Ancestor Worship
reaches into the early days of mankind.
The fire place in the night was the right place for story telling.
This, made the night to the time and place of the ancestors. Furthermore, in
dreams the world of the ancestors can be reached.
This divided time into the day of the living and the night of the ancestors.
Thus, the stars became connected to the ancestors and the history of
the tribe as well.
The spirits of the ancestors were honoured and worshipped.
In a similar sense, the spirits of nature were worshipped by a
a process of Personification.
