Examining ethnographic examples from a number of African and African diaspora religious-material contexts, this chapter demonstrates that African religions, or, in other words, orientational traditions, exemplify an immanent metaphysics wherein “gods,” “spirits,” “persons,” and so-called “things” all share and participate in the cosmos-world. Through examining the material vibrancy of these Africana orientational worlds, this chapter, furthermore, illuminate a world in which matter and materiality are the essential “stuff” of religion
