Excerpt from The Religious System of the Amazulu: Izinyanga Zokubula; Or, Divination, as Existing Among the Amazulu, in Their Own Words, With a Translation Into English, and Notes
This account is, however, a promise of renovation through death.
The New Zealand legend again may be compared, where we meet with rather a foreshadowing of redemption through One destroying death by passing through it, than an account of the cause of death entering into the world. Maui is made liable to death by some acci dental omission of a part of the baptismal ritual, - a cause as trivial as the delay of the chameleon, or the false message of the hare.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex religious system of the Amazulu people of South Africa, as it existed in the 19th century. Examining the Amazulu's creation myths, the author explores the role of the figure of Unkulunkulu, a primordial being considered the first man. Through the lens of these traditions, the author investigates how the Amazulu conceptualized the origin of the world, humanity, and even death itself. The book further delves into the intricate relationship between the living and the dead, examining the concept of the *Amatongo* - the spirits of ancestors who, the author notes, are still revered and worshipped by the Amazulu. The authorââ â¢s exploration of Amazulu beliefs about spirits, ancestors, and the divine reveals both the intricacies of this indigenous religious system and the complexity of navigating the boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds within the Amazulu worldview. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the beliefs of a vibrant culture, and through detailed examination of the Amazulu traditions, it invites readers to consider the rich and multifaceted religious landscape that exists outside of European and Western traditions.
