Descripción

When it comes to spiritual entities and deities, very few have been as misunderstood in cross-cultural exchange as Ekwensu of Igbo cosmology.  Commonly misinterpreted as the Christian Devil in Western discourse, Ekwensu's actual role and significance within Igbo spirituality are far more sacred, complex and nuanced.  Here, we will attempt to clarify these misconceptions by exploring the origins of Ekwensu, the etymology of the word "devil," and how cultural misunderstandings have shaped our interpretation of these spiritual figures.

They are mediums between the seen and unseen, and can provide spiritual insight into the callings and destinies of those who consult them.  And yet, in this age of spiritual awakening and cultural revival, it is important to say something that’s both necessary and liberating: No Dibia can tell you how to fulfill your purpose.
