We have put down all our culture and traditions. Massie would agree with me that the first time he visited Dawida he fell in love with it..and of course very curious to know more. I must admit that there is so much about Taita culture I do not know.Lets bring it out people

No new posts Black magic in Dawida

When you read the origin and culture of wadawida, you will find it interesting that there is a difference between wanganga(warighiti) and wachawi(wasawi). Warighiti are said to have been very important people in the dawida society; where else wasawi are said to be shunned off by society. We do not have enough information about the fact that warighiti used or did not use black magic to heal. Is there any association between warighiti and wasawi? Or is it all black magic?

No new posts How important is your mother tongue to you?

Just how important is kidawida to you? How are you helping in preserving the language and the culture? Most of the kids or even adults who live in the towns can not communicate in kidawida. What are we doing about it? Are we making any effort to teach our kids the language? If we are making any effort that is. I think the whole concept of culture, language and traditions is slowly eroding in Kenya. Intermarrying is not an issue, as a matter of fact it should be encouraged, but if we are not careful, soon we will be like the western countries- without culture and traditions. We should not let that happen
