Comment on Ancestor Veneration, Worship, Reincarnation, and Idolatry by AplusAfricanArt

That’s a very interesting question but this is also a complex topic. First not all Africans believe in reincarnation, and there are many flavors to the appreciation of one’s ancestors. Yet at the crux of your question the answer is that every instance of a possible reincarnation is one that can be learned from and appreciated. These learnings and teachings are vital to keeping one’s sense of self and culture for some people.
Hope this helps.

If as you said that Africans believe in reincarnation, why do they still venerate their dead (Ancestor), since they may possibly reincarnate?

Hi,
I actually have a copy of a youtube piece with a Baga Nimba dance, aplusafricanart.com in the video section.
The blog is an extension of my site… i trade, sell, and collect African Tribal art, but i also use the
blog to develop ideas about African tribal culture, and the African diaspora. I am based in NY, and welcome
to what I hope is a site which provides assistance towards appreciating African Tribal Art.
