What you will find within this online spiritual community
Dans la tradition Kongo, être Nganga Nkisi ne se résume pas à un titre ou à une capacité personnelle.
C’est une responsabilité spirituelle, exercée dans un cadre précis, selon des lois anciennes qui engagent autant l’être que le lieu.
Je suis moi-même Nganga Nkisi dans la tradition Kongo, initiée et reconnue dans cette lignée.
Cependant, je n’exerce pas ce rôle hors sol.
La tradition Kongo enseigne que certains travaux — en particulier ceux liés aux atteintes spirituelles lourdes —
ne peuvent être réalisés qu’à partir d’un ancrage territorial réel, sur la terre d’origine, dans un lieu consacré, avec les outils et les protocoles appropriés.
Exercer ces fonctions hors de ce cadre reviendrait à rompre l’ordre traditionnel,
à exposer inutilement les personnes accompagnées,
et à transformer une responsabilité sacrée en pratique dangereuse.
C’est pourquoi, lorsque les situations relèvent de ce niveau d’intervention,
les soins sont confiés à un Nganga Nkisi habilité à exercer sur la terre d’ancrage,
au Kongo dia Mfua, dans le respect strict des protocoles et des forces engagées.
De mon côté, j’assume pleinement mon rôle là où je me tiens :
celui de guidance, de discernement, de préparation et d’intégration,
dans un cadre adapté à la diaspora, fidèle au Nzila Kongo.
Cette distinction n’est pas une limite.
C’est une preuve de droiture, de respect de la tradition et de protection spirituelle
