Yearly Efa New Year Festival
Observation of a Month of Silence…
Starting from the second week of May is a period of resting and meditation.
During this period there is a ban on drumming and noisemaking among the Ewes and the Gas, which tells of a common ancient practice of our people.
All bokors are expected to withdraw from work and activity and go into themselves in seclusion to reconnect with their soul for regeneration and growth. During this period all deities and beings are said to have gone to Fe.
During this time, there is reduced dependence on external energy, and you are to tap more into your inner source. However, the demands our present-day living makes it difficult for most people to do so.
Bokor are therefore advised to undertake a symbolic withdrawal from external influences as much as they can – meaning, things you see, hear, smell, taste or touch. For instance, during this period you may decide not to watch the television, or listen to pop music, or stay off meat, stay more indoors or do anything that focuses your attention more within.
Please, endeavor to do more of your meditations during this season, which starts May 15, till June 15.
Any member who can, may join us in Kedzi for the celebration the end of the period on June 15. Details will be shared later what it entails and how members based outside may be able to participate.
We shall work out a more elaborate plan for celebration from 2022 going forward. Make it a point not to miss out!
