Imanye Omu, fixing a palm frond on something, is a clear way of saying, “This is protected; do not touch.” In Igbo tradition, placing omu on property, land, or any object marks it for special attention and warns others not to interfere. People understand that once the palm frond is fixed, a spiritual force, whether represented by a masquerade or working invisibly, has been called upon to guard the item and respond to anyone who violates the warning. In this simple gesture, the community recognizes ownership, maintains order, and shows respect for both physical and spiritual boundaries. This teaching expands on this idea.

In Igbo cosmology, the four market days, Eke, Orie, Afo, and Nkwo, are cosmic principles woven into the human body through the senses, the elements, and the fingers. This teaching explores that connection in details, and how together, these correspondences reveal the harmony of cosmos and person, teaching that every act of perception is an echo of the eternal rhythm of creation.

Otunsi is a sacred spiritual instrument used by Nri priests in Igbo tradition to remove abominations and restore purity to the land. Given by Chukwu Okike to the ancient ancestors known as Ndi Egede, Otunsi carries the divine authority to cleanse the land and its people whenever spiritual pollution occurs. It remains a powerful symbol of healing, balance, and sacred responsibility in Igbo culture.
