Mula: The Primordial Ancestor
From the pit of the bottom (Huh), that knows no floor
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation 'til the end all time
The Root, D'Angelo, Mula Venus Song
Mula is the fluids of creation. It’s the darkness from Nirrti. It’s the root of everything. The cause. The reason. Even when we talk about Rootwork in African American traditions, requires a lot of ancestral veneration. It’s the fire and the direct line of communication of spirit through the planetary energy of Jupiter, and the core energy of Ketu. Mula cuts to the chase.
The Root by D'Angelo covers this energy wonderfully. As it talks about rootwork, religion (Jupiter), and creation. The end of time. Ketu. Where nothing exists. The death, end of time. This is also why Ketu loves Scorpio, the sign of death and endings. It is also the bridge between giving back to your dead/ancestors. This is a double entendre between Scorpio/Ketu. Also the last song, Ketu is endings being Africa, which talks about the Motherland of Black Americans. Wonderful way to close out a Ketu album. His album was released while the transit Venus was conj his Rahu, giving it popularity.
Let me give you an example, Da Baddest Bitch (single) by Trina was released while there was a Nodal Full Moon. It didn’t get the traction it should’ve during the time of the singles release, as it was under a Mula Sun, but it has a huge cultural impact when it came down to this song being a classic in one of the most well known examples of establishing tricking culture.
Potatoes grow tubers, which are stems, but there are tuberous roots. Idaho, the potato state, was established when Ketu was in Mula. It’s known as a Gem state because of its hidden beauty. Ketu points to the hidden wealth found below Earth, towards the center. Mula can point to obscurity. It fits into my theory of Ketu not getting their due desserts. Maybe because Rahu represents junk food/dessert that the opposite scale of Ketu strips that away.
Questlove from The Roots has a Mula Mercury. They established themselves during a 7/Ketu year.
