has its PM Scientists, hip-hop has its Dr Octagon, and before all of them, George Clinton reinvented himself as Dr. Funkenstein. All are inflected with the dark awe of witchcraft, more Faustian than Hawking. It's important to note that in Jamaican patois, "science" refers to obeah, the African grabbag of herbal, ritual and occult lore popular on the island. Black secret technology is postmodern sonic alchemy, voodoo magic. Who are the orisha of African music? Who are the orisha that Mr. Jonker is referring to as playing a role in music like hiphop, techno and jungle drum and bass music? Author Erik Davis tells us that they are “tricksters“ and “living gods” in his article “Trickster at the Crossroads, West Africa's God of Messages, Sex and Deceit“ which originally appeared in Gnosis, Spring, 1991. He says “the orisha are regularly "fed" with animal blood, food, and gifts, and during rituals the gods frequently possess the bodies of the faithful.” In biblical terms the orisha would be categorized as demon spirits. Davis writes: “But one of the world's greatest and most interesting trickster figures is not only a god, but a god of high metaphysical content. He is Eshu-Elegbara, one of the orisha, the West African deities that are worshiped in many related forms across African and the African diaspora in the New World. While he embodies many obvious trickster elements— deceit, humor, lawlessness, sexuality—Eshu-Elegbara is also the god of communication and spiritual language. He is the gatekeeper between t he realms of man and gods, the tangled lines of force that make up the cosmic interface, and his sign is the crossroads. In the figure of Eshu-Elegbara, the West African tradition makes a profound argument about the relationship among spiritual communication, divination, and the peculiar chaotic qualities of the trickster. But before we investigate Eshu-Elegbara's character, we must first place him in the general context of orisha worship. The orisha, the gods of the Fon and Yoruba peoples of West Africa, are some of the most vital and intriguing beings ever to pass through the minds of men and women. The orisha are profoundly "living" gods, if by this we means archetypes, or constellations of images and forces, that actively permeate the psychic lives of living humans. On the simplest level they are alive because they are worshiped: orisha are prayed to, invoked, and ritually "fed" by many millions of people in both Africa and the Americas. Not only are the gods alive, but they are long-lived; unlike contemporary Neo- Pagan deities, which have basically been reconstructed from the inquisitional ashes of history, the orisha have been passed through countless generations of worshipers with little interruption. More profoundly, the very nature of the orisha is to be alive in the most fundamental sense we know — though our own human lives. Though they possess godlike powers, the ori sha are not transcendent beings, but are immanent in this life, bound up with ritual, practice, and human community. They are accessible to people, combining elements of both mythological characters and ancestral ghosts. Like both of these groups of entities, the orisha are composed of immaterial but idiosyncratic personalities that eat, drink, lie, and sleep with each other's mate s. Though West African tradition does posit a central creator god, he/she is generally quite distant, and the orisha are, like us, left in a world they did not create, a world of nature and culture, of sex, war, rivers, thunder, magic, and divination. The orisha are regularly "fed" with animal blood, food, and gifts, and during rituals the gods frequently possess the bodies of the faithful. (http://www.techgnosis.com/dub.html) The following excerpt from Jimi Hendrix’s biography reveal the voodoo basis of his music and his knowledge of the gods. It discusses the impact that the British session
drummer Rocki’s voodoo roots had on Hendrix. Rocki's father was a voodoo priest and the chief drummer of a village in Ghana, W est Africa. Rocki's real name was Kwasi Dzidzornu. One of the first things Rocki asked Jimi was where he got that voodoo rhythm from. When Jimi demurred, Rocki went on to explain in his halting English that many of the signature rhythms Jimi played on guit ar were very often the same rhythms that his father played in voodoo ceremonies. The way Jimi danced to the rhythms of his playing reminded Rocki of the ceremonial dances to the rhythms his father played to Oxun, the god of thunder and lightning. The cerem ony is called voodooshi. As a child in the village, Rocki would carve wooden representatives of the gods. They also represented his ancestors. These were the gods they worshiped. They would jam a lot in Jimi's house. (Henderson, 'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky, pp. 250-251). Keltech and Pyraplastic Records UK- Jungle Voodoo Demon spirits are invoked through voodoo ceremonies in the production of instrumental high energy dance tunes used worldwide. Pyraplastic Recordings was started in 1998 by hip hop and drum & bass writer, producer, recording artist and DJ Keltech. Pyraplastic produces unique cutting edge music for the underground dance music industry and media production companies worldwide. (http://pyraplastic.com) In his own words, Keltech tries “to capture high energy power inside my records so it unleashes holy h..l on the dance floor”. By 2002 his music had been downloaded nearly 200,000 times making him #1 on various MP3 charts worldwide. He has licensed tunes to companies like MTV USA and Sonic Foundry. In 2002, Pyraplastics staffed a Voodoo Priestess named Sharee (aka Scythian/TigerStyle) who headed Jungle Voodoo Recordings. (http://www.junglevoodoo.com) Sharee, a writer, reviewer, producer, web designer and DJ, began delving into the dark depths of jungle sound in 1996 and started the growing collection of DJ’s, Producers and MC’s comprising Jungle Voodoo recordings. She’s had releases on Homewrecker Foundation Recordings in the UK as well as on Jungle Voodoo recordings. PSYCHONAUT 75- Luciferian and demonic deprogramming rituals On the more radical side, yet “mainstream” enough to have participated in the infamous Burning Man festival, Houston, Texas based band Psychonaut 75 blatantly advertises their use of Anton Lavey’s Satanic invocations and high witchcraft, PHI and binaural beats and orgone theories of Wilhelm Reich in order to deprogram the minds of their listeners from the consumer mentality and promote self-evolution, selfawareness and the Left Hand Path of Satanism. Their website states that they are “stealing the fire from heaven“. The following information describing the band and it‘s music was taken from their website.
