Produktbeschreibung
Socio-culturally, Kalorn hold the family or clan as a unifying unit within which every individual's way of life is dictated by the trite axiom that blood is thicker than water. This is intrinsic to Kalorn tradition that upholds the notion of one being his brother's keeper especially within the closely knitted clan set up where genealogical considerations are given full rein. This social dynamic did not stop at the physical world, but transcends the spirit world as well, inexorably serving to maintain the ethereal bond between the living of the physical world and the dead of the spirit world. It is within the context of this perceived seamless ethereal bond between the physical and spirit worlds that Kalorn situate the concept of Kawooh, which is an underwater proprietary niche populated by vestiges of the Yaan (soul) spirits of their ancestors. It is held that these Yaan spirits have the tendency of selfishly exploiting every propitious pregnancy as a crucible of reincarnation into the physical world.As human beings are caught up between the vagaries of life on earth, this book elucidates the spiritual beliefs of the Kalorn Tribe, an ethnic sub-tribe in The Gambia, West Africa.
