The ‘Rituals for Living’ vignette is a short segment taken from the upcoming documentary, Ancestral Voices 2 which explores African Spirituality as a singular system with modified localized expressions but all informed by the same principles and philosophies and can be evidenced as a continuum from the time of the Ancient Black Egyptians to the present.
Some of the areas covered include the African conception of the Creator or God, the Divinities or Natural Forces, Divination systems, Ancestral Reverence and different forms of African Prayers and Ritual Practices. The funds raised from the vignette will go towards completing the full film.
