Onunu: Sacred Holes as Conduits of Ogwugwu in Igbo Spirituality

In Igbo spirituality, Onunu, holes in the earth, are sacred conduits for the divine presence of Ogwugwu, the primordial Mother Goddess and cosmic womb. From shrine altars and sacred groves to graves, anthills, and birth rituals, Onunu symbolizes the unseen thresholds between worlds—portals through which life, death, and rebirth flow. This teaching explores how both physical and metaphysical holes serve as channels of spiritual energy, linking human ritual with the regenerative matrix of Ogwugwu.
