occult Exapagorate Chivanhu (Zim's African Traditional Religion)?

recommended
First and foremost, Chivanhu is the folkloric, culture and conduct of Shona people in Zimbabwe (i.e. tsika nemagariro) and furthermore, Chivanhu encompasses operative magick and divining magick as a means of ancestor worship (or the veneration of the dead).

Therefore in the aforementioned context, it is a religion to people who worship Musikavanhu via appeasing ancestral spirits to take into account their needs, wishes, and desires.

If Chivanhu involves both operative magick and divining magick why do some people say that Chivanhu is compatible with Christianity? So can Zimbabwe's African Traditional Religion really be compatible with the Bible?

Were are the elements of divining and operative magick in Chivanhu?

You should know that Chivanhu can be used for divination purposes and predicting future events. Doing so acknowledges the presence of divining magick in Chivanhu.

In addition, appeasing ancestral spirits, mashavi, etc supports my point of saying there is definitely operative magick in Chivanhu. Even witchcraft in Dzimbabwe is done through the means of being familiar with Chivanhu—you don't just do that out of nowhere.

Any minor similarities between Chivanhu and Kabbalah?

The minor similarity between Cabala (Qabala or Kabbalah) and Chivanhu is that they both can be classified as occult sciences depending on what the person is doing with Chivanhu chacho. In fact, Cabala has what they call practical magic.

The Traditional African Religion side of Chivanhu is the one that is NOT compatible with Christianity. I am talking about things like:
  • Necromancy
  • Witchcraft
  • Theurgy
  • Oneirocritics
  • etc.
Anything else is okay because Chivanhu also instructs people to observe good manners and ubuntu. There is nothing wrong with that. Even Christianity clearly encourages people to live in peace and harmony.

So a golem is just the same thing as a chikwambo?

Yeah, there isn't any major difference between a golem and chikwambo. They are all the same.

This is done by a process of turning an inanimate object into life via magick! But it's not something to play with. It's serious business and very deadly.

What is "oneirocritics?"

So can oneirocriticism be used to tell if someone has shavi renjuzu?

Absolutely, yes. But these types of things are forbidden in the Holy Bible.

Shavi renjuzu and the Holy Spirit don't mix well because God ("Jehovah") is a jealous God who requires full-time dedication without venerating any other spirit except the Holy Ghost.

One has to ONLY make room for the Holy Spirit and this obviously creates a conflict of interest to those who think they can blend African Traditional Religion (Chivanhu) and Christianity.

It even leads to more confusion for the uninformed since they are often told if you reject vadzimu vako ("your ancestors") or shavi renjuzu you will suffer so you have to accept it.

Does Chivanhu accept and support the LGBT rights movement in Dzimbabwe?

No. There isn't any gay rhetoric and cultural norms in Chivanhu.

In actuality, people are taught to maintain the family unit kuti dzinza rikure ("so that the family grows").

This means people of the opposite sex getting married and begetting children of their own. And also raising those children with the same moral compass of Chivanhu.
