Topic: Engai


  
  ENGAI : The deity from African Mythology
In the beginning, ENGAI lived on Earth in joyful communion with all the cattle in the world.
ENGAI and the cattle tried to live in the clouds, but there wasn't a lot of grass up there to keep the cattle fed. So ENGAI called down to a human named NAITERU-KOP and told him to expect a special delivery.
When some of the Maasai migrated from Tanzania to Kenya, they found another holy mountain and another manifestation of ENGAI worshipped by the Kikiyu.

 God (word) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The development of English orthography was dominated by Christian texts.
Capitalized, "God" was first used to refer to the Judeo-Christian concept and may now signify any monotheistic conception of God, including the translations of the Arabic Allāh and the African Masai Engai.
The use of capitalization, as for a proper noun, has persisted to disambiguate the concept of a singular God from pagan deities for which lower case god has continued to be applied, mirroring the use of Latin deus.

 The Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania
He may send prosperity and happiness, in which case he is called Engai Norok, the Black God; but when He is angry and sends famine and death he is Engai Na-nokie, the Red God.
Black for the Maasai stands for life and happiness, because it is the colour of the dark clouds which bring the rain on which all life depends.
Certain places are regarded as sacred by the Maasai: these include Entim e Naimina Enkiyio ('forest of the lost child'), Oldoinyo le Engai ('mountain of God') and Endoinyo Ormoruwak ('hill of elders') where the Olng'eherr ceremony is conducted.
