African traditional religions is a term referring to a variety of religions indigenous to the continent of Africa Most traditional African religions have, for most of their existence, been orally/spiritually (rather than scripturally) transmitted or practiced. Thus, linguistic experts such as Christopher Ehret and Placide Tempels have applied their knowledge of languages towards reconstructing the original core beliefs of the followers of these traditions. The four linguistic phylums spoken in Africa are: Afro-Asiatic Nilo-Saharan Niger-Congo , and Khoi-San According to linguist Christopher Ehret , traditional religion among Afro-Asiatic -speaking peoples was originally henotheistic in nature.

    African Mythology the Gods of over 70 African tribes. Introduction African mythology covers a large area. There are so many countries, regions, languages, tribes  
    http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/african-mythology.php
    
    Extractions: Traditional African belief is overwhelmingly monotheistic. There may be spirits and ancestors floating around, but there's only one God. Early missionaries made a complete pig's ear of their research in this respect and seem to have delighted in cataloging as many 'heathen' Gods as they could possibly get away with. African Creator Gods seem to follow a distinctive pattern - they are all extremely dissatisfied with their creations. There is much shaking of heads, turning away in sorrow and avoidance of contact. The humans are left to fend for themselves. Attempts to regain contact with their God by building a heavenly ladder are the subject of many an unhappy legend. On the whole, African Gods don't like to be pestered, and humans have to learn to be content with their lot.

    Extractions: Rookie “The hunter in pursuit of an elephant, does not stop to throw stones at birds”, so reads the print on the back of one of socially conscious fashion brand Bantu Republic ’s new tees. Wise words from the precocious young brand whose name and logo are inspired by African mythology. Bantu Republic launched its online store this week, crafting limited edition t-shirts with meaning, that blend substance into style in celebration of individual truth. The New York brand, founded on socially conscious, sustainable and ethical fashion principles, is described as producing compelling designs that challenge our perception of important issues shaping our culture and defining our world. It stands as a challenge to other designer brands that have lost touch with the power of fashion to define us as individuals and celebrate our political expression, leaving as narrow a mark on our environment as possible while making a big impact on our perceptions and in our communities. The good folks at Bantu Republic are certainly taking on that challenge head on, and by this author’s estimation - without any distraction by stone throwing at measly little birds.

    Extractions: Jok - concept of the devine Jok (Nilotic: Kenya, Uganda, Sudan). Jok is one of the most truly African concepts of the divine. It is a word, found with variations in all the Nilotic languages, as Jwok, Juok, Joagh, Joghi or Joogi. lt is not always translated with the same English word, because the dictionary writers had different philosophical ideas themselves, which demonstrates the power of the spirit that we call Jok. Jok is God and the spirits, the gods, the holy ghost, the beings from the other world. It can be vague and precise, good or frightening, beneficent or dangerous, one or a multitude, legion.

    Extractions: setRootPath( "../../" ); Francais default Home The 4th Ministerial Conference ... Experiencing Africa African mythology In the Transkei near Coffee Bay is a prominent rock formation with a big hole in the middle, a powerful symbol of tragedy in Xhosa mythology. In short, a young girl called Nongqawuse had seen a messenger from the realm of the ancestors at a waterhole, but her uncle misinterpreted the missive to mean the Xhosa had to kill all their cattle to be spared the rule of the British. They did so, and lost everything. Modjadji became the most powerful rainmaker in Southern Africa. Even the mighty Zulus feared and respected her, and gave her the name Mabelemane ("four breasts"). They were certain that the fertility and richness which she brought to the earth would be mirrored in her own body. The myths of Africa differ from country to country, but they play a significant role in the African psyche throughout the continent, being passed down through the generations through strong oral traditions. Though African mythology is seeded in the esoteric realm, it also links into practical day to day life, helping to adapt human behaviour to the demands and offerings of the environment. As such, mythology still plays a role in rural African communities.
