An up-close picture of Impepho |
The above images are of impepho that I plucked Eshowe when I was visiting my homeland. Impepho that I picked up is mainly used to invoke the ancestral spirits, cleanse negative energy, and hydrotherapy.
Impepho is mostly burnt to inform the ancestors through ones journey in life(when one is born they are introduced to the ancestors, when one reaches puberty, especially girls when they get their first menstrual cycle ancestors are informed that one is stepping into womanhood and guidance is seeked, when one gets married, and afterlife) or to intend a sacrificial offering.
