What was written at the time by Bryan Edwards (a pro-slavery historian and planter) was the practice of Obeah by Maroons.
[4] According to the faith a supreme deity named Nyan-ko-Pong rules the cosmos and is generally unconcerned with human life.
The matter of spirits and their influence on Earth is considered to be Obeah (although the use of that specific term is controversial and some instead call it "science").
The Akan based word "Kumfu" was used for the total spiritual system and understanding of the world.
[3] An important ceremony of the religion is the Kromanti dance which involves the direction of a "fete-man" (ritual specialist) and the sacrifice of an animal to the pakit (ancestral spirit).
