African traditional religion

African belief that there is Supreme Being,who is able to do the thing that human being cannot do.The Creator is also envisioned as a formless,self-conscious and intelligent entity,believe that the creator is beyond form and containment and can transmute into all forms,thus the various forms manifested across this earth.It is held that this Essence or Spirit of the Creator is what is present within all things both animate and inanimate and gives form and life. In African Spiritual,there are many different expressions of the Creator/God and an unlimited number of the forms it can take, hence why it is common to have Africans paying homage to a range of naturally occurring forms with no mental conflict as to its divine nature. It is the basis of reverence for spirit because they are understood to reflect a particular aspect of Supreme being. African believe that there need to communicate with those who have left this world and went to the spiritual realm.This communication serves as a relationship even after death.The contention of African philosophy is that people leave the human stage to the spiritual stage wherein they can be approached in times of joy and calamities. Spirituality is always culturally formed and informed. The formation of spirituality is always cultural-contextual. African spirituality involves deeper human values, attitudes, beliefs, and practices, based on various African worldviews. According “in the African worldview the nature of being does not comprise solely of what we can perceive with our visual sense, that is, our eyes. There are two aspects to the created universe; the physical and spiritual. The spiritual realm is also stratified into various spaces or abodes those of departed ancestors, spirits (deities) and that of the penultimate source of Creation of all things in existence. African spirituality,Divination and Ritual are the tools used to address imbalances and to maintain ideal states of being.On the bases of cyclical existence, African believe in reincarnation,but the African idea is not based on a written text; it is based on the belief that human beings live in a cycle,that things go around and come around.African reincarnation is based on the religion of ancient Egypt,Where the priests said that we shall come back millions and millions of times.
