What is Moorish Culture?
A. Moorish Culture is mostly characterized by developing and improving the mind by education, or training.
A Moor is always supposed to be learning, building, teaching, sharing, and helping others. For knowledge sharing and simply enjoying one another's presence are the reasons for the Traditional Moorish Cultural Practice of Acceptance.
Regardless of factors that may divide Humans, Moorish Education is traditionally open to all. Moors also traditionally demand that Moorish citizens gain an education in order to become productive citizens and take their rightful places in the ‘Affairs of men,’ business, society, science, entertainment, and more.
Moorish Culture is a feudal culture of Navigator-Warrior-Scholars that rewards Respect, Honor, and Loyalty with Love. In fact, Moor literally means Love. To explain fully, here’s a page excerpt from “The Book Of Moors” (EL, 2023):
Meaning of the term Moor (The following is an excerpt from "The Book Of Moors: The Moor Rite Volume 1 Moor People Meaning and Military" (2023)):
The word Moor is a noun, adjective, and adverb meaning, More and Love. The sound, Moor, is a key to opening secrets of The Moor Empire and Culture. One thing I adore about the word, Moor, is that not only does Moor have the characteristic of abundance, but unending extravagance. If I think love, or anything that I need, or want, and ask myself, How much do I want, the answer is always, Moor. Maur (FR), Mohr (GR), and Muir (SC), as well as Muur, Moz, and Mos all mean, More, as in Moor People. In all Languages of Amor, Moor means Love, because Moors circumnavigated Earth and into Amor Languages and others, inserted the word, Moor, as the sound of love. The Spanish and Catalan languages’ word for love is Amor. The French language’s word for love is Amour. The Latin and Italian languages’ word for love is Amoré. The Portuguese and Galician languages’ word for love is Amar, which one will learn in "The Book Of Moors," means, Moor. The 1887 Cc creators of Esperanto, an international auxiliary language designed to foster peace, wisely chose Mas as the language’s word for love, obviously, because in several languages, such as Spanish, Mas means More. Another Esperanto word for Love is Amo, which obviously derives from the word, Amor.
In the Spanish language, Amorist and Amorino/a mean Lover and Amoroso/a means Elegant Lover. Languages of Love are Languages of Amor and have nothing to do with Rome, Romance, or being Romantic. Some languages without the Moor sound as their word, or root word for love, have either the Moorish EL or Bey sound. For example, the Norwegian, Icelandic, Swede, or Swedish, and Dane, or Danish word for Love, or Amor is Elskar. Ljubezen [Lu-Bey-Sin] is the Slovenian and Milestiba [Milestibey] is the Latvian word for Love. The word for love in Beyern, now Bavaria, is Bey. The German word for love is Liebey. And the Croatian, Macedonian, Serbian, Russian, and Slavic word for Love is Lijubey. As well the Norwegian word for mother is Mor. In Christian tradition, an Amoretto is a Cupid, Amaretto, like the dark liqueur. Moors gave courting behavior to the world with such gestures as giving flowers and chocolates, writing poetry, serenading, kissing hands, and keeping a locket of hair to feel, smell, and remember love no matter where one goes. Simply mentioning Moor may be an aphrodisiac, inspiring long walks, holding hands, tongue kissing, and Making Love, all originating from Moors and for that I Amor, Amour, Amoré, Amar that I Am Moor ☪ Some may ask, How powerful were the Moors?, to which I answer by pointing to the most greatest Moor power, Love, The First Pillar of Five in Moorish American Culture. The other four Pillars are Truth, Peace, Freedom, and Justice.
I concur that Moor interprets to Navigator by the North Pole Star, because so many Moors pass such down as tradition. After all, Moor People are the first Navigators of the Seven Seas, Seven Continents, and medically, the seven bodily functions. However, linguistically, I disagree that Moor literally translates to Navigator by the North Pole Star, because definitely, all of that is not contained in the tiny word, Moor.
One is a translation. The other is an interpretation. Love and simply More are the translations of Moor. Navigator by the North Pole Star is the interpretation by deeds.
In Moorish Culture, we build on the Principle of Five, that means, Five Family-Rule, Love-Truth-Peace-Freedom and Justice, and Fire-Earth-Air-Water-Spirit, represented by The Imperial Five-Sided Star Symbol Of The Moor Empire. Shaolin Temple Kongfu translates Fire-Earth-Air-Water-Spirit as Tiger, Panther, Crane, Snake, and Dragon. I mention Shaolin Temple Kongfu in relation to Moor Culture, because its founder is the Buddha Da Moor.
Moorish Culture reverences all women as Givers Of Life, because from women, we all come. Therefore, all women are seen as Mothers and all men are seen as Sons, represented by The Star and Crescent, The Imperial Moor Symbol. Mothers are our first teachers and groom us from the womb. My grandfather told that to my mother and she read to me in the womb, told me I was respectful and intelligent.
Moorish Education is traditionally open to all. However, that was when Moors ruled and controlled the education system. Now several Moors feel like keeping Moorish Culture closer to home is safest for Moors in general.
Other Moors feel that spreading Moorish Culture helps Moors by building awareness and allowing Moors to take their rightful place in the ‘Affairs of men.’
Moorish Culture is not Moors in Court, as one may learn in Moorish AI Question #16 How do I Proclaim My Nationality?
