African Traditional Religions are living spiritual traditions with deep histories, sophisticated systems of philosophy, divination, ancestral reverence, ritual, community, and relationships with the divine and spiritual world.

Yet for many people, understanding these traditions can be difficult. Much of the information available online is fragmented, oversimplified, sensationalized, or presented without the cultural and historical context necessary to understand it properly.

This course is designed for beginners who want to move beyond stereotypes and surface-level information and develop a meaningful understanding of the beliefs, concepts, history, terminology, and spiritual worldview behind these traditions.
