There are four foundational religious beliefs in the traditional
religions:
(1) the belief in impersonal (mystical) power(s);
(2) the
belief in spirit beings;
(3) the belief in divinities/gods and
(4) the
belief in the Supreme Being.
These foundational religious beliefs are
essential to our theological interpretation and analysis of the
traditional religions. Any meaningful and effective Christian approach
to the traditional religions must begin from here.
In African beliefs, the source of this impersonal or (mystical)
mysterious power is not always known, but it is usually attributed to
the activities of higher “mysterious” powers, whether personal or
impersonal that either generates or deposits such powers in things or
objects.
The potency, efficacy and the durability of such “inhabited”
impersonal powers varies from object to object. Some objects are said to
be inherently more power induced or “imputed” than others, that is,
they are more naturally endowed with powers than others are.
Traditional African concepts of reality and destiny are deeply rooted in
the spirit world. The activities and the actions of the spirit beings
govern all social and spiritual phenomena.
The spirit world can be
divided into two broad categories:
(1) non-human spirits and
(2) the
spirits of the dead.
Non-human spirits are regarded in hierarchical
order in accordance with their kind and importance, depending upon their
power and the role they play in the ontological order in the spirit
world (Oji, 1988:17).
African traditional religions in some parts of Africa, have had an elaborate pantheon
of divinities. But there are exceptions to this general observation,
especially in Southern Africa and some parts of West Africa.
Some
African ethnic groups do not seem to have divinities, while some were
known to have no special shrines or worship places designated to the
divinities or to the Supreme Being. However, the Yoruba of Nigeria are
known for having several hundreds of divinities.
