Bemba (deity)
Bemba (also known as Ngala or Pemba) is the creator god in the traditional religion of the Bambara people of Mali. The name is used to refer to Bemba, who is portrayed as a god consisting of four distinct beings (Pemba, Nyale, Faro, and Ndomadyiri) and is sometimes used to refer to one of its members, Pemba. Although Bemba is often referred to as male, the union of these four beings as Bemba is hermaphroditic, with the male aspects represented by Pemba and Ndomadyiri, while the female aspects are represented by Nyale and Faro. Bemba plays a central role in Bambara religion, although opinions are divided as to whether he is considered as a supreme high god, or whether recent interpretations of his position were due to Islamic influences. Mandé religion also features Pemba and Faro in their cosmology, although their roles are dissimilar to their depictions in Bambara religion. Representation As the representation of the four gods, Bemba is depicted as a deity who plays a large pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
