Ranking of Senya Beraku Priests and Priestesses


 Until recently, Senya Beraku had a strong attachment to traditional priests and priestesses, with their words and leadership carrying power and fear. These priests and priestesses were responsible for all the spiritual activities of the land. There are seven rankings of them in respect of the extent of their authority, leadership, and assignments:


1. Ataa-da - Grand Patriarch 

2. Ataa - Patriarch

3. Obraw - Chief Priest

4. Osow - High Priest

5. Anu-okyi - Primate 

6. Okyi - Senior Priest

7. Obirew - Priest or Priestess 

Among the seven, only the Obraw, Osow, and Obirew are probably still in existence or known today.
