    Serer religion (Wikipedia). "The Serer religion or Serer spirituality, is the original religious beliefs, practices, and teachings of the Serer people living in the Senegambia region in West Africa."; "The Serer religion believes in a universal supreme deity called Roog. In the Cangin languages, Roog is referred to as Koox, Kopé Tiatie Cac, and Kokh Kox."; Professor Simone Kalis: "Religious life or 'path of God' / a fat Roog is based on the cult of the ancestors / pangool. They are the pivot around which all the rituals that make up religious and therapeutic practices originate. The priest / o yaal pangool, master of the cult, is located halfway between the world of the beyond and the here below; the invisible and the visible, the dead and the living."wiki
