Ala, Earth Mother Goddess, not an obvious first
choice that’s why I went for her - the most important
Alusi in the Ibo pantheon, Mother of all things.
Present at the beginning and end of life, receiving
the souls of the dead into her womb. She is the giver
of laws, emphasising the importance of honesty
and respect - the foundation of almost all spiritual
traditions. Ala’s messenger on earth is python;
the snake is the symbol of transmutation, a process
necessary for the evolution of consciousness.
