Searching for soul enlightenment.

 When people talk about coins, teeth, and African traditions, they typically refer to one of three distinct cultural practices.

1. The Tooth Mouse in South Africa

In South Africa, many children leave their lost baby teeth in a slipper next to their bed rather than under their pillow. Overnight, a "Tooth Mouse" (or Tandmuis in Afrikaans) visits, takes the baby tooth, and leaves behind a small gift, treats, or coins in exchange. This custom is closely tied to European and Hispanic folklore brought to the region over time. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

2. Traditional Dental Alterations

In certain regions across Central and East Africa (such as the Congo, Cameroon, and Uganda), some communities practice traditional tooth alteration. This includes the intentional chipping, sharpening, or filing of the front teeth (incisors) into pointed shapes, such as the akuha tradition of making teeth resemble those of a crocodile. These modifications often serve as a rite of passage, an indicator of tribal identity, or a spiritual symbol of beauty and power. [1, 2]

3. Spiritual Use of Coins and Teeth in Folk Magic

In some traditional West African spiritual practices and folklores—often seen in the context of household items like wooden mortars—there is a historical and ritualistic link between the two. Historically, when items like wooden mortars were brought into a home, ancestors or practitioners would place a coin inside to symbolically "occupy" the space. In the ancient times before coins were invented, actual goat teeth or salt were placed into the mortar as a substitute.

On call

 

Diggin deep

 Glittered out

As mine

To never be removed 

Only to the next 

Item

Is it true

I am unreal

Just a token of

Being spoken for

By I knew you

We’re coming for me

Somehow

Never actually ready

For the deep

Dive of

How low is too low

Not being formed

Into the same ole

Let me see

Then if I’m lucky

I can leave without

A mark on me

Only to feel like

Why can’t I stay

Looking out for myselfs

Devilish

Ways of

Being

Lay their

Without a sound

Cause I’m tired 

Of whoopin your ass

For some stuff I

Told you not

To do before.

It’s for your own good.

I hate this as much as it hurts you

To learn sooner or later

You will

And maybe the lash

Won’t be worth the tears

Filling up my face.

Called systematic living

Let’s break the chain

And recognize another

Way

To get points across.

Like this finger saying

No you didnt.
