Ukuvuma Idlozi/Accepting a calling - Part 2
People need to understand that not everyone onabantu abadala and not not everyone who completes ukuthwasa aphothule will become a practicing isangoma.
Sometimes all the ancestors want is for someone to rectify the mistakes that they made besaphila. i.e. It could be that they never accepted their calling nor acknowledged abanikazi beziphiwo zabo or perhaps they did not believe in ancestors etc. So as a result, when they pass on they are unable to be reunited to the rest of the ancestors and their spirits linger around in limbo or in search of a soul that can fulfill the what they were not able to. Once they attach or possess that soul, they start to make themselves known by afflicting pain and misfortune on their subject. This by the way is their way of saying, 'get your ass up and go find out why all this is happening to you' which is very selfish if you ask me. Mind you labantu come to their subject in an uncleansed state, they carry so much baggage with them in terms of emotions and unfortunately the chosen soul gets to feel all of this.
The affected soul then seeks help and goes through ukuvuma or initiation with the belief that they will become great healers or that they will never have to to work a day in their lives because of these great spirits that they carry with them. Which is all misleading! All is good and well until the end of intiation/ukuphothula. Once at home umakhosi:

- akakwazi ukukhulela emadlozini/emakhosini,
- akawazi ukuhlolela abantu??!!
- he/she complains that abadala don't communicate anymore
- amadlozi are now appeased hence the lack of communication
- all they wanted was for he/she to cleanse them, fulfill their wish of going through ukuvuma and ukuthwasa so that they could be reunited with our maker and the rest of amathongo and amadlozi
Having said all this, I would like to encourage everyone to ask as many questions as possible meniyohlola. Do not come out of a consultation with unanswered questions! If healer admits that they don't know or do not have answers to a question, don't fret and push them into a corner until they tell you fibs. Be satisfied and appreciative of that honesty and do your research.
Gogo ngiyabonga. Inkosi ikubusise ngakho konke osungenzele kona. Ungisize la besenginikezele khona. I never knew that impilo yam bingabuye ibuyele isimweni esiryt. You helped me when I didn't even have imali yokukhanyisa, wangibekezelela nemibuzo yam. Yazi sometimes uya kumuntu ngoba udesperate not knowing ukuthi lowomuntu is a living, walking, talking guardian angel. Uyikho konke kimi. Unga ma wami ngokwedlozi, ungudadewethu uphinde ube umngani futhi. Ngiyambonga uthixo ngawe Ndloldlo.
