Traditional African religion

Traditional African religion encompasses a diverse range of indigenous spiritual practices rooted in specific cultures and communities across Africa. It often involves reverence for ancestors, spirits, and natural elements like rivers and rocks, believing they influence daily life and well-being. Rituals, ceremonies, and offerings are performed to maintain harmony, seek guidance, and ensure community health. These beliefs are transmitted orally and emphasize interconnectedness between humans, nature, and the divine. While varied, many traditions share common themes of respect for ancestors, belief in spiritual forces, and the importance of community and rituals.
