african spirituality for beginners

Africa, often called the cradle of humanity, is a continent rich in culture, diversity, and spirituality. The vibrant tapestry of beliefs and practices that make up African spirituality is a testament to this continent’s profound and complex religious traditions. Yet, it remains vastly understudied and often misunderstood. 

African spirituality transcends the traditional boundaries of organized religion. Instead of following a single set of religious scriptures or doctrines, it encompasses an array of diverse belief systems, cosmologies, and practices that have evolved from various ethnic communities spread across the continent. These belief systems often center on the interconnectedness of life, a dynamic interaction between the living, the dead, and the divine or supernatural.
