juju priests
Juju priests are spiritual leaders in certain African traditions, particularly in regions like Nigeria and Benin. They practice a form of folk religion that involves the use of charms, amulets, and rituals to invoke spiritual powers. These priests often serve as intermediaries between the physical world and the spiritual realm, helping individuals seek guidance, protection, or healing.
The term "juju" refers to the magical objects or practices used in these traditions. Juju priests may perform ceremonies to address various life issues, such as health problems, relationship troubles, or financial difficulties. Their role is deeply rooted in the cultural beliefs and practices of the communities they serve.
