Erykah Badu announced on Twitter yesterday that she and longtime boyfriend Jay Electronica decided to name their newborn daughter Marks Merkaba.
According to Crystalinks.com, the word Merkaba refers to a “divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masers to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms.” The vehicle is described as a kind of three-dimensional Star of David that “transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.” In the Bible, the Merkabah is described as a chariot made of angels with four wings and four faces that represent the four directions and take the form of a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle.
