Long before organized world religions, Africa had its own rich spiritual traditions—how have they shaped societies? African traditional religions vary across tribes and regions, emphasizing ancestral worship, spirits, and a connection with nature. This book explores the diverse belief systems, rituals, and deities that have guided African cultures for millennia. With the arrival of Christianity and Islam, many traditional beliefs were suppressed, yet they continue to influence modern African identity. From the Yoruba religion to Vodou and the spiritual practices of the Zulu, this book offers a deep dive into the spiritual heritage of the continent. If you want to understand the roots of African spirituality, this book is essential.
