Worship Anansi as our Patron God

Anansi, ‘spider’, is the trickster of Akan religion and folklore, shown as a spider or a man with spider-like features and tied to stories, wisdom and cunning. In some tales he is a son of Asase Ya.

In one tale he flies on bird feathers gathered from every bird above the sky god Nyame’s village and learns the name of Nyame’s secret yam, becoming Nyame’s messenger. His tales travelled with the slave trade to Jamaica and Suriname.
