Love & Amathongo (Part1)
On this mother’s day, I thought it’s fitting to talk about LOVE, a subject that troubles many.
Izigodlo are filled with people seeking wisdom on Umaqondana / soul mate. Then there are hordes of people willing to go to the dark side, ‘bringing back lost lovers’ and all that rhetoric. Even though I agree that some love is broken through a 3rd party’s hex or intervening, but most relationships fail because people are not compatible, and the partner they had chosen was either not good for them or not approved by their guide.
The key is always to entrust the process to your guides when you go seeking love. Ask them! Plea that they intercept the process and give you insight so that you can have lesser heartbreaks. Give them a leeway to educate you about the kind of person they think will work for you. Meaning, you’ll have a mandate to operate on, and can begin to navigate the social and love-space empowered enough with a list of traits you should look for.
For example, if you are a spiritual worker, you can never hook up with a tradition-hating, Dlozi-hating, saved person calling your gift demonic. You cannot partner up with somebody who does not connect with you spending time on solo-retreats or tries to sidetrack you or does not understand the need for your mountain muthi-foraging activities. You cannot be with someone who sees no value in ukuphahla/prayer or does not want you to spend time with like-minded mates on prayer or imigidi nights. So, I’ve found a lot of patients (especially women) who have been through divorces and heart breaks because they simply chose someone who “seemed” descent because he had a job, loved kids and took her on vacations, but amathongo were like nope, he can’t even burn incense this one 🙄 yet the woman has some kind of spiritual awakening. Meaning that relationship was doomed from the beginning.
Then there are other folks who have no special spiritual gift and seek help too because they need nabo to be loved. Ubone insizwa igezile iyinhle, but they don’t have any intellectual depth. If you’re an intelligent woman it might be hard to match up with a partner who does not tap into a higher plain of thought on par with you. The issue is this: that intelligence this woman has is not hers, but comes from a particular guide yakubo who governs her life and being, and this gogo needs a partner who will match her up and build a foundation based on lokuhlakanipha kwabo, without feeling intimidated or without her daughter told “usuguna ukungiphatha ngoba uzitshela uhlakaniphile”. So what…her gogo must pretend to be dimwitted just to please a man. Yonakala laphoke! Abantu bwfune uku tan amathongo in order to fit into an ideal partner’s expectation!!!
On the inverse, you find that the person seeking help esigodweni is a metrosexual man who values urban life, fast paced business settings and equally loves women on stilettos with big business profiles to their name. Yet you hear his guides saying nope, he needs a woman who is something else than those he’s been trying it out with. Then the gun is stunned because he has never even considered ibhinca lentombi 🤣🤣🤣
That’s when you see the true power of amathongo. They have no I between. They know what’s good for you. Listen. Then you’ll love peacefully.
Happy mothers day to omama bethu. Siyanithanda zinzalabantu.
