In general, traditional Kenyan religions involve belief in an eternal, unique
and omnipotent creator God who is distant from mankind, but not out of reach.
God created and maintained the universe, including man, who in many cosmologies
was lowered from some other world.
   Essentially, the Kenyan concept of God pretty similar to both the Muslim and
Christian ideas. The name given to God changes from people to people, though
those most frequently encountered are Ngai, Enkai, Akuj, Mulungu and Mungu, and
variations thereof.
   God cannot be seen, and usually resides in the sky or on high mountains. God
is associated with rain (and by extension grass, certain plants, animals,
mountains, rainbows and prosperity), as well as with the consequences of not
providing rain (drought, famine, disease and death). God is also manifest in the
sun, moon, thunder and lighting, stars and in trees, especially the wild fig
tree (also called 'strangling fig'), which is sacred to many different Kenyan
peoples. Sometimes, different names are given to God according to the
manifestation in which he is apparent.
These various manifestations of God, together with the multiplicity of different
names, have long confused Western observers, who saw in them evidence that
Kenyans were polytheists. This, as I've said above, was far from the truth, as
most Kenyan peoples believed in one God alone. Rather than being proof of belief
in several Gods, this was only a way of distinguishing God's differing 'moods'
(when God was angry and refused to bring rain, there was a special name; and
when God brought good things, there was another). Often enough, God's different
manifestations were also associated with colours and sexes. Black was invariably
a good or 'cool' colour, whilst red (and sometimes white) was bad and 'hot'.
Another misconception is that God was always male. Although this is true among
some people, this by no means applies to all Kenyan religions, and even among
traditionally 'misogynistic' cultures (by Western standards), such as that of
the Maasai, there are common expressions which praise God's female attributes.
As in Christianity, God can be prayed to, and although this can be done by
individuals, it is most commonly done collectively at times of celebration, at
important passages of life, and in times of calamity such as during epidemics,
droughts and famines. Sacrifices of animals sometimes accompany such events, the
sacrifice being seen as a direct offering to God, who may thus - it is hoped -
be convinced to intercede in the affairs of the people.
