In African Traditional Religions, ancestors may compel individuals to become priests, priestesses, or healers by causing them to experience schizophrenia-like episodes or illness, forcing them to serve in their bloodline's spiritual role; those who refuse may become sick and must return to their ancestral calling to heal themselves, though this system requires careful discernment as not all mental health conditions are spiritual callings.

Schizophrenia and psychosis in ancestral spirituality本站添加:
And so, that's my feedback on schizophrenia and what I've heard, especially with people. That's why I tell you too, uh many people that uh have been especially older generation.
I'm not talking about these new Ifa generation people. I'm talking about old Ifa uh old heads in the Ifa and uh old heads in the Voodoo. Most of them was dragged over in there because they were having a schizophrenic [music] episode. They didn't want to be over there.
I'm telling you, most of these people that's our priests and priestess in these ATRs, their ancestors drugged them over there by them having a schizophrenia uh type of episodes. Uh they were getting sick in their body.
And their ancestors told them, "You're going to get over there and do that or you're going to stay sick."
"You're going to stay sick until you get over there because that's in our bloodline. That's where we want you."
And they have drugged them over there to do that. It was not in their chosen. I even have one of my my step-grandmother was telling me about how she was a a root worker. Uh what would you call it?
A midwife. She said everybody in her family was a midwife. Her Her mother was a midwife.
Her aunts were midwives.
>> [music] >> Her mama's mama was a mid- Everybody was a midwife. So, this was passed down.
[music] And so, when she got older, she decided she didn't want to do it.
And people was telling her to do it. Her ancestors was telling her to do it. Her mama had came to her in a dream and told her she said she ain't She told them she wasn't going to do it. Well, she fell sick.
She fell sick. They made her sick.
And all the things that her mom and all them learned about root working and midwifery, she had to use that to heal herself. And when she would heal herself, she had to go back to doing mid- She had to do midwife like they wanted her to do or they was going to make her sick again. You got ancestors like that. They want you to serve a certain kind of way. You got some ancestors that's strict. Once [music] they get that priesthood is in the bloodline or that midwife or healer in their bloodline, >> [music] >> you got no choice but to take that up because that's in your bloodline.
Okay, you got some ancestors like that and then you need to tell them you're talking to these new priestesses and oh, I wanted to be over here and I wanted to do this. A lot of them getting over there for the wrong thing and a lot of their practice is stagnated because they're getting over there before the mystery and the power and the big pie in the sky and I'm going to be able to do all this kind of magic.
