What does modern quantum physics have in common with indigenous African knowledge systems

This article presents a comparative analysis of African traditional spirituality and quantum physics, highlighting the profound parallels between these two knowledge systems. The study investigates the alignment between African spiritual traditions, including the notions of interconnectedness, the observer effect, and the dual nature of reality, as well as the fundamental principles of quantummechanics. The paper contends that African traditional spirituality has possessed innate comprehension of intricate scientific principles, presenting a comprehensivemethodology that predates and runs parallel to contemporary quantum physics.

The Case for a Public Holiday for TraditionalWorship and Ancestral Veneration in Ghana

This study proposes the creation of a public holiday in Ghana to recognize traditional worship and ancestral veneration, advocating for equity in religious expression in a nation where only Christianity and Islam currently enjoy such privileges. Traditional African spirituality plays a vital role in Ghana’s cultural heritage, embodying values that shape community and identity. The research highlights the historical marginalization of indigenous spiritual practices, which was exacerbated by colonial influences and the dominance of foreign religions. By drawing on examples fromcountries like China, Vietnam, and Benin, the study illustrates the significance of public holidays in fostering cultural preservation and social cohesion.

Our Shrines Are Most Holy Places; Contrary to What the Movies Show on TV

In the heart of every traditional African community lies a sacred space—a shrine, a grove, a sacred stone, or a hidden enclave nestled deep within nature. These are not just physical locations. They are portals of connection and frequency generators to the divine, our ancestors, and the spiritual order that governs the universe. Yet, the portrayal of these spaces in mainstream media—particularly in movies and television, from Hollywood, Nollywood to Kumawood—paints a picture that is distorted, fearful, and deeply disrespectful but reveres those of foreign cultures.

Dear President-elect, honour ancestors as they have honoured you

The election of John Dramani Mahama as Ghana's president-elect is both historic and deeply symbolic. His early morning visit to his father’s grave to seek ancestral blessings before casting his vote resonates deeply with the cultural and spiritual ethos of Ghana and Africa at large. As the National Association of Traditionalists and Ancestral Venerators (NATAV) congratulates him on his resounding victory of over 56 per cent of the total valid votes cast and unprecedented majority in parliament, it is imperative to reflect on the critical role his ancestors played, and the essence of ancestry and tradition in shaping our national identity
