On the Coronation of King Charles III

Open Your Brains.

The Scottish Stone of Scone (a Concrete Cement) and the Asanteman Sika Dwa (The Gold Stool).

A ridiculous remark by a Ghanaian Christian pastor that, the SIKADWA (the ancient symbol of Asanteman) is "heathen," got me riled up.

Of course, Africans have generally been mentally defiled by the European Christian propaganda which began in the 1820s, with the arrival of European Christian Missionaries to Africa.

A key lasting feature of that Christian propaganda, is the destruction of the African's Mind (Brain). It resulted in the wholesale acceptance of the European received idea. While correspondingly declaring all things African as "Fetish."

This defilement was accompanied by the total demonization of everything that defined Africans. It led to the bastardization and rejection of African Religion; Customs; Culture, and Traditions. Everything African was to be thrown away because the European Christians said it was "Fetish."

That is when I decided to do a rejoinder on the "Pastors" article, and unload on him, by referencing the Scottish Stone of Scone, aka the Stone of Destiny. The better to educate him, how a "Concrete Cement" is kept in his hallowed Church pedigree in Scotland and in England. And how that Concrete Cement is prayed upon in the Cathedral by the Pastors who brought their Religion to Africa. That European Religion turned him into their ventriloquist dummy. A puppet of the puppeteers.

And, to educate him, and others like-minded, that the Pastors and Missionaries of the Scottish Presbyterian Church, through which his Church, was established in Ghana; believed in their own Sikadwa, their Stone of Scone, made of Concrete Cement. They never call it "Heathen" nor "Fetish."

How did the Scots claim the Stone?

The Scots believe that the Stone of Scone came from their "God." They brlieve the Cement Concrete was the "pillow" that ancient Israel leader Yakov (Jacob-Yakubu) rested his head on in the town of Bethel, when Yakov claimed yo have physically wrestled with his Yahweh "God" and the "Angels."

Somehow, the Scots claim, the Jacob Stone traveled through Israel, Egypt, parts of Western Europe, and finally got to Ireland.

It was from Ireland that the Scots took the "Jacob Stone," to the town of Scone in Scotland. And, that is how the Stone got its name, the Stone of Scone. They claimed it as their Stone of Destiny. The Scottish believe that. It makes sense to them.

The Stone of Scone was then used as a Seat for the Coronation of Scottish Monarchs. It was believed to provid them with Spiritual Powers, just as it allegedly provided Jacob.

In the 1290s, King Edward I of England defeated the Scots (listen carefully); and stole the Stone of Scone to London where it was placed under the English Coronation wooden Chair at Westminster Abbey (a Church).

It was thenceforth used as accompanying seat for the coronation of English monarchs from the 1290s.

The Scots were furious, as Asantefoɔ were, when the English sought to steal our SIKADWA in 1900.

Our brave Ancestors, led by Queen Nana Yaa Asantewaa, (Yaa Asantewaa War of 1900) hid our Sika Dwa, and successfully fought the British to keep our Gold Stool in Kumase, Asanteman.

After English Queen Elizabeth I, died without any children to succeed her, the Scottish King James I, succeeded to the English throne (a process that eventually resulted in the unification of the two countries).

The Scots believed their King ruling a United Kingdom, fulfilled their prophecy surrounding their Stone of Scone.

However, as Scottish nationalism strengthened Scottish nationalist were enraged, and demanded a return of their Stone. Rumours that German bombs had damaged their sacred Stone, in the Second World War, fueled their demand.

Buckingham Palace and the British House of Commons refused their demands for a return of the Stone of Scone.

In 1950, four Scottish nationalist students managed to remove the Stone to Scotland from Westminster Abbey, and took to Scotland. A few months later, Agents of the British Scotland Yard intelligence team, brought it back to Westminster, England.

The Stone's presence in England, remained a sore point in relations between England and Scotland, significantly during the Devolution talks.

So, in 1996, it was mutually agreed that the Stone of Scone would be returned to its 'home,' in Scotland.

It was also agreed, the Stone of Scone would be returned to England to complete the Voronation Ceremonies of the English Monarchs during Coronation of the King/Queen of the United Kingdom. When the coronation is completed The Stone of Scone would be returned to Scotland. That's the arrangement.

The coronation of the new King Charles III would be incomplete without the "spiritual" input, and support provided by their SIKADWA.

So, the Stone of Scone will be returned to Westminster for Charles III coronation ceremony at Westminster Cathedral on May 6, 2023.

Note that it was one of King Charles ancestors, King James, who ordered English scholars to write the now most read book: The King James VERSION--- KJV-- of the Bible (aka Book). I leave you to salivate on that. But the English do not find any contradiction in the Stone of Scone, and the KJV, which you Africans read voraciously every day.

When I finished, my Pastor associate felt thoroughly educated.

Most educated Africans are miseducated when it comes to our Prophet Okomfo Anokye Kotobrɛ; and our SIKADWA, our Customs, Traditions, and our Historical narrative.

But they gleefully, and ignorantly embrace wholeheartedly the received idea hook line and sinker.

Asanteman yɛ wɔ Adepa, made possible by Ɔsɛi Tutu Ɔpemsoɔ I, and his Chief Priest, Ɔdeyifoɔ Anokye Kotobre.

Otumfoɔ Ɔsɛi Tutu II, Asantehene, direct maternal grandson of Ɔsɛi Tutu I, has been invited to grace King Charles III Corononation, at Westminster Abbey.

Asanteman Te Ase.
