Igbo spiritualism is basically hinged on the belief in the powers of the ancestors. The ancestors guide and protect the living and pave ways of success for the living. The Igbo believe in reincarnation: the coming back to life of the dead ancestors. One’s reincarnation is one’s personal god. A true Igbo man sacrifices to his chi monthly or yearly in re-institution and re-affirmation. It is believed that those who do this are bound to succeed in whatever they are doing in life.
It is also believed that most Igbo people are linked to water spirits that they sacrifice to. These water spirits give them wealth and affluence. The recognition of one’s water spirit, is the beginning of one’s successes and breakthroughs.
