Origins:
- The Mitsogo people of South Gabon practiced the Bwiti
religion, based upon consumption of the hallucinogenic
Eboga plant, long before the Fang. They likely learnt of
the plant, and it's amazing properties, from the pygmies
native to the region.
Bwiti is becoming adopted by many Fang peoples,
replacing their original religion, Byeri, who's rituals are less
evocative, being based around the inferior plant, the Alan.
