African Spiritual Systems Class 1
This opening session dismantles the "single story" of African spirituality perpetuated by colonialism and media, replacing it with a coherent and sophisticated worldview. We explore the universal threads that connect Vodun, Yoruba, Akan, and every other system we will study: the nature of the Supreme Being (the distal vs. proximate principle), the concept of the universe as a community of forces (Ashé/Nyama/Megbe), and the foundational role of Ancestors as the "living dead."We will also examine the structure of African cosmology (the visible and invisible worlds) and the power of oral tradition—why knowledge is spoken, not written.
