The Serer religion, a ƭat Roog (the way of the Divine or path of God) is the original religious beliefs, practices and teachings of the Serer people. The Serers believe in a universal Supreme Deity called Roog. Serer religious beliefs encompasses ancient chants and poems; veneration and offerings to the Serer Gods, Goddesses, Serer Saints and ancestral spirits (Pangool), astronomy, initiation rites, medicine, cosmology and history of the Serer people. Roog is both everywhere and nowhere. That is why there is no "House of Roog". The Serers pray to Roog through intercessors, but do not make direct animal sacrifices to Roog. There is no heaven or hell in Serer religion. The immortality of the soul and reincarnation (ciiɗ in Serer Sine) is a strongly held belief in Serer religion. The Pangool - ancestral spirits of those who lived pure lives after they have passed on to the spirit world (Jaaniiw) are canonised as Holy Saints, and will be called upon and venerated, and have the power to intercede between the living and the Divine. Acceptance by the ancestors who have long departed and the ability to intercede with the Divine is as close to heaven after one passes over. Rejection by the ancestors and becoming a lost and wondering soul is as close to hell in Serer religion.
