Igbo Religion

9/25/09 3:30pm



The Ibos are very religious. These polytheistic people worship many gods. They believe that there are three levels of sacred beings: the highest level is the supreme god, next lesser gods, and under these arethe spirits of dead people. The Ibos also believe in reincarnation. When someone dies, he or she starts a new life in the spirit world. After a time in the spirit world, a dead person would be reborn as a new person and the cycle would continue on. Each village has priests and priestesses who conducting ceremonies and rituals. And since the Ibos believe that everything in life is controlled by higher powers, there are also villages that attempt to predict the future. Wow I might side with them because this sound like a fun religon.
