Abstract
An effort at developing a version of the crafting, ensouling and dedication to an initiate, of an edan ogboni, a central symbolic form and spiritual vessel of the Yoruba origin Ogboni esoteric order, in the context of an aesthetic and cognitive mysticism, the mysticism of beauty and the mysticism of knowledge.
Aspirations in Aesthetic and Cognitive Mysticism
The lines above [ poem in larger text] are a summation of an understanding of the path of Ogboni mysticism in relation to a reworking of the traditional procedure for the ensouling of the sculptural form known as an edan ogboni and its dedication to an initiate, a development of the mystical potential of the ideas and practices of the Yoruba origin Ogboni esoteric order as described in my "Metaphysics and Epistemology of Ogboni Mysticism", of which parts 1and 2 have been published on Facebook. The poetic expressions demonstrate an aesthetic mysticism and a cognitive mysticism, two approaches of this mystical philosophy.
