In this Queen Nzingha lecture, we detail some of the highly developed spiritual belief systems that existed in various advanced African civilisations prior to European invasion.

We will cover:

• Cultural appropriation of African god concepts by the Greeks and Romans
• Male and female god concepts; why is the modern Christian god always male?
• Matriarchal spiritual systems, beyond the Orishas
• The Catholic church and the process of sainthood: how real people become saints and legends
• Religion as suppression/liberation
• Ancient African civilisations
• Surviving African culture/spirituality in the Caribbean

This is an online talk via Zoom.
