A redhead African  is about as common as a European with red eyes. And there’s a good reason for this – being an albino causes them both.

Except when people are of mixed ancestry, red hair in Africans is usually caused by a kind of albinism. When people think of albinos, they tend to think of white hair, pale skin and red eyes. While this is true for Caucasians, albinism works differently in people of African descent.

There are a few different kinds of albinism in people of African descent, but the one that gives red hair is called rufous albinism. People with this condition have a red-bronze skin color, ginger-red hair, and blue or brown eyes.

How is someone an albino? All of our coloring – our skin, hair, and eye colors – comes from melanin. Melanin is just a pigment, or colored chemical substance, like the ones that are used to dye your clothes or maybe even your hair! Melanin comes in two different forms – pheomelanin (the red kind) and eumelanin (the brown kind). 

 It is significant that in ancient Egypt, as Manetho tells us, human sacrifices were offered at the grave of Osiris, and the victims were red-haired men who were burned, their ashes being scattered far and wide by winnowing-fans. It is held by some authorities that this was done to fertilize the fields and produce a bounteous harvest, red-hair symbolizing the golden wealth of the corn. But these men were called Typhonians, and were representatives not of Osiris but of his evil rival Typhon, whose hair was red Set was the black boar who swallowed the moon each month, obscuring its light. He was also identified with the hippopotamus, crocodiles, scorpions, turtles, pigs and donkeys - all animals which were considered to be unclean or dangerous. Some fish were considered to be sacred to Set (most notably the Nile carp and the Oxyrynchus) as they had apparently eaten the penis of Osiris after Set had dismembered the dead king. However, he was most often depicted as a “Set animal” or a man with the head of a “Set animal”. The Set animal (sometimes known as a"Typhonian animal" because of the Greek identification with Typhon) is a dog or jackal like creature, but it is not clear whether it exactly represented an extinct species, or was a mythological beast uniquely associated with Set himself.

.

He was thought to have white skin and red hair, and people with red hair were thought to be his followers. He was associated with the desert (which takes its name from the Egyptian word “dshrt” - the red place). He represented the fierce dry heat of the sun as it parched the land, and was infertile like the desert. Initially he probably represented the desert near Nubt, but soon he represented all deserts and foreign lands, becoming a god of overseas trade. Set had been associated with the desert and foreigners for some time before the Hyksos took over parts of lower Egypt. However, when they took him as their main god, this broke Set’s association withLower Egypt. His name was erased from monuments and his statues destroyed. All of his negative attributes were emphasised and his positive side was ignored.

The thing is that these days, having red hair and light skin can’t really hurt you because we spend a lot less of our time outside than our ancient ancestors did, and we have modern day conveniences like sunscreen. But 100,000 years ago when the first humans were evolving, things were a lot different.

Our ancestors most likely first developed in Africa where the sunlight is really strong, so they needed the protection that comes from darker skin. Red hair and light skin would have been very unhealthy, so it was selected against. As people moved farther north, the sun’s rays were less intense and they could afford to have mutations in their melanin system that gave them lighter skin and hair. That’s probably how we got the Caucasian red heads we have today who so often trace their roots to Northern Europe.

Groups who stayed in Africa would have still had some people with melanin mutations who survived and passed this trait on to future generations. That’s how there are modern day Africans with red hair. It just turns out that the most common mutation that stayed in the African population is different than the one that traveled north, and that’s why the African redheads are different from the Caucasian redheads.

there is great truth behind the 29th degree in astrology. this is a very rare, powerful & magical degree, & it should not be taken lightly. i have my saturn in taurus to the 29 degree, as well as my Mars in Cancer to the 29 degree. with this degree, you are completing an important phase and reaching your souls completion in this lifetime. it is now time for a higher initiation, fated mission, and pre-determined events from your past life actions are now able to push boundaries and break moulds. this degree also helps push you towards your spiritual journey and awakening process so that you may ‘wake up’ to your souls mission and purpose for this lifetime. that’s why this degree is mostly found in charts of those who are walking a twin flame journey in this lifetime — this degree is powerful & magical & allows for this union to take place. the reason for this is because our twin flames are not our soulmates but our spiritual teachers who put everything in perspective for us that needs to be healed so we can start this growth process and reach ascension. most twin flame unions take place under the 29 degree when your soul wants to end its incarnation cycle. with this degree, your soul incarnated for the sole purpose of ending its incarnation cycle so that you may finally ascend higher. your soul does not want to be Earth bound or incarnated on Earth at all for that matter — in such a low dimensional realm. however, the soul is attached to the vessel (consciousness) whenever you pass over after death and it carries with it these decisions of free will you made during your most recent incarnation, as well as your past incarnations. your soul always aims to ascend higher, but there is still the choice of free will here on Earth which can get in the way of your souls purpose and change its course. with the critical 29 degree, you have the tools you need to reach this completion which is why your soul incarnated during the highest and most critical degree of all during this lifetime. some human bodies can not take on this degree as it is too strong for the soul when put in human form, & this degree can possibly lead to murder & is often found in charts of famous serial killers. this is only because they fell of their course of their souls purpose & did not maintain alignment with their critical 29. when taken on and worked through — this degree is incredibly beautiful and will lead you towards true light after death, eternal bliss and peace, and will end your incarnation cycle once and for all. which is what your soul, at its core, wants.

im so fucking determined to get better i swear to god lets do this bitch lets go
