As a result, when totems were developed, animals were used to represent the elemental spirits in different forms of nature. These types were used to communicate ideas through signs, gestures, sounds, dances, tattus, fetishes, mdw ntr, alphabet and so on.
Fetish objects are merely a way to carry with us a three dimensional reminder of the elemental spirit and reminder of the totem, thus reminder of who we are in relation to all else.
The fetish objects were not worshiped, but were held in high regard because they were the tangible, touchable visible representatives of the intangible, invisible spirits whose powers gave birth to and sustained all things. This is why some human members of the totem were highly regarded because they were tasked with maintaining spirit connection. This is also why other rulers such as Per-aas (pharaohs) were highly regarded. They were repas of the spirit.
Spirit, The God Of Touch Needs To Be Touched
Sa (Ka) is the god of Touch. Sa is spirit. Spirit needs to be touched. Touch is essential for the functioning of elements and chemicals and for motion to take place. Spirit needs us to be ever-aware of the spirit's presence in all things, all actions and interactions. This awareness is necessary for optimal functioning of self and all else. A fetish is simply the beginning of the process of humans using physical reminders of the spirit's active involvement in our daily lives. Now what can be so God awful about that?We humans like to tell each other “keep in touch.” It makes us feel friendly, thoughtful, special, loved.
Spirit needs to stay in touch with matter. Spirit also needs all creations, who have the capacity to remain aware of self as spirit and of spirit's presence in all else. This awareness undergirds the optimal context necessary for harmonic thinking and behavior. The progressive thought achieved by early humans is a beautiful progression that aided them in figuring out the foundation of all things and building multi-levels of thought. Every aspect of nature is an example of technology. A fetish is the further use of technology. Any use of technology is supposed to help us stay in touch with totems, which includes other creations in all their forms and all elemental forms of spirit.
My Flag, My Fetish, My Bad
Very Short List of Types of Fetishes: objects, figures, images, symbols, statues, idols, amulets, talismans, mascots, tokens, good luck charms, bad luck charms, holy books, flags, clothing, skin, horns, teeth, feathers, rattles, tails, hair, roots, bones, ivory, skulls, stone, wood, plants, ankhs, gree-grees, gru-grus, ju-jus, enquizi, mokisso, rosary, cross, bulls, cows, pigs... (AE1 112-13/122-3, 115-16/125-26), (NG2 33/51) Fetishes are ubiquitous. Each fetish represents a specific elemental spirit and one or more manifestations. A fetish later became used to represent the spirit of a human ancestor. Fetishes were not chosen randomly but developed as a means of expressing thoughts using Sign-language based on what their senses experienced in their environment. In earlier times, the connection of fetish to totem to nature to communication to spirit was commonly understood, yet as times changed, these things faded and became misused or became secrets. (AE1 113/123, 117/127, 120/130), (NG2 16/34, 51/69) A fetish is simply another way to express Sign-Language. The alphabet is a form of Sign-Language. The alphabet is a fetish and so are all character sets of all languages. All languages use characters based on nature to express thoughts that were previously expressed mainly through gestures and signs. We have a reverent regard for our languages and what we think they represent (high intelligence). This is a spiritual reverence that makes us feel more in touch with some higher power that made us superior to other animals. A knotted tie is one of the most primitive and important of all fetishes. It is the gree-gree and a form of ankh. We've modified the knotted tie in many ways when we tie things such as scarves and necklaces, but especially necktie and bow tie, which together, form another version of the ankh. (AE1 116/126) In a reversal of fetish, the number two current day fetish takes the form of humans. These are humans we consider as prophets or intermediaries between us and divine spirit or between us and divine higher authority. Most elected, anointed or self-appointed “officials” are also usually held in higher regard than the general public. This includes valuing their lives more. This is fetishism gone bad. Famous, fetish, what's the difference? Probably the number one current day fetish is a flag. A flag is a symbol of the national totem that represents the identity of the person. This identity is tied to multiple ideologies that make us feel empowered and entitled. People die for flags and kill for flags. Pieces of cloth with markings on them. They regard the flag more than life. This is an aberration, abomination and suboptimization of the use of fetish. The spirit associated with flags is the human spirit of a small group of people rather than the elemental spirits of all creations, thus the ideologies under all such flags infringe rights of creation, even among citizens under the same flag and in the same subgroup and in the same family and in the same household. (Churchward: Signs 108-110/605) All items used by superheroes are fetishes; however, spiritual acknowledgment has been left out.Lastly, a person called a “muse” is a fetish.
Fetish As Mental Medicine
The fetish we place faith in and hold in high regard, forms a covenant relationship. “I respect and honor you, the spirit, then you continue to help me in multiple forms. I seek to align myself with you and gain favor by treating you and all creations with respect. I especially seek your powers of food, water, protection, healing and continuous self-renewal (eternal life).”Most of us still seek some sort of afterlife and are doing so through the use of fetish objects (bibles included) and rituals as a means of worshiping an invisible spirit who can help us achieve eternal life. Christians still use the lamb animal of God and objects shaped like crosses. We still use many images of humans, other animals, plants, and the primordials in our religious ideologies. The fetish shaped like a cross is commonly thought to have the power to ward off evil spirits and vampires. (AE1 11213/122-3) This is another perfect segue to the faith we place in current human fabricated medicine. Human medication and treatments are also fetishes and covenants that we think have the power to heal us.
Before the rampant aberrant transformation of medicine into medication and the abandonment of food as medicine, fetishes were worn to invoke the power of the mind to heal the body in conjunction with the invisible superhuman elemental spirit power of self-renewal. Eventually it was understood some objects did have healing power. This was the beginning of medicine as a separate item from food, but not separate from spirit and not separate from medicine as something naturally occurring that Mother Spirit gave birth to through Mother Earth. Medicine was also not separate in a way that it came with the current faker's dozen of sickening side effects. (AE1 117-19/127-9) The past 15,000 years, beginning with the Age of Herakles, are the first half of the Heraklean Great Year of the Human (Four Ages are the Prepubescent Period). This is why we must redo our context, definitions, meanings. It's time to grow up as humans during this period when humans, under Lord as Herakles, have been allowed Earth rule and to symbolize spirit in human likeness. Kepheus begins the second half of the Great Year of the Human (Four Ages are the Pubescent Period).
During earlier times we knew aspects of nature had healing power. Then we knew that power could be directed through the assistance of medicine women, medicine men, ngangas, witch doctors, sorcerers, magicians, shamans and other names of people we immaturely and prematurely denigrate. However, today we still use the same type of people as doctors, nurses and medical people by any name. Both groups use potions, spells, concoctions, and “strange” methods.
