Nuwaubian News
Remember when we were talking about the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors last Christmas morning?
You know, the Nuwaubians: that religious cult that built so much faux-Egyptian religious iconography on their compound in Eatonton, Ga? The same Eatonton, Ga that Joel Chandler Harris is from?
Yes, that photo was taken in Georgia, and boy howdy have I got news for you! From photographer Anderson Scott:
Atlanta Magazine is going to publish some more Nuwaubia pictures from the same series in its next issue. There will be a show of many of the pictures from Atlanta Mag. & Oxford American at Eyedrum Gallery opening June 23.
Who’s coming with me? Carson, you’re in. The rest of you, let me know: lain@wrensnestonline.com or via the comments below.
If you’re not sure or confused, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Take a look at this: Audio Slide Show – The Nuwaubians of Putnam County, Ga
For those of you expecting Wren’s Nest or Joel Chandler Harris news today (ahem, mom): tough! You’ll have to wait until next time when my brain isn’t so preoccupied with poison ivy or Nuwaubians.

ah yes, Nuwabia….how I miss thee.
The (former) property is on my route to Lake Sinclair, and boy, how I used to love to slow down and gawk (sorry, Nuwabians).
I really miss it. It was all leveled a few years ago, and is now what appears to be someone’s VERY LARGE horse farm, perhaps? They’re building a really really really big house there.
Maybe they’ll put in an obelisk, just for us gawkers.
Todd neglected to mention that a few of the houses in the same area were lived in by followers, and you can still see a stray obelisk here and there along the highway. I will try and get a picture next time we drive by.
Yes, my whole family reads your blog.
Annie that is so awesome. There’s hope for me yet!
And hey there’s nothing wrong with your family reading the blog. I think my whole family reads it too.
Minus my dad. And my sister.
Hi mom!
Why is Nuwabian described as a religious cult? Is Nuwabic an African tribe, and if so what origins of Africa do they hail? Also as their is more information on the Nuwabians I would like to read what you have.
Shamsiddeen, here’s one definition of “cult” –
“a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.”
Then, check out the Wikipedia page on Dwight York, also known as Malachi Z. — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwight_York
You can research it on your own from there, but really, they don’t hail from Africa. They hail from Putnam County, GA by way of New York.

Thanks for the update, Nuwaubian. Clearly there are at least two sides to every argument.
nuwabians are members of a cult made up by a self serving, narcissistic pedophile. they hang around the west end preying on young confused college students and others looking for some place to “fit in” . truely religious groups do not promote racism or separation.i don’t understand the need to parade around in homemade clothes with a braid and beads. what tribe are they from. i say the land of crazy.i guess you get permission to pretend you are from some exotic land, and promote yourself to greatness without living in the real world and proving yourself through hard work. they can’t work for certain “people”, they can only “learn” from people “like them”. sound like a cult to me.
