Wō Sóŋkra, or just Sóŋkra (or Songkra) is the God of Life and Peace. He controls the Land of Peace. Sóŋkra is often depicted as a king with a white and gold robe. His altar is decorated with white and emerald beads. It is believed that if a person is good and follows Sóŋkra, that he/she will go to the Land of Peace when he dies.

He is depicted as a wise old man holding a glass ball, which represents Earth. It is said that Ebokra will eventually die, and the ball will given to either Mbáo or Wō Sóŋkra.

Mbáo:
Mbáo is the God of Death and Evil. He's often depicted as a chained wild dog. It is believed that if a person chooses to go against Sóŋkra, he/she will be sent into the Infinite Fire, which Mbáo supervises.
An asengo (or in Fangu, asēŋqō) is a religious prose, praising the Gods and hoping for a better future. In Sonkraism, only asengams can recite asengos. Asengos precede the Oration (a sermon given by a temple leader) and always have a theme depending on what month it is. The first part of every asengo must be longer than the others.
