, how come some European or American Hollywood/Bollywood movies portray mermaids as benevolent creatures of the sea? Why do some churches go to the river banks for spiritual and physical cleansing? Why is Roman Catholic always attracted to the water to the point of naming their Virgin Mary as the “The Lady and Star of The Sea”?

It is when you begin to ask yourself these pertinent questions that you will realize that so many African traditions are still in practice today within most of the religions of the world, especially; Christianity, this lends credence to the widely believed postulation that states that “Christianity copied from Paganism”.

According to a social media friend of mine, Sire Kelvin S. N, He wrote and I quote: White Man’s religion which should have been antithetical to the supposed African culture is regrettably an edited version of African spirituality.
Black man should read to emancipate himself/herself from ignorance. We just love to be fed with anything and we just eat without questioning.

WHY ARE THE OGBANJES ALWAYS REPRESENTED WITH A SNAKE (COBRA)

The serpent has long been a symbol of the Mother Goddess and the marine kingdom, representing wisdom and knowledge. In ancient texts, such as the Bible’s Book of Proverbs (an esoteric work later altered by Christianity), wisdom is personified as Sophia, and in Genesis, it is symbolized by the wise serpent.
All Ogbanje are believed to originate from the marine world and are considered the children of the Cosmic Mother, the Star of the Sea. This connection endows them with profound wisdom and knowledge, especially those who are aware of their true nature.

Ogbanje children are often exceptionally intelligent and wise, frequently excelling in school and earning the reputation of being “old souls.” However, many Ogbanje are unaware of their true identity due to their spiritual channels being blocked. They may dream of snakes, which are their messengers and guides, but instead of embracing them, they fear them and the water, not realizing that their true identity lies behind this fear.
Some Ogbanje even dream of transforming into snakes. All Ogbanje are shape-shifters, though many are unaware of this ability. This unconscious shape-shifting can cause their appearance to change periodically, making them look different at various times of the day.

With proper training, an Ogbanje can consciously transform into different forms. There are individuals who possess this ability even today, often experiencing amnesia after certain spiritual events, which they might recall only as dreams, though these are actual phenomena.
This narrative highlights the deep spiritual and mystical aspects of the Ogbanje, their connection to the marine world, and their inherent wisdom and shape-shifting abilities. It also underscores the importance of understanding and embracing one’s true nature to unlock hidden potentials.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE AN OGBANJE CHILD?

Below are the forty three questions I have for you. If you can answer sincerely and honestly and get a YES (positive) answer to about thirty of the questions, then you will know that yes, you are an Ogbanje.

Recognizing this aspect of your identity today reveals that your elemental affinity is Water. In times of need, you should invoke the Higher Powers associated with this element. Rather than calling upon masculine gods or deities, you should seek the guidance and assistance of the Goddess or the Cosmic Mother, also known as the Queen of Heavens or the Star of the Sea. Alternatively, you may call upon the water maidens of the Mother Goddess. They will respond to your requests and invocations if they are made with proper submission and reverence.
