š š Meet Ala, named after the most important deity in the Igbo pantheon(a group of particularly respected, famous, or important people).
Most people know the various Orishas but I wanted to share some info on another pantheon.
There are more than a 100 gods, both small and big, in Igbo Culture but for some reason {š¤§colonialism}, most people donāt know anything about them.
š¤±šæAla, also known as Ani, Ana, Ale, and Ali in varying Igbo dialects is the female Alusi/ deity of the earth, morality, fertility, and creativity.
Catch this šµ: In Odinani, Ala rules over the underworld and holds the deceased ancestors in her womb. Her name literally translates to "ground" in the Igbo language, denoting her powers over the earth and her status as the ground itself.
į»dį»nala, also į»dį»nanį», į»dį»lalį» or į»dį»lala, comprises the traditional religious practices and cultural beliefs of the Igbo people of south east Nigeria.
