 A concept of 'the eye of sun or God' ("ányá ánwụ́") exists as a feminine solar deity which forms a part of the solar veneration among the Nri-Igbo in northern Igboland.Alusi are mediated by "dibia" and other priests who do not contact the high god directly.Through "áfà", 'divination', the laws and demands of the alusi are communicated to the living.
