THE CORRUPTION OF IGBO SACRED SCIENCE PART 2 This brought chaos in Igboland and adjacent areas was very violent and chaotic in the 18th century as the result of the Atlantic slave trade. Some oracles in Igboland such as Ibini Ukpabi unfortunately became commercialized. Although many agents and priests of the oracle continued to do honest and fair work, others used the opportunity to sell innocent people as slaves. The Slave trade also introduced the outrageous Osu caste system in Igboland. Initially, Osus were very sacred and respected assistants to high priests. However, as a result of the slave trade, wars in Igboland increased and many people (including runaway slaves) sought refuge in shrines and become an Osu. In some cases, criminals also decided to be an Osu rather than becoming enslaved. Suddenly, be

IGBO TRADITIONAL WAY OF WORSHIP

Ọdịnanị :The Sacred Arts and Science of the Igbo People LECTURE - 1 Topic - The Igbo Traditional Way of Worship. We, the Igbos, are known all over the world as a people who are ardent in matters of our traditional religion and worship. To shed more light on what Igbo traditional religion and worship entails. The worship in Igbo culture and tradition are of three (3) levels which are; Chukwu/Chiokike, Ndiichie, and Arusi. CHUKWU/CHINEKE: We, Igbos, believe that Chukwu is greater than all spirits and beings both visible and invisible to the physical eyes. The various names we have given Chukwu reflect the level of faith and confidence we repose in Him. For instance; Chukwu which is a shortened form of “Chi Ukwu” implies “Great Being.” While, Chiokike means “The Being that creates.” We don’t believe anyone can accurately describe Chukwu or make his perfect image that is why in all of Igboland, there is no shrine where an image of Chukwu is carved or painted. In fact, in Igbo

In such cases, the traditional priest sets them free from death by encircling their legs with egg and other items. The egg and other items are thrown into the grave with the trunk of a plantain and buried before a new grave is dug. Another way of cleansing abomination is to roll the egg over the eyes of somebody that saw an abominable ep

They reveal the secrets of the invisible and visible world to traditional medicine men called dibia, in the mystical code of divination called afa and are also responsible for mental illness.

Moreover, worship or sacrifice is one of the elements of religion found in any religion and this is applicable to Agwu. In the central sub

Ọdịnanị : The Sacred Art And science Of Igbo People I noticed that some of us are still confuse and don't know what ANI/ALA is in Igboland.. Here i will talk about it.. ANI THE MOTHER OF THE IGBOS: Ani is the Igbo Fertility Goddess of the earth. The Igbo people of South East/SS call her the mother of all things, but she is both the fertile earth and the empty field after the harvest. She is present at the beginning of the cycle of life, making children grow in their mother’s womb, and she is there at the end of the cycle, to receive the souls of the dead into her own womb. Ani/Ala also gives laws to the people, emphasizing the importance of honesty and respect. Temples to Ani called mbari are built in the center of villages, and contain a mud statue of Ani which is then painted in bright colors.{visit Umuleri and Aguleri still present there} These statues usually show Ani with a long torso and long thick neck, which are considered to be signs of beauty among the I
