It's called "libation ". Some do it to appease their gods, some do it as a sign of respect to their dead friends and family, while some do it to induce the blessings of the earth

With this thought process there is little wonder why they simply cannot vote credible leaders into political office.

It's called pouring libation. We do that because we know we're all from the earth and so we call on the earth, mother nature and on our forebearers to provide better days and protection for us.
Forget all these nonentities calling it demonic or whatsoever, they're just blinded by foolishness

1. For some, their forefathers were drunkards...so the place were their forefathers are, is so hot that they need a sip of cold beer.

2. For the rest, it is a way to know if the beer is still good... Beer when poured on the ground should foam.

It's fetish.

Your dumb head like 'fetish'. The way you let yourself be brainwashed by whites and their religion is just astonishing.

Now everything traditional to your land is 'fetish', while the practices that occurred thousands of miles away from you are the 'real thing', including the ritual drinking of the 'blood' of your 'white saviour' at 'communion'.

That one is not 'fetish', but pouring gin on the ground to honour your ancestors is 'fetish'. You're an utter disgrace. You and the other colonised, thoughtless, and stupid m.orons who reason like you.
