WHO WERE THE TWA?! AND WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO WITH ST. PATRICK’S DAY?!
The Leprechaun was thought to be a type of fairy who dressed in a green or red coat and worked as a shoemaker.
These Leprechauns would save their earnings, in the form of gold coins, in a pot and the end of a rainbow.
It was thought that if you could capture one of them that they would grant you three wishes.
The name “Leprechaun” comes from the Old Irish luchorpán, a compound of the roots lú (small) and corp (body).
Despite what the Irish called the diminutive Twa, they went by another name, the Akan.
The Akan are a matrilineal culture, which means that they venerate the Great Black Mother and leadership and inheritance is arbitrated by women.
It turns out that the Leprechauns (Lepr-Akans) of legend were actually people from Africa known as the Akan/Twa.
These Twa were diminutive men and women (luchorpán) that grew to a height of about 4’11”.
They migrated into Ireland many thousands of years ago.
The Twa were skilled craftsman and had advanced knowledge of medicine, metallurgy, textile and clothing manufacturing and apparently shoe-making, which Caucasians thought was “magical”.
So we find that it was the Twa people that have come to be known as Leprechauns.
People who know the true history behind the story of St. Patrick’s day often look down upon “black” people who celebrate the holiday out of ignorance not knowing the history of the genocide that St. Patrick committed against the Twa. Other people say “what’s the harm in it, it’s just clean fun.”
I think that there may be something more to it.
Every year it seems that I see more and more so called “black” people taking part in the St.Patrick’s holiday festivities, dressing up as Leprechauns with shirts that say “Kiss Me, I’m Irish”.
I think that this is more than just a fad amongst our people.
I think that this is a form of Genetic Memory bubbling back up to the surface of the Collective Unconscious of “black” folk who so readily identify with all of the trappings of the holiday.
We are descended from the people of Africa and the people known as the Twa who later on where thought of as Leprechauns; the protectors of the “gold at the end of the rainbow” (translated: the secret knowledge of spiritual enlightenment).
Whatever you think about the holiday, now that you have some additional facts about it, its up to you to decide whether you want to participate in it or not.
Hmmmm 🤔 https://ireland-calling.com/history-stone-age-mesolithic-people/
As for me… I choose to remain a conscientious observer from a distance and Fuck St. Patrick’s Day 🤬
Peace! ✌🏾
