AKPU.OKALA-ETE: Unveiling the Power of a Sacred Igbo Tree
Ndi Gbo, let us delve into the world of odinani and explore the majesty of Akpu, a tree revered for its spiritual significance and mighty spikes. Unlike the engineered cassava, Akpu is a natural wonder, growing to enormous sizes, rivaling the Iroko tree. In the language of the gods, Afa, Akpu is called OKALA-ETE, a name synonymous with strength and protection.
This sacred tree is feared in the spiritual realm for its aggressive nature in wars and repelling evil. Its spikes serve a purpose, making it a formidable force against enemies. Akpu is a spirit that leads wars and fights, and its owners are protected from harm. Any attempt to attack or defile Akpu or its owner will be met with swift retribution.
Akpu has male and female forms, with the female being the more powerful and spike-laden. It is a symbol of protection and strength, and its presence is a deterrent to evil forces. Unfortunately, many have forgotten the true meaning of ometara in our odinani, neglecting the power of our mmuo/spirits.
To those who have been blessed with the emergence of their Akpu tree, remember to show respect by tying a white or red wrapper around it, as it abhors being stared at naked. Let us embrace our heritage and honor our spirits, for they are our true protectors and guides……Seê _ Morê
