Serer religion
Serer religion is the traditional belief system of the Serer people, an ethnic group primarily found in Senegal and The Gambia. It is characterized by a deep reverence for nature, ancestors, and a supreme deity known as Téy. The religion emphasizes the importance of rituals, ceremonies, and the spiritual connection between the living and the dead.
Central to Serer religion is the concept of ndut, which represents the spiritual essence of individuals and the universe.

Their beliefs also include a rich mythology that explains the origins of the world and humanity.
