Blessed.i OVERstand what Yan and Tyehimba stated in their posts,but i also follow what Bantu said about the Rituals and Nature worship.first off,not getting TOO supernatural,but im sure ones know that their are sacred word-sounds that has to be uttered to bring forth a CERTAIN aspect of gods,whether calling them for good luck,health,wealth,etc.therefore,CERTAIN Indigenous religions have certain Rituals that is sacred and was handed down from the gods to them.i once heard an Afrikan priest from the Akkan religion saying that it is a duty for Afrikans to pay their respects (building temples,Resciting words,etc)to the Anscestors or else their not worthy of living,for this is their God given right.so,im not saying one MUST be in a "form" of religion,but how will one know these sacred tasks that must be done if one isnt in that system?Selah
