Ancestral veneration is central to all African spiritual systems. Shrines are put up in memory of deceased loved ones. The belief that the love, bond and connection you shared with a (Ancestor) parent transcends death. Complete veneration and respect of those who came before. In reality T’ challa would have a Shrine dedicated to his father
African spirituality affected all facets of culture and life. In many cases it affected language, culture and overall world view. E.g. many traditional African names are given to individuals through naming ceremonies.We got a tiny glimpse of this in black panther.
Sacred plant mixtures exist and are used as a right of passage. EG.Ibogaine-containing preparations are used for medicinal and ritual purposes within African spiritual traditions of the Bwiti people of Gabon and Cameroon, who claim to have learned it from the Pygmy peoples. One of the most poignant things about the black panther is him consuming a sacred plant mixture communing with the ancestors gaining their knowledge, getting enhanced Kinesthesis and superhuman abilities.
