Asase Ya

Asase Ya is also a goddess of peace and truth. Her name means Earth born on Thursday; the Fante call her Asase Afua, born on Friday. She is the wife of the sky god Nyankopon and the mother of Bea and Tano.

No temples are dedicated to her. She is worshipped in the fields of the Asante and other Akan with sacrifices, and the Bono are said to be her favoured people. As old Mother Earth she also receives the dead.
