An Except from "The Akan Other Africans and The Sirius Star System"

7.5 Malidoma Some: Dagara Gays as Gatekeepers and Guardians

I came across this text by Malidoma Some, an African shaman from Burkina Faso.
Malidoma’s books are to me nothing short of fascinating. He writes from the heart and his
books Of Water and the Spirit and Healing Wisdom of Africa are….the real deal! Yes,
certainly African spirituality is not all dark and scary. If you get a chance to read these you
may yet enjoy them and even possibly be assisted on your path.

It struck me because I realized that Malidoma was saying some really deep things about
some of the spiritual work done by his ethnic group the Dagara. I imagine that what he
says in this interview is only the 'tip of the iceberg', so to speak. What Malidoma is saying is
that there are individuals in his ethnic group who play the role of 'guardians'. They
maintain the dimensional portals, being entrusted to opening as well as closing them, not
only for members of their ethnic group but as this article suggests, for the entire human

Malidoma received some criticism from Africans and other black people because he talked
about gays. Those who are criticizing him are ignorant of the fact that the Ancient Earth
human was androgynous, that the members of his ethnic group who are performing the role
of guardians, in order to revert to a state similar to that of the Ancient humans, the closest
thing is gay or lesbian. Why? Among the Ancient Earther humans, before the gender split,
there was no sexual differentiation as we know it today. Secondly, when two or more
members of the same sex perform rituals together, the energy is much stronger/higher than
when the group is mixed. This is a fact that is known in possibly all magical groups that do
group work. This has to do with the nature of energy flows through the different physical
bodies (male and female). Mind you, being in a physical gay or lesbian body does not mean
that you are spiritual, so the angle at which to look at this from is the spiritual point of
view! I believe this is what Malidoma Some tries to do.

Malidoma says that among the Dagara, it is the male gays who become gatekeepers. This is because the male physical body creates a lot of energy of an electrical nature. If you have a
look at the beginning of section 7.1 again you will see that the androgynous guardians are
divided into two groups – one does work of a more electrical nature and another of a more
magnetic nature. Malidoma says that 'the male can vibrate female energy and vice versa'.
This is because the spirit inhabiting the male body (or the female body for that matter) is
itself androgynous and so has both male and female aspects perfectly balanced.
I think the most amazing thing he says in this interview is that the Dagara rituals ensure
that the 'gates remain open'. This is what guardians do, they work with gates (dimensional
portals). The Dagara people are here performing the functions of the 'maintenance crew'. I
wonder what the full extent of their role is, it could be full of incredible accounts. I would
add that many other African tribes have rituals that keep the gateways between our world

and the nature spirit realm open. This is why in Africa, nature spirit phenomena is
common. It is said that the Atlantean magicians abused their access to the portals, leading
those to be closed. In Africa, and I know also in parts of Asia (perhaps South America as
well?) there are guardians who are responsible for maintaining these gates.
Basically I am totally down with Malidoma on this one, and I say that his detractors are the
ones who are ignorant of the facts, or are not looking at this issue from a spiritual point of
view. Basically, it pays to look at things from a spiritual point of view. (Source:

elaborate for our readers?

The reason why I’m saying there are no such people is because the gay person is very well
integrated into the community, with the functions that delete this whole sexual
differentiation of him or her. The gay person is looked at primarily as a "gatekeeper." The
gateway that you are connected with.
