“The Maasai are monotheistic. Their god, Ngai [Enkai], is the creator of everything. In the beginning, Ngai was one with the sky and the earth, and owned all the cattle that lived on it. However, one day the earth and sky separated, and Ngai was no longer earthbound. To prevent his cattle from dying, he sent the herds to the Maasai, who he instructed to look after his cattle. There are two main manifestations of Ngai: the good and benevolent black spirit and the vengeful red spirit.”
