“Agwu holds a significant place in human society, perhaps second only to Ala (the earth goddess). This prominence is underscored by the fact that, among all the spiritual entities acknowledged in Igbo cosmology, including Ala, only Agwu is ascribed an elaborate story of epiphany in visible human form.”
