Voices of the Ancestors: Stories & Lore From Ghana’s Volta Region - E-book - ePub

How do you know when palm nuts are ready to pick?  There's a story that tells you.  Voices of the Ancestors: wisdom from times gone by; wisdom found in now seldom-told stories. Glimpse into the philosophy of a Voodoo Priestess; learn how the reverence for the forests and animals at Tafi Atome created a special place of culture for that village; read about how the people of Amyanui attune to the seas and marine life that still provide their livelihood.
These stories are a window into the disappearing culture of the Ewe of Ghana's Volta Region.  The collection includes stories of Kweku Anansi, and the animals of the region, giving an insight into their habitat, and insight into the traditions of the people.
