The Binou (or Binou cult) is a Dogon totemic, religious order and secret ceremonial practice which venerates the immortal ancestors. It can also mean a water serpent or protector of a family or clan in Dogon. It is one of the four tenets of Dogon religion—an African spirituality among the Dogon people of Mali. Although the Dogons' "Society of the Masks" (the Awa Society) is more well known, due in part to Dogon mask–dance culture which attracts huge tourism, it is only one aspect of Dogon religion, which apart from the worship of the Creator God , a rather distant and abstract deity in the Dogon world-view, is above all made up of ancestor veneration (the four aspects of that practice). The Binou serves as one of the four aspects of Dogon religion's ancestor veneration. Other than the Bino

  • The Binou (or Binou cult) is a Dogon totemic, religious order and secret ceremonial practice which venerates the immortal ancestors. It can also mean a water serpent or protector of a family or clan in Dogon. It is one of the four tenets of Dogon religion—an African spirituality among the Dogon people of Mali. Although the Dogons' "Society of the Masks" (the Awa Society) is more well known, due in part to Dogon mask–dance culture which attracts huge tourism, it is only one aspect of Dogon religion, which apart from the worship of the Creator God , a rather distant and abstract deity in the Dogon world-view, is above all made up of ancestor veneration (the four aspects of that practice). The Binou serves as one of the four aspects of Dogon religion's ancestor veneration. Other than the Binou and the worship of Amma, the other three aspects of the religion includes the veneration of Lebe (or Lehé), which pertains to an immortal ancestor (Lebe) who suffered a temporary death in Dogon primordial time but was resurrected by the Nommo; the veneration of souls; and lastly, the Society of the Masks, which relates to dead ancestors in general. These myths are in oral form—known to us in a secret language. They form the framework of Dogon's religious knowledge, and are the fixed Dogon's sources relating to the creation of the universe; the invention of fire, speech and culture. (en)
  • Le culte du Binou, totémisme dogon (ou cultes aux ancêtres immortels) est l'un des aspects de la religion des dogons ( en ), basée (en plus du culte voué au Dieu créateur Amma) sur le culte des ancêtres. Cet animisme prend en effet quatre formes : * le culte du lébé, * le culte du Binou, * le culte des âmes, * l'institution des masques (société Awa). Le culte binou est un culte secret qui se déroule dans un sanctuaire dont la forme varie selon les villages. Ils sont décorés de reliefs et de peintures symboliques et leurs façades portent souvent des traces blanches, restes des cérémonies précédentes. Lors des cérémonies, des animaux y sont sacrifiés et de la bouillie de mil y est déversée sous la supervision d'un prêtre totémique seul à pouvoir accéder à l'intérieur.Les prêtres du Binou sont à la tête d'un clan, réunissant plusieurs lignages patrilinéaires. Les membres d'un clan respectent un même "interdit" animal ou végétal (ba-binu). Par exemple, l'animal totem du clan des Karambé (village de Sibi-Sibi) est le serpent d'eau, la panthère est celui du village d'Ogol-Da, le crocodile celui d'Amani. Les membres du clan ne pourront ni manger, ni tuer, ni danser avec un masque le représentant. Le ba-binu protège un membre du clan lorsque celui-ci est en voyage ou en brousse. Ces cérémonies ont par exemple lieu lors des rites agraires qui doivent assurer une bonne pluviométrie et garantir des récoltes abondantes. Le culte du Binou a pour rôle de maintenir l'harmonie entre les humains et les forces surnaturelles de la brousse. (fr)
