I’m glad to see more people utilize african mythology, I’m over Greek and I don’t give a flying fukk about Nordic

I hate this really kiddy cartoony style of animation that’s used in some anime but I’ll fukk with it just because

Call me when they can properly incorporate all African mythos besides the Yoruba pantheons. Are the orisas the only African mythology these people know

Be honest though, do Igbos share and market their traditional religion the way Yorubas do?

People mostly know the Yoruba juju, because the Yoruba sell it openly. Other tribes juju is done in deep secrecy where nobody knows who participates.

I’m against them calling it mythology when it’s a religion that tens of millions of people still follow globally.

The art looks cool

 

[Bone Bender]

The artist is not Japanese and/or isnt creating the comic in Japan so why classify the work as manga instead of comic book.

I’m not even talking about Nigeria alone. From Ghana to Congo to South Africa to Benin people think all traditional African religions are some how interchangeable.

Put a Vodun priest, Ifa babalawo, Odinani dibia In the same room together and their gonna tell you completely different things about each of their religions. It just kills me when people say west Africa in regards to orisas when it’s really just Yoruba people everyone else has their own practice
