Two-Year SGI Process

The Black Phallus

A two-year academic and demonstrative process for purifying sacred generative power through the Three SGI Gates: Auset/Yemojah/Devotion, Sekert/Olokun/Power, and Tehuti/Orunmila/Wisdom.

Before sacred force is carried, the phallus must be cleansed, its' power must be disciplined, and its wisdom must be witnessed.
4 Cowrie Foundation OduChi / Odu Ara Practice
2 Years of training
8 Seasonal gates
42 Negative Confessions
3 SGI pillars
Course Rhythm

The process moves through the sacred calendar: Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Fall Equinox, and Winter Solstice. Year One is academic study. Year Two is application, demonstration, embodiment, and proof.

The Three SGI Gates

These gates organize the 42 Negative Confessions into a living SGI framework. The goal is not to memorize morality, but to restore Ma’at in conduct, appetite, speech, body, relationship, power, and divine accountability.

1

Auset / Yemojah / Devotion

The Gate of Heart, Conduct, Cleansing, Emotional Purification, and sacred care.

Devotion asks: Have I protected life, or have I wounded life?

Heart Water Repair Obligation
2

Sekert / Olokun / Power

The Gate of Speech, Depth, Restraint, Sexual Force, Hidden Appetite, and inner pressure.

Power asks: Is my force governed, or does my appetite govern me?

Depth Mystery Restraint Force
3

Tehuti / Orunmila / Wisdom

The Gate of Witness, Discernment, Ancestral Accountability, Record, and divine order.

Wisdom asks: Can my life be witnessed without shame?
