BESPOKECURRY GLOSSARY
Glossary of the Bespokecurry Cosmos
A Living Language for the Wata(ring) Whole
The Bespokecurry Glossary
The Bespokecurry Glossary is a living language archive for the wata(ring) whole—a cosmology of embodiment, care, Afro futurity, ritual practice, and relational technologies. These terms name what colonial language cannot hold: how bodies carry memory, how water teaches pace, how hair remembers spirit, and how community becomes the technology of return. This glossary is not fixed. It grows as practice grows.
Bespokecurry Glossary
Bespokecurry Cosmos
The larger cosmology that holds all offerings, worlds, and practices. A living system of ancestral alignment, embodied learning, and creative production.
Bespokecurry Glossary Terms
Planet: The Wata(ring) W(hole)
A living world within the Bespokecurry cosmos where Water Tech(know)logy is practiced. A space for crossing thresholds with care—between self, community, memory, land, and spirit.
Water Tech(know)logy
Ancestral technologies of care, memory, and discernment. Ways of knowing through body, water, relationship, ritual, and lived practice—beyond colonial definitions of “technology.”
Tings
They are fields of practice—places where the senses, the body, memory, craft, and spirit meet.
You don’t move through the tings to collect information.
You move through them to practice relationship.
Wata(rings) (Afro Hair Community Circles)
Small, community-rooted circles for consistent, non-commodified care of scalp and afro hair. A practice of reparations to ourselves through platonic, restorative rituals of care.
Bespokecurry Glossary Terms
S(hell)
Identity, mind, imagination—the housing for the soul. The protective forms we move through across lifetimes; some shells protect, others must be shed.
Earth / Sand / Clay
Community and foundation. Who we root with matters. Relationship must be evaluated as conditions change.
Water
Memory, body, and record. Water holds history and teaches thresholds—where release becomes arrival and the body remembers how to cross with care.
Waves / Rain / Atmosphere
Carriers of information. Discernment and heart intelligence. Reading conditions before moving.
Bespokecurry Glossary
The Watering W(hole)
The gathering place of all Water Tech(know)logy. A living system—never perfect, always evolving toward ancestral alignment with self, community, earth, and memory.
Bespokecurry Glossary Terms
(See)d
The visible manifestation of soul work. What is planted with intention becomes record and growth.
Animals
The recorders and spirit in living form. How we care for animals (including self) and land mirrors how we care for community.
Reverse OsMo(cis)
The shedding of binaries and colonial conditioning. Unlearning extraction and remembering ancestral ways of knowing and relating.
The Wooden C(u)p / The Tea
Meditation and inner listening. Quenching thirst, then discerning what to keep, evolve, and release.
Bespokecurry Glossary Terms
The Cloud
The stolen and fragmented record of memory. The ancestral archive that lives in bodies beyond western documentation, awaiting retrieval.
Wat(t)er Bearer
One who carries memory between worlds. A circulator of wisdom, not a hoarder of knowledge.
Bapt(ism)
Initiation through fire and water. Entry into new in(format)ion or misin(format)ion; discernment determines what liberates and what controls.
(Flo)at/ Flo(w)at
The practice of “I don’t know.” Turning inward to find one’s own flow rather than borrowing another’s current.
Bespokecurry Glossary Terms
Whole & Quee(a)r AF
A forever praxis of wholeness beyond fixed identity. TransAfrican, community-centered becoming. No part is bigger than the w(hole).
The Hole
What anti-Blackness and coloniality create: absence, extraction, fragmentation. The manufactured void that Water Tech(know)logy works to repair.
Sankofa
Go back for what was lost. Retrieve wisdom from the past to move forward with integrity.
Aya
Eban
Love, safety, and protection. Boundaries as care; shelter as sacred.
Bespokecurry Glossary Terms
Adwo
Peace and tranquility. Rest as practice; stillness as clarity.
Colonial Wild Fire
Speed without restoration. Urgency as control. Heat that scorches land, drains water, and creates The Hole through extraction and burnout.
Indigenous Wildfire
This is the space to introduce the Services section. Briefly describe the types of services offered and highlight any special benefits or features.
Water as Liminal Space
Water as threshold between states of being—where release becomes arrival and transformation becomes possible.
