Nut And Geb / Nne-Atu Na Njaba

IGBO Cosmology And KHEMET Cosmology Are The Same, But In Reverse. Likewise The Stories Associated With The Cosmos. The Same Mystical IGBO Godmen And Godwomen That Created Our Mystery Systems Were The Same Ones That Created KUSH KHEMET Mystery Systems. However, IGBO Mystery System Is Deeper Than KHEMET Mystery System. IGBO Cosmology Explains Life Before Earth, While Khemet Mysteries Started From The Earthly Watery Abyss Of NU. And NU Or NUNU Which Means "Abyss", Derives From The IGBO Word For Abyss Which Is ONUNU / ONU. AMEN-NU / IMN-NUNU The Hidden Lord Of The Watery Abyss Is IME-ONU / IME-ONUNU. In IGBO Language, IME Means "Hidden/Womb/Inside". IME = AMEN Or IMN - The Hidden One, The King Of Gods In Khemet. And His Equivalent In IGBO Cosmology Is ELE. ELE (Eternity) Is Whom The Modern IGBO People Refers To As CHI-UKWU (The Great Nature Of Light). ELE Is The Lord Of The Watery Abyss In IGBO Cosmology. ELE Dwells In IMENA (IME-ANA). ELE Dwells In The Womb Of The Earth Mother, Which Is The Underworld, The Watary ABYSS ONUNU. Just The Same Way NU Means Abyss In Medu Neter (Khemetian Sound Flux Systems) NUT Also Means Sky. And The Letter T Was Applied To The Word To Indicate Feminine Neter. NUT Is The Sky Neter(Goddess), And The Whole Night Sky Is Seen As NUT. In Khemet Cosmology, The Physical Plane (ENU UWA) Is Feminine, And The Earth Is Masculine. In IGBO Cosmology, This Is In Reverse. Though There's An IGBO Goddess Known As NWANYI-ENU (Feminine Sky), And I Believe She Is The Equivalent Of NUT As The Feminine Night Sky. NUT AND GEB Are The Parents Of AUSAR(OSIRIS) And AUSET(ISIS). Originally, The Name GEB Was Recorded As KEB And SEB. In The Mystery System, KEB The Father Of The Earth Was Often Identified As The Father Of Snakes. And Was Often Depicted With The Face Of A Snake. So, I Also Decoded His Name As eKE-b. And The Name Sort Of Like Fell Inline With How I Decoded The Name ANUNNAKI, Which Is A Concealment Of The Two Parents Of The ANUNNAKIs. They Are AN And KI (ENU N EKE). In Sumerian Mystery System, AN Is A Representative Of The Sky Father, Making The Name ENU. And KI In This Mythology Is A Representative Of The Mother Earth, Which Is EKE. KI=EKE. So In Khemet, We Got A Reverse Of This Names As eNUt Is The Night Sky Mother, And eKeb Is The Earth Father. In Igbo, e-NU Means Sky And e-KE Means Snake. EKE Also Means Creation and Light (Think Sun). EKE Is The First Element In Igbo Cosmology. The Name Is Sort Of Like CHI NA EKE / EKE NA CHI. NUT AND KEB = eNU And eKE-B = ENU NA EKE. Just Like In Sumerian Mystery System, In IGBO, The Sky ENU Is Masculine And The Earth ANA Is Feminine, But In Khemet This Is In Reverse. However, IGBO Also Have Earth King Of Gods Such As ELE (Saturn) Or AHOBINAGU Who Was Depict With The Head Of A Cobra Or Python (EKE), Just Like GEB/KEB. Ahobinagu's Multiple Cobra Head Represents The Earth's Electromagnetic Shield, Field Or Wave. In The Mysteries Of OSIRIS And ISIS, She (ISIS/NUT) Resurrected OSIRIS (GEB/Earth God) From The Dead, After He Suffered Through CHAOS. In IGBO, This Is In Reverse. In The Mysteries Of CHUKWU (eNU/Sky) And His Wife KOMOSU(ALA/Earth), During The Birthing Of UWA(A World Governed By Light). CHUKWU'S Tears Was What Ressurected KOMOSU After She Suffered Through CHAOS, And She Reincarnated As The IGBO Mother Earth Goddess ALA. She Gave Birth To The World And The Sun Through Chaos, Just Like ISIS Gave Birth To The Sun Through Chaos.

Ala is the female Alusi (deity) of the earth, morality, fertility, and creativity in Odinani. She is the most important Alusi in the Igbo pantheon. In Odinani, Ala rules over the underworld and holds the deceased ancestors in her womb. Her name literally translates to "ground" in the Igbo language, denoting her powers over the earth and her status as the ground itself. Ala is considered the highest Alusi in the Igbo pantheon. Ala's husband is Amadioha, the sky deity.

Igbo African Gods

These are some of the greatest Gods in Igbo spirituality of Odinani and Omenani. There are hundreds of deities in Igbo spirituality, and of course, they all represent different aspects of nature. They represent the different manifestations of Chukwu. Sirius Ugo Art.
