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 rooted in ancestral knowledge, centered on healing, protection, and the restoration of balance between the physical and spiritual worlds. It emphasizes community, moral order, and the guidance of ancestral forces through ritual, prayer, and embodied practice. Priest Alex will be hosting the annual Kumina rite which will start at dusk on the 11th of July this year and end at dawn on the 12th of July in Fairy Hill, Portland, Jamaica. Connect with us if you would like us to facilitate a guided experience.

The Myal Temple

Despite the ancient institution being forced underground during the 500 year period of colonial suppression, the tradition continued in the mountains especially among rural communities and the Maroons or Palenques.

The Morning Star Prophecy & the Myal Rising

Our wise ancestors knew that civilization is governed by cycles. It is prophesied that in the time of the Morning Star there will be a revival or renaissance of Kimyala known as the Myal Rising. This renaissance will see the dawn of a new era that will bring about a shift in consciousness where traditions will flourish.
