The Myal Temple

During the 500 year period of suppression of the Myal religion, the ancient institution was forced to go underground. The ancient priesthood was forced to continue in secret. According to the Morning Star Prophecy, the 500 year colonial cycle would end and the Myal religion would rise again. Help us to usher in the Rebirth of Myal through the building of the official Temple.

About the Myal Religion

The Myal religion is an indigenous religious tradition in Jamaica and the island’s first and oldest religion. It is a Jamaican Traditional Religion and devotees believe in the teachings of leaders such as Grandy Nanny, Granfa Cudjoe, Juan de Bolas, Paul Bogle, Sam Sharpe, Marcus Garvey et al, and participate in ceremonies, feasts, pilgrimages, charity etc. The denominations of Myal include Kromanti (Maroon), Kumina (Bongo) etc and reflect the storied history of the island and the legacy of colonial resistance. The main religious festivals are Lubolo Day and Day of the Opia. The four holiest sites in Myal are Dragon’s Bay, Lubolo Palenque, Nanny Town, and Cockpit Country. Myal teaches the existence of a supreme creator divinity, under whom are spirits in charge of the world and human affairs. Many of these deities are associated with specific areas and denominations, but others are venerated widely throughout Myal.

The Morning Star Prophecy & The Myal Rising

The Myal Rising will see a revival or Renaissance of the Old Ways of the First Time People. The Temple will be the spiritual birthplace of the Myal Rising and the rise of the Myal religion. The work of the Temple will manifest the Myal Rising and the fulfilment of the Morning Star Prophecy. The end of the 500 year colonial cycle would see the dawn of a new era that will bring about a shift in consciousness. This new era will see upheavals as the cosmos experience a great shift to achieve balance between the worlds. This era will usher in the dawn of a new age which will see an awakening necessary for the cyclical rebirth and a shift towards achieving the balance necessary for harmony and justice.
