The concept of Eternal Nature supports the thesis that gods do not die no matter how unwisely we may treat them. But there is a sense in which some gods may 'die' if we precipitate such 'death' by refusing to work with them, to defend them, and to provision them. Such gods may lie comatose, hungry, inert, sulking, and utterly unwilling to work for, listen to, or, grant the sup­plications of errant worshippers. In the same vein, a people's belief system, their mores, and their man-essence do not die. They subsist, waiting to be revived, to be recharged for cosmic effect. This is true of several Igbo belief systems which have moved dangerously to the precipice of extinction, at best in their twilights. This investigation is a reinvention of the Igbo idea of reincarnation in the works of select novelists of Igbo extraction like Chinua Achebe (Things Fall Apart) and Chimamanda Adichie (Purple Hibiscus). Deploying the Inter-textual and reader response frames as well as the qualitative methodology, this study establishes, in eclectic and comparative styles, the recurrence of traits as evidence of reincarnation in the novels under our critical lenses. The paper calls in consequence for the rekindling of the dying lights of the Igbo idea of reincarnation, arguing that the concept is much more trustworthy than the idea of eternal bliss in heaven or sempiternal sequestration in hell.
