We BelieveOdumonkuma
We believe in the existence of a supreme God called Odomonkuma often called Oboadee or Borebore the great creator, carver and architect who continuously creates. Odomomkuma created all things in the universe, the sun, moon, the stars and the earth with all of her inhabitants. Knowledge of the many realms of creation contiuiouly unfolds, opening our eyes to the omnipotent intelligence and beauty of odomonkuma. All that odomonkuma created has been placed in a divine order, and all of creation is interconnected through that order. Nyame Creation needed the breath of life and within each creation Odomonkuma gave a part of itself, the pure energy of God the essence of the creator (Esu). It is through the divine appellation Nyame that the creator energized all of creation. Nyame breathed life into Odomonkuma's creations. Nyame infuses creation with motion, force or vibration. It is through Nyame that we receive O'te (Understanding insight hindsight foresight wisdom.) It is through Nyame that thought forms are born, the power of the word, the beauty of sound, personal and universal energy connections. |
We honor our AncestorsWe believe in the existence of the Nsamanfo, our ancestors. Our elders and family members who we once walked laughed and cried with. They have passed on and have entered a layered part of the world called Nsamando or the land of the dead. We believe our departed are still accessible to us and we call upon them to look after the family and community.
Great ancestors that have fought for their family, community and a better world during special ceremonies are petitioned to come forth from the land of the Nsamando to continue their good work upon the living. We set aside celebrations to honor them and give our thanksgiving for their wisdom and their sacrifices. We often hear their whispers of guidance and see them in our dreams. We feel their continued love and concern emanating from the Nsamando. |
