QAMATHA
Xhosa Creator God
Also known as Qamata, Qamta, Quamta, Qumatha, Uqamata
Vague and blurry Creator God of the Xhosa
He’s the Top God of the Xhosa people somewhere in the eastern cape of South Africa. He is also known as – or occasionally the son of – Thixo.
There is not much to say about him; the Xhosa don’t trouble about his godly attributes and he doesn’t seem inclined to reveal anything. Qamatha worshipers are basically worshiping a giant blurry question mark. Nobody knows anything about him and nobody really cares either. What a wonderful contrast to the arguments and schisms of other religions we could mention.
So if you’re looking for a decent omnipotent deity but aren’t too fussy about the details, Qamatha could be the one for you. Just drop a pebble on one of the many sacred piles dotted around and he’s yours. Maybe. Nobody knows for sure. Particularly not the Xhosa.
