You, your family and community are invited to participate in a Kemetic Karest mas Celebration, where true meaning is revealed and commercial practices are put aside. Like Kwanzaa demonstrates an African celebration, this book s research demonstrates the practice of a Kemetic Karest mas Celebration by our African Ancestors of the Nile Valley, Kemet, later called Egypt. In this reconstruction of Karest mas Celebration we re-Spiritualize those elements of our traditional African Spirituality that have become, materialized, perverted, Europeanized, debased, re-named, and potentized to be injurious to the African consciousness. We reclaim our sacred symbols, remove distortions and ungarble their meaning. This book moves Step by Step in reclaiming and incorporating each symbol. Diagrams and instructions are given for family and community participation in this Holy Day taking place at the Winter Solstice December 21/22 each year.
