Handbook to the ethnographical collections . Mandingo, has Ijeen carried by slaves to theWest Indies, where it is known as Voodoo. Human sacrifice wasa great feature of the cult of the rojal dead and other ceremoniesin the large kingdoms of the west (Ashanti, Dahomey, &c.).Belief in a double .soul (Ewe, Tshi) and in transmigration(Banyang, Ikwe, Ibo, Yoruba) both occur. Connected withreligion are the powerful secret societies which flourish among thenegroes of this area ; many of these are very large, far transcendingthe limits of the tribe, and exercise great political power. Some ofthem (such as the Leopard society of the Mendi) make murder theirprime object. Poison ordeal and other forms of divination aregeneral.
