Etymology
From Fang (Bantu) Bwiti.
name
- A syncretistic religion and spiritual discipline practised in Gabon and Cameroon.“Bwiti has not yet appeared in the United States and thus has not made a request for a religious exemption for its consumption of iboga. Clearly, Bwiti would satisfy criteria for a bona fide religion in the context of drug use (or “nondrug” use).”
noun
- An ancestor or other religiously relevant figure, especially one appearing in a drug-induced vision to an initiate of the Bwiti religion.“To enter the Bwiti religion initiates must see Bwiti, the Ancestors. The only way to see Bwiti is in the altered state of consciousness induced by Iboga, the sacred plant entheogen utilized by Bwiti followers.”
