Jessica Huntley service, Thursday 31st October 2013 at Christ the Redeemer Church, Ealing, was a beautiful celebration of life. The energy generated in the people who loved her, knew her or just heard about her was definitely great enough to ensure and secure her journey to the higher plane. Aunty Jessica came and walked her divine path. The ancestors are there guiding her on the power of earthly love. If I have a birthday party with half as much vibrancy I will be flying on the moon. The commemoration of her life left me quite speechless for the most part. I had to let the pulsations of the event flow over me, through me, around me and beyond me. There were times when I was mesmerised by the whole affair.
My thoughts journeyed between this celebration and the marking of my own mother's powerful life. My mother was also a well regarded, trusted and loved woman. She had touched so many peoples lives with her generous nature and inspiring love. My mother was a nurturer and it did not matter who you were or how old you were if you came onto her pathway and needed love nurturing she had it to give. My last thoughts before leaving the burial ground was that my Mother and Aunty Jessica will meet on the ancestral plane. They will have so much to talk about. After the church and the burial I went to another church in Northampton to tell a spirit tale "Ezigbo the spirit child. I dedicated that sharing to Queen Mother Jessica Huntley. I explained to my audience that in ancient Afrakan cultures, today is not about Halloween, the living dead and scarry stuff it is an opportunity to honour our ancestors, an opportunity to thank them and ask them to continue to bless us earthly beings with their guidance and protection as we walk our path of purpose. An opportunity to call down divine chi energy and surround ourselves in it.
I invited my audience to join me in the honouring of our ancestors and with that I shared a few words outlining briefly what Jessica Huntley meant to the Afrakan and Afrakan Caribbean community. Her book shop the power of transformation Jessica and Eric allowed to happen by publishing the books they did and what a haven they provided for lost souls to find themselves. She touched many people including the ones who only heard about her. She touched so many people I knew. Her funeral was an opportunity to renew friendships that I had let go. I hugged people that I love to hug. I met people in flesh that I had only communicated with via cyberspace. Jessica Huntley I bet you are asking yourself what the fuss is about and yet loving the fuss being made. I suffer from a lack of modesty, I tried to fight it but now I have chosen to claim it. I am a show off and any chance to boast I will, there I said it, and this looks like a chance. I would like to thank Queen Mother Jessica, during Afrakan remembrance day Aug 2013, for telling me I was the best storyteller she had ever heard . My response was - I am sure you say that to all storytellers. She told me that she had heard them all and no she does not. I tried to graciously accept the compliment, but it went straight to my head. I am sure she must have encouraged and guided and inspired many a being in her life time. I give thanks that I was amongst them.
Queen Mother Jessica Huntley My mother thanks you for being good to her daughter, my children thank you for keeping their mother's heart warm and I thank you for being here for us for as long as you were, May your spirit continue to shine and the ancestor show you favour for the connections and relationships you formed in your life time. RIP divine chi energy Griot Chinyere Xxx
