This is an excellent analysis of African spirituality. I would add that community is another common feature. The celebration of sacred days was a communal activity. The new-age African spirituality I’m seeing is more individualistic than communal. It mimics Eastern tradition but is infused with African principles.

The analogy of spirituality as water in its liquid form is correct. African spirituality is not stuck in dogma like holding onto outdated beliefs such as 6,000-year-old or flat earth.
