THE COSMOGONY OF THE BASSA

THE MBOG AND ITS ORGANISATION












Conception and realisation
by S.Brice TJOMB

Assembled within the Brotherhood of the MBOG-PARLIAMENT, the initiates of the MBOG, whose framework is made up of a Council of Notables under the leadership of Patriarch Mbombog MBOUCK Guillaume, the Brotherhood has taken upon itself the initiative of divulging and promoting the beliefs and ancestral values of the Bassa people. The urgency stems from the need to defend the spirituality of the peoples of the forest who live around the holy shrine of the mythical cave of NGOG LITUBA in Cameroon.

Increasing pressure from deforestation, which sounds the knell of native peoples' spirituality, lies at the heart of this initiative which aims to call out to the conscience of humanity and to the assemblies of the leaders of Cameroon and the world.

For a long time, the Bassa people have been marginalised, because they were misunderstood. They fought during the years of colonisation to safeguard their environment and to conserve their holy places.

Mbog is an African way of life which prepares its members for life in symbiosis with Nature, with which it is connected. Complete in itself, it touches all aspects of society.


The members of the Brotherhood are aware of the tremendous opportunities offered by today's modern world in the field of communication. They remain with an outstretched hand, basing their hopes on co-operation between peoples to face the dangers threatening the world's ecosystem.

The wealth of their pharmacopoeia and their social expertise are a guarantee of beneficial co-operation between researchers from differing cultures who are moved by the desire to restore room for quality to the life of humankind, which has become increasingly isolated from its roots.

Our thanks go to the Eco-Spirituality Foundation, to all its members and partners, with whom we hope to have fruitful exchanges for all humankind.
