Himba people believe in

 

What do the Himba people believe in?

The Himba are animists and they have their own god called Mukuru, who they speak to via a holy fire that burns in their village.  Between that fire and the hut of the head man of the village, there is an imaginary line which should never be crossed by visitors.  The fire is maintained by one designated person in the village only.

It is my understanding that only adult Himba can speak with Mukuru, and even then it is most likely the head man who communicates any concerns to Mukuru.  Children are not allowed to speak with Mukuru directly although I think they may do so via their parents.
