Today Monday, May 19, 2025, the hallowed grounds of Nogokpo and Klikor will come alive with sacred energy, as the revered ZAKADZA deity sets out on its legendary pilgrimage—an event that unfolds just once every three years.
At exactly 11:00 AM, the deity will begin its spiritual procession from Nogokpo, making its way to Klikor to commune with the ancient deities Torgbui Dzima and Mama Vena. This meeting is more than ceremonial—it is a profound reconnection, a channeling of ancestral power, and a reaffirmation of the sacred bond between two spiritually significant towns.
The journey continues through Sukladzi, where the deity will rest for the night, before proceeding to Hedzranawo and finally returning to its home in Nogokpo.
What makes this year especially meaningful is its finality—ZAKADZA will retire after this pilgrimage, entering a period of silent guardianship, its presence felt but unseen, its power restored and preserved until the next awakening.
Witness a moment beyond tradition. Feel the pulse of ancestry. Walk with the spirit of the land.
