ABSTRACT

Right from creation man is made up of both a spirit and a body which both has its own longings needs. In man is a vacuum that earnestly yearns for a supreme being and from his quest nothing material or physical could satisfy or fill this all important space in him. He however devised a medium through which he addresses such issues. Through it he gets hold of the divine, he gets access to certain spiritual insights and then settles his needs. This medium is therefore is called ‘Religion’. Religion as a general phenomenon is something that is practiced everywhere even in the remotest regions. This therefore implies that in the African world too, religion is in vogue and it is known as African Traditional Religion. Every religion places its edifice on a particular culture and people. Thus the African religion stems its existence in the traditions, norms and customs of the African people. At this point, this work would attempt to do a review of the work on schedule.
