By Prof. Anenechukwu Umeh
African Philosophy is expressed in a variety of divination, healing, mathematics, cosmology, mysticism, ethics, sacred science, which are all at the disposal of the dibia, the master of wisdom. These volumes elucidate, from an initiate (1947) the exegesis of African philosophical meditation and practices at their highest adn most authentic.
Because of his professional training adn commitment to extending the achievements of African civilizations, Prof. Umeh, dibia adn academic, brings to this study a lifetime of practice, study and inside information from a variety of traditional sources impossible for any non-practitioner (Ofeke) to obtain.
The fourteen chapters Igbo Traditional Calendar and Cosmic Cycles, Afa Mystical "O" and the Early Achievement of Post-Literacy, Afa Divination, Herbs in Ogwu, The Language of Prayer, Evil Forces and Evil Ones, Ehtics of Dibia.
The philosopjhy is grounded in ethics and morals and its grasp is not open to any student, but those who are tested and tried for moral character and good social practice, unlike within the Western academy where anyone can pursue (dangerous) knowledge wihtout any grounding in moral philosophy.
