Gender: MasculineSign: suprême

Lova is an entity very little attested in the available sources. It figures as a supreme god attached to Cameroon in a few generalist repertories of African mythology, in the form of a simple mention, without narrative, without a specified ethnic group or documented cult. No solid ethnographic source consulted allows its origin or attributes to be specified. As things stand, Lova must be considered a poorly documented deity, to be handled with caution.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Lova?

Lova is mentioned as a supreme god of Cameroon in certain repertories of mythology, but without detail. Its ethnic group and its myths are not specified by the sources consulted.

Are there reliable sources on Lova?

No. The only traces found belong to generalist lists of deities, without first-hand ethnographic documentation. Caution is therefore required as to its identity.

Can it be linked to a better-known deity?

Nothing confirms it in the sources consulted. Cameroon counts several supreme beings according to the peoples, but no direct, attested link with Lova could be established.
