Such intrinsic contradiction and ambiguity, here claimed as an inextricable constituent of Ruwund symbolism, far from revealing a loose and baffled thought are of a structuring nature and conceal a coherence the tenacity of which cannot be easily tamed to fit models of analysis of a dichotomous and classificatory nature. It is a journey through an ideological and symbolic thought in which mythical heroines are sterile mothers, at once the king’s mothers and his spouses where the sovereign is proclaimed both a foreigner and a native, the son and the father, a kin and an affine, at once different and identical where power is seen to have been usurped as well as founded with the connivance of insiders and where kingship is construed as a system which, generating from within, can only conceive of itself by resorting to an element coming from outside.
