‘riçart ‘buxtɐ (Richard Buchta) has also written that: "The most remarkable and unique nature of the Baká people is their spiritualism which is intertwined within their mythology. In the first place, the basis of the Baká people spiritualism is deeply rooted in their belief that a Baká man and woman are products of creation by one supernatural power known as Lomo, which is translated to mean God. This spiritualism and its distinctive emphasis on one God (Lomo) denote monotheism. Furthermore, the Baka spiritualism is also embedded into a creed which illustrates that the same one God (Lomo) can translate himself separately to each individual according to his or her required role in the community or family. Many times, a Baká prayer is usually recited in a homestead by a call for the God of so and so, and the God of this or that person. This does not imply in any way that the Baka people believe in many Gods. It simply means that the same one God manifests himself separately to each and every person depending on the roles and powers God ascribes to him or her for intercession purposes. The purpose of such a call during prayers by the Baká is to place emphasis on the belief on the already ascribed roles and powers that God has granted. Above all, such a call of belief is a recognition that the same God's manifestation runs through the family or community's chain of consanguinity from time in memorial to the present and must be utilized during worship and plight.

 

Secondly, the Baká people spiritualism goes further to manifest itself in the roles and functions of the Baká Chiefs or Ngére (translated to mean lord). So, all Baká Chiefs whether they are on official affirmation as Chiefs or not, are all believed to be ordained by God (Lomo). Thus each of the Chiefs (Ngére) has been granted specialized and distinct tasks and responsibilities which they are required to execute here on earth. In special times, Ngére can even conduct an act of intercession. As a result there is a Ngére for human fertility; a Ngére for protection; a Ngére for war; a Ngére for rituals; a Ngére for blessings; a Ngére for production and harvests; a Ngére for rain; a Ngére for wind, fog and fire; a Ngére for dispute management and justice, a Ngére for land, forests, mountains and rivers; a Ngére for artisan and blacksmith works, a Ngére for songs and folklore, a Ngére for conferment, a Ngére for constellation, a Ngére as an emissary and a Ngére for prophecy".
