The three sources of authority in Igbo society is associated with Igbo cosmology; The Sky (Elu-Igwe); Human World; and the World of Spirits. Each dimension has authorities that the Igbo give their submission. The Sky is ruled by their supreme Being called Chukwu, Kamanu the god of rain and some divinities. The human world has the earth goddess, nature spirits, and some divinities. Lastly, the world of spirits is governed by ancestors, personal god, and demons.
