Simbul’s Philosophy
Throughout African history, there have been many stories of valiant men and women who fought against slavery and colonization.
African communities were and, in some parts, are predominantly patriarchal based, hence most successful accomplishments by women are lost in history. No one will tell you that most African empires were led and built by women who were daring enough to go out of their way to protect and guide their people to victory.
Simbul is here to enlighten and at the same time, enlighten you, the customers and the curious mind, on and honor most African prominent figures, especially in women whose efforts have gone unnoticed. Even for many who are astutely familiar with African histories and legends, identifying a historical heroine in the stories of old tends to be so much hard work, unfortunately.
Simbul wants to predominantly highlight the female form of power which is a trinity: a priestess, a queen, and a revered mother, each associated with a goddess. Simbul will focus more closely on the queens, priestesses, and goddesses who were exceptionally prominent in ancient Africa.
Simbul will explore how ancient Africans understood female power and presence to be an essential enlivening element in maintaining Maat, the balance of male and female energies, in order to cultivate “divine right order” in the world and in the cosmos.
The prominence of powerful goddesses, the reverence awarded to the queen mothers and a series of sole-ruling queens (one of whom led her army in battle against the invading Romans), highlight the unusually high status of women in these ancient African societies along the Nile, throughout Africa, and serve as a fitting focus for the study of female power in the ancient world.
