Remember finally, that the ashes on your forehead are created from the burnt palms of last Palm Sunday. New beginnings invariably come from old false things that are allowed to die." - Richard Rohr (Wondrous Encounters: Scripture for Lent)

Named after the 1500 year old Nakayima Tree. Each side of the tree represented a different aspect of the pantheon of local Buganda spirits. The story goes that Nakayima, who was married to King Ndawula, was protecting the tree against some tyrant. She walked and disappeared into the tree, and became one with it. Someone tried to cut the tree down once, but that person died in an accident so the tree is protected by the spirit of Nakayima.
Tree Rooms:
Maama Nabuzana: prepares the cooking, takes care of the children, and represents fertility as witnessed by the offerings of pots and jugs filled with water placed by the base of the tree.
Nakayima Room
Child Tree: Food for children, they are allowed to eat it if it hasn’t spoiled yet, otherwise the insects eat it
King Ndungu: guides the hunters, his symbol is smoke
King Kalisa: brother to King Ndungu, he feeds everyone on earth
Maama Kiwanuka: like lightning and thunder she brings good things down and brings the bad things up and away with her
King Mukasa: lakes and rivers
Similar to the Tanda Burial Grounds near Mityana, the belief goes that Ugandans must first dream about the Nakayima Tree in a vision and then will come here on his or her own accord. Even though a woman in a far-off village dreams about fertility but has never heard of the Nakayima Tree, she can still dream a vision about it and be guided to Boma Village on the top of the hill in Mubende. Also similar to the Tanda Burial Grounds, everyone must remove his or her shoes before walking on the sacred ground near the base of the tree.
