Tuesdays on the Mothership

Tuesdays on The Mothership

In ancient times, the day began at sundown, as dusk and dawn are but a reflection of the other. At this moment in my life, I am enjoying the realignment with the ancient ways in all that I do. My life only sees creation and divination between visitors, the quasars and I speak much.

In the biblical creation story, Tuesday was created as day 2 of the week, the day Olodumare (The Almighty God/ess) formed land and vegetation from the sea. Some patakis(sacred stories) of ancient African spirituality speak that Tuesday is the day of victory, Iba se Ojo Isegun.

With that said, on Moonday, February 22, 2021, I launched an online radio station called 222.9 The Mothership, Your Mystic haven on the Airwaves...to combine the mystics with the practical. I alone manage all 24 hours, for the time being, and that time being is for grooming the newborn station in the way of ancient, divine timing…..

So...what are Tuesdays on the Mothership like?

Starting from the midnight hour, deep relaxation and sleep meditation plays, flows of sound with no lyrics, so give your spirit a space of restoration. The focus is the heart chakra, and clearing your heart church energies so it can be cleared and open to receive better manifestations. The 6th hour welcomes you to the dawn, and will soon deliver a mystic weather forecast.

The 7th hour brings about a 2 hour Orisa worship drum session, so that we may rise and groove in the way of the ancients. For Tuesday, the main orisa of focus are Ogun, Onile, and Ochosi. Ogun? He who owns the road, clearing obstacles off the roads leading up to your goals! He rules the woods and tools...and technology… and all roads lead to Him. Ochoosi? The hunter, the tracker, the law enforcer, the magician. He who never misses his target, working very closely with Ogun. Onile? She, the spirit of the Earth. Her wealth of vegetation is vast, and it is on this day Her wealth will be explored. A farmer from heaven (among other things) will be joining us on this day ..for wise exploration of Onile’s treasures. The 7th through the 9th hours are dedicated to their veneration.

The 9th hour invokes the spirit of an ancestor born during the present zodiac season, or inspirational music to keep your day in a positive vibe….this time in forward drive as opposed to emotional stirs we like to try to avoid. Moonday’s emotions take action today, as the moon’s rulership shifts to the insatiable drive of Mars. This is a major factor in determining whether actions taken today are positive or negative. So the music sets today help yesterday’s risen tides find drive. Today’s music celebrates the unapologetic brute force of masculinity. They jam though….

The 11th hour carves out time for my live drive, a show I brought back from my college days...where I simply host, guide, and let the Tuesday drive take hold of the sound. Temptations sort out balls of confusion, where O’Jays open stairways to heaven. Curtis Mayfield keeps on pushing while Coltrane keeps love supreme. Many other voices of the fathers fuse with some instrumentals to provide a safe listening space to feed the inner drive. That is until the clock strikes 2pm.

On the 2nd hour after twelve, will be commentaries on literature of my choosing. These choosings will from a range of renowned and local authors. All good readers are well read, if you take my meaning. The 3rd hour brings a spiritual message of mystic teaching from The Peridot Poultice, my Tuesday blog! The 4th hour brings in a mix of classic and current tunes mixed in a fusion. The 6th hour brings in a personal favorite, poetry….and not just mine. The underground gospel we call “rhyme” is shared by both local and renowned poets, and the list is still growing. For the time being, I don’t mind sharing mine….

The 7th and 8th hour return the energies of divine masculinity, relaxing, but classic tunes that explore and remind us of the musical genius of our people. On the 9th hour, The forecast for Wednesday comes. By then it will be after sundown and technically be Wednesday. The 10th hour deepens the mojo of the music, by its creation into my vision of what love looks like. Careful now...These sets have been known to induce the population increasing kind of love! 12 am again would mean its Wednesday….and that is another day’s journal entry.

In the meantime, feel free to “beam up” to the 222.9 The Mothership, and step into my world of funk, groove, mystics and sound healing!

Ase in Love,
