To the Frafra mind, God is supreme, but the ancestors are trusted intercessors, those who lived well, served their families, upheld justice, and died peacefully and elevated. They stand between the living and God, just as prophets, saints, and martyrs do in other religions. When libation is poured, it is not to the ancestor as a god, but to God through the ancestor. As we say: “To’e zom ta paa Nayine.” To wit, take this flour-water to God. We do not worship them; we commune with them and through them. Just as Christians pray through Jesus, and Muslims invoke prophets and angels, the Frafra invoke their ancestors, not because they are divine, but because they are family and have never failed when called upon. One does not go to strangers when one’s father is at home.
