Why do chiefs, kings and queen mothers do not take off their foot wear when pouring the libation?
Thank you for your question and for viewing the video.
If they are pouring libation to their own ancestors in the privacy of their own room, they may not wear them; but in public, at rituals, cultural events and celebrations, they do not remove their sandals, or slightly slip their foot out of the sandal. Ahenemma (royal sandals) represent their stool and are a part of their regalia. As a matter of fact, when a royal is destooled for whatever reason, it is their sandals that are removed and taken from them.
Thank you for this ❤ however what's the significance of tapping the bottle 3times on the edge of the calabash? 🤔
Thank you for your question. The significance of tapping the edge of a cup or calabash three (3) times before pouring is due to the power and representation of the number. It is said to represent the human being (Body, Soul and Spirit) as well as the human family (Mother, Father and Child). In Akan culture, it is said to represent the Earth, the sky (heavens) and the underworld. It also represents the course of a day (morning, noon and night), and is a measurement of our existence (past, present and future). Therefore, we recognize it depending on the situation. It is expressed numerous ways throughout human activities, not only libation. The number three (3) is said to be a number of perfection and it is important in many Afrikan cultures. Thank you for watching.
