Ashanti religion

Ashanti religion, practiced by the Ashanti people of Ghana, is a rich spiritual system centered on the belief in a supreme god, known as Nyame, and a pantheon of lesser deities called Abosom. Ancestors play a crucial role, as the living honor them through rituals and offerings to seek guidance and blessings. The religion emphasizes community, morality, and the interconnectedness of all life. Traditional practices, including festivals and ceremonies, celebrate cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs. Divination and healing practices are also significant, reflecting the Ashanti’s deep respect for the spiritual world and its influence on everyday life.
