Types of ancestral spirits

The type of spirits -imimoya yedlozi There are two types of ubunyanga/imimoya mostly found in the Southern part of Africa. It is IsiNguni and Isindawe. IsiNguni is from the whole of Kwa-Zulu right up to Manguzi and Mhlab’ uyalingana. IsiNguni has two well known ‘spirits:- - Umndiki and Umndawe. Whereas IsiNdawe, which is from the North, West and Central parts of Africa:- - Umnono. UMnono is not that well and much known in the Kwa-Zulu area hence it has become a huge problem for the African Healers in the area. The reason is that it has its own special ‘herbs’-impande, which is only obtainable either from Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia and other countries in Africa. Isindawe came to Kwa-Zulu through the Shangaan people during the days of King Shaka. They are the only people who clearly know and understand it. 😂Speaking of Shaka I remember a lady telling me to differentiate between history and religion because history is something that happened and religion is something which is a belief(bese uzibuze ukuth' if then the two should be separated, sifika njani where we are?)😫 We all know what is history and ehat is religion. Read to understand not to respond. Most yenu nibulawa ukwazi isilungu ukundlula amasiko(you think reality is those debates engagement you used to have in primary and high school.) As I was saying... Umnono therefore cannot be healed with the IsiNguni ‘impande’ and vise-a versa. UMnono is the spirits of the ‘abalozi’, hence it is the only type of healing which is rarely found and known in Africa. The UMnono takes much longer time than the other IsiNguni spirits to mature. It can take between 10 – 15 years because it does everything on its own and one must be a good reader of the dreams and images as they operate through you. Also if the person is possessed by Umnono and is not accepting the calling as quickly asthey want, they can come with very harsh sentences which can easily leads to death. Indiki Indiki is another confusing term. It is completely different from Umndiki which is an ancestral spirit. Indiki is a ‘sign’ which one may have as an ‘umuntu omdala’ –an ancestor with you in a particular form. Indiki can be that you have to inherit the name of one of your ancestor’s name either an Old woman (isalukazi) or an old man (ikhehla), or it can be that somebody in the family who died long time ago is within you and he/she needs to becleansed in order to be free. Some people take indiki as a kind of sickness whereas it’s not. Once when consulted an African Healer (uhlanya), and identify what it is and what needs to be done, sickness can come to stop immediately. The most common indiki is where a person is supposed to inherit someone’s name who was living in the family, an ancestor member(omunye wamathongo). Many African Healers when they see this they start initiating people whereas he/she is not suppose to be initiated and such a person will never perform his functions as an Uhlanya. Nilele kanjani?
