ABSTRACT

There is an underlining relationship between African sacrality and Eco-spirituality. African sacrality is a concept that encompasses various African practices, beliefs and some significant subject matters which are designated or exalted by divine sanction and entitled to extreme relevance, not to be profaned or violated. The concept of African sacrality has a direct implication on Eco-spirituality which is based on the sacredness of nature, earth and universe. Using the method of critical analysis the researchers found out that the African practice of upholding natural phenomena as sacred has been long dead and the belief that humanity is somehow separate and above nature has been birthed. This belief in turn has created many of today’s problems as it concerns Eco-spirituality in one way or the other. The researchers, therefore, suggested that a review which would bring about the revival of the African sacrality is needed for a smooth evolution of proper and effective ecologicalspirituality.
