The Kwe or Shrine


Here’s a picture of the kwe or shrine. In the old days we had three shrines. One for Sakpata or the earth group of gods, another for Ogu or god of iron and the third for Legba or guardian against evil. Abojevi/Robert Antoine's favourite deity was Sakpata. Some of us may have chosen Legba which had a clay model described as small, ugly and with a large penis.
