Ala also known as Ani, Ale, Ana is the female Alusi (deity) of the Earth, Morality, Death, Creativity and Fertility in Igbo Odinani.
She is the most important Alusi in the Igbo pantheon. It is believed that
in her stomach is were the dead and the living is.The water that flows in and out of her represents the fountain of life and fertility she gives.
The snake is one of Ala messenger ,not only a Python, but there are other types of Animals which Igbo people worship that are also known as Ala's messenger. Like in some hometown in Enugu state they don't kill or harm Green snake, my people sees harming a monkey as an abomination. There are other people that don't kill Snail, Monkey, Fish e.t.c
Ala is considered the highest Alusi in the Igbo pantheon and was the first Alusi created by Chukwu, God almighty.
Ala's husband is Amadioha, the sky god. She is also involved in judging human actions and is in charge of Igbo law and customs known as 'Omenala'.
Taboos and crimes among Igbo communities that are against the standard of Ala are called nsọ Ala.
All ground is considered 'Holy land' as it is Ala herself, With human fertility.
When a person commits a taboo in a community, this means that they have also desecrated or insulted Ala as the abomination (called ajo njo or Aru Ala, Alu Ani) was committed on her earth. She is responsiblefor many aspects of Igbo society, and guardianship of women and children in general, Her symbol is the crescent moon which means Bringing forth and Creativity to the world.
It is believed that the souls of the dead reside in her sacred womb. All in the community have to respect Ala as everybody lives on Ala, the earth.
It was sometimes believed that Ala could swallow you up into the underground.In Summary of all here is a Digital painting for the Earth Goddess.

AMADIOHA also known as Amadiora, Kamalu (which is short for Kalu Akanu), Kamanu,Kanu or Ofufe is the Alusi (Deity) of Thunder and Lightning.
Amadioha means The man of the People or the Free will of the people.
Astrologically,his governing planet is the Sun.
Metaphysically,Amadioha represents the collective will of the people. He is often associated with Anyanwu, who is the Igbo god of the Sun. While Anyanwu is more prominent in northern Igboland,Amadioha is more prominent in the southern part.
His day is Afo, which is the third market day of the Igbo four days week.
His Skin color is red, and his symbol is a white ram. Amadioha is well known by other diety for his handsomeness and he is the fairest of all, (no wonder Ani don't joke with him, lols).
According to Wikipedia these are Functions of Amadioha.
God of Justice-Amadioha is first and foremost known as a god of justice. He speaks through thunder, and he strikes with lightning. He creates thunder and lightning by casting “thunderstones”down to earth. Persons judged guilty by Amadioha are either killed by lightning (which leaves a black mark on the forehead) or attacked by a swarm of bees.
The property of the victim is usually taken by the priests of Amadioha, and the body is left unburied and the victim unmourned, as the punishment is considered to be a righteous one from God.
In some parts of Igboland, Amadioha is used as a curse word. Oaths are often sworn to him, which can carry deadly penalties when broken.The ritual cleansing for Amadioha is very costly and tasking. The deity can only be appeased by transferring the curse to a live goat that is let loose outside of the walls of the community. The ram is a common offering for him. The priestly clan of Amadioha are known as Umuamadi, which translates to children of Amadioha.
God of Love, Peace and Unity- Besides justice, Amadioha is also a god of love, peace and unity, and is prayed for increase of crops, children in the home, and benevolence. Aside the above manifestations of Amadioha, he represents, as different from most African religious world views, a messianic hope for those in critical situations.
Creator god-Amadioha is also considered to be a creator god. In some traditions, human beings were made by him when he sent a bolt of lightning down to strike a silk cotton tree, which split and revealed aman and a woman.Consort to AniAmadioha is often shown as a husband to Ani, who is the Earth mother. In some Igbo traditions, the pair are said to be the firstAlusito have been created by Chukwu. The two are often honored with Mbari houses, which were made with mudbrick. Amadioha is typically depicted as a fair-skinned, titled gentleman of cool temper who is the patron of “light skinned Igbos” and “men of exalted rank.” While Ani is considered to be the lawmaker of Igbo society (which is known as Odinani), Amadioha is the enforcer and protector of the law.God of CarversIn the play, the Other Side of the Mask, the character Jamike refers to Amadioha as “the god of carvers” and identifies him further as “the god that sends lightning to kill the evil spirits who inhabit the trees from which carvers hew their wood.
Personal Spirit-Amadioha as a personal shrine is a spirit of enterprise that brings wealth. It is also a representative of the head of the household.
OracleI n precolonial times, the village of Ozuzu turned Amadioha/Kamaluinto an oracle called Kamalu Ozuzu. People would travel all over Igboland to visit the oracle in order to settle disputes and for help with crucial decisions. Parties found guilty by the oracle could be sold into slavery.
Proverbs and prayers associated with Amadioha“Amadioha magbukwa gi” (Amadioha will punish you)“Chi m le kwee – O wuru si o wuni mere ihea, amadioha magbukwem” (My god please see- If it is true that I did this thing, let AmadiohaKill me)In summary of all here is a Digital Painting of Amadi Ora nile.

EKWENSU is an Alusi (Deity) of Bargains, A Trickster and A God of War in Igboland. He is well known as a Tortoise for his cunning ways. He is fond of breaking rules, boasting, and playing tricks on both humans and gods.
Many people mistake him as Ajo Mmuo (Devill or Evil Spirit) cos the white missionaries that invaded our land mistook Ekwensu as Satan. When they couldn't defeat us they tried to know what kind ofpower our ancestors had that killed their British armies when the Igbo people refuse to surrender and to be colonized by them. It was after the missionaries demonized it and our people destroyed it that was when they defeated us.
Ekwensu is simply a God of War, very Crafty at trade and negotiations, he is often invoked for guidance in difficult mercantilesituations His Companion is Ogbunabali which means (He kills at night) a traditional Ikwerre Death deity. which kills his victims in thenight, these usually being criminals or those who have committed an unspeakable taboo. Most Business people love to consult him so that nobody will betray each other and scout free.
Ekwensu is the father of all magics, his tricky lifestyle is the reason he is called a Tortoise, when his at war with your people you may not believe it cos he seems to be playful and laughs a lot. This my painting narrates how he is, The shield signifies Protection in as much as he is Tricky, Ekwensu don't play with those who call upon him, a cry of help can make him over do things he is capable of killing a whole of people once you mention who your enemies are.Due to his massive vengeance Ekwensu is well feared and avoided,only summoned when the situation is more than the people can handle. He doesn't harm or affiliate pains nor cause trouble to people like Ajo mmuo. He act when summoned.so here is my digital painting of the Tricky God of War.

IDEMILI also known as Eke Mili (meaning Python of the Sea) is a River or Sea Goddess of people of Nnobi in Anambra state in Igboland.
There is a story that says that when a child is born in Idemili, the short python crawls to the place where the baby is kept and curls around the child harmlessly to the admiration of the parents of the little child. It was also gathered that the visit of the snake to people’s homes could mean different thing as the snake is said to have the power to bring good or bad tidings. If, for instance, a nobleperson is about to pass on, a python could visit a relation of the person by dying in the house of the person."
