An important period in the Ga calendar is the 𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙬𝙤 𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙡 (hooting over/or at hunger).𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙤 – hunger. 𝙒𝙤 – hoot.During the festival I met with a 𝗪𝘂𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗼 priest at his home – who poured libation and sprinkled kpekple for the Ancestors.A 𝗪𝘂𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗼 is a fetish/high priest and spiritual leader that performs traditional rites for the people and protection of the land.He wears white to represent purity, the head is covered for protection and walks bear foot for the body to be grounded.A 𝗪𝘂𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗼 is chosen through prayers, purification and divine rites performed by elders, for cleansing and initiation..#homowo #festival #Wulomo #priest #tradition #custom #spiritual #ritual#osu #GaDangme #ghana #accra #backtoourroots #thecalabashhub
