I strongly belief that vegetation deities are real and more related . Take for instance , when i was little boy , i can remember vividly how our kingsmen and community pay respect to vegetation deity the land was very fertile but as christianity become more popular . my people no longer do such celebration neither in traditional nor christian way and guest what happen since then ! Our land are no longer fertile , we are exclusively depend on northern nigeria for food . i wish my people to continue do the celebration atleast in christian way but not ignoring it completely .

I can relate to this story because I grew up in a farmhouse and witnessed stuffs and then, the community would come out at the beginning of every farming season to offer sacrifices to the gods. There is the new yam festival, corn celebration etc and we all could produce food.
That may or may not be the case, but your contribution is spot on.
Thanks and stay awesome!
