Common Asked Questions

• Can I remix or add my own words to this Igo Mmuo script?

  Yes, absolutely. The script is simply a guide to help you build fluency and confidence in your practice. Feel free to adapt it in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you.

• Can I substitute Nzu for Oji and still use the same script?

  Yes, you can make that substitution. However, context matters. For instance, it may be appropriate to invite your Chi to :eat” in Oji (kolanut), but it might not feel fitting to say the same with Nzu (chalk). Use your discretion and adapt the language where necessary.

• Can I include as many of my spiritual guides as I want while using the script?

  Absolutely. You are encouraged to personalize the script by invoking any of your guides. The script is a guide and sample to meant to support your practice, not limit it.

• As a woman, can I break kolanut during my Igo Mmuo?

  Yes, you absolutely can, and should, if you wish to include kolanut in your ritual. No one can connect more directly with your Chi than you. The belief that women shouldn’t break kolanut is a fallacy we will address in more details in another teaching.
